EUROSCOLA PRESENTATION OF PROJECT
Students in 4th ESO High School called Serra Mariola in (Muro) Alicante have undertaken a research and a development of a project commemorating the 30 years of Spain in the European Union.
The Guidelines we have carried out are the following:
In particular, our group (PROYECTAMOS) formed by 10 students, are going to develop 10 things that we consider that they are of big relevance.
INTRODUCTION
Treaty of Rome:
This treaty was signed in 1957 by the following countries: Germany, France, Italy, Belgium and Luxembourg;
With this Treaty the main objective is to unify the European Economic Community (EEC) and the political union that depended only on a unique internal market.
The EEC was created to make specific policies:
- The free circulation of the goods, free movement of persons, capitals and services.
- To promote the liberty of competition and develope common laws that will govern all the member countries.
- Before the creation of the EEC, the European countries had their own laws and this situation made them to have more difficulty in trading the goods and also prevented the investigation and implementation of important projects.
- The creation of the EEC allowed the existence of economies of great importance: such as manufacturing, researching and innovation.
- 1992 with the Treaty of the EU, The Free movement without internal borders between EU states started to become a reality.
- This treaty signed in Maastricht, divided citizen participation in elections in the European parliament and created new rights and solidarity policies between countries and raised new political rights and common defense.
- On 1st January 1999, the euro became the currency of 11 countries (EMU) (UEM) however, its circulation was not carried out effectively until 2002.
With the new incorporation of the EMU of Greece, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Slovakia and Estonia.
- The most important objectives of the EU:
1-PEACE 3-Law State.
2-Democracy 4- Respect for human rights.
- EU is a major world trading power. EU economic policy seeks to sustain growth by investing in transport, energy and research.
- Spain was joined quite years after because it had dictatorial regime and It did not meet the requirements to come in to the EU at that time.
In February 1979 with Spain in democracy, they opened negotiations to become part of the EEC. It took seven years since Spain had to adapt the economy to the EEC and this process was quite costly.
With the entry of Spain in the European Commission 1986, it came to represent 329 million of inhabitants.
With the entry of Spain in the European Commission 1986, it came to represent 329 million of inhabitants.
- This blog will consist of a number of aspects in which, Spain, made some efforts to join the European Union and some interviews were drawn to gather information about what people think. In various sections, this information will be collected and synthesized for a better understanding of the visitors to this blog.
GENERAL ASPECT
Since Spain was introduced in the EU there have been various changes that we will try to collect in this our blog. For this activity we have divided these changes in some different ways: "Social Aspect, philosophical aspect, economical aspect, Reflection of the Valenciano (own language), scientifical aspect, political aspect, Educational Appearance and Sport Appearance" .All we know that Spain began to take part of the EU on 1986 and there have been changes.
SOCIAL ASPECT
The Aspiration of Spain by joining to the huge European community was due to the arrival of the democracy and the President of the government Adolfo Suarez who requested the entry of Spain on July 26, 1977 officially to the EEC momentum, but nowadays it is called European Union.
Spain took part of the EU eight years later, on June 12, 1985 with the signing of the Adhesion Treaty in Madrid and the integration of the Economic Community on 1st January 1986.
SPAIN PRIOR TO ENTRY INTO THE EUROPEAN UNION
Obviously, Spain, before entering the great European Community which in those days they did not know, did not have the wonderful structural funds from the EuropeanUnion that made Spain a larger country economically.
Spain also hadn't built its national currency (peseta) the Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System and in those days had no significant advances that could increase the welfare of the Spanish society of that time.

Spain also hadn't built its national currency (peseta) the Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System and in those days had no significant advances that could increase the welfare of the Spanish society of that time.
SPAIN AFTER INTRODUCTION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
Three and a half years after their union in June 1989 Spain entered its national currency (peseta) the Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System, established by France, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and Luxembourg since 1979. Spain reinforced its commitment to integration signing in June 1991, the Schengen Agreement with the concept of a "Europe without borders" which made several European countries supress controls at internal borders and moved to the external borders.
