eunion1-1, Exercise 1: Five names that get confused

Model answer:

(a) Europe is a continent with no single government, and includes countries outside the EU (Norway, Switzerland, the UK, Ukraine); the EU covers only part of it.
(b) The Council of Europe is a much larger human-rights and legal organisation based in Strasbourg (founded 1949, around 46 members), which created the European Convention on Human Rights; it is not an EU body.
(c) The eurozone is only the EU countries that use the euro, so some EU members are outside it.
(d) The Schengen area is the group of countries that have abolished routine passport checks between them; it includes some non-EU states (such as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland), and some EU members (notably Ireland) are not fully part of it.
