The EU provides funding to help poorer regions within Europe develop infrastructure like roads and railways, and helps neighboring countries improve areas like education, healthcare, and social services. Key EU institutions include the European Parliament, which represents all EU citizens, and the European Court of Justice.

not all about great
achievements of which we
can be proud.

European nations have
fought terrible wars against
each other.

spread and involved
countries all over the world.
