I cannot agree more. The EU is an idiotic suicidal project from this point of view.

I completely agree with that outlook (sorry just seeing this video). I'm from the US, and I always say there is no best country for everyone. But each country could be the best for you. For the US, it is the best country but only for some people. For others it's Germany, or Netherlands, or Italy, or Japan, or China, or.... It all depends on what you are looking for in life and what they have for you and your desires/needs in a country.

We all knew Norway was going to win this though.

@@daniel4647 haha, kind of true, it has a big surplus of oil and gas revenues that ACTUALLY go towards it's people ;-). while at the same time it tries to build for a greener future! is there an other oil/gas exporting country that really want to lower it's production due to envirenmental impact and global warming? :) , The Netherlands mainly stopped cause of damaged houses due to the underground becoming less stable.. that is a very different reason..

@@JeroenJA Yes - there is a true dichotomy in Norway regarding the environment. They want a good social infrastructure for their people, and want to maintain the beauty of the country. At the same time, the majority of their income comes from fossil fuels, which in the long run will lead to messing things up for everyone - Norwegains included !

You are lucky ! This video is made to attract Americans, can you imagine your country full of expatriate Americans? Mine is in the list, plus the video recommends the countryside for price and quality of life; we already have many Parisians and English people coming there, we don't need any more flocks of Americans (a few here and there will be welcome). On the other hand, I like the Greeks who come to France, I find that French spoken with a Greek accent is super cute...

@@timCXVI True, the good times of Germany are over.

I mean, it's a top list, it's inherently opinion based, and I think most European countries have things to like and dislike about them; not to mention that your opinion may vary wildly depending on which region you're talking about in particular. I don't think there's much sense to argue which is "better" than anything else, unless you set out some objective criteria first, and then we can argue about the criteria lol

Neither Italy and England 😂

Actually, almost all the countries in Europe are doing well, which is why (I may sound like a conspiracy theorist) they want to destroy welfare, healthcare and rights.

Hi Helga. I am curious why Italy was not really for you but Greece became your new home? While I am aware that they are different enough, both are southern European (with Italy being partially non-Mediterannean and Greece being actually the Balkan country), not the most organised ones, and both tend to enjoy and celebrate life?

@@withoutshadowww in Italy gender roles are more stereotypical, social norms are tighter, there's more social pressure to conform to certain standards from my experience. Their approach towards the human being as a sexual being and as a spiritual being is very different from that in Greece, so there's a different way of treating each other. Greeks are socially more anarchic, but also more community oriented. I found Greeks to be more compassionate as people and more open about their emotions. Another difference is that Italians are very open to new friendships, Greeks are very friendly, but it's difficult to make friends, because they are very close with their larger family and childhood friends. In Italy I always felt like a foreigner, even though I spoke the language perfectly and was perceived as an Italian by people who didn't know me. I couldn't conform to all the social rules and the sexism. In Greece it took me far more time to learn the language and my appearance clearly tells I'm not Greek, but after 3 years I stopped feeling like a foreigner.

Well said. I don't appreciate rankings like that either. Mainly because they play countries against each other.

Whre did you live in Italy? I live in Milan and people are generally not like those you described .

Germany was ok for work but the rest is very average and not very interesting, i loved the black Forest and party in Berlin club but that's all...

BIG PROBLEMS. Why all the houses look like prisons with all the bars in the windows? My wife (Korean) ask me why in Castro Marim (Portugal), there are no protections in the houses, none of the houses have alarms, they don't have bars on the windows and doors and in less than 5 minutes by car cross the border to Spain and go to Ayamonte (Spain) all the houses have alarms, bars in doors and windows, the houses in Spain look more like prisons than houses.

@@arturjcrebelo3275 That is because we have gone to old and dangerous places, because where I live and the places I have visited in Spain, most of the houses did not have bars on the windows, and the alarms are something inexpensive and useful.

@@arturjcrebelo3275 HAHAHAHA what are u saying?spain is the most beautiful country in the world, who cares about alarms or something, r u joking?

