At first it wasn't European Economic Community, it was European coal and steel community
Yes, it's strange they did not mention it. It was an important step, done with the long term aim to create a federal Europe and to stop wars.
@@davidepaglieri132 To stop wars? Really! We only have to look at their Track Record to see how "Actions speak louder than words". As Bertolt Brecht aptly states, "General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think". :-(
I voted to join the Common Market in 1975, not the EU. EU hates UK leaving.
she also said "Germany" and not ""West Germany"
@@M1kelCccHello Same thing , you vote to join a economic and political union.
How to make a comment about the EU.
Step 1: Don't know anything.
Step 2: Claim to know everything.
Step 3: Draw comparison to other systems you know nothing about.
Step 4: . . .
Step 5: Profit!
The EU never listens to their own people.
They don't care about European culture and identity.
They think a Finnish person has just as much in common with a Portuguese, that's what they will make you think.
@@soifon7000 You have successfully fulfilled step 1-2. congratulations!
@@isaks7042 And the EU is being ruled by people who were admires of communism.
Like Angela Merkel who used to live in East Germany while it was still around.

No for fun
The Chancellor of Germany is not the head of state, she is the head of the government. Otherwise a good summary.
Most counties don't send their head off state actually.
@@JBinero,
They send their _executive_ head, could be said.
For most member states, it is indeed not the same person as their formal head of state.
@@marekj1100 Merkel is the head of the German executive.
She was also the unelected leader of the EU.
It's done a lot more than just stop war....
@J Rob it not part of eu...
The EU didn't stop wars... The Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957. Between the end of the ww2 and this treaty you have 12 years without wars. The Nato members and the countries of the Warsaw Pact were just afraid of each other because of the nuclear weapon. The EU has nothing to do with the end of wars in Europe.
@@alexandret0001 it did integrade the economy of the nation so if one were to declare war to the other it would be a desaster for the economy. and there are more reasons
@Amir Totekovatypical ignorant that can only insult but no brain
@Amir Totekova look so far you didnt said anything . i mean you are the one who stared a conversation with an insult so you are confirming my second coment
The European union is a political and economic group of 28 european countries.
Due to the aftermath of the two world wars.
Founded in 1958 by 6 countries: Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Netherlands,
Act on security climate and foreign relations.
No single leader.
Main areas are the council of European union that make decisions,
the European commission is the engine room of the eu and each country has a head of state that stands for them on behalf of the eu they must be politically independent.
the European parliament make laws of the eu
Thank you!
27 i think now
Can you hear the EU Anthem in background?
Why are u here
@@doyoufeel...thatyoulackcri6760 well at first I thought you would be a Troll or something with a very bad Taste, but then I looked at your CZcams Channel and the Videos you post. I can only recommend others to do the same
Loved the way that host described the working of EU.
@Heather Larson Yes Exactly.
Heather Larson
You Europeans are crazy 😂😂😂
Yes, she wonderfully dumbed it down for an American audience.
@Heather Larson No. The EU has it has worked up until now has had three major powers, UK, France, Germany (also known as the E3), and they have been very evenly matched. So in practice there are four power centres in the EU, London, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels (representing the other 25 member countries). Shifting from 4 to 3 centres of power will be a quite significant power shift.
The EU is a union of European countries. It's primary purpose is to bring Europe together and to put the millenium of wars aside.
It was mainly because of the 1st and 2nd world wars that they created it. But the Germans were the ones that started those wars. Everyone else was at peace. So if anything, they should've created it to counter Germany. Not to include them. Similar to NATO and USSR.
@@purplerocket4300 "everyone else was at peace" ... Its time you go back to school purple rocket
@@purplerocket4300 " everyone else was at peace " HAHAHAHAHAHA, you know that these 70 years without war is the longuest peace that Europe has EVER had.....go back to school young boy!
@@purplerocket4300 Wasn't WWI started by a Serbian nationalist killing the crown prince of Austria in Sarajevo?
Highly informative video.. Thanks a million to CNBC.. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏
They got most things about the EU and its predecessors wrong and sat it up to be more complex than it is.
What is the EU?
European Union.
Best thing that happent for us Europeans ! UE for us Europeans is like USA for the Americans.
