At first it wasn't European Economic Community, it was European coal and steel community
Yes, it's strange they did not mention it. It was an important step, done with the long term aim to create a federal Europe and to stop wars.
@@davidepaglieri132 To stop wars? Really! We only have to look at their Track Record to see how "Actions speak louder than words". As Bertolt Brecht aptly states, "General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think". :-(
I voted to join the Common Market in 1975, not the EU. EU hates UK leaving.
she also said "Germany" and not ""West Germany"
@@M1kelCccHello Same thing , you vote to join a economic and political union.
Pov: you are working on a school thing😭🤚

No
This is cringe
Ye homework )
No for fun
How to make a comment about the EU.
Step 1: Don't know anything.
Step 2: Claim to know everything.
Step 3: Draw comparison to other systems you know nothing about.
Step 4: . . .
Step 5: Profit!
The EU never listens to their own people.
They don't care about European culture and identity.
They think a Finnish person has just as much in common with a Portuguese, that's what they will make you think.
@@soifon7000 You have successfully fulfilled step 1-2. congratulations!
@@isaks7042 And the EU is being ruled by people who were admires of communism.
Like Angela Merkel who used to live in East Germany while it was still around.
unknown PeaceSheriff How does that make her Communist? SHE WAS TRAPPED THERE DUMBASS
Shoutout to the South Park reference !!!
The Chancellor of Germany is not the head of state, she is the head of the government. Otherwise a good summary.
Most counties don't send their head off state actually.
@@JBinero,
They send their _executive_ head, could be said.
For most member states, it is indeed not the same person as their formal head of state.
@@marekj1100 Merkel is the head of the German executive.
She was also the unelected leader of the EU.
It's done a lot more than just stop war....
@J Rob it not part of eu...
The EU didn't stop wars... The Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957. Between the end of the ww2 and this treaty you have 12 years without wars. The Nato members and the countries of the Warsaw Pact were just afraid of each other because of the nuclear weapon. The EU has nothing to do with the end of wars in Europe.
@@alexandret0001 it did integrade the economy of the nation so if one were to declare war to the other it would be a desaster for the economy. and there are more reasons
@Amir Totekovatypical ignorant that can only insult but no brain
@Amir Totekova look so far you didnt said anything . i mean you are the one who stared a conversation with an insult so you are confirming my second coment
The European union is a political and economic group of 28 european countries.
Due to the aftermath of the two world wars.
Founded in 1958 by 6 countries: Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Netherlands,
Act on security climate and foreign relations.
No single leader.
Main areas are the council of European union that make decisions,
the European commission is the engine room of the eu and each country has a head of state that stands for them on behalf of the eu they must be politically independent.
the European parliament make laws of the eu
Thank you!
27 i think now
Can you hear the EU Anthem in background?
Why are u here
@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable well at first I thought you would be a Troll or something with a very bad Taste, but then I looked at your TH-cam Channel and the Videos you post. I can only recommend others to do the same
Loved the way that host described the working of EU.
@Heather Larson Yes Exactly.
Heather Larson
You Europeans are crazy 😂😂😂
Yes, she wonderfully dumbed it down for an American audience.
@Heather Larson No. The EU has it has worked up until now has had three major powers, UK, France, Germany (also known as the E3), and they have been very evenly matched. So in practice there are four power centres in the EU, London, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels (representing the other 25 member countries). Shifting from 4 to 3 centres of power will be a quite significant power shift.
The EU is a union of European countries. It's primary purpose is to bring Europe together and to put the millenium of wars aside.
It was mainly because of the 1st and 2nd world wars that they created it. But the Germans were the ones that started those wars. Everyone else was at peace. So if anything, they should've created it to counter Germany. Not to include them. Similar to NATO and USSR.
@@purplerocket4300 "everyone else was at peace" ... Its time you go back to school purple rocket
@@purplerocket4300 " everyone else was at peace " HAHAHAHAHAHA, you know that these 70 years without war is the longuest peace that Europe has EVER had.....go back to school young boy!
@@purplerocket4300 Wasn't WWI started by a Serbian nationalist killing the crown prince of Austria in Sarajevo?
Very good representation of the EU, easy to follow, informative and logically arranged!
Great job! 👍
Greetings from the Republic of Croatia, EU
What is the EU?
European Union.
Best thing that happent for us Europeans ! UE for us Europeans is like USA for the Americans.
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 closer to ussr for europe
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 EU (United Europe)? Is EU Not European Union. Eastern Europe is richer than Western Europe 100% because of EU?
@@williammcconville4967 ''Union '' or ''United '' is the same thing lmao . And yes, there are plenty of East European way more rich than plenty of Western Europeans, Ofcourse the difference between European States are disapearing day by day because of United Europe .
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 it not called United Europe tho is it, it's called the European Union if it was it would be UE not the EU see is the difference? I'm going to help you here I think what you ment is eastern Europe tends to be poor compared to Western Europe as a result of the ussr controlling the Eastern block if you will and now the Soviets have gone they are getting richer. 100% is everything so how can the situation of 2 factors that has left it in this situation be 100% down to 1 factor do you know how simple mathmatics work? If you think it's up to the better off countries to give what they have to make things all equal I think you should find a complete stranger that makes less money than you do and give them a portion of your money so you have the same, if you live house, apartment or whatever go find someone homeless and let them share your home hay fair is fair
Highly informative video.. Thanks a million to CNBC.. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏
They got most things about the EU and its predecessors wrong and sat it up to be more complex than it is.
Really informative, thank you!
amazing explanation
Very informative and well made videos :)
May I use some of your videos for my class? Thank you for the response.
Very well explained.
Outstanding job
very interesting video. keep on the good work!
How Portuguese is she? :P
isn't she Italian?
@@lucasfer736 I think she is portuguese, her name is used in Portugal, both name and surname. But what makes me think is that she wrote articles for a portuguese newspaper (Publico) between 2015 and 2016 mostly covering the EU.
4:37 There are also non-EU nations using the euro, like San Marino, Monaco, and Vatican City
And Andorra. They are allowed to use the Euro and even make Euro coins, and follow EU law without representation.
Kosovo and Montenegro use the Euro without official permission, cannot make national coins, and have no say in it.
Malta is, by number of inhabitants, and territory, the smallest fully represented member state.
Great talk i love the way you talked slowly easy to get it 😚😚😚😚😚
This Video is so amazing!!!!!
thanks for this
CNBC IS THE BEST!
I am taking European Union class, but watching this video for clarification. Lmao.
Uk kas left the chat.
3:40 the Chancellor (of the Federal Republic of Germany) is not the head of state but head of government, the President is the head of state.
Where is Elizabeth Schulz..?? I m missing her !!
I'd prefer Uptin Saïdi or Tom Chitty, they're a little better at explaining
very super Parliament of EU.
thank you very much

