Originally there were only six countries in what is now called the "EU" - the European Union. There are now 28 countries, but there are others which would like to join !
The real question is "where is the "geographic" frontier which defines "Europe" and its "Inhabitants" ? With which Frontiers would the people now living in "Europe" still feel "at home" ? At this point historical events also have their importance !
The current political situation in the EU is influenced by the War against Extremist Muslims, in the Middle East and also in several EU counties, but there are also fleeing Refugees seeking shelter in the EU; this again begs the question - where are the "natural limits" of the EU ?
The current attempt to make a deal with Turkey to limit the arrival of immigrants in the EU, to those fleeing from war-torn Syria only, reveals clearly that Turkey's ultimate aim is to join the EU as soon as possible !
Is that acceptable to all EU countries ? Would Turkey then join the "EUROZONE" ? What about other countries, like Syria, Ukraine with "Crimea" ?
These limits have never been clearly defined. Such limits are not just a "Eurozone" decision, it is a decision which ALL EU countries should be consulted on !