Spain has got to be the slowest country in the EU. It took weeks to buy and register a car. It took months to get residencia. For some reason it takes a long time to get an appointment basically anywhere and again a long time before it is actually your turn. Shops are closed half the time (ok I'm exaggerating but they are closed a LOT during office hours). Banks prefer to be closed rather than open OMG. The tax system is from another planet. 5 people in the country speak English. Even young people. Or they are too shy I don't know. I helped my parents to settle there but I definitely wouldn't go there for something other than a holiday sorry. I definitely wouldn't start a business there. The tax is outrageous and nobody bleeping knows the rules. It's all a very long waiting game and I don't have the patience for it. The wine is dirt cheap though and restaurants are very affordable.

So an immigrant. You are an immigrant in Portugal.

@@HomemdaFaina Yes I live in Portugal but am not Portugues

Welcome to our country. Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you are happy here!

@@HomemdaFaina exactly... These people call themselves Expats because immigrants "is a bad word"... Even immigration has segregation nowadays...

That's absolutely true

Yes, especially in France, regions can be extremely different from one another... Even different benefits, in most of France healthcare is refunded 70% but in Alsace it is 90%

True

We had the wall for many years too. Changes to the better take time. You had Jaruselsky, Valensa and now Your infected DUDA nationalist not sollowing the EU treaty, where women are not living below macho men with equal rights for their own bodies. Old men shall nor decide what Yiung women(and men) do. See it like that. The tourists plant rees here. You might have some which might wish to be coalminer for a day supporting smog. And we do have tourists from Denmark as well as Poles having an employment rate of 0000. Its might be beacuse You are nearbye. Your old tribers such as sorbers, venders and abodrites even has plundred Denmark once or twice. You could sell Poland better. You have good beer.

There is a reason why people from these countries travel to countries further west to work, I suppose.

Usually the ones from Central and Eastern part of Europe are still unheard of, hidden gems so to speak. And I'd say, that's a good thing, for now, as it keeps costs low. There was a huge brain drain from East to West after the 90s, but from experience in Romania, I can tell that has stopped 3-4 years ago, and has actually reversed. And not only that, foreigners are starting to relocate here as well, to some people's displeasure. I live in Romania and I work in tech and make multiple 6-figures.

​@@MrDjTilo Don't think there is a difference despite the ego

@@MrDjTilo Of course. But i think the earth belongs to everyone. So i can`t be an expat of the earth.

False . >An expat is someone who has left his own country. When I lived in Portugal I was an expat, not an immigrant. It means I was there with a goal : work ! an immigrant comes there with only the idea of escaping his poor country. Belgium is not poorer than Portugal , but I had a job opportunity ! It makes a HUGE difference !

Yes absolutely, exceptionalism at it's best.

very well said!! or people who are immigrants but don't want to be associated with "IMMIGRANTS" hahaha😃

Expat is short for expatriate and originally means an employee who is sent out to a foreign country on a temporary basis to work for a branch office for example. This person might spend a couple years there and then return to their home country. An expat by definition isn't an immigrant because of the temporary situation. The term expat has to be the most misused word out there.

Portugal is great! The hidden gem of Europe. Greetings from Spain

Well..... it would help a lot if old industrial and derelict residential areas were allowed to be demolished and utilised for new housing here. Instead, the Neo-Liberal Government we've had for over a decade now seems more interested in either cutting down nature reserves or just not building new housing at all.

​@@Glazox_yes, Amsterdam together with the other major cities are having it the worst but overall housing prices are still ridiculous. It is getting better but slowly. If you want to live in the country side away from big cities...not so much a problem 😊.

@@Ivovify Thanks for answer

Can confirm, we paid 80 usd / month and one of the staff was amazing - important to note (while it should be obvious) that not all daycares are equal in terms of quality and it's always worth doing research / visiting them to get a feel if you want to have your child cared for there.

Oh wow, here in Norway its arround 320 USD. Which is still heavily subsidied. If you have several kids going there you pay less.

Daycare in Switzerland (Zürich) is ~ 100 franks (140 US$) per day. Having two kids is ~ 6000 US$ per month or 72.000 US$ per year.

