Au cours de son histoire relativement brève, l'Union européenne a vu accroître sa taille grâce à l'entrée de nouveaux membres et son champ d'action grâce à l'extension de ses responsabilités politiques. Aujourd'hui, ses principaux objectifs sont de «...promouvoir [le] progrès économique et social, [...] affirmer son identité sur la scène internationale, [instaurer] une citoyenneté de l'Union, [...] développer une coopération étroite dans le domaine de la justice et des affaires intérieures ...», comme le stipule le Traité sur l'Union européenne. Pour les prochaines années, l'Union a trois priorités stratégiques : introduire la monnaie unique, accueillir de nouveaux membres et définir un nouveau mode de fonctionnement et de décision dans le cadre de la Conférence intergouvernementale. 6, record 1, French, - Union%20europ%C3%A9enne

En el curso de su historia relativamente reciente, la Unión Europea ha visto aumentar su tamaño con la entrada de nuevos miembros así como sus competencias con la implicación de sus responsabilidades políticas. Hoy en día, sus principales objetivos consisten en “… promover un progreso económico y social equilibrado y sostenible, … afirmar su identidad en el ámbito internacional, … crear una ciudadanía de la Unión, desarrollar una cooperación estrecha en el ámbito de la justicia y de los asuntos de interior …” tal y como estipula el Tratado de la Unión Europea. Para los próximos años, la Unión Europea tiene en su agenda tres prioridades fundamentales: introducir la moneda única, preparar la adhesión de nuevos estados y definir un nuevo modelo de funcionamiento y de toma de decisiones en el marco de la “Conferencia Intergubernamental”. 5, record 1, Spanish, - Uni%C3%B3n%20Europea
