The European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries (EU Member States*). These countries participate in the Kimberley Process (KP) under the umbrella of the EU as a single KP participant, and they have a single legislation to implement KPCS minimum requirements. The EU and its Member States are represented in the KP by the European Commission. Seven EU KP authorities verify rough diamond imports destined anywhere in the EU and issue a uniform EU KP certificate. These are: Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, Romania and Italy. 

*The EU member states are the following: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
