The European Economic Community, or EEC, was founded in 1957 by 6 countries. It now has 27 members and is known as the European Union. So there is no real difference as such. The EU is just the modern name for what was the EEC.

When did the eec become the eu?
When the EEC (European Econmic Community) was first established it was as a trading bloc to help commerce develop between the countries of Western Europe. Gradually the people that ran it, with the connivance of politicians, arranged for it to develop into a political union (a sort of United States of Europe). A new name was obviously needed if the populations of the countries concerned were not to be constantly reminded of what they originally agreed to and so it was that the new name of European Union came about.
