In 1956 the meeting of heads of the states in Venice took place; at conference Spaak's report was approved; then negotiations on creation of the European Economic Community began. In 1957 2 acts, urged to play the major role in development of processes of integration, were ready to signing. In 1957 in Rome solemn procedure of signing took place:

- Contracts on creation of the European economic community (EEC, or contract on a common market);

- Contracts on European Atomic Energy Community creation (Euratom).

Both contracts came into force since January 1, 1958.

The Treaty of Rome, officially the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community (TEEC), was an international agreement that led to the founding of the European Economic Community (EEC) on 1 January 1958. It was signed on 25 March 1957 by Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany. The word Economic was deleted from the treaty's name by the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, and the treaty was repackaged as the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union on the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009.

The TEEC proposed the progressive reduction of customs duties and the establishment of a customs union. It proposed to create a common market of goods, workers, services and capital within the EEC's member states. It also proposed the creation of common transport and agriculture policies and a European social fund. It also established the European Commission.
