    Then Europe is a bunch of countries wearing a bikini and lots of accessories. There’s no one part that covers all of it, some accessories strongly clash with each other and you have random bracelets everywhere.

      So the EU parliament isn’t a thing then?

          A pedantic point. Europe has become a synonym for EU in journalism.

              I didn’t mean “GET THE TIN FOIL! IT’S AN EU CONSPIRICY”. I meant “The article is discussing an EU development programme”.
