It covers a territory of 4,493,712 km24, has a population of over 507 million and is the world's leading economic power.
The European Union has been governed by the Treaty of Maastricht and the Treaty of Rome, in their current versions, since 1 December 2009 and the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon.

The Court of Justice is responsible for ensuring the application of EU law.
