[edit] European Union

I removed the EU from the list, since it is not a country. The total (world) is enough for contrast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.142.65.164 (talk) 01:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitrary?

I would argue that it is arbitrary, and would like to see some references provided to argue that that is the rationale for it being 15-strong. After all, there's a gap of 45% between Spain and Italy; Italy and above is the G6 plus BRIC: a logical building block of its own. I realise that the reason for the disclaimer about arbitrariness is that editors don't want it to seem as if it's a Wikipedia construction, but we need to have references for these statements, people! Particularly, it must be said, if G15 overwhelmingly refers to the Group of 15 emerging and developing economies. Bastin 15:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
