EUrelated

EUrelated is a label used in information organization to denote content that concerns or is connected with the European Union (EU). It is commonly employed as a tag, category, or metadata field in libraries, academic databases, news archives, and content management systems to group materials about EU institutions, policies, and affairs.

Scope of EUrelated content includes institutional topics (the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the Court of Justice), policy areas (the single market, competition, the customs union, agriculture, environment, digital policy, migration, privacy and data protection), financial matters (the multiannual financial framework, the EU budget, structural funds), and external relations (trade agreements, neighborhood policy, enlargement). It also encompasses the euro and the European Central Bank, as well as citizen rights and regional development programs such as Erasmus.

Because EUrelated is not a formal legal term, its meaning can vary by context and by how the taxonomy is configured. Some systems treat it as an umbrella tag; others use narrower or broader subcategories like “EU law” or “European politics.”

The term is useful for researchers, policymakers, journalists, and educators who work with materials spanning multiple EU topics, enabling focused retrieval and cross-referencing across languages and member states. Related terms include European Union, EU law, and European Commission, with Brexit as a notable case study in EU relations. The EU comprises 27 member states.
