    Forty years ago, a historic document was signed in Rome that was to change the economic outlook and the future of many countries in Europe. That document was the Treaty of Rome, and this year, on March 25, 1997, the European Union celebrated the 40th anniversary of its signing. A revised draft Treaty on European Union (the Maastricht Treaty) was presented in Rome on that date. (41)______.
    (42)______. The Treaty set out the three pillars of the European Union—Pillar 1: the three European communities which form its basis; Pillar 2: the development of a common foreign and security policy; and Pillar 3: cooperation in the areas of justice and home affairs, including immigration and asylum(收容所), drug trafficking(交易) and international crime.
    (43)______. EMU means a single monetary policy operating within a single economic market and is therefore the logical complement to the Single Market in Europe today.
    The EMU will be run by a European Central Bank independent of both national governments and European Union institutions.
    (44)______. The euro will enter into circulation in January 1999 in those Member States which meet the criteria for entry to the EMU, and by mid 2002 the changeover from national currencies to the euro in those countries will be complete. The introduction of the euro will be the most visible measure of integration to date in the daily lives of citizens of the European Union.
    The rights of European citizens were further extended by the Maastricht Treaty, so that today citizens of the Member States may travel, reside, work and carry out transactions in any country of the EU without hindrance(障碍) and with full protection of the law. The European Union’s fields of responsibility Wire extended to include areas such as consumer protection, public health policy, environmental protection, education and culture and the creation of major transport, communications and energy.
    (45)______. The first union of six Member States has been enlarged to its present number of fifteen. Added to the original six are Denmark, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sweden and Finland, the last three countries being admitted to the European Union in 1995. The next century will see the inclusion in the Union of a number of countries, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe. Today the European Union is one of the world’s greatest single trading powers. Its present population of 370 million has many freedoms and choices, both as citizens and as consumers. Its companies have entered new markets and formed new partnerships to exploit economic opportunities at home and abroad. As the century draws to a close, the vision of a united Europe, made manifest by the Treaty of Rome, is closer to realization than ever before.

A. In November 1993, the Treaty on European Union (also known as the Maastricht Treaty alter the Dutch town where EU leaders met) came into force, creating the European Union and paving the way for greater integration between Member States.
B. A major aspect of EMU is the single currency, known as the euro.
C. Since the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, Europe has witnessed a remarkable growth in its vitality, homogeneity and strength as a democracy.
D. As the century comes to an end, a united and enlarged Europe, under the guide of Treaty of Rome, is sure to be realized very soon.
E. The revised Treaty is a continuation of the process towards integration of the countries of Europe that began in 1957.
F. The revised treaty is a formal agreement between two or more states, as regards peace and trade.
G. The Treaty also set out the economic criteria Member States must meet to complete Europe’s economic and monetary union (EMU), the ultimate goal of economic partnership envisaged by the architects of the Treaty of Rome.