The sign of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 gave the European Union its current name, like design towards a common currency. That same year, during the Edinburgh Summit, the Member States appointed instituted the Cohesion Fund for environmental projects, transport and energy infrastructure in countries with income levels below 90% of the EU average. As a result, Spain obtained, along with the rest of the received structural funds, invaluable support for the revitalization and regional development.
In December 1995 it was agreed the name "euro" for the common European currency in Madrid is across Europe, its implementation took place successfully from January 2002. This made Spain a participant as a founding member of the new currency European which had led to the realization of a unifying project as EMU aims at economic integration of all Member States.
Spain has developed an active role at building the European project getting involved in negotiation treaties of Amsterdam (1997), Nice (2001), the failed Constitutional (2004) and Lisbon (2009) Treaty. It has also contributed to policy development with sustained contributions in areas such as citizenship, cohesion policy, cultural and linguistic diversity, judicial cooperation and the fight against terrorism.
The European Union is the natural framework for political and economic development of our country, and that is why right now Spain assumes its responsibilities promoting a more democratic, closer to citizens, able to respond to challenges more effectively Union and needs of the new century.
CURRENT OF SPAIN IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
CURRENT OF SPAIN IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
The 1st Question: Do you think the currency exchange has been a positive or negative development for the Spanish economy?
This is the graphic that we extracted from the results of public opinion conducted interviews people on foot. When it comes to the question, it is visible on the graph that most people believe that it has been a negative change for the Spanish economy, and in our opinion it is true because the currency exchange of the peseta to the euro represented an increment of interest and real estate prices, factor contributing to the adaptation of the economy and causing a significant expenditure, what means a negative change.
The 2nd Question: Do you think that Spain was ready to join the European Union?
It is observable in this chart, which according to public opinion, Spain was not ready to join the EU. In our opinion it is true because from the social point of view, the ideals that united the Spanish company were not comparable with other European ideals
The 3rd Question: Do you think there has been any significant change from the general point of view?
In this graph, the result is very different from the questions above, and analyzing society, this is divided into two parts: the first part who thinks that there have been changes and the second part that thinks not. It is visible that the most of the society thinks there have been changes. From our point of view, it is true, because the situations between before and after the introduction of Spain in the EU are different.

It is visible that the most of the society thinks there have been changes. From our point of view, it is true, because the situations between before and after the introduction of Spain in the EU are different.
Another of our media was a form we did and spread. Here we can see the results and questions:
¿Cuál es tu edad?
¿Cuál es tu sexo?
¿Crees que desde la introducción de España en la Unión Europea; España ha mejorado?
¿Crees que la moneda del Euro ha echo que la economia de España haya mejorado ?
¿Cuál es tu sexo?
¿Crees que desde la introducción de España en la Unión Europea; España ha mejorado?
¿Crees que la moneda del Euro ha echo que la economia de España haya mejorado ?
In conclusion, we can see that the prevailing opinion is addressed to the situation in Spain is good but could be improved and in reference to the currency has not been a positive change for the high value of the currency (Euro) as we see in the previous graphs.
PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECT
To begin this aspect we will be based on one of the interview questions that we made to our Economy Counselor Rafael Climent, and we will try to analyze our society’s way of thinking from its response.
The question was:
Do you think that Spanish people are mentally more open after the introduction of Spain in the EU?
To this question, he answered that in recent years the society has been characterized by an individualistic radicalism, that is, people close themselves. He also said that the individualist radicalism means non-attention of the group and what should be sought is cooperation (he gave the example of the educational area, ie at school we should learn to collaborate among all) and eliminate competitiveness in all areas. From our point of view, we totally agree with the opinion of Rafael Climent, because if we look at the society we realize that society tends to equate individuals with a series of ideals imposed by time, but that does not mean that individuals of this society cooperate with each other, on the contrary, they tend to attack each other. In conclusion, answering the question, the social thinking has changed since 1980, however the current ideals of society are not going on the right direction. Just changing these ideologies by more ethical ones we will be able to evolve as a society.
ECONOMIC ASPECT
-To Introduce this point we decided to start from the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC) By filling the Treaty of Rome 1957 this institution was established with the aim of forming a common market, eliminating internal tariffs, a common external tariff and the free movement of production factors.
