Talk:Statistics relating to enlargement of the European Union

message: I'm sorry but the area "Barcelona Process" drives me insane. It is obviously written by someone without English as a first language, which makes some of the paragraph hard to understand. Also, a thorough use of the shift key is in order. If someone with a better grasp of language than myself could edit, perhaps . . . 82.19.8.110 19:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Why Ukraine is grupped with Caucasus and Belarus is not? I think Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and probably Russia should be grupped together. And Caucasus shown separately.--Nixer 23:08, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed in theory, but nobody really cares.  The only potential members that should even be mentioned should be Bulgaria and Romania (as they'll join in a few days) and Croatia, FYROM, and Turkey (as they're officially accession candidates).  Gazing into a crystal ball is just not on. Bastin 23:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Should I go ahead and delete statistics related to those countries that aren't explicitly within the plan to expand the European Union?  It really isn't encyclopaedic, and, IMO, the removal of all except the current 27 members and 3 official candidates is a requisite for this being an acceptable article.

thread_title: Deleting all and sundry as potential members?

message: I've corrected the data to reflect the actuality of the time (as promised above), but it's not quite complete.  I've haven't taken into account Greenland or French Algeria (i.e. they're treated as though they've always been outside the EU).  Furthermore, the source from which I got all this data only has stats for up to 2006.  Hence, I've had to use the current data for the 2007 expansion, which is clearly accrued with a different methodology.  Thus, it doesn't really make perfect sense.  However, it's still a vast improvement over before.
That fixes the first point raised above.  I'm still in favour of deleting all speculative entries (i.e. those 'future expansions' that affect non-candidate countries).  If that's done, the 2007 expansion gets the same treatment vis-à-vis contemporary data, and the hash of ignoring Greenland and French Algeria is amended, this article would actually be worth something.  Here's to hoping, eh? Bastin 19:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Speculation has now been deleted.  I'm going to try to find statistics for French Algeria and Greenland, and add them. Bastin 20:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It seems that Bastin never actually found stats about Greenland and French Algeria. I'm much more worried to find a lot of errors in very basic additions about Population figures after 1981. I've corrected a few of them, but it seems very hard to guess if they are good enough, as no source has been cited to this moment. MarcoZec (talk) 19:39, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Contemporary data

message: The GDP and GDP per capita figures for Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia are according to PPP whereas the the figures for the 2004 Enlargement countries are nominal..
The GDP figure for Macedonia is nominal but the GDP per capita is based on PPP (!)
GDP and GDP per capita figures for Turkey are nominal. Also, the population figure for Turkey is over 3.5 mio more than compared with the figure in its wikipedia article.
I think this article should either get its figures right based on the same criteria or should be deleted..

message: Why are GDP quoted in US$? the majority of the countries listed use Euros and do their accounts in Euros, so the "real" figure is the original amount in Euros, before converting to a foreign currency.
The Wikipedia convention is always to quote the original units if possible, then show any conversions.
Most people from European countries are more familiar with Euros than any other currency. Also with the current variable exchange rates, the figures are very difficult to convert back to the original currencies as their is no indication about which exchange rate was used (that on the date the figure refers, or the current rate).
