European Community
b. spec. Designating a developing series of economic and political unions between certain countries of western (and later also eastern) Europe from 1952 onwards, as European Economic Community, European Community, European Union. Cf. Europe n. 1, common market n. 1aThe European Coal and Steel Community (abbreviated ECSC) was created by the Treaty of Paris in 1951, coming into being in 1952, to regulate pricing, transport, and tariffs for the coal and steel industries of the member countries. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome established the European Economic Community (abbreviated EEC), broadening the cooperation on trade and tariffs between these countries, and a second treaty signed the same day created the European Atomic Energy Community (see Euratom n.). In Britain, the EEC was often referred to as the Common Market, and was also known under the shortened name European Community from at least the early 1960s. European Community (abbreviated EC) became a technical term in 1967, when the organizational structures of the three communities were merged under a treaty signed in Brussels in 1965; in legal contexts, the plural European Communities was used. After the United Kingdom joined the European Community in 1973, EEC and Common Market remained the dominant terms in British use, but over the course of the 1980s, European Community or EC came to take precedence, at least in official and journalistic use. In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty, signed by the member countries of the European Community, established the European Union (abbreviated EU), which came into force on 1 November 1993. It comprises the former European Community, by now with complete internal free trade and common external tariffs, and two new inter-governmental arrangements: on common foreign and security policy and on enhanced cooperation on interior policy, legal, and immigration issues. Legally, the term European Community now refers to what was the EEC, with European Communities used to refer to this and Euratom together (the ECSC ceased to exist in 2002), but it is still often used with its old designation, equivalent to European Communities. In popular British use, European Community, European Economic Community, and their abbreviated forms continue to be used loosely to refer to what is now the European Union.
