Yes it is generally speaking although we are, as British, part of Europe but we are also part of the European Union and have been for a long time.

Technically No. But in reality yes - Countries with are not in the EU like Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are still pretty much obliged to comply with EU Directives so they can trade with the EU and have found it necessary to join many EU treaties, such as Schenghen.
Clevergirl - you really do need to consider changing your name. The origins of the EU are post Second World War.

no it's not the same. the European Union (EU) it's a kinda aliance of conutries from Europe and they decide some political issues for all of the countries, such as the agricultural benefits that every country recives and part of the economical things, that's why we have euros. Anyway, not all the countries from Europe are part of the European Union, altought there are not many left right now.

No, the EU is the European Union started up after the first world war and countries have to join their club. They are pretty useless really and only come up with new taxes or laws for us.

No being a part of europe just means being situated in the continent. Being a part of the european union means your country has elected to join it.

Nope, not all countries in Europe are in the EU, therefor EU law has no stand in those countries.
