In the United States we have individual states that have their own laws, own governor, legislator, etc. but when we travel between states we all use the same money, and there are a set of laws that also apply to everyone, that individual states can’t overrule.

The EU is much like that. It generally creates a uniform currency and allows for easier travel between countries. It also helps regulate trade between countries.
