The European Union is a politico-economic union of 28 countries with a combined population of over 510 million. The purpose of the EU was to promote free trade and immigration within its internal market. Each member country would also enact similar laws regarding agriculture and development. Italy has been a member of the EU since January 1958. Proponents leaving the EU argue that membership undermines Italy's sovereignty and leaving would help Italy control immigration. Opponents of leaving the EU argue would damage trade, cause unemployment and harm foreign investment.  See recent European Union news
