The Schengen agreement (1985/1990) which became operative 1995 allowed free travel without border controls within a few states (France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands) and was integrated into EU law in 1997 (which extended it to a total of 25 states at the moment).
The Euro was introduced in 1999 and became operative on the 1st of January 2002
