After the expansion of the EU in 2004 and 2007, the Eastern border of the EU consists of 10 countries: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece.
If the EU consisted of Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and Scandinavia, Britain would have no real problem with fully involved membership – including, probably, a single currency.
Background: The Eastern border of the European Union (EU) consists of 10 countries after the expansion of the EU in 2004 and 2007.
The European Union (EU) consists of 25 member states along with 4 associated EEA/ EFTA (European Economic Area/ European Free Trade Area) countries and 4 candidate countries, with altogether 630 millions inhabitants.
To accomplish the European Health Literacy Survey (HLS-EU), which aimed to measure and compare health literacy in populations in selected countries in Europe [ 22], the HLS-EU Consortium consisting of nine research institutes from Austria, Bulgaria, Germanya, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain, developed the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q).
The EU consists at present of 27 member states with some 491 million inhabitants, each of them having their own traffic situation and methods of recording crash statistics, which makes direct comparisons of safety between countries complicated [26, 27].

In contrast, EU relations with the second group - consisting of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Belarus whose governments have only limited interest in strengthening relations with Brussels -- are unlikely to significantly intensify in the near future.
It is at the centre of the European System of Central Banks, which comprehends all EU national central banks and is controlled by its General Council, consisting of the President of the ECB, who is appointed by the European Council, the Vice-President of the ECB, and the governors of the national central banks of all 28 EU member states.