You can think about rejoining in the future, when the situation with fishing rights, suprantionality and the old empire is clarified 😅. I think a lot of people in the EU miss you, I certainly do! Also somehow missing is the comedian Nigel Farage in the EU Parliament. British politics is often very comedic, (kindly meant) - order 😂 Lord Buckethead. Was really cool when Britain was still partying in the club. Visited there many times and my grandparents lived and worked there for 15 or 20 years. Although if you do rejoin at some point you'll have to change something about the border. When you took the ferry across the channel, there was a visible border during the EU time and border guards who liked to search you if you grinned at the camera. And maybe you can also think about a right-hand driving order and the metric system 😅 Would make a lot of things easier - sorry 😅

@@Eurograph Don`t be sorry. I`d throw my British Passport away tomorrow in favour of our recently surrendered European Union Passport. I`d rather have both - which we essentially had until giving one away in voting to leave the European Union. Some of us who voted for Brexit ( I`m not one of them, since I voted to `Remain` ) are waking up to the fact that we might - in theory - have stopped illegal immigration into this country ( er - I notice `boat people` are still arriving ) and denied ourselves the opportunity to have freedom to roam the European Continent.

@@Eurograph Nearly 50% of people in the UK didn't want to leave the EU and I was one of them. The British newspapers constantly lied about the EU and many people believed the lies. Because I have lived on the continent, I didn't. I think of Europe like it's a small village. Every house/family has had arguments in the past. We have burnt our neighbour's cars and thrown dog poo over the fence for centuries. Eventually we realised that continuing this way has made EVERYONE'S house prices go down. So we decided to clean up the neighbourhood and live happily as friends. And now the UK has decided to act like a teenager and retreat to his bedroom because he doesn't always get his way. One day we will join the community again... I hope. Then you can all invite us over for drinks and a barbeque.

I really hope that everyone comes together again in the end. The EU is far from perfect and has to work hard to improve its mistakes, as well as the big crises like the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, energy crisis, some Corona crisis aftermath, unfortunately there is a strong shift to the right across Europe that really worries me, but the idea of living closely and peacefully in friendship with each other as good neighbours, even family is so really important that I think it has to be defended more against the multiple crises! I love having the freedom to live and work where I want, no stupid border controls, or huge bureaucratic procedures with visa and co., also little things like being able to call from France with my German phone contract without paying more is great. OK, there are people and countries who think the Euro is stupid, in Germany there are even some people who want the German Mark back, but the Euro makes it possible to pay in many European countries without thinking about exchange rates or another monetary system, I think this is great! These are achievements for which I love the European idea! Also, through close relationships, you get to know each other, build deep relationships, maybe even adapt things from the other society for yourself and learn to love them. For example, my grandparents have a British red telephone box in their garden and my grandfather drinks almost exclusively PG Tips. And I myself am a fan of Earl Grey with a little milk. Now I just need to be able to buy scone and clotted cream somewhere in Germany - fortunately, British jams are available. You might also think that as a German citizen I only eat Nuremberg sausages, Frankfurters or currywurst. But I also love British breakfast sausages and my larder contains HP Original Brown Sauce, Sarson Malt Vinegar or Worcester Sauce. Lam with peppermint sauce also tastes great, fish and chip shops should be much more common in Germany and even things like haggis or porridge are great. Also what I find funny is that in Germany there are a lot of royals fans. When Charles was there recently, he was greeted more happily than the German President who was with him. Also things like ERASMUS, excursions to the UK, student exchanges, language courses, were super achievements. I hope that will come back (more) one day. But I believe that for there to be a chance of reunification, the current crises must first be overcome, stability and more well-being must return, the European states must overcome their shift to the right, which will be difficult, especially in cases like Hungary or now Italy, and we must learn to trust each other again, work together and improve the mistakes the EU has. Because everyone in Europe benefits from the European idea, even those who reject it.

It depends on where you live. We have high salaries in Switzerland, but the compulsory health care and insurance cost to myself and my wife, as a retired couple, is about CHF 12,000 per year. However, once we have an appointment, waiting more than 15 mins is virtually unheard of.

@@ksmyth999 Yes, I wrote most of Europe. CHF 12K seems like VERY expensive. Is this normal?

