... Is the European Union a State? The European Union in 2001 has evolved in to a hybrid organisation of inter-governmental and supranational characteristics. It will be shown in this essay that at this present time that the EU is a much more of an inter-governmental agency that derives its power from its nation states and any characteristics of a state are superficial. How long it may stay this way will depend on enlargement and future treaties. In this essay we shall examine how far the EU has assumed the characteristics of a state. We shall first define what characterises a state. Once this has been done the definitions will be applied to the present functions of each of the institutions of the EU, which will show that while the EU has began to assume a number of characteristics of a state they, are overshadowed by the control exerted by national governments
