The Total Population is 493.2 million.
If we take 10 meters of cloth per person than the total cloth consumption in EU countries is around 4932 million meters of cloth required in EU countries.
Lets now go to other EU candidate countries for this exercise these are:-.
(28) Croatia.4.4 million
(29)Former Republic of Macedonia - 2.05
(30).Turkey.- 71.5
The population of these countries are:-
The total of (A) = 493.2 + 77.95 = 571.15 million people. = (B)
The requirement of cloth of these 3 countries will be = 5711 million sq meters.
Lets now go to other EU Countries they are:-
(31) Albania - 3.6 million
(32) Andorra - 0.08 million
(33) Armenia - 3.0 million
(34) Azerbaijan - 8.1 million

(45) Serbia - 7.4 million
(46) Switzerland - 7.6 million
(47) Ukraine 45.7 million
(48) Vetican City State - 0.0008 million.
The Total Population of these 19 countries who are the other countries outside the EU are:-
19 Countries = 249.7708 persons - (C)
Total of (A) + (B) + (C) = 8209 persons.
The total requirement of cloth of all the above countries will be 82,090 million sq meters.
Will it be possible for these countries to produce so much as 82090 million sq meters of cloth.
