EC Treaty
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
Strictly speaking, there is no specific document
called the
`EC Treaty'. The term generally
refers to the original TreatyOfRome, which
established the EEC, as variously ammendmented
over the years by later treaties. The TreatyOfMaastricht
renamed the EuropeanCommunities (by this time largely
dominated by the EEC) to the `European Community', and re-issued
the ammended (and renumbered) Treaty of Rome as the `Treaty Establishing the
European Communities'. It is this that is generally contracted
to `EC Treaty' (see EUTerminology for a discussion of
the terminological problems relating to EU treaties).
The EC Treaty and the TreatyOfMaastricht were renumbered
by the TreatyOfAmsterdam. In most textbooks, both old and
new treaty numbers are given. On these pages, I only use the new numbers,
except where stated to the contrary.
