It started as the European Coal and Steel Community in, I think, 1950. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome founded The Common Market, which became the EEC (European Economic Community) in 1975 when, after Ted Heath had taken Britain in, in 1973, Harold Wilson gave us a Referendum on whether to stay in - Britain said 'Yes' by two-thirds to one-third votes. Ireland, Denmark and Norway followed Britain in, and it was called The EEC (European Economic Community). In 1993(?2) this became the EU (European Union) with the Maastricht Treaty, and some countries joined the Schengen Agreement, abolishing borders between these countries, and discussing the possibility of a common currency. The Maastricht Treaty dictated the Four Free Echanges - goods, services, capital, people.