ECONOMIC ASPECT
-To Introduce this point we decided to start from the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC) By filling the Treaty of Rome 1957 this institution was established with the aim of forming a common market, eliminating internal tariffs, a common external tariff and the free movement of production factors.
At first, the EEC was called the Europe of the Six (France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg (founders of the EEC states)) which, advanced with a favorable wind for a decade, thanks to the international economic conjuncture: it had 164 million people, 17.5% of the labor force was engaged in agriculture, 42% to industrial and 39.5% to tertiary, foreign trade accounted for 20% worldwide. It should be noted that the main achievements of this period were: formation of a common market, development of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the incorporation of new members into the EEC.
In reference to the Spanish economy related to the economy of the EEC:
The integration of Spain in the EEC began in 1962 when income was requested, this request was rejected until the 1970 preferential agreement favorable to industrial exports was achieved and not that farm. This agreement allowed a trade surplus in 1980.
1977 was again requested the inclusion, putting up a quick negotiation process (1983-1985). It adhering ended 1986 after the signing of the Single European Act (1985) adopted shortly before the economic and monetary union. After admission the economic effects were immediate: an increase in annual GDP in the first 5 years, 4 million jobs were created, inflation moderated, improved public deficit and investment increased, these factors joined the great interest of European companies to enter the Spanish market. The greatest impact of integration was foreign trade, imports from EU countries rose well above exports generating a large external deficit. Also caused a great effect linking the peseta to the European Monetary System (EMS) with a fixed exchange rate and high interest rates attracted foreign savings, to cause an appreciation of the peseta the development of the Spanish economy during 90s.
creation of the Court of Protection of Competition, release the service sector and capital movements, exchange control suspension, removal of intervention coefficients investment banking, release: -after the integration program was initiated institutional reforms labor market, privatization of public sector etc. This coincided with the process of concentration of banking.
In this section we include the interview with Rafael Climent, Minister of Sustainable Economy, Productive sectors, Trade and Employment of the Generalitat Valenciana, besides being a philologist and having worked as a professor of Spanish, Latin and Greek and as we reported He has since 1995 devoted to politics.
First, we defined the different changes that had occurred in the economy from its point of view:
We reported that the economy had grown from a local economy to a global economy, it was mentioned that the introduction of the EU Spain has its pros and cons. We put an example of each:
As a pro, donating funds and structural competitiveness as against the members of the societies of the countries.
To show these change show us a practical example, the town of Alcoy, which had been mayor Rafael Climent (1999-2015). In the case of this locality changes it was clear when moving to a productive economy thanks to the urbanite industry. Inside the town hall there were also changes such as the transformation of the population (increased: 1999. 7500 habitants 2015.9200 habitants), and had to accelerate basic services that are covered with wall which citizens live to taste have their needs.
Having said this, he informed us that in Muro EU had not contributed in any project directly and that there were only grants the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces that the Government had co-financed with the European Union.
You have influenced the incorporation of Spain in the EU with the current economic crisis?
This question he replied that it was not a cause, but it was the effect of attitudes that have had leaders (thought they could do what they wanted, they believed they could use all available resources because they thought they were infinite, when resources are finished).
To understand this analogy, we put another practical example:
In a village they build a multifunctional building, it is relatively easy, money is obtained, is funded in installments and content is obtained, also of funding we will keep taking into account the resources of the people building. In conclusion, the development of a people must be sustainable, otherwise a crisis will occur. For this sustainability should consider the following:
sustainable economy (share capital), social responsibility (each company has its own customer), the world does not end with us (think about the next generations).
He also spoke about the economic crisis in the talk that was held in the IES Serra Mariola by Dr. Salvador Forner professor of contemporary history at the University of Alicante and expert on the EU economy. He spoke of the phenomenon which he called "binge" and which shows the following graph:
- With respect to the chart, we can see the Spanish deficit to GDP. According to Dr. Forner, is visible a time constant (relatively) to which expenses, Dr. established relationship calling this era of overspending "binge" and thanks to this the economic crisis we can see in the chart since 2008 production and which, Dr. Forner called "hangover" and that after a time of overspending from the point of view of the economy a decline and a crisis occurs. This is the factor which has produced the current economic crisis.
