Luxembourg has long been a prominent supporter of European political and economic integration. In efforts foreshadowing European integration, Luxembourg and Belgium in 1921 formed the [Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union]
? (BLEU) to create an inter-exchangeable currency and a common customs regime. Luxembourg is a member of the [Benelux Economic Union]
? and was one of the founding members of the
European Economic Community (now the
European Union). It also participates in the [Schengen Group]
?, whose goal is the free movement of citizens among member states. At the same time, Luxembourgers have consistently recognized that European unity makes sense only in the context of a dynamic, transatlantic relationship and have traditionally pursued a pro-
NATO, pro-U.S. foreign policy.
Luxembourg is the site of the [European Court of Justice]?, the [European Court of Auditors]?, and other vital EU organs. The Secretariat of the European Parliament is located in Luxembourg, but the Parliament usually meets in nearby Strasbourg.