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 closer to ussr for europe
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 EU (United Europe)? Is EU Not European Union. Eastern Europe is richer than Western Europe 100% because of EU?
@@williammcconville4967 ''Union '' or ''United '' is the same thing lmao . And yes, there are plenty of East European way more rich than plenty of Western Europeans, Ofcourse the difference between European States are disapearing day by day because of United Europe .
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 it not called United Europe tho is it, it's called the European Union if it was it would be UE not the EU see is the difference? I'm going to help you here I think what you ment is eastern Europe tends to be poor compared to Western Europe as a result of the ussr controlling the Eastern block if you will and now the Soviets have gone they are getting richer. 100% is everything so how can the situation of 2 factors that has left it in this situation be 100% down to 1 factor do you know how simple mathmatics work? If you think it's up to the better off countries to give what they have to make things all equal I think you should find a complete stranger that makes less money than you do and give them a portion of your money so you have the same, if you live house, apartment or whatever go find someone homeless and let them share your home hay fair is fair
Very good representation of the EU, easy to follow, informative and logically arranged!
Great job! 👍
Greetings from the Republic of Croatia, EU
amazing explanation
Really informative, thank you!
Outstanding job
Very well explained.
Very informative and well made videos :)
May I use some of your videos for my class? Thank you for the response.
CNBC IS THE BEST!
very interesting video. keep on the good work!
thanks for this
This Video is so amazing!!!!!
Great talk i love the way you talked slowly easy to get it 😚😚😚😚😚
3:40 the Chancellor (of the Federal Republic of Germany) is not the head of state but head of government, the President is the head of state.
4:37 There are also non-EU nations using the euro, like San Marino, Monaco, and Vatican City
And Andorra. They are allowed to use the Euro and even make Euro coins, and follow EU law without representation.
Kosovo and Montenegro use the Euro without official permission, cannot make national coins, and have no say in it.
Malta is, by number of inhabitants, and territory, the smallest fully represented member state.
Where is Elizabeth Schulz..?? I m missing her !!
I'd prefer Uptin Saïdi or Tom Chitty, they're a little better at explaining
How Portuguese is she? :P
isn't she Italian?
@@lucasfer736 I think she is portuguese, her name is used in Portugal, both name and surname. But what makes me think is that she wrote articles for a portuguese newspaper (Publico) between 2015 and 2016 mostly covering the EU.
This is the type of stuff I watch at 9 pm with nothing to do
I am taking European Union class, but watching this video for clarification. Lmao.
For all who may concern: best criticism of this quite okay summary is
Gilder von Schattenkreuz's
btw. the parliament does not posses the power of direct legislative initiative ;)
In most countries the parliament does not propose law. The EU just removed the official ability for them to do so. It's based on efficiency and clarity, not tradition. Furthermore, member states would never want the parliament to be able to propose laws. Right now the only ones who can propose laws are the Commission, if approved by the member states, and the member states themselves bypassing the Commission.
Sole right of legislative in the EU sits with the commission. There is no deviation from that. The parliament only has a say in the ordinary process. All other legislative processes either bypass the parliament or can ignore them.
you should have aslo mentioned the Schengen Area and The EEA
For an EU citizen, this is not really complicated.
Yeah, Juncker, Germany, and France ruin Europe for the rest. Nice.
@@mikkokivisto4414 LOL You mean the wealthy north just doesn't let the Southerners just not suck out its blood without any resistance?
@@popelgruner595 The north hates funding south's incompetence.
@@mikkokivisto4414 That's correct. We don't hate founding poorer countries but we HATE founding their INCOMPETENT governments and authorities.
@@popelgruner595 And the mismanagement of EU funds really annoys me. It does baffle me, how some of these countries were taken into the EU in the first place. What a disaster.
Thank you
Long story short: it's a confederacy. Member states retain sovereignty, they can leave whenever they want and they cede (voluntarily) some powers to the center, which is fairly weak. Politics is mainly national and european elections are tier 2. People feel mostly french or italian or whatever and not so much "european".
it's a totalitarian colony lmao. high time to wake up from this fairytale.