Another of the questions that we answered was, if Spain was ready to enter EU which told us not to coincide with public opinion because of the ups and downs in management. If you have answered yes, it would have been based on the search for a global world, ie, based on collaboration thing that the leaders had acted correctly, that is, doing good structural investments (investment responsibility)
Being in Europe a behaved radical crisis is the common currency, that is, the common currency which has led cuts in services such as education, health ... (in Spain), which have led to mismanagement and that because the currency, should not depend on other countries thus avoiding these management problems.
Finally, we put in question whether the introduction of Spain in the EU had assumed positive or negative changes.
Rafael Climent's response was that he could not clearly answer why had behaved positive and negative changes.
We contacted the comparison from the analysis of reality 1980 and the current reality.
1980 in Spain there was a general welfare of the population, still, one out of three Spaniards were risk of poverty, where as now, there is a precarious employment because young people migrate and there is a 44% youth unemployment and the Valencia 200 thousand people over 45 are long-term unemployed; In conclusion, the situation is relatively positive with respect to 1980 that is, to know whether positive or negative economic situation of the society have to grope between positive and negative aspects to define the boundaries in relation to sustainability.
VALENCIAN REFLEXION (OWN LANGUAGE)In this aspect we will speak about our language, Valencian, which is spoken in the Valencian Community. We can say that the entry into the European Union has been a positive development. As our teacher of Catalan literature, Rafael Gisbert. The reason for the inclusion in the European Union has been a positive change. This changes are providing grants, creating projects and foundations, it’s still not enough. We can only change this if we work together without distinction of language and culture to achieve a state of equality. We can say that there is some discrimination in this language by the official language of the country that has opened a linguistic conflict `between Valencian and Spanish. In addition Valencians we practice the self-hatred, because the same people of Valencia doesn’t speak the language for fear that if he moved to another part of Spain was not carried out proper communication, for this reason it is said that the Valencian isn’t useful and also because they are the same political figures of the Community promoting these ideals of inequality. As a result of this factor, we can say that situation of the Valencian respect to the other languages of the country.
Moreover, the council of the Valencian Community has denounced and made several complaints to the Spanish state, and as a consequence, the European Union is doing a lot for minority languages unlike the State doesn’t improve the legal status of Valencia. There have also been other complaints to the speech of the state security services working in C.V. by requiring Valencians to communicate with them in Spanish, reason us Valencians encourages us to denounce these situations because they are violating the rights we have Valencians to communicate in Valencia. These examples of discrimination are fully reflected in the documentary TV3 directed by David Valls in which a young German, who speaks only Valencian begins to travel through Catalonia and Valencia, and will promote equality between Catalan-speaking and the Valencian speaking, their legal situations, and where inequality between the Spanish and Valencian. The European Union already makes it possible to help these minority languages and major changes are taking place thanks to the proportion of grants, creating projects and foundations, but it's still not enough. We can only change this if we work together without distinction of language or culture to achieve a state of equality between languages.

We can only change this if we work together without distinction of language or culture to achieve a state of equality between languages.
SCIENTIFIC ASPECT
Respect the scientific field in 2000, the European Union began developing the European Research Area.
The ERA is a investigation area open to the internal market based world in which researchers, scientific knowledge and technology circulate freely. Through ERA, the Union and its Member States to strengthen scientific and technological bases, their competitiveness and their ability to collectively address major challenges. The ERA should inspire the best talents to develop their research career in Europe, encourage industry to invest more in European research and thus contribute to the destine of spending 3% of GDP to research by promoting decisively sustainable growth and the creation of jobs.
The most important project that has been done in science is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN acronym, is the largest research laboratory in particle physics in the world, Spain is the fifth largest contributor in this project behind Germany, UK and Italy. Currently there are more than 500 scientists, engineers and technicians working at CERN.
It is located in Switzerland near the border with France, between the commune of Saint-Genis-Pouilly and the commune of Meyrin in Geneva.
