Why has Great Britain not fully participated in the EU?

The European Union allows for some flexibility in how countries participate. So some countries do not participate in certain aspects. Britain does not use the Euro, but 9 other European Union countries don't use it either.

Why is the EU considered a region?

Some people may think it is a region because it has countries in it and all those countries are in the same part of the world, and some people think the European Union is the same thing as Europe. The European Union is not a region though. It is an organisation that has countries as members. There are many such organisations around the world. The UN is not a region, NATO is not a region, the Commonwealth is not a region, and neither is the European Union. Europe is a continent and you could say it is a region. A large amount of the countries in Europe are not in the European Union.

Is the European Union in the Middle East?

Cypus is the only European Union member in the Middle East. All other European Union countries (as could be guessed) are in Europe. Turkey is a Middle Eastern country that has tried to accede to the European Union, but has not had its accession accepted. To read more about that read the Related Question. The European Union is very active politically in the Middle East, often serving as a bloc to negotiate against different Middle Eastern countries and therefore make negotiations more favorable in the Middle East.


Is the European Union in Brussels?

Not technically. There is no capital of Europe, as Europe isn't a country, it's a continent. However due to the large numbers of Europe wide institutions, it could be argued that Brussels is the de facto capital of the Europe union as it houses the European commission, the European council and the second seat of the European Parliament. The EU is comprised of only 27 countries in Europe and excludes European countries such as Norway and Switzerland.


What country was added to the European union in 1990?

In 1990, West Germany, a member of what is now the European Union, reunited with East Germany, which was not a member. Together they became Germany and are part of the European Union. You could say the East Germany joined, but East Germany did not exist when re-unification occurred. So there was no addition to the membership as such. 12 countries were members before the re-unification, and after the re-unification of Germany, there were still 12 countries.

The European Union is an organisation, not a place. It has 28 countries as members and there are many famous mountains in them, too many to list. It is not a geographical mountain, but the large amount of surplus butter that is produced by countries in the European Union has been referred to as the butter mountain, which could also be what you are referring to.
