Some of the countries in Europe belong to the European

  • Union. This means that the governments of each country

work together to try and make Europe better. Countries have to pay to belong to the EU but they then receive certain benefits. Lots of countries in the EU now use the same currency, the euro. This makes it easier for everyone to travel around Europe without changing currency.