We can also highlight in this area that is organizing a project that tries to reconstruct the brain, is collecting all the information we have of how it works, with the aim of building a computer that will play the functioning of the brain. In this project there are 7 Spanish partners.
In addition to this project, it has joined the research and exploitation of mineral called graphene and that according to respected scientists and research centers, has been the basis of current technology industry since graphene has meant the base material of the composition mobile devices so the price of graphene is very high and is also called "gold" of the new information and communications technology (ICT).
For more information on this area we interviewed Professor Lourdes Vallés, she told us that in '77 when we requested to join the European Union were not prepared, but since it was requested until we signed the treaty passed 8 years, where we prepare ( relatively).
In Spain there was almost no research, universities were based practically on the teaching part, and currently there are more research universities, because they spend 40% of their time to research, we have to come a long way.
In conclusion to this interview and in science, our accession to the European Union has been a positive thing, as it has reinforced the weaknesses that had research in Spain and now the big projects are funded among all nations.POLITICAL ASPECT
Spain joined the EEC on June 12, 1985 act which comes into force 1 January 1986. Upon entering Spain in the EEC, was the 5th most populous country in the community, it won eight votes in the European Council .
As it was an increase of its members in other European institutions like the European Commission, Parliament, the Court of Justice, the Economic and Social Committee and the European Investment Bank, to which Spain were represented in each thereof.
When entering Spain in the EEC on January first 1986, participates actively in European integration, the objectives were advancing towards economic and monetary integration requires greater political cooperation among member states was needed.
With the Single European Act, signed in 1987, the purpose of creating an internal market without borders and extend the powers of the community.
The most significant event in the process of economic and political integration of Europe comes with the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, with the creation of the Economic and Monetary Union with a common currency and a central bank is designed. cooperation is also designed in foreign policy and common security.
On January first, 1993, comes true internal market, with free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, which are the 4 pillars of the single market, with them has achieved a considerable increase in trade and consumption among EU countries.
Another important treaties, the Treaty of Schengen, 1995 on deletions of internal borders between some EU countries.
The Amsterdam Treaty of 1999, expands the rights of European citizenship and cooperation in employment.
On January first, 1999, Spain adopted the common European currency after having obtained the required economic stability framework. The entry into force of the euro on January first, 2002, was a historic landmark, unprecedented moves towards a more united Europe.
In 2004, the Treaty of Rome which was intended to establish a European constitution, finally was not carried out by the refusal of France and the Netherlands was signed.
Since the economic crisis of 2008, it has been the need for greater coordination of economic policy to ensure economic and social welfare in all European states. Thus it was launched the Banking Union, which has a unique monitoring mechanism with which the ECB (European Central Bank) supervises credit institutions.
At the summit of the euro in 2014, it promotes greater cooperation committee chairman with ECB President and President of the Eurogroup to improve the economic governance of the euro area. These agencies together with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) form the "Troika" studying the economic situation of countries and economic reforms point them to do if they want to heal its economy.
Now by looking more in Spain; political and economic decisions of these institutions have not always been well received by the Spanish political landscape, as some political part opposed to these decisions.
While the government of the Popular Part (PP) applied conformed and European austerity measures and cuts, the opposition part (PSOE) was against them.
The emergence of other political part as Citizens can lead to a greater diversity of views on the relations that should keep Spain with the EU.
To finish this look, let's talk about a part of the interview we did with Rafael Climent. He described the various policy changes: First, told us that one of the unfinished business was that Europe has no political decision should have. In his opinion, the independent states should take into account certain values on the economic side and the political decision is all that represents Europe. In recent years, political changes given by society, which have led to a neoliberal system that has been questioned by the society that has not occurred only in Spain but also in Europe and this effect is fully reflected in the last elections of December 20th, so what is sought is the political agreement between parties.
One of the questions we asked him was, if there are currently political criticism in Spain, that is, if we vote with the same criteria as before.
To this question he replied that now people are more prepared for social events in politics, people will vote with more information in Transition (was voted by families, by the vote of the head of family). Right now, there is more debate and more approach on families. Today, we talk more about politics and this is a positive factor for society, which makes it a free and democratic society.
