From the Paper:
"What began as a method to unify industries, specifically coal and steel, between France and a few western European countries in 1951, has today grown into a 25-country conglomerate. However in its humble beginning it was comprised of only 6 members and those countries were: Belgium, West Germany, Luxembourg, France, Italy and the Netherlands. At the time the only concern was to improve their industries especially in the years following World War II ("History of the E.U."). Today the E.U. is comprised of several countries, 25 in total. They are listed below: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom (Scott 71).
