On February 7, 2022 it was exactly thirty years since the Maastricht Treaty was signed by twelve countries: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom..

The treaty is one of the most important in the founding of the European Union, and consists of three pillars: the European Communities; a common foreign and security policy; and cooperation between EU governments in the field of justice and home affairs.

In addition, an Economic and Monetary Union paragraph was included in the treaty, which led to the introduction of the single euro currency in 2002..
