Abstract: Abstract The European Union (EU) is a voluntary association whose membership is open to all European nations, provided they have democratically elected governments. At the beginning of 2014, it comprised 28 such nations and it has been getting much closer to encompassing the whole of Europe. Moreover, the EU has decided that Europe’s traditional geographical designation should not be sacrosanct, and so has extended the right to negotiate membership to Turkey.
