New European Union Member States

Bulgaria and Romania ( known to a certain generation through Great Uncle Bulgaria the Womble, and Nadia Comaneci, the first gymnast ever to get a perfect score in the Olympics) are the latest members of the Union, whilst others such as Turkey still struggle to meet the membership requirements.

Our collection of EU state flags has been updated to include the two new members, and can be accessed from the Citizenship Pages, or by going directly to the EU Flags section of our ever expanding Image Library of totally free to use photographs and diagrams.