@@janhanchenmichelsen2627 I just made a check. If you are healthy and young (say about 30), you can get basic cover for about CHF 3,000 per year. We are retired and have more illnesses than younger people. So with one or two extras, we pay about twice as much. If you are a very low earner there is a cap and if the bills are excessive you can claim against tax. But the situation is actually worse than this, since dental insurance is separate and is so expensive that most people don't bother (it's not obligatory). Also, Dental costs are very expensive in Switzerland. At the moment these costs are more than compensated for by the high pay, good benefits whether employed or not, low unemployment, the beauty and facilities of the country and the public infrastructure especially the transport system which works like clockwork. However, if the health insurance and hospital infrastructure costs continue to rise at the same rate, this will become a burning issue. One of the problems is that we are all living much too long. :)

@@janhanchenmichelsen2627 Even in Germany and Netherlands a lot of people give between 200 and 500 Euros each month for health insurance.

Free education? Who do you think pays the whole schooling infrastructure and teacher‘s wages?

To add to that: Winter in the Nordic countries lasts FOREVER!!!!!! People there are very much antisocial because no one speaks to no one for months of the year.

Well, most "fellow" Swedes have voted to take in rapefugees for decades. There were less gun crimes before we had any gun control at all (pre 1927) but almost no immigrants from outside of Europe...

Norway is pretty big, actually 76% the size of Spain. And it's only the very top of the country, that lies above the arctic circle (36%). Very few people live there. Summer temperatures can vary from place to place, and it's not uncommon I hear they have a heatwave in Southern Norway, with +30°C. I wouldn't call that cold. If you take Spain inland, the weather is actually much like southern Norway, although it's thousands of kilometers further south.

Arme* bevolking van Brussel... 😢 Aan de ene kant; half Antwerpen is al vergeven van den domme 'ollanders, alhoewel je ook zou kunnen stellen dat dat simpelweg terugkeer is na enige eeuwen. ;-) Liefs & groetjes terug zuiderbuurtje. * Serieus, als je door Brussel loopt is het grappig om te tellen hoeveel talen je kan herkennen.

I love that it is based on income. Same with the charges for speeding in some Scandinavian countries. Seems way more fair

$ 148 per month?? In Switzerland ONE DAY of daycare costs that much

@@bennymuller3379 No, thats not correct. No Scandinavian country (Sweden, Norway and Denmark) have charges for speeding based on income. Finland has, but Finland is not part of Scandinavia.

Half of the year is darkness, but the other half is all light.. it takes a lot from the body and mind.. it's not for everyone, that's for sure..

there lives the Stark family...

Let them have a first hand the beautiful experience of endless winter and the joys of antidepressants😁

it's not dark half the year, that's a huge exaggeration, and when living here you are used to the winters and look forward to each season. The happiness here isn't because of weather or climate, but the safety, social equality, opportunities and so on. When you don't have to worry about being fired and losing your health insurance tied to a job, that makes people happy and content.

@@peacefulminimalist2028 exactly 👍

Best comment here.

Quite this. Living in Europe, i do not even see me getting out of this continent anytime soon.

Can you elaborate on that? I‘m curious!

@@Schnittwin The not appreciating part? Well, it's very easy to take what you have for granted, and when you're 7, 14, 18 og even 25 years old you probably don't reflect so much on how free healthcare and education and all the other benifits of living here affects your quality of life. We do however see the pros of living in the States through movies, TV-shows, and social media, and it looks grand... I still want to go there, but I would not ever consider bringing my family over permanentmy.

USA preserves that spirit of adventure, free market, no healthcare, guns and fast-food is something for young and crazy to try )) But I agree with you, the older I get, the more I want to stay in 'boring' Europe

@@vadym8713 They mean the mind to get fat, sick and shot so you go into debt to get cured, while losing your job because of it, because companies can hire and fire however they want because of FREEDOM. And for what? To buy one day a car so you can move to the clean and tidy suburbs, so you can spend 20% of your day on a traffic jam. And if your "crazy adventure" would involve getting the citizenship, then you'll pay the government for that madness tax, even if you move out. And especially if you got no qualification that has a good chance getting you a well payed job, e.g. in IT, then the chance is high, that you'll ruin yourself and settle for a low standard life, because education costs as well! So if everything works out well, you are fine. But if anything goes wrong (and chances for that are higher there than in Europe), then you are just screwed.

@@KjetilBalstad The only problem is that when we get old enough to appreciate the country, our bodies begin to crack in the joints and long for warmth. Good thing we have warm houses and enough firewood to compensate.

