On the 1st of May 2004, ten new states became members of the European Union, adding 282,516 square kilometres of territory and 75 million citizens to the European single market. The territories of the new member states, and the current EU-applicant states, are shown on these new maps of Europe produced by Planetary Visions. A combination of digital map data with cloud-free satellite images, these natural-colour image-maps are available at high resolution for large-format print use up to a scale of 1:1 million.
