[edit] Ethnic Composition
Is there no data on ethnic composition of the European Union available? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emblazoned (talk • contribs) 20:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Again, nobody has nay data on this? Nergaal (talk) 01:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Net Migration?
The article claims a net migration rate of 3.6 / 1000 (for 2005?), while the CIA World Factbook claims 1.5 / 1000 (for 2006?). Which one is right? The source for the high 3.6 figure and other sources also claim that it was exceptionally high due to regularisations.
Why is almost all of the immigration section a sentimental spiel about immigration to portugal? TastyCakes 17:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Death rate
I guess there is a problem in the article : "Death rate: 10.1 births/1,000 population (2006 est.)". It doesn't make sense.
- Yes, it should be deaths.. TastyCakes 19:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moved data
This data was removed from the European Union page. I am putting it here if someone can be intergrated into this or another article - rather than the data being research and written again another time;
However, different countries deal differently with large cities. Athens, for example, has about four million inhabitants, but it has been divided into many municipalities making the city proper of Athens one of the smaller European capitals, with about 800,000 inhabitants. Densely populated regions that have no single core but have emerged from the connection of several cites and are now encompassing large metropolitan areas are Rhine-Ruhr having approximately 10.5 million inhabitants (Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf et al.), Randstad approx. 7 million (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht et al.), Flemish Diamond approx 5.5 million (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent et al.), Frankfurt Rhine Main Area approx. 4 million (Frankfurt, Wiesbaden et al.) and the Upper Silesian Industry Area approx. 3.5 million. (Katowice, Sosnowiec et al.).[1]
The cities table may also be removed, pending discussion on talk page. - J Logan t: 10:21, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
