Maastricht

The Treaty on European Union, commonly known as the Maastricht Treaty, is the foundation treaty of the European Union.

Concluded in 1992 between the then-twelve member states of the European Communities, it announced “a new stage in the process of European integration” chiefly in provisions for a shared European citizenship, for the eventual introduction of a single currency.

It took effect on this day in 1993.
