There are currently 27 member coutries, not 30. Not all of them use the Euro.
I believe the other statements to be true, but had better do your own research or wait for another teacher to respond.
The following are true statements: 1, 3, 6.
As drwls said, not all EU members use the Euro -- although most of them do.
I should have realized that 2) is wrong. You do not have to present passports when going from one EU country to another, but you do if you are entering from outside the EU, or arriving at an international airport.
Many, if not most, internal EU borders no longer have guards.
Okay. thank you, to both of you. :)
Certainly! Let's go through each statement and see which ones accurately describe the European Union (EU).
1) Citizens of EU nations can live, work, or study in any member nation.
This statement is correct. One of the key principles of the EU is the free movement of people, which allows citizens of EU member nations to live, work, or study in any other EU member nation.
2) Passports must be presented by citizens when traveling between EU nations.
This statement is also correct. While there is no internal border control between most EU member nations, citizens are still required to carry valid identification, such as passports, when traveling between EU nations.
3) Tariffs between member nations were ended in 1968.
This statement is incorrect. The process of removing tariffs (taxes on imported goods) between EU member nations took place over a longer period. It began with the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957 and continued until the completion of the EU's internal market in 1993.
4) The common currency of the EU is the Euro.
This statement is correct. The Euro is the official currency used by 19 out of the 27 EU member nations. However, not all EU member nations have adopted the Euro as their currency.
5) Thirty nations belong to the EU.
This statement is incorrect. As of 2022, there are 27 EU member nations, not 30.
6) To belong to the EU, member nations must give up some of their sovereignty.
This statement is correct. Member nations of the EU agree to pool a portion of their sovereignty in certain areas, such as trade, immigration, and security policies, in order to work together and make collective decisions for the benefit of the entire Union.
Based on this breakdown, statements 1, 2, 4, and 6 accurately describe the European Union (EU).
