It was signed on 25th March 1957 by Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany and came into force on 1st January 1958. This treaty proposed the progressive reduction of customs duties and the establishment of a customs union. It proposed to create a single market for goods, labor, services, and capital across the EEC's member states. It also proposed the creation of a Common Agriculture Policy, a Common Transport Policy and a European Social Fund, and established the European Commission.

With the joining of these countries, the European Economic Community had then 9 Member States. In this period of time the European Economic Community also started to transfer huge sums of money to create jobs and infrastructure in poor countries. The European Parliament also increased its influence in the Community’s affairs and in 1979 all citizens voted to choose their members directly. The European Economic Community also started to create laws to protect the environment.

They were parliamentary elections held across all 9 European Community member states (France, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Luxembourg, West Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium and Ireland), and also the first international election in history. 
  Seats in the Parliament had been allocated to the states according to population, and in some cases were divided into constituencies, but members sat according to political groups.
  Social Democrats and Christian Democrats won the most seats (113 and 107, respectively).

This treaty founded the EU and established its pillar structure. It laid out some important new aims for the member countries, such as integrating their security and foreign policies, but it also kept goals already established by the ECSC, EEC, and EURATOM, such as further integrating their economies. Furthermore, this treaty changed the structure of the EU by organizing it into the "three pillars" - the community pillar, the foreign and security pillar, and the pillar of police and judicial cooperation. The Treaty of Maastricht was the official start of the EU.

It was established with seven judges, allowing the representation of each of the six member States and at the same time, it provided an odd number of judges in case of a tie. One judge was appointed from each member state and the seventh seat rotated between the "large Member States" (West Germany, France and Italy).

Erasmus +,  or Erasmus Plus, is the new programme combining all the EU's current schemes for education, training, youth and sport, which was started in January 2014.

In 1993, the Free Market started, allowing free movement of goods, services, people and capital. In 1997 the Schengen Agreement was signed, an agreement between European countries that dictated that people could move freely without a passport between member countries.

These two moments in the history of the EU are very important because they made the exchange of goods between countries much easier and it also made a difference in education as many young people are now able to study abroad with the EU contribution to its costs.
