European courts, institutions and conventions (pages 34 – 35)
Here are the texts with the wrong words highlighted and corrected.
The European Union (EU)
This is a group of European nations that form a single economic community and have agreed on social and political
cooperation. There are currently 25 member states. The Union has a Parliament and a main executive body called the
European Commission (which is made up of members nominated by each member state).
The Council of Europe
This is one of the four bodies which form the basis of the European Union. The Council does not have fixed members, but
the member states are each represented by the relevant government minister. The Council is headed by a President, and
the Presidency rotates among the member states in alphabetical order, each serving a six-month period. This means that in

month period, and can try to get as many of its proposals put into legislation as it can.
The European Convention on Human Rights
This is a convention signed by all members of the Council of Europe covering the rights and fundamental freedoms of all its
citizens, and aims to prevent violations and breaches of human rights. The convention recognises property rights, the right
of citizens to privacy, the due process of law and the principle of legal review or appeal. The key provisions are now
incorporated by the Human Rights Act of 1998, which came into force in the United Kingdom in October 2000. 
The European Court of Human Rights
This is a court that considers the rights of citizens of states which are
