Europas Reise - 30 Jahre nach Maastricht

Three decades ago, on November 1, 1993, the Maastricht Treaty came into force. Establishing a European Union (EU) between twelve member states (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom), it introduced European citizenship, laid the foundations for a common internal market without customs duties, and paved the way for the introduction of a single currency: the euro.
