The EU, or European Union calls it self a 'Union'.
It is usually considered a supra-national Confederation.
The difference between a confederation and federation is that in the former the members have the right to leave at any time.
It is 'supra-national' because it exists above the level of the member states.

Why is Canada called federation?
Because there are many Canadians that would like to see it so. Instead Canada is a Confederation of many Nations. The difference is that a Confederation has a weak federal government and the members in the Confederation are there by choice. In a Canadian Federation the federal government would have total control, or very much more than it does now, and the members would not be allowed to leave or make any major decisions without Canada agreeing.
What Confederation country?
There actually are no countries that are confederate ones today. Switzerland is usually the first one to pop into mind, as it is known as the Swiss Confederation. However, Switzerland is only a confederation by name and has not been so since 1847. Many people refer to Belgium as a confederation, however, truly it is a federation. Canada also is mistaken for a confederation due to the Canadian Confederation process. The European Union, although not a country, is somewhat a mix of a confederation and federation. Serbia and Montenegro, which is no longer a country, was a confederation that existed between 2003 and 2006.