This is the type of stuff I watch at 9 pm with nothing to do
Long story short: it's a confederacy. Member states retain sovereignty, they can leave whenever they want and they cede (voluntarily) some powers to the center, which is fairly weak. Politics is mainly national and european elections are tier 2. People feel mostly french or italian or whatever and not so much "european".
it's a totalitarian colony lmao. high time to wake up from this fairytale.
Nice 👍
For all who may concern: best criticism of this quite okay summary is
Gilder von Schattenkreuz's
btw. the parliament does not posses the power of direct legislative initiative ;)
In most countries the parliament does not propose law. The EU just removed the official ability for them to do so. It's based on efficiency and clarity, not tradition. Furthermore, member states would never want the parliament to be able to propose laws. Right now the only ones who can propose laws are the Commission, if approved by the member states, and the member states themselves bypassing the Commission.
Sole right of legislative in the EU sits with the commission. There is no deviation from that. The parliament only has a say in the ordinary process. All other legislative processes either bypass the parliament or can ignore them.
Well explained, Thanks CNBC👏
Asian Countries should also make a body like EU, may be AU (Asian Union)😏
Good idea but China
Some parts of Asia doesn't even feel asian. That's the difference. In Europe all countries consider themselves european, even countries outside europe want to be european.
AU is already taken by the African Union
There is the ASEAN.
For an EU citizen, this is not really complicated.
Yeah, Juncker, Germany, and France ruin Europe for the rest. Nice.
@@mikkokivisto4414 LOL You mean the wealthy north just doesn't let the Southerners just not suck out its blood without any resistance?
@@popelgruner595 The north hates funding south's incompetence.
@@mikkokivisto4414 That's correct. We don't hate founding poorer countries but we HATE founding their INCOMPETENT governments and authorities.
@@popelgruner595 And the mismanagement of EU funds really annoys me. It does baffle me, how some of these countries were taken into the EU in the first place. What a disaster.
Its no so complex. Its like every goverment. You have elected People and administration People. The adminstration controls laws and write them for their department. Only parlement votes for laws. The vote has to represent 60% of the eu population. Its not a 50% system.
All spending, all laws you can check on the official eu sites.
Also you can find what their power is and what the members states powers is.
Thank you
Where is Elizabeth & Xin Yen
you should have aslo mentioned the Schengen Area and The EEA
Over seeing growth in Poland 🇵🇱
Long live Polska. Polish brother from Canada
It would be best if Poland never leave the EU. The reason why is that the EU membership give us more possibilities and also protect us from Russia. Ofcourse we have many EU critics but the most of them are born under soviet occupation of Poland between 1945-1989 so its not even weird.
EU. Recommendation to become a Federal superstate of Europe. No veto. Only 15 of the 27 states voting in favour. Rewriting of the treaties.
who want to takeover ALL countries healthcare! I'll stay with NHS thanks
Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
I would like this video to be more exact. I like the video but wanted more details. I where can I get more info on the EU setup, structure, procedures, etc? How is this Britain Brexit affect the EU, Britain and USA?
Brava Silvia ottima spiegazione in inglese, non ti conosco ma ti mando un bacio comunque, ciao
Hm.. I hope CNBC gets a little bit deeper on these things.
If you want more detail then I can strongly recommend a channel called "Ciceroni",
The last sentence in the video is impressive - the main aim is avoiding war between neighboring countries. It undoubtedly works!!👍
What is the cabinet of the USA President? What about the House of Representatives? Or about the US Senate? Yes, the United States of America is very complex.
Also these institutions are mirrored in state and local governments. Too much government is not a good thing. They call themselves leaders but are supposed to represent the people.
why’d they choose her to do the voice over omf
If your country is a "member state" of the EU, your laws are subject to the Primacy of European Union law, and that is an EU law principle that when there is conflict between European law and the laws of member states, European law prevails, and the norms of National law must be set aside. It gives them power over you. The European Court of Justice is there to enforce that power, using the Primacy rule. They intend to become a federal European Superstate.
Yeah, how is that bad?
@@matusmotlo3854 I didn't say it was!!☺️☺️🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@nairdamorton5148 Isn't it always that international treaties a country engages in, prevail national law?
@@dutchman7623 , no.
@@nairdamorton5148 What do you mean, no? Why answer at all when you clearly don't have a clue? International law takes precedence over national law.
Can you add a video on hindi about europeon union

