Passage 2 WTO Helps to Keep World Peace
Notes 4. The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of twenty-seven member states, located primarily in Europe. It was established by the Treaty of Maastricht in 1993 upon the foundations of the pre-existing European Economic Community. With almost 500million citizens, the EU combined generates an estimated 30% share of the world’s nominal gross domestic product (US $16.8 trillion in 2007). The EU has developed a single market through a standardised system of laws which apply in all member states, guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital. It maintains a common trade policy, agricultural and fisheries policies, and a regional development policy. Fifteen member states have adopted a common currency, the euro. It has developed a role in foreign policy, representing its members in the World Trade Organisation, at G8 summits and at the United Nations. Twenty-one EU countries are members of NATO. It has developed a role in justice and home affairs, including the abolition of passport control between many member states under the Schengen Agreement.欧盟 5. 译文：从长远来看，一个国家的保护主义措施向前每跨进一步，都将会招致 别国的报复，导致世人对自由贸易少一分信任，并使自己整个地陷入经济困境， 其中包括那些起初得到保护的部门都会蒙受损失。
