Convoluted sentence

The European Union — and its European Single Market, a single market which seeks to guarantee the free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour – the "four freedoms" – within its 28 to 27 member states, also involved in international trade negotiations — might also appears in some lists.

Multiple problems:

usage of en dashes and especially em dashes is dubious
space before and after em dashes doesn't seem to be typographically correct
grammatical error ("might also appears")
"its 28 to 27 member states" ??
redundancy: in the respective lists, the EU is already provided with a note which more or less explains that the EU is not a country and why it is included

Therefore, I propose deleting or changing the aforementioned sentence. --2003:F6:2716:A400:99C7:4385:4369:B54 (talk) 12:46, 20 December 2019 (UTC) DATA FROM UNITED KINGDOM SHOULDN´T BE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION In both the GDP Nominal and at PPP, data from the UK shouldn´t be included in the EU.--88.3.139.225 (talk) 00:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

World bank citation for different year and data

I downloaded the pdf source for the World Bank list (http://databank.worldbank.org/data/download/GDP_PPP.pdf, currently citation number 6) The data is for year 2018, not 2017, and the data (for the first few entries at least) does not match the the data in the article. The article was last edited February 18, so it doesn't look like the list is in the process of being updated with more current information. Am I missing something?--Wikimedes (talk) 02:54, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
