I'm fairly sure it was EEC, the European Economic Community.It's a bit complicated. The European Union is the name after the Maastricht treaty which is for all intent and purpose mainly a consolidation of dozens of previous treaties. Before that the EU was known as the EC(European Communities) because the treaties that formed it's basis are called communities. The founding treaty is the Treaty of Rome in 1957.

My economics degree was almost 20 years ago, so I'm blaming old age (it's my 40th birthday today)No, it is EC(European Communities). The first community was the ECSC in 1952, then in 1957 the treaty of Rome created the EEC and the EAEC. Those are the European communities.
