Overview

Before I begin reviewing the present content, I was wondering if you had contemplated adding a History section, detailing the predecessors of the EU, and the Schengen Area's formation. This is not required, but merely proposed.

Lead and infobox

Passes.

List

Pass here.

Enlargement

Pass here.

Representation

Each paragraph needs an individual reference, in accordance to the GA criterion.

Sovereignty

The excerpt and the two paragraph below it need references.

Opt-outs

The initial two paragraphs need references.
I do not see why the Outermost Regions subsection lies within the Opt-outs section. It might be better housed in the Representation section.

Political systems

"Some of these territories such as French Guiana are part of the EU (see outermost regions, above)..." If you do move the Outermost Regions subsection, this will need to be altered. Also this section needs a reference for each and every paragraph.

Withdrawal and suspension

Passes.

Related states

Pass here.

Conclusion

Once the issues are allayed (mostly adducing), the article will pass. Congratulations! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 16:18, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Not ready

It has been well over a month, and none of the issues here have been addressed. Indeed, on August 2, the nominator added eight "fact" templates, and none of the needed citations have been supplied in the month since. This cannot be a Good Article in its current condition, and given the extended inaction, the nomination should be closed. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:10, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Very well. The nomination is henceforth closed due to inactivity. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 15:37, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
