Explanation:  The European Union is primarily an economic and political union consisting of the member states of the Union, primarily from Europe. Each member state has its own sovereign and independent governments and political systems, where each member conducts elections in its own country for members of the European Parliament. There is a common currency in the territory of the European Union, and there are no state borders in the term of any police points and obstacles between member states, as there is freedom of movement. These borders exist only as official border markings between the territories of neighbouring countries.
