Tips
- Look for keywords like cooperation of European states, EU, treaties (e.g., Maastricht, Lisbon), common institutions.
- Eliminate options that talk about immigration or emigration flows; integration here is about states integrating, not people migrating.
- Prefer answers mentioning alliances, common policies, or institutional union among European countries.
- Watch for distractors referencing the USA or migration restrictions—these are unrelated to the EU integration process.
