What is barren land found on all continents except Europe?
Definition: Those ecosystems in which less than one third of the area has vegetation or other cover. In general, Barren Land has thin soil, sand, or rocks. Barren lands include deserts, dry salt flats, beaches, sand dunes, exposed rock, strip mines, quaries, and gravel pits.

Barren Land Categories:Bare Exposed Rock: Those ecosystems characterized by areas of bedrock exposure, desert pavement, scarps, talus, slides, volcanic material, rock glaciers, and other accumulations of rock without vegetative cover. This does not include rock exposures in tundra regions. (Definition Source: A Land Use and Land Cover Classification System for Use with Remote Sensing Data)
Beaches: Those ecosystems along shorelines characterized by smooth sloping accumulations of sand and gravel. The surface is stable inland, but the shoreward part is subject to erosion by wind and water and to deposition in protected areas.

Dry Salt Flats: Those ecosystems occurring on the flat-floored bottoms of interior desert basins that do not qualify as wetlands. (Definition Source: A Land Use and Land Cover Classification System for Use with Remote Sensing Data)
Mixed Barren Land: Those regions in which a mixture of barren land features occurs and the dominant land use occupies less than two-thirds of the area. This includes, for example, a desert region where combinations of salt flats, sandy areas, bare rock, surface extraction, and transitional activities could occur in close proximity. (Definition Source: A Land Use and Land Cover Classification System for Use with Remote Sensing Data)
Sandy Areas Other Than Beaches: Those ecosystems composed primarily of dunes -- accumulations of sand transported by wind. These accumulations most commonly are found in deserts although they also occur on coastal plains, river flood plains, and deltas and in periglacial environments. This does not include sand accumulations in tundra areas. (Definition Source: A Land Use and Land Cover Classification System for Use with Remote Sensing Data)
Strip Mines, Quaries, and Gravel Pits: Those regions where vegetative cover and overburden are removed to expose such deposits as coal, iron ore, limestone, and copper. This includes inactive, unreclaimed, and active strip mines, quarries, borrow pits, and gravel pits until other cover or use has been established. This does not include unused pits or quarries that have been flooded. (Definition Source: A Land Use and Land Cover Classification System for Use with Remote Sensing Data)
Transitional Areas: Those regions that are in transition from one land use activity to another. This transitional phase occurs when, for example, forest lands are cleared for agriculture, wetlands are drained for development, or when any type of land use ceases as areas become temporarily bare as con- struction is planned for such future uses as residences, shopping centers, industrial sites, or subur- ban and rural residential subdivisions. This also includes land being altered by filling, such as occurs in spoil dumps or sanitary landfills.

What are the advantages of Greece being in the EU for the EU?
Greece has the twelfth largest economy of any EU member, but is currently shrinking at an alarming rate (almost -7% for the 2012 Q3). Greece has the thirteenth largest external debt total (about 140% of its GDP), but the largest public debt ratio of any EU member. Greece has taken drastic measures to reduce its debt, where it reduced its debt by almost 40% in the first quarter of 2012.
Although Greece is definitely the largest economic burden for the European Union today, it wasn't always so. Greece's economy hasn't been this terrible since it was destroyed in World War II. Post WWII, Greece experienced high economic prosperity between 1950 and 1970, just a decade before it joined the EU. Greece had a terrific economy at these times, and was one of the main reasons Greece was acceded into the EU in 1981. Greece also experienced high economic prosperity in the turn of the millennium, well above the EU average. In 2008, however, Greece was hit hard by the changing world market because its two main industries, shipping and tourism, were vulnerable. Greece's debt began rising, and its credit score was then forced to be downgraded, etc. Greece has been going downhill ever since then, and has relied on bailouts from the EU (mainly with the help of Germany). Despite all this, Greece is still described as one of the most advanced economies in the world, and sustains one of the highest standards of living while battling an enormous unemployment rate.
So upon Greece's accession to the EU, it obtained one of the largest and most prosperous economies, only to grow more so in the years to come. However, Greece is without a doubt the biggest problem with the EU today.
