Since 1989, the date of the collapse of communism, Europe has entered a
period of profound reorganisation.
Before this, two Europes opposed each
other: Eastern Europe and Western Europe separated by the "Iron Curtain".
Since 1993 Europe numbers 43 independent States.
Unprecedented in the
entire world, as this century ends 13 new States have been created
between 1990 and 1993.
Today, the European Union has 15 members and 10 States are officially
candidates for membership.
The economic heart of Europe is the area
embracing London, Paris, Rotterdam, Frankfurt and Milan, within which the
majority of business activity and people are concentrated.
Representing
30 % of the world's GNP and 40 % of the world's exports, the European
Union is the world's leading economic power, far ahead of North America
and Japan..
