A [[Unión Europea]] (UE) comprende 28 '''estados membros'''. Cada estado membro forma parte dos [[Tratados da Unión Europea|tratados fundacionais]] da unión, e polo tanto, está suxeito ós privilexios e obrigacións da adhesión. Ó contrario que moitas [[Organización intergobernamental|organizacións internacionais]], os estados membros da Unión Europea sométense ás leis da unión en troques da representación nas institucións lexislativas e xudiciais comúns . Member states must agree unanimously for the EU to adopt policies concerning defence and foreign affairs.<ref>EU foreign policy is agreed case by case where every member state agrees to a common position. Thus a member state can veto a foreign policy it does not agree with and agreed policy tends to be lose and infrequent.</ref> [[Subsidiarity]] is a founding principle of the EU.
 
In 1957 [[Inner Six|six core states]] founded the EU's predecessor, the [[European Economic Community]] ([[Belgium]], [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], the [[Netherlands]] and [[West Germany]]). The remaining states have acceded in subsequent [[Enlargement of the European Union|enlargements]]. On 1 July 2013 [[Croatia]] became the newest member state of the EU. In order to accede, a state must fulfill the economic and political requirements known as the [[Copenhagen criteria]], which require a candidate to have a [[democracy|democratic]], [[free market]] government together with the corresponding freedoms and institutions, and respect for the [[rule of law]]. Enlargement of the Union is also contingent upon the consent of all existing members and the candidate's adoption of the existing body of EU law, known as the [[acquis communautaire]].
