What did the Maastricht Treaty try to accomplish?

What will be an ideal response?


The 1991 Maastricht Treaty mapped out the road to economic and monetary union within the European Union to be finalized by 1999 . The Treaty called for eliminating all remaining restrictions on the movement of capital and payments between member states and between member states and third countries; the creation of a European central bank, and the introduction of a new currency, the euro, in 1999 . The monetary union was indeed established (but not all EU countries participate).
