European Union

[raffaem]

The European Union adopted some small differeces, for exmaple it uses EL for Greece and UK for the United Kingdom.

Can we have a column that tracks EU codes?

[laurentpellegrino]

This repository, and particularly countries.csv, only includes officially assigned ISO codes.

The EU and UK are exceptionally reserved code elements and they're not the only ones:

Combining reserved codes with officially assigned ones can be misleading. For example, the EU is not a country and should not appear in a country list.

What’s your use case? How do you intend to use a dataset that includes these reserved codes?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I have a dataset downloaded from EUROSTAT and it's using European Union ISO 3166 codes.

I would like to convert those codes intro country names.
