This week, all Europeans will have the pleasure of welcoming 10 new countries to the European Union. I'll blog more about this shortly.
Click on the map to the left for a zoom on each country. And here for the European anthem.
In the meantime, you may go to some public information sources about what the European Union is all about:
- Official site of the European Union
- Ministère des Affaires Européennes (République Française)
- Porte d'Europe, portail européen de Sciences Po Paris
- Europe Unie, portail de l'Europe à 25
- The European Convention
And a little stroke of humor to welcome our Czech friends:
"A Czech goes to the ophthalmologist who shows him a card with the letters
'C Z W X N Q S T A C Z'.
"Can you read this?" he asks.
"Read?" the Czech replies, "I even know the guy!""
