Hi, in my view, the EU is not an administrative body with a border and many parts (countries), but instead the countries have made a contract to form the EU.
I would therefore object to mapping the EU as an entity with a boundary; instead, if it were mapped, I would expect it to be a relation of yet-to-be-defined type and having the individual member states as relation members. I know there's a tendency among some mappers to try and map multipolygons or administrative boundaries for anything that has a name, but that practice is not helpful. I don't even dare to look but I wouldn't be surprised if some helpful soul has meanwhile decided to map "the Atlantic", "the Pacific", or "Eurasia", assembling thousands of little coastline pieces into giant relations in painstaking, week-long work... sigh.
