Benelux

Benelux

Benelux is a union of states comprising three neighbouring countries in midwestern Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The union's name is formed from joining the first syllable of each country's name – Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg – and was first used to name the customs agreement that initiated the union. It is now used in a more general way to refer to the geographic, economic and cultural grouping of the three countries. In 1951, these countries joined West Germany, France, and Italy to form the European Coal and Steel Community, the predecessor of the European Economic Community and today's European Union. The main institutions of the Union are the Committee of Ministers, the Parliament, the Council of the Union and the Secretariat-General, while the Benelux Organization for Intellectual Property and the Benelux Court of Justice are cover the same territory but are not part of the Economic Union. The Benelux Secretary-General is located in Brussels. It is the central administrative pillar of the Benelux Economic Union.
