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.

Some people think it is a region because countries are in it. Some confuse the European Union with Europe. The European Union is not a region. The European Union is an organisation that has 28 countries as members. Europe is a continent with over 50 countries.

The European Union is not a region. It is an organisation, that has countries as members. It is not a geographic entity. See the related question.

The countries in this subregion face diverse but often interrelated challenges. Twenty of them are EU Member States and therefore actively engaged in the efforts of the European Union (EU) to build a Common European Asylum System. Some are located at the EU's external borders, others are not. All face the challenge of protecting refugees within complex mixed migratory flows.
