Some countries in Eastern Europe are members of the organisation known as the European Union (EU). While there are many positive feelings towards Eastern Europe, there are also critics in the EU who think North-Western Europe's status of prosperity is way beyond the current norms in Eastern Europe. Also, there are many geo-political factors to consider. However, the EU collectively takes a positive stance towards Eastern Europe.
Eastern European countries need to adopt more Western values to join the EU. These countries have already been doing so since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Bulgaria is the country with a capital of Budapest. It is one of the largest cities in the EU and in Eastern Europe.
No. Europe wanted to unite so they made the EU.
In the last 15 years, the European Union has almost doubled, growing from 15 members to 27 (28 in 2013). These new members were almost all from Eastern Europe, as this is the present goal of the EU: to expand eastward. The EU sees lots of opportunities in recruiting Eastern European nations.
EU is the abbreviation for Europe. Europe was the 2nd Area in the World to be named. First Asia then Europe.
In the EU, different points of view make unity more difficult. In Eastern Europe, industries have to update their methods of production.
Most of the original EU countries were from Western Europe since the European Union came into being as a result of Franco-West German economic agreements regarding coalmining. The Benelux countries wanted to be part of that agreement, forming the antecedents of the European Union. Additionally, Eastern Europe refused to recognize a common economic market because that would be a recognition of capitalism (as opposed to communism which prevailed in Eatern Europe).
The EU is not anywhere. It is an organisation, not a place. It is an organisation that has 28 different countries as members, all from Europe.

Australia has never been part of The EU. It is not even in Europe.
