The European Union is telling us that it is 50 years old and a few parties are planed here and their..........................However, I would disagree and say that the EU is only 15 years old. Why, well, the EU was established in 1992 by the Treaty on European Union (The Maastricht Treaty), and is the de facto successor to the six-member European Economic Community founded in 1957. One was defunct and the other was then established.

So birthday or propaganda?

Probably both, its image isnt what it used to be i suppose.

Your almost right, not quite so. I definately think the foundations of the EU were founded in 1957, but yeah, its current form has been esteblished in 1992. Back then the Euro also got launched, wich can be a symbol for the establishment of the EU.
