The Causes of European Union and Its Possible Effects on the Participant Countries

    European Union is a political and an economic organization which consists of twenty seven countries. It was founded after the Second World War. Austria, Belgium, Germany and France are some of the countries that take place in this institution. This organization is based on the rule of law. In other words, all member countries reach an agreement democratically. The parliament is elected every five years by the EU citizens. The main aim of this organization is to keep peace and prosperity among the countries. Although the causes of European Union may differ from person to person, there seems to be some main reasons. Promoting human rights both internally and externally and  developing a single market system are the two major causes of the European Union.

    The first cause of European Union is to promote human rights both internally and externally. That is; democracy, freedom, equality among people, the rule of law and respect for human rights is quite significant for this organization. After signing the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009, all rights were brought together in a single document. Since then, the EU applies these factors all the time.

    The second cause of European Union, which is a major trading power, is to develop a single market system. The single market represents main economic engine, providing loads of goods, services and money. In addition, the EU aims to develop these resources to enable citizens a number of benefits. As these sources continue to grow, the citizens live in prosperity.

        After looking at the two main causes of European Union namely, promoting human rights and developing a single market system, now let’s look at its possible effects on the participant countries which are low prices and travelling to other European countries without any barrier. The first possible effect of European Union on the participant countries is having everything in low prices since the trade is quite powerful. In addition to powerful and vivid trade, customs union also leads citizens to purchase everything cheapper than the other countries which are not included in European countries. As a consequence, people live in high standards and do not suffer from poverty.
