Europe
The European Union (EU) is the largest economy in the world, encompassing
25 member states with a combined population of almost 460 million people.
EU resources: FedEE's social Europe FAQ and EU guide offer invaluable starting points for learning about the composition, structure and operation of the European Union. Our glossary of terms provides a handy reference to interpret some of the technical expressions or jargon you may encounter in this subject area. For factual profiles of living and working conditions in particular European countries, you may wish to visit the portal provided by Statistics Belgium. You may also wish to consult an overall map of the region and view some key statistics showing the breakdown of different national groupings.
The euro: One of the most important
developments in the evolution of the European Union has been the
launch of the euro as the common currency of core member states.
FedEE's brief review of the euro provides
answers to common questions about the currency and its status
in different European jurisdictions.
The Federation of European Employers: FedEE, the leading organisation for international employers operating in Europe, originated from a project funded by the European Commission in 1989. Since that time, we have made a significant contribution to EU developments in the fields of equal opportunities, positive
action, family-friendly employment policies, European works councils, pay determination,
legal education for HR professionals, the treatment of temporary workers and the future EU constitution.