It wasn't the EEC at first, it was the European Coal and Steel Community.
What is the EU?
All these recent comments going "it does not work!" completely missing the fact that the EU is a global leader in scientific research, top organisation in trade, liberty, freedom, peace etc
Ya come soon..
This is actually rather Inaccurate and extremely Misleading...
1.
The European Commission does not Propose or Decide on Laws.
Your Explanation Suggests that the Commission. (Which is not an Elected Body of the EU) Would have the Power to basicly Suggest Legislation itself.
However its Part of the Executive. Not the Legislative. It does not have the Power to Suggest or Propose Laws itself.
It "Writes" Laws. Upon Request by the Elected Government Members.
The European Commission is the Civil Servants of the EU.
When Laws are Proposed or Considered by the Parliament of the EU or the Council of the EU. The Commission will then Write these Laws in Accordance with Legal Procedure and Expert Knowledge on the Single Aspects of the Law.
It is then Send back to the Party which Requested it to be Submitted as an actual Proposal for a Law so it can be Voted upon.
2.
When you say the European Parliament is the only Body in the EU which is Directly Representing the People then this is Partially Wrong and very Misleading.
Because it Suggests to People that only the European Parliament is Elected.
However this is not the Case.
The European Council are the Leaders of each Member Country and have a Voting Power Relative to the Countries which they Represent.
As all of these Countries are Democracies. All of these are Elected.
Same goes for the Council of the European Union which consists of the Ministers of each Country and thus of Members of this Countries Elected Parties.
Meaning that actually All 3 of the Main Decision Making Bodies of the EU. Are Elected by EU Citizens. And are either in Direct or Indirect Representation of the EU Population.
You should really check this stuff before correcting people. The European commission is the sole EU body with the right of legislative initiative. Neither the European parliament nor the council of the EU has a right to formally propose laws. The European parliament can only request a proposal of new laws from the commission but the latter is not obligated to so.
@@Endermankiller The EU Council can propose legislation.
The European Commission is elected in the same way the UK government is elected. People vote for a party. The leading candidate of the winning coalition becomes president, and picks the cabinet.
It can absolutely propose law. The European Council sets forward a policy agenda which the European Commission implements by writing legislative proposals. Those are sent to European Parliament who approves, rejects or amends the law. It is then sent to the Council, who does the same. This back and forth continues one more time, after which if there is no result, the is rejected automatically.
In some areas of policy the European Parliament is circumvented and does not get to vote. Only the member states vote in this case.
Since 2009 the Parliament has the right to demand a legislative proposal from the Commission within a time frame. The Commission can ignore this, however since the parliament has the right to disband the Commission and elect a new one, there are risks involved for the Commission to ignore a demand for a proposal.
@@JBinero I don't know if you mean the European council or the council of the EU but neither of them has a formal right to propose legislature. They can only ask the commission to do so similarly to the parliament. Of course it is virtually impossible for the commission to ignore such requests (in most cases), but still, only the commission has the right of initiative.
@@Endermankiller The EU Council is the shortened version of the Council of the European Union. In general though, often just "Council" is used since they are both so intertwined it doesn't always make sense to think of them as seperate.
The EU-Council absolutely can propose legislation on its own, bypassing all other institutions, but the needed majority is a super qualified majority. A regular vote would only require a regular qualified majority.
UK too?????
Who's in charge?

