The EU countries (the European Union) have significantly increasednumber in recent decades. Until the summer of 2011, this union was called Western Europe. The list of European countries is extensive, but not all countries from this list are part of the European Union.
Today this community is very similar to the deceasedUSSR, and it was formed in 1948 as a counterweight to the "eastern monster". The same reason for the creation of a new education is to prevent Germany from reborn as an independent, unified state, preventing the revival of fascism after the end of the war.
A separate conversation could be held about the situationFRG in the bosom of the European Union: it is a locomotive that draws on itself practically the entire economy of the community. Differences with the Soviet Union in the European, of course, there are.
There is no single currency. But the federal system has general legislation, you can use the general cashier, a single central bank and customs space. Management is also akin to a planned economy, a command-administrative board.
For example, at the top all limits for crop areas for crops are approved. This applies to each country of the European Union. The list of results is really depressing.
Greeks in the hot and fertile south buyDutch vegetables and do not have the right to trade on the territory of the European Union with the original Greek product - olive oil. The Czech Republic also stopped growing vegetables, but rapeseed is grown, oil from which is added even to diesel fuel. There is almost no good oil in the Czech Republic. But in this way the profitability among farmers grows.
This is resolved more successfully than economic tasks. The list of European countries that have developed a single and integral foreign policy with almost complete absence of disagreement can not be made, since Brussels unanimously decides whom to pardon and whom to execute.
Recent years, however, show someslips, the global economic crisis has made governments less bold and amicable. Still: the loss of the eastern markets because of sanctions against Russia could well lead the least prosperous owners to complete economic degradation.
There are many similarities with the Soviet Union: only the parliament has a multi-party basis, but everything else is present: the European Commission as the executive body is headed by the chairman, and the European Council consists of the heads of the EU member states. The European Parliament follows the law (with its chairman), along with the Council of the European Union.
Here you have the Politburo with the Central Committee of the CPSU, and the congresses of the party with the Supreme Council, and the Secretary-General is present, and even the chairman of the presidium! But the constitution is not yet.
The borders between countries are arbitrary, customs pointsabolished, free movement of all citizens within the community. But labor markets are regulated by strict regulations and require the authorization of the authorities for employment. This is practiced by all countries of the European Community. The list of the amenities and inconveniences of life in modern Europe can be continued indefinitely.
The list of European countries is constantly changing. At the moment, Europe has 44 states. It changes not only the number, but also the name. Metamorphoses of the last time: the Soviet Union in the breakup gave Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. Yugoslavia, in the same circumstances, enriched the continent with Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. But the GDR and the FRG have become a single Germany.
This process did not abate. Not only the European countries and their capitals are boiling, the list of unpleasant consequences of the global crisis is extensive and eloquent. There is strong separatism in Catalonia and in the region where Basques live (in Spain), in Scotland and northern Ireland (this is Great Britain), Flanders is worried in Belgium. We are trying in every way to recognize Kosovo as a separate state (this is Serbia). The borders of the countries of Europe, if we put next to the maps of recent years, have become unrecognizable. Therefore, the list of European countries with capitals is quite reasonable to consider temporary.
