European Union
27 countries that act together on trade and sanctions.
The basics
The European Union is a political and economic union of 27 member states. It negotiates trade deals and imposes sanctions as a bloc, and the European Commission speaks for it on trade.
Why it matters from India
The EU is one of India's largest trading partners, and an India-EU trade agreement has been under negotiation for years.
