Italian term or phrase: Unione europea dei ventisette.
La consapevolezza dei limiti e delle ristrette prospettive dell’Europa “sociale” - rispetto anche alle attuali esitazioni che pongono in discussione il futuro stesso della costruzione comunitaria europea - ha indotto ad affrontare peculiarmente gli aspetti sociali dello sviluppo economico europeo, indagando le attività di una singolare Commissione istituita dai sei Paesi che gettarono le fondamenta dell’odierna Unione europea dei ventisette.

EU 27


Explanation:
Miriam's answer is of course correct, the EU currently consists of 27 member states.

Writers often refer to the "EU 27" in order to draw a contrast between the EU as a whole and other levels of organization within the EU, such as the eurozone countries (EU 17), or the two countries which have an opt-out clause of many EU treaties (EU 26 for the EU minus the UK or EU 25 minus Denmark and the UK). So the idea behind "EU 27" is for effect, as in "all 27 member states of the EU and not only the euro countries, or the Benelux core, of the Franco-German couple, or the Northern economies, etc.

This is the concise form.