EDUCATIONAL ASPECT Changes and developments in relation to education:The aim of this aspect is to analyze some relatively important changes generally related to the world of education.First, we will compare the Spanish education with other EU countries.Spain has only values above Portugal in the percentage of people with higher education at the secondary level and it is very far from the European average situated approximately at 70%.
This graphic shows people aged 18 to 24 years with compulsory secondary education completed and who, by choice, left their studies. This indicates that students are not formed properly.
Another of the selected indicators is spending on education as a percentage of GDP:
With this indicator we are in the tail of Europe, but closer to the average than in the graphics above.
The Spanish education system remains relatively low compared with other countries positions within the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. We have advanced a little in Math, Reading Strategies and Science. But this does not mean that Spain, nowadays, is still below the OECD average. This is shown by the last Pisa Report (Programme for International Student Assessment).

EUROPEAN LOCAL PROJECTS
Regarding this aspect, we will relate it with a project that has been carried out in our center (IES Serra Mariola). It is the financial support made by the European Social Fund (ESF) which has had an impact on the courses of Basic Training (FPB) and it has also allowed to carry out the formation of many students in the right way by the funding and the tutoring projects made by students themselves. Both actions have encouraged pupils to improve their learning.

LITTLE PROGRESS
Regarding Mathematics, Spain has risen from 483 points to 484. The OECD average is 494. Spain takes place at number 25 of the 34 OECD and place 33 of all the participating countries.
Regarding Reading Strategies, Spain goes from 481 points to 488, a remarkable growth. The OECD average is 498.Spain stands at number 23 regarding the OECD list and place 32 with respect all countries
In Science, where the results favor us; we went from 488 to 496 points. An increasement of 8 points. The OECD average is 501, a bit far objective. We keep the 21 place concerning the OECD and 29 regarding the 65 participating countries.
Overall since 2003, the results have not improved much, especially in Mathematics, where the results are dismal.
Years go by and Spain remains in last place of the PISA reports, Finland topping the list, this makes us step back and see where we have been failing.
Our education system is made up of many mistakes, it’s a poorly designed education system, with shameful and terrible results.
To change our results we must go for creativity and eliminate memorization of our education.
The most important failures occur early in childhood, Pre-school stage, maladaptive children and many rules that prevent them from being creative and from experimentation.
In Primary school, there’s a lot of memorization and assessment tests. As it would be expected, creativity is null. Moreover, many punishments are useless.
In Secondary school, students feel tired, without motivation and with bad feelings towards examns and homework.
In short, Spain bases its education in an educational system badly designed and as a result, students are poorly prepared, it is especially reflected in the results, which are shameful, because our system is based on memorization and consequent evaluation by an exam. Thus, creativity and experimentation is eliminated among our future citizens.
Changes and developments in relation to the sport:
The aim of this aspect is to analyze some relatively important changes generally related to the world of sport.
To begin with, we did an interview with our PE teacher, Xavier Sarrión, in which he analyzed the different changes, in the sport level, there have been in Spain since its introduction to the European Union (EU).
First, it was a necessity to begin being part of the European Union (1986), because we were entering an era of globalization, in which the greater the union between countries were going to be, the best results in the era of communications we will obtain. In short, make of our world, a global world. It was necessary to enter the EU to compete against other global rivals economically.
In general, entering the EU has led to positive and negative changes.
Negative changes: The use of the euro allowed the free trade between countries because it was more comfortable with the same currency. However, adaptation to the new currency was a very difficult change because for some people it implied a big effort of adaptation.
Positive changes: There have been global communications quickly and everyone insists on language learning, including aid provided to improve conditions of this learning.
Focusing on the sports field, a positive change has been the fight against doping, which refers to the use of banned or stimulants to significantly increase the performance and results of any player.
Cases of doping in athletes have been reduced, for example, it was banned on December 22, 2015, the meldonium for tennis players. Maria Sharanova prompted for such substances not to be consumed.
In the interview, our teacher informed us that public sport centres are an important site where anyone can do different sport activities without any difficulty. The evolution of them has been a necessary step towards a sport change.
