EU or the EU?

Should it be written “EU” or “the EU”?
Of course it is all about “the European Union” / “European Union”.

If both ways are correct which one to use and when?

Thanks

It depends on context:

‘EU rules state that…’
‘The EU has stated that…’

I need at least 10 examples of complete sentences in which

EU

the EU

EU’s

the European Union

European Union

European Union funds

the European Union funds

are used in the different contexts in order to get the right patterns.

Thanks