Brava Silvia ottima spiegazione in inglese, non ti conosco ma ti mando un bacio comunque, ciao
Nice 👍
Where is Elizabeth & Xin Yen
Its no so complex. Its like every goverment. You have elected People and administration People. The adminstration controls laws and write them for their department. Only parlement votes for laws. The vote has to represent 60% of the eu population. Its not a 50% system.
All spending, all laws you can check on the official eu sites.
Also you can find what their power is and what the members states powers is.
Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
Uk kas left the chat.

Well explained, Thanks CNBC👏
Asian Countries should also make a body like EU, may be AU (Asian Union)😏
Good idea but China
Some parts of Asia doesn't even feel asian. That's the difference. In Europe all countries consider themselves european, even countries outside europe want to be european.
AU is already taken by the African Union
There is the ASEAN.
Hm.. I hope CNBC gets a little bit deeper on these things.
If you want more detail then I can strongly recommend a channel called "Ciceroni",
It wasn't the EEC at first, it was the European Coal and Steel Community.
Over seeing growth in Poland 🇵🇱
Long live Polska. Polish brother from Canada
It would be best if Poland never leave the EU. The reason why is that the EU membership give us more possibilities and also protect us from Russia. Ofcourse we have many EU critics but the most of them are born under soviet occupation of Poland between 1945-1989 so its not even weird.
Can you add a video on hindi about europeon union
I would like this video to be more exact. I like the video but wanted more details. I where can I get more info on the EU setup, structure, procedures, etc? How is this Britain Brexit affect the EU, Britain and USA?
why’d they choose her to do the voice over omf
What is the cabinet of the USA President? What about the House of Representatives? Or about the US Senate? Yes, the United States of America is very complex.
Also these institutions are mirrored in state and local governments. Too much government is not a good thing. They call themselves leaders but are supposed to represent the people.
The last sentence in the video is impressive - the main aim is avoiding war between neighboring countries. It undoubtedly works!!👍
Who’s watching this after Brexit is done?
My My... who are (E)U?
Så da må vert land kjøpe sin egen kildekode fra Norge da eller?
This is actually rather Inaccurate and extremely Misleading...
1.
The European Commission does not Propose or Decide on Laws.
Your Explanation Suggests that the Commission. (Which is not an Elected Body of the EU) Would have the Power to basicly Suggest Legislation itself.
However its Part of the Executive. Not the Legislative. It does not have the Power to Suggest or Propose Laws itself.
It "Writes" Laws. Upon Request by the Elected Government Members.
The European Commission is the Civil Servants of the EU.
When Laws are Proposed or Considered by the Parliament of the EU or the Council of the EU. The Commission will then Write these Laws in Accordance with Legal Procedure and Expert Knowledge on the Single Aspects of the Law.
It is then Send back to the Party which Requested it to be Submitted as an actual Proposal for a Law so it can be Voted upon.
2.
When you say the European Parliament is the only Body in the EU which is Directly Representing the People then this is Partially Wrong and very Misleading.
Because it Suggests to People that only the European Parliament is Elected.
However this is not the Case.
The European Council are the Leaders of each Member Country and have a Voting Power Relative to the Countries which they Represent.
As all of these Countries are Democracies. All of these are Elected.
Same goes for the Council of the European Union which consists of the Ministers of each Country and thus of Members of this Countries Elected Parties.
Meaning that actually All 3 of the Main Decision Making Bodies of the EU. Are Elected by EU Citizens. And are either in Direct or Indirect Representation of the EU Population.
You should really check this stuff before correcting people. The European commission is the sole EU body with the right of legislative initiative. Neither the European parliament nor the council of the EU has a right to formally propose laws. The European parliament can only request a proposal of new laws from the commission but the latter is not obligated to so.
@@Endermankiller The EU Council can propose legislation.
The European Commission is elected in the same way the UK government is elected. People vote for a party. The leading candidate of the winning coalition becomes president, and picks the cabinet.
It can absolutely propose law. The European Council sets forward a policy agenda which the European Commission implements by writing legislative proposals. Those are sent to European Parliament who approves, rejects or amends the law. It is then sent to the Council, who does the same. This back and forth continues one more time, after which if there is no result, the is rejected automatically.
