The EU is the economic and political partnership between 27 democratic European countries.

"... All legislation and documents of political importance are published in 23 languages. Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish and Swedish. Documents which are not legally binding are usually published in English, French and German.

General information will also be published in the eleven most recent official languages (Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene) as and when it is translated. Information which is urgent or has a short lifespan is not published in all languages.

Specialised information (technical information, speeches, campaigns, calls for tender) and breaking news ("What's new?", press releases, events) is not necessarily published in all languages. The choice of languages depends on the target audience. ..."
