Beginning in 1958 with only six member states, the European Union had by 2004 developed into a partnership of twenty-five. In 2003, the then fifteen member states had a total population of 380 million and a total gross domestic product (GDP) of US$10.5 trillion. The equivalent figures for the United States in 2003 were a population of 280 million and a GDP of US$11 trillion. By 2004, the GDP of the previous fifteen member states had just overtaken the US GDP, and the (now twenty-five) member states had a combined population of 456 million. Just as a basic knowledge of the complexities of the US Constitution and how it works is necessary for anyone concerned with international relations, so an understanding of the EU and its procedures is important. Any company exporting to, or selling within, the EU must comply with EU law. Many non-EU states and some of their regions have offices in Brussels, as do many large, non-EU companies.
