Under the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, a single currency called the "euro" was adopted, and economic criteria for membership in the European Monetary Union were established.

Around the European Union, the implication by large sections of society is that there is something intrinsically different about Islam that makes it difficult to integrate Muslims into European societies. Some of these sections of society are non-Muslim, and are reluctant to allow such integration to take place; others are Muslim. These sentiments raise a number of issues relating to plural identities and their compatibility with modern day Europe and Islam, with such issues finding variable expressions in member-states. The British example represents an illustrative case study, having a long history of interaction with Muslims and being the home of a large Muslim population.

Security-identity dynamics in Europe generate the need for the European Union as a political personality made up of cultural units that are sovereign within their territories. Though the Union does absorb some of the traditional duties of nation states, it does not take on the semblance of a sovereign entity nor does it diminish the sovereignty of states involved in the Union. Therefore, the Union is a post-sovereign entity with its own logic based on the security-identity-integration dynamic but the states within it are still sovereign entities.
