UNION, FRIENDLY, STARTS and SAFETY

UNION A group of workers joined together in a specific type of organization for the purpose of improving their working conditions as well as to help in promoting the common interests of the group. This is a union, this is what we are! We think that we are a union because we support each other.
FRIENDLY I think that this word describes Europe very well, due to the fact that we have the problem with the emigrants. A lot of European countries accept to help them and to shelter them and offer food and social help in general. I think that there is a small number of states that do not want to help the ones that are in trouble even if they are not Europeans.
STARS Twelve five-pointed stars on a blue background - this flag has been used by the European Union since 1986. The fact that the EU actually belonged to exactly twelve countries was pure coincidence. The stars on the flag never symbolized the Member States. Therefore, no stars were added as the EU expanded.
SAFETY The European Union currently comprises 28 Member States, which cooperate closely in economic, political, cultural and social spheres. However, security and defense policy tasks and measures are still largely developed and implemented by the governments of the Member States. But the challenges facing the countries of the Union require closer coordination and coordination. Particularly in the fields of asylum and refugee policy, there is a need for closer cooperation.
