    they all have in common.


    6. How is it run?

    Commission, and the presidency. The European Council is where the
    huge decisions are mostly made. There are people from each country

    the Commission should be made into laws. It also helps with how
    much the EU should spend. Also makes sure parts of the EU are
    working right. Members are elected every five years. The European
    Commission does day to day work for the EU. This means things like
    making new laws for the European Parliament to vote on, and makes

    six months a different country gets the presidency of the EU.
    Comes around every 13 and a half years.

    Some are pro Europeans because they think being in the EU is a
    great idea, and want the UK to use the Euro currency. They think

    countries. They are afraid Britain will be in danger of being left
    behind by the rest of the EU.

    8. Who and why are some in the UK Eurosceptics?


    They are people who feel that the UK is different from other
    European countries. Some people are UK Eurosceptics because they
    are worried that the UK is losing its independence. They think that
    economic and political unions will be bad for Britain because they
    want to replace Britains membership of the EU.

    9. What is the Euro?


    A Euro is money that is used in 16 countries in Europe. First only 12
    countries used the notes and coins, but then it eventually reached 16
    countries. Right now the UK does not use them.

    grown with their members. It expanded to nine countries, than it
    ended with having 27 members, and now there are 28 members
    today which is a huge accomplishment.

    11. Top five aims of the EU?


    The top five aims are to promote economic and social progress by
    helping people earn more money, and people getting treated how they
    deserve to be. To speak up for the EU by working together they
    hope other countries will listen to them. Introduce European
    citizenship by seeing that everyone from the countries that are
    joined in the EU are citizens of the EU and get special rights. To
    develop Europe as an area of freedom, security, and justice is also a
    major aim. By this they mean helping Europeans live in safety,
    without war. And finally, help maintain and build on established EU
    law. By this they mean make laws that protect peoples rights in the
    member countries.
