Maastricht at 30

On 7 February 1992, twelve states signed the Maastricht Treaty,
the foundation treaty of the European Union. As the treaty enters
its 30s, what has it achieved? And where do we go from here?
Bruegel’s Maria Demertzis talks to Amy Verdun, Professor at the
University of Victoria and visiting Professor at Leiden
University, and Mathieu Segers, Professor in Contemporary
European History at Maastricht University and Europe Chair at
Studio Europa Maastricht, starting with their own personal
recollection of 1992.



This episode is recorded in collaboration with Studio Europa
Maastricht. Studio Europa Maastricht is a centre of expertise for
Europe-related debate and research founded in 2018 and supported
by the partners of the Maastricht, Working on Europe programme:
Maastricht University, the Province of Limburg and the City of
Maastricht. Together we aim to position Maastricht, the capital
of Limburg, as a meeting place for citizen dialogue and debate
and establish a centre of excellence for research on Europe and
European integration.



Conversation on 30 years EMU will continue on 26 & 27
September – more information can be found here:
