Based on the statements provided regarding the map, the most accurate conclusion, if the map illustrates the European Union and its member countries, would be:
Former communist countries have been left out of the European Union.
This conclusion indicates that some countries that were once under communist regimes may not be part of the EU, reflecting historical and political contexts.
The other statements are likely inaccurate:
- Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia do share common legal traditions due to their EU membership, but they are independent nations with their systems.
- Portugal and Spain are both independent countries and members of the EU.
- While there may be agreements in place allowing movement between EU member states, this does not specifically relate to Bulgaria and Ireland without further context from the map.
