The European Union is our home, our heritage. It affects our everyday life. Let's begin by discussing money. A lot of the countries have adopted the euro as their currency, but not all. Due to it being a powerful global currency, it is accepted across the EU and in most parts of the world. Nowadays, people are used to the ease and simplicity of travelling in the EU, thanks to the Schengen zone, but things weren't always this easy. Before the Schengen zone, it was harder to acquire visas to travel. You can be sure that you won't eat genetically modified food in the EU. It's due to food manufacturers being forced to label their products. EU is also a very safe place to be. The police forces here are remarkably good at what they do. Flying has become much cheaper over the years, hence the fully booked frequent flights in the EU.
