The European Union is presently made up of 27 independent member states.

Some other countries are in negotiation to join the EU or, in the case of Turkey, to negotiate the possibility of applying to become a member.

Each country has been linked to the CIA information website so that anyone wishing to gain more information about a country can access information that is provided in a systematic way for each.  This does not in any way represent any political affiliation from EMA, but just a wish to provide background information. 

This page aims to provide some information but we are conscious that this is inevitably limited.  Should you wish to have more information made available on this page, please do not hesitate to contact Joeri Vermeulen with your suggestions.
