Term Definition
European Economic Community

The European Economic Community (EEC) was an international organisation created by the Treaty of Rome of 1957.[1] Its aim was to bring about economic integration, including a common market, among its six founding members: Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany. The EEC was also known as the Common Market in the English-speaking world and sometimes referred to as the European Community even before it was officially renamed as such in 1993.
