Maastricht Treaty
Maastricht Treaty (February 7, 1992) Agreement on
European Union (EU) signed by the leaders of 12 European nations at
Maastricht,
se Netherlands. The treaty included a timetable for the introduction of a single currency (the
euro); a Common Foreign and Security Policy
(CFSP), with the
Western European Union (WEU) as a possible defence arm of the EU; a common European citizenship for nationals of all member states, and the extension of European cooperation in justice and home affairs. The treaty introduced the principle of subsidiarity, whereby decisions are taken at the most appropriate level: local, regional or national. It extended qualified majority voting in the
European Council of Ministers and increased the powers of the
European Parliament (EP) over the budget and the
European Commission. Eleven states adopted a separate protocol on social policy (the social chapter), with the UK opting-out. The UK signed up to the social chapter in the Amsterdam Treaty (1997).
