The main purpose of the Lisbon Treaty was to amend the EC and EU Treaties to allow for the dramatic growth in the number of Member States, as well as to enhance the efficiency and democratic legitimacy of the EU institutions. It did not introduce the Euro as the currency of the EU (that was done through the Maastricht Treaty), and direct elections to the European Parliament were already established before the Lisbon Treaty.