In some areas of policy the European Parliament is circumvented and does not get to vote. Only the member states vote in this case.
Since 2009 the Parliament has the right to demand a legislative proposal from the Commission within a time frame. The Commission can ignore this, however since the parliament has the right to disband the Commission and elect a new one, there are risks involved for the Commission to ignore a demand for a proposal.
@@JBinero I don't know if you mean the European council or the council of the EU but neither of them has a formal right to propose legislature. They can only ask the commission to do so similarly to the parliament. Of course it is virtually impossible for the commission to ignore such requests (in most cases), but still, only the commission has the right of initiative.
@@Endermankiller The EU Council is the shortened version of the Council of the European Union. In general though, often just "Council" is used since they are both so intertwined it doesn't always make sense to think of them as seperate.
The EU-Council absolutely can propose legislation on its own, bypassing all other institutions, but the needed majority is a super qualified majority. A regular vote would only require a regular qualified majority.
If your country is a "member state" of the EU, your laws are subject to the Primacy of European Union law, and that is an EU law principle that when there is conflict between European law and the laws of member states, European law prevails, and the norms of National law must be set aside. It gives them power over you. The European Court of Justice is there to enforce that power, using the Primacy rule. They intend to become a federal European Superstate.
Yeah, how is that bad?

You're so stupid. Do you remember soldiers you talk about belong to their own countries too? Do you think an unknown can convince them to attack whoever? Moreover, powers are divided and it's first thing in every democracy...
I'd want a single european federal state, but that's too utopian. A federal union of states or a confederation is a realistic way to be a de facto USE and satisfy all nationalist movements around Europe that could destroy the United Europe that we all know and love.
@J Rob In almost no EU country you have the possibility of electing your head of government. You elect a party that them elects the government. The same happens in the EU.
any who knows how world works knows european nations HAVE to be together -23yofinn
You forgot to mention a single entity that actually shapes the future of the EU. The European Commission decides on what new legislation to propose, but they do not initiate those. That can naturally only be done by those who have an agenda.
Unelected by ordinary people

France control the army Germany holds the finance
is anybody else ear itching?
Norway is the largest shareholder of mining company denounced for contamination in the Amazon. The Norwegian government, responsible for harsh criticism of environmental policies in Brazil is the main shareholder of the mining company Hydro, the target of denouncements by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Pará and of almost 2 thousand lawsuits for contamination of rivers and communities in Barcarena (PA), a municipality located in one of the most polluted regions of the Amazon rainforest.
840 Billion Dollars are stolen every year in Brazil by foreign countries, just in oil. The Norwegian Minister of Finance has just announced the profit of 120 billion dollars in 2022, which will increase to 138 billion dollars in 2023, in oil. Half of that profit is from Brazilian oil. That goes to Norway, for nothing, even without paying taxes to the Brazilian State. Everything is camouflaged and manipulated to hide, deny and even encourage an increase in theft, which is why the countries that most destroy the environment put pressure on the Brazilian Amazon. Because it has huge oil reserves and they have already destroyed almost all of its forests and now they want the rest of the Brazilian wealth. Say what they say, the Amazon still exists today, which would not have happened if it had been explored by the French, Israelis, Americans, Dutch, or English. The Norwegian Royal Family Member, Erling Sven Lorentzen, married with princess Ragnhild, sister of king Harald V of Norway, attacked and robbed the lands of the Amazonian Indians Tupinikim and Guarani, his company planted more than 1 million hectars of eucaliptus and left the natives without land and later without any water.
In addition to facing lawsuits, the Hydro company has yet to pay fines stipulated by Ibama in the amount of R$ 17 million, after an overflow of toxic mud in rivers by one of its subsidiaries in the Amazon region, in 2009. According to Ibama, the spill placed the local population at risk and generated "fish kills and significant destruction of biodiversity". But all so called rich countries are stressing for destroying all the Amazon forest, because their ego is so rotten that they still prefer money, coins and material units to buy garbage and plastic toys, than life. After destroying all their own natural resources, they dont want that Brazil keep being the only country in the world who still have a big forest, because it wasnt transformed in money, like rich countries have done!
Last night savior
Long live EU!
