What was the name of the European Union when it was first established?
Correct Answer: European Economic Community
When first established by the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the organisation was called the European Economic Community (EEC). It initially focused on creating a common market for goods, services, capital and labour among its six founding member states.
The name was changed to the European Union (EU) by the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, which also introduced political and social dimensions to the organisation. The UK joined the EEC in 1973 and left the EU in 2020 following the Brexit referendum.
