Economic Objectives of the EU
The Single Market
The EU has a system of common laws called the four freedoms. They are the free movements of goods, capital, services and people. Member states must make special payments to remain part of the Single Market and follow the same EU laws as other member states.
Capital
Goods
The EU sets standards and technical specifications for goods for the entire region. Once goods are imported into the EU, they do not need to pass through customs control.
The free movement of money gives citizens advantages such as opening bank accounts in other member states.
People
Services
Citizens of the EU can live, work, travel or study in any other member state without the need for work permits or visas. Often, there are no border checks when you move between EU countries.
People and businesses are able to provide services in other member states, allowing them to earn money. Certain professionals need the same qualifications across the EU.
The Customs Union
The EU also trades with countries who are not part of the EU. The goods coming from outside the EU have to be checked at the border. This can be done in one EU country, and then the goods can move around EU member states without any further checks and without paying more taxes.
The Euro Area
The Euro Area is a group of EU member countries that use the euro as their currency. There are 19 countries, including Spain. Spain started using euros in 2002. The other EU member states keep using their own currency.
Some advantages of the euro area:
The economy is more stable and it can grow.
For business and citizens, using the same currency is easier.
It attracts non-EU countries to do business with countries that use the euro, to promote trade.
The euro gives the EU more importance, as it is the second most important currency, after the dollar.
The euro coins have one distinctive side from the EU country they came from. For example, the 50-cent coin from Spain has Cervantes on one side, and the one-euro coin has Juan Carlos I.
EU Symbols
EU flag
The EU flag has 12 stars on it arranged in a circle. This represents the unity between the member countries.
Euro Sign
It is a symbol to represent the currency of the EU. In English, it is written before the figure: €5.00.
EU's anthem
Its name is 'Ode to Joy'. It is based on music from Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
The Population of Europe
Population structure
Life expectancy
Migration
Europe population is growing due to migratory movements.
Number of births is low, but the number of deaths is also low.
In the last 30 years, the percentage of immigrants grew rapidly.
The average life expectancy in Europe is 78 years.
Europe has an ageing population. in 2015, 18% of its population was aged 65 or over.
Immigration can increase the economically active population and the birth rate.
Population distribution
- Europe's population density is about 70 inhabitants per square kilometre.
- Countries with highest population density: Monaco, Belgium, Malta and Netherlands.
- Less populated countries: Norway, Iceland and Finland.
- About 77% of European population lives in urban areas.
- The population densities of countries with very cold climates are often lower.
- Many people live near coastal areas and in Western Europe, where economies can be stronger.
Making and interpreting graphs
Graphs are useful when you have lots of iformation you want to present because they are a visual way to communicate data. A graph has a title, labels and a key. There are different styles of graphs we use to present different information.
You can use pie charts to compare the different parts of one thing.
The title tells you the topic of the graph.
The labels tell you what the different proportions represent.
The key explains what any symbols or colours mean.
Making and interpreting graphs
Line graphs are a good way to show small changes over time.
To compare big changes, you can use bar graphs. A bar graph can be horizontal or vertical.
Making and interpreting graphs
Now, you are going to make a graph. Choose from one of these topics:- Population in Europe since 2015. - Deaths in Europe since 2015. Now, search online for information about your topic. Decide on the best graph to present your information. It can be a pie chart, a line graph or a bar graph. Then, draw your graph, give it a title and label the parts. Finally, make a key for any colours or symbols in your graphs.
