The European Union (EU) (English pronunciation:Listeni/ˌjʊərəˈpiːən ˈjuːnjən is an economic and political entity and confederation of 27 member states which are located primarily in Europe.The EU traces its origins from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC)and the European Economic Community (EEC), formed by six countries in 1951 and 1958 respectively.In the intervening years the EU has grown in size by the accession of new member states and in power by the addition of policy areas to its remit. The Maastricht Treaty established the European Union under its current name in 1993.[14] The latest amendment to the constitutional basis of the EU, the Treaty of Lisbon, came into force in 2009.The EU operates through a system of supranational independent institutions and inter governmental negotiated decisions by the member states. Important institutions of the EU include the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Central Bank. The European Parliament is elected every five years by EU citizens.

The EU has developed a single market through a standardized system of laws which apply in all member states.Within the Schengen Area (which includes 22 EU and 4 non-EU states) passport controls have been abolished. EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital,enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintain common policies on trade,agriculture, fisheries and regional development.A monetary union, the eurozone, was established in 1999 and is composed of 17 member states.Through the Common Foreign and Security Policy the EU has developed a limited role in external relations and defence.Permanent diplomatic missions have been established around the world. The EU is represented at the United Nations,the WTO, the G8 and the G-20.With a combined population of over 500 million inhabitants or 7.3% of the world population,the EU, in 2011, generated a nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of 17.6 trillion US dollars,representing approximately 20% of the global GDP when measured in terms of purchasing power parity.

From 23-24 April 2007 the Europe Division took another step towards supporting new goals and challenges taken by the European Union Member States participating in the TC Programme by organizing the EU Member States Common Strategy Coordination Workshop.The purpose of the workshop was to exchange experiences, views and redefine the European Union Member States roles within the TC Programme, vis-à-vis the EU enlargement policy, identify new goals and cooperation areas with the European Commission for the TC Programme in Europe as well as to define a common strategy (to be included in the TC Europe Strategy) and identify mechanisms for its implementation.

High level officials from 14 European Union Member States: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as well as the officials from the 3 candidate countries: the FYR Macedonia, Croatia and Turkey participated in the meeting.

The initiative taken by TCEU to organize this kind of meeting was appreciated by the European Commission which sent Mr. Pierre Chuilon, Head of Sector, Unit for Nuclear Safety, as their representative. Mr. Chuilon contributed to the successful outcome of the meeting.The main conclusions of the meeting are contained in the attached minutes.Based on the results of this meeting, TC Europe in cooperation with Member States is now in the process of preparing a regional profile in order to define a framework for regional cooperation among Member States and IAEA. The regional profile will contain identified priority needs and available resources in the region, as well as the approaches to shared problems, which are being resolved with the contribution of nuclear techniques for the benefit of the population.

As a first step, taking into account the unique characteristics of the Europe Division (14 MS are EU Members, and 3 are current Candidate Countries), we aim to analyze and define the evolving role of the EU Member States (and Candidate Countries) vis-à-vis their participation in the TC Programme and to:

– Define a common policy for EU Member States’ participation in TC Programme;

– Formulate a strategy on how to promote horizontal technical cooperation in the Europe region under the IAEA TCP and

– Identify mechanisms to implement the strategy above.

In addition, we seek to identify opportunities to increase our cooperation with the EU Commission and relevant EU projects in order to allow for synergies in project management and optimization of financial resources.
