Pravila EU vas kot potrošnika ščitijo pred proizvodi, ki imajo napako ali ne izpolnjujejo standardov, ne glede na to, ali jih kupite doma ali v drugi državi.

Unija se zlasti zavzema za pomoč sosednjim državam, in sicer državam nekdanje Sovjetske zveze in državam sredozemske regije, pri doseganju večje stabilnosti in blaginje.
Since EU citizens are free to live in any member country, they must have equal access to justice everywhere in the EU.
Državljani EU lahko živijo v kateri koli državi članici, zato morajo imeti tudi enak dostop do pravnega varstva po vsej EU.
Member governments have to ensure that they all apply EU laws in the same way, and that court rulings in one country can be enforced in another.
Vlade držav članic morajo zagotoviti, da vse enotno uporabljajo zakonodajo EU in da se sodne odločbe iz ene države lahko izvršijo v drugi državi članici.

EU members and when they joined:
Članice EU in leto njihovega pristopa:
The European Union has contributed to our prosperity over the years by creating a single market and single currency, and by removing other obstacles to trade and mobility.
Evropska unija je v preteklih letih prispevala k naši blaginji z ustvarjanjem enotnega trga in enotne valute ter z odstranjevanjem drugih ovir za trgovino in mobilnost.
Growth and jobs remain a priority for EU leaders.
Rast in delovna mesta so še vedno med prednostnimi nalogami voditeljev EU.
As pollution knows no borders, EU member states have taken joint action in many areas.
Onesnaževanje ne pozna meja, zato so države članice EU sprejele skupne ukrepe na več območjih.
It is not surprising then that Europe’s rivers and beaches are cleaner, vehicles pollute less, and there are strict rules for waste disposal.
Zato ni presenetljivo, da so evropske reke in plaže čistejše, po naših cestah vozijo okolju prijaznejša vozila in za odstranjevanje odpadkov veljajo strogi predpisi.
Dangerous waste from Europe can no longer be dumped in poor countries.
Nevarnih odpadkov iz Evrope ni več mogoče izvažati v revne države.

The EU wants key activities like transport, industry, agriculture and tourism to be organised in such a way that they can be developed without destroying our natural resources — in short ‘sustainable development’.
EU si prizadeva organizirati ključne dejavnosti, kot so promet, industrija, kmetijstvo in turizem, tako, da se lahko razvijajo brez uničevanja naših naravnih virov, skratka, prizadeva si za „trajnostni razvoj“.
Devising a long-term energy strategy is a particular priority.
Prednostna naloga je zlasti oblikovanje dolgoročne energetske strategije.
Oil and gas reserves in EU countries are diminishing, so the EU becomes more dependent on outside suppliers.
Rezerve nafte in plina v državah EU se zmanjšujejo, zato EU postaja vse bolj odvisna od zunanjih dobaviteljev.
One third of the EU’s €115-billion-a-year budget is spent on attracting investment and creating jobs in disadvantaged regions, and training unemployed or under-qualified workers.
V današnjem tekmovalnem svetu Evropa potrebuje nova delovna mesta in usposobljeno delovno silo. Nova delovna mesta se odpirajo zaradi raziskav in razvoja.Voditelji EU načrtujejo, da bodo med leti 2001 in 2010 vlaganja v raziskave povečali za več kot 50 %.
Margot Wallström, Vice-President of the European Commission dealing with communication and institutional matters:
Margot Wallström, podpredsednica Evropske komisije, odgovorna za področje komunikacij in institucionalnih vprašanj:
Our society is fairer and more efficient when we do not discriminate against fellow human beings because of their nationality, gender, handicap, race or other factors.
Naša družba je pravičnejša in učinkovitejša, če med soljudmi ne delamo razlik zaradi narodnosti, spola, invalidnosti, rase ali drugih dejavnikov.
That is why EU law bans discrimination.
Zato zakoni EU prepovedujejo diskriminacijo.
Now we have to strengthen contacts between people.’
Zdaj moramo okrepiti še stike med njimi.“

As long ago as the 1950s, the first EU treaties contained a clear-cut rule that men and women must have equal pay for equal work. This has given the EU a pioneering role in the fight for women’s rights, which are now an integral part of all EU policies.
Že v petdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja so prve pogodbe EU vsebovale jasno pravilo, da morajo biti moški in ženske za enako delo enako plačani.Tako je imela EU pionirsko vlogo pri boju za ženske pravice, ki so danes sestavni del vseh politik EU.
Thanks to EU support, people in countries like Ireland and Spain are much better off than they were 25 years ago.
Zaradi podpore EU je življenje ljudi v državah, kot sta Irska in Španija, bistveno boljše kot pred 25 leti.
Now growth is highest in the new member countries in the eastern part of the EU.
Zdaj je stopnja rasti najvišja v novih državah članicah v vzhodnem delu EU.