Advanatege is that its pretty hard for one country to have all the power but share some of that power supranationaly for greater common good, basically like confederation.
United in diversity
when do we get United States ofEurope?
The sooner the better.
Never
You're so stupid. Do you remember soldiers you talk about belong to their own countries too? Do you think an unknown can convince them to attack whoever? Moreover, powers are divided and it's first thing in every democracy...
I'd want a single european federal state, but that's too utopian. A federal union of states or a confederation is a realistic way to be a de facto USE and satisfy all nationalist movements around Europe that could destroy the United Europe that we all know and love.
@J Rob In almost no EU country you have the possibility of electing your head of government. You elect a party that them elects the government. The same happens in the EU.
If CNBC will help to create few organisations around world will be beautiful, for keep everything safe and in control. For this need to have organisations which will control quality personal in government organisations around the world. It will give low rate corruption in governance system, low criminal rate in security government system. In different cities and villages it is highly low.
I wish India Pakistan copy this model and form South Asian Union.
Im from Pakistan and would love to see both country prosper. Rest of the world is so ahead in term of economy compared to our countries
Do a video on Similarities between USA, EU and Republic of India.
Even CNBC got confused.. It was not European Economic Community at first. It was European Coal and Steel Community
They are Americans ,they don’t get it
I like me some red dress. Simple man over here.
Hi

Just as police upped they game on the front line. Think that Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not to warn us but rather to advertise it on the basis of it being controlled to some extent. Big industry in those early days. Rules of engagement will change. Don't get left behind.
any who knows how world works knows european nations HAVE to be together -23yofinn
The EU is strong then Britain is gone which I think can start a war with the irish already mad it could end bad
Can someone make a summary would appreciate it
Last night savior
EEC was established after the GB joined ... before it was known as european coal and steel community ... get your shit together.
Yeah:)
everyone talking about how informative the video is.
all i wanna know is, whats her @?

is anybody else ear itching?
There is such a thing as the High Representative, dear americans...but you *do* call Berlin of course.

So basically just like the United States, but members can leave and are still independent nations.
Though leaving seems difficult when you look at brexit
It s comparable at best to the USA of 1776. It s a highly decentralized confederation where all decisions are taken by all member of the confederation. Together 28 european countries are incredibly powerful but none of them could possibly accept being dictated to by another so every decisions is made together everyone has veto power and there is this giant beaurocracy and decisions are taken painfully slowly as stated in this video. The answer to Kissinger s question must be nobody for the sake of member s ego. That said the position of the president of the European council was specifically created for the EU to have a mouthpiece like Locutus of Borg in Star Trek. The current president is polish man Donald Tusk.
Leaving is not difficult, they're just discussing an angreement for future relations, if the angreement is not reach, two years from the time the right of withdrawal was exercised the british are out.
Note: the EU is not like USA, this last One is a federal State, the EU is not yet a Federal State.
We are not trying to be the United States of Europe but the States of a United Europe. I know that this is a play on words but let it sink in for a bit.
@J Rob Nah mate it's more the Government don't have a clue what they are doing, don't blame Parliament for doing it's job, blame the Tory Government for being arrogant.