Finally, a significant change in the sports world was "the Bosman Law":
A major change happened in 1995, when a humble Belgian player Jean-Marc Bosman changed the course of football history as we know it. This player of the Real Club of Liege, received in 1990 an offer of renewal of contract by his club, which he considered offensive and inadequate. Bosman refused to accept the renewal, and he negotiated with the USL Dunkerque in France, a team playing in the second division of France. Bosman, knowing that his contract with the Liege had come to an end, wanted to leave it to play in the French Dunkerque, but his club did not authorize his transfer. The footballer plucked up courage and took the case to the court. Later the player won its deserved victory. This law benefited the players who finished their contract. It allowed them to negotiate freely and play the next season in the desired team. On the other hand, players born in the European Union does not occupy an abroad place anymore.

To conclude this work about Spain in the EU, we will include in this section the views of each group member to draw an overall conclusion and a collaborative opinion.
Álex García: "For me, this project has been a very rewarding experience because we worked in a different way to other projects and dynamically school study by the dynamics of working in a group as individual learning and teaching alternately.
In conclusion; this project has given me a new way of learning and has been very positive, and I've learned different things and learned to work in groups; It has been a good experience. "
Ferran Moncho: "In my opinion, this has been a great project to encourage students and create a work environment aimed at teamwork and collaboration among group members, and which isn’t aimed at learning theorized material teaching class. In conclusion and to finalize my opinion this project has meant a new method for fast and effective learning to communicate students more knowledge in less time. "
Javier Moncho: "My assessment of this project is very positive. This project has enabled us to put aside the heavy theory studied in class and also get a better understanding of teamwork and an experience that will help us certainly more in the future, because it allows us to be more prepared and take in more relevant and more importantly, unlike school supplies and study that helps us in theory but in practice very little projects. Needless include, also, the fact of working in a group, because it allows us to compare the different opinions of all partners. I also want to mention the extraordinary work done by all the team members and their great involvement in this, though difficult, big project. "
Carlos Pascual: "From my point of view this project has opened new doors of knowledge to the European Union, and with every aspect we have written and adquired new and different wisdom about the huge European community, this activity has helped us to mature mentally and help us really understand that it is the European Union, which know a little more of its long history and all countries that complete, ultimately, I think that this project is perfect to leave the conventional world and to learn to teamwork and team with different methods, we can benefit and open new doors for the future, one could say that this project has given me a good feeling. "
Secun Pascual: "It has been an enriching experience, every aspect has opened a new world with new information, some unaware, and opinions of sources and people who have helped me to build my own opinion. It was a test for our coordination, since all depended on everyone. Moreover, it has been a good activity to work together and show our most collaborative and creative part.
In short, we leave behind the textbook for this activity, which means a very positive change, and we left behind the simple routine to move to a more extroverted activity. "
Ainhoa Sanjuán: "I felt really done during this project because it is another way to approach studies the students doing to cooperate with us cooperation among students has brought different perspectives to the project and has given a good result I think that I’ve got a satisfactory result. "
Ángela Pérez: "In my opinion, we were working so hard to organize in groups and make our goal, has been something completely new in our lives and we put all our creativity in this work and much work has given their fruit. I think the best work was to share our ideas and put them together, also help each other and do a different activity to what we do in class. "
Mauro Samper: "For me this activity is useful in the sense of teamwork and be able to do classes in a different way. While we learn from the history of the European Union, at the same time that students are not too tired of so much theory. In conclusion, the change of theoretical classes to group projects, I really liked (and that will serve us for the future) and learn more about the European Union”.
Ángel Vilaplana: "I am very happy to have this project the incorporation of Spain in the European Union for the reason that we have done different things we usually did in class. Also in this project it made me learn a lot of information about Spain in the European Union. Another thing I have learned from this great project, is the teamwork because with the ideas of the whole group we created this blog and the possibility to participate in this project. "
Joan Ballester: "In my opinion, it’s a good idea to do this job about the 30 years in the European Union because these is teaching you everything that happened 30 years ago when Spain entered at the European Union."
