What say you to the EU?

Whereas Sweden and Norway are not EU members, but Finland is. Norway is a NATO member but not Sweden or Finland. As so it goes, the hodgepodge that is NATO, EU, WU (a military organization), EU members part and not part of the Eurodollar, countries applied for EU membership, countries applied for NATO membership. BTW what is the offical language of the EU? French last I heard, then Spanish as a second language - anything but English ... and the Germans speakers - Austria and Germany - are not happy about that.

Sweden has been a member of the EU since 1995.
There is AFAIK no single official language of the EU, see this site for a discussion of languages in the future of Europe.

See The European Union On-Line for more information.
