Best Answer

The European Union is not a country. It is an organisation. It is there by means of it being a large trading bloc in the world. The United Kingdom is not the only member that is also listed separately. Germany, France and Italy are also members of the European Union that are members of the G20 in their own right. The European Central Bank, and the European Commission, which is made up of one politician from each of the different European Union countries, represent the European Union at the G20.

Does UK have the same health and safety regulations as EU?

As a member of the EU, the UK is expected to issue health and safety regulations that implement EU health and safety Directives. Every member of the EU is expected to do that. No two members does it in precisely the same way. So the EU health and safety regulations are harmonized with EU directives, but may differ in subtle ways for the health and safety regulations of other EU members.


How does the EU effect people in the UK?

Effectively much legislation now comes via the EU - as EU laws should apply to all member states. The UK has some exemptions. Our passport system is not the same as all of the EU and we have not yet adopted the Euro as a currency. EU legislation allows all EU citizens free travel throughout the EU. On a side note many in the UK want to leave the EU and consider it a pain in the neck!