Expatriate means that your job force you to move to another country (so you're "expatriate"). So if you're american et has to live in Finland for your american company, you're an expat. (opposed to immigrate you chose to live and work in another country than their native country). But today, people use that term as an fancy way to say immigrate.

Crims', retirees............so many..........

Expat is term used by people who have immigrated to another country but don't like immigrants (usually, think that they are better).

It literally has a different definition

@@mercerwing1458 no, same definition expat /ˌɛksˈpat/ INFORMAL noun a person who lives outside their native country. adjective denoting or relating to a person living outside their native country immigrant /ˈɪmɪɡr(ə)nt/ noun a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.

@@KernowWarrior Keyword: permanently, that is a rather large difference.

@@mercerwing1458 not really is it tho.? Semantics, I'd hardly call it a totally different definition.

@@KernowWarrior It's not semantics. Expat is something that isn't permanent, most often for work purposes. And permanent is a HUGE difference.

Nordic for summer, anywhere else for winter: )

YES!!

If you can get a job in Switzerland with a technical organization, you can get away with only knowing English for a while. You will eventually have to learn the local language, Swiss German (different from high German), French or Italian. If you do live in the Reto Romanisch regions, most people there are also fluent in Swiss German.

I will not be expecting immigrants to speak finnish.. they will do just fine with english here..

If a Finnish service worker would have a French attitude towards paying customers every Finn would consider him/her an a**hole. (But don't expect "the customer is the king" attitude from them either.) If there's a language that you really can expect to be usable in Finland, it's first and foremost English (because some ethnic shops don't actually have Finnish-speaking staff, especially on the capital area). After that Finnish (well, spoken almost everywhere), and far beyond these two, Swedish. It may be true that not learning a word of Finnish on a longer stay would be bad manners and somewhat marginalise one especially regarding job prospects (but not really on the top end!), but at the same time I have to state that I know people who have moved to Finland decades ago, or even born here and still speak practically solely English because it's widely accepted especially on the capital area. If anything, Finns are overly eager to switch the language on social occasions if they feel forcing others to speak Finnish would embarrass them. Of course if you actually want to get a citizenship you have to show a bit more effort, but that's a different question. Many pass the citizenship test but if they have strong English skills may continue interacting with others in English indefinitely and frankly not many Finns (at least on capital area) are particularly offended.

Of course nothing is free. But yes, let's just pretend it is.

​@@Euxiphipops77 Se paga de los impuestos, pero cuando decimos gratis, es porque si un ciudadano no ha cotizado, se le atiende igual, si no tiene recurso la asistencia es igual y los medicamentos se los da gratuitamente, no se deja morir a un ciudadano por no poder pagarlo, cosa que no pasa en otros países, que también pagan impuestos,

@@marimari7276 So it is not free and it is not government's or the country's money. All that comes from people paying taxes. Thank you for agreeing with me on that.

​@@Euxiphipops77 You goddamn Americans always bring up taxes! Americans pay taxes, what do you get for them? Here in Portugal there is no paper work, everything is covered, no insurance company saying they won't pay for it, also we don't get astronomical bills sent to our homes afterwards.

@@Euxiphipops77 you really came here to try and make me sound dumb over a word? “Free”. I know where the money comes, free is a word I chose to use to further accentuate the difference between Spanish medical care from the USA. Of course we pay taxes, and even if our taxes still don’t take different incomes as variables, last I heard neither do over there. And still, I don’t believe we pay more taxes than an average states resident. That’s why I chose the word “free” even if it comes from our taxes, because with not much different between the two countries, we still don’t let people pass away from a treatable illness. We don’t need fundraisers for treatable illnesses. If someone does not work they still get medical care. A homeless person still gets medical care. My point still stands. Do you need me to specify anything else, further help, or can you get the general idea now?

I stopped reading at “mejor gastronomia del mundo”. Virtually nobody in the world except Spanish people would say so.

You should do a Europtrip once you hit "x" amount of subscribers! Do a fundraise or something and let some people tour you around! I love the US, I hope my comment doesn't get misinterpreted

That's true though, unfortunately! 😵

Six weeks of paid holiday for a middle-aged person working for some employers, one or two weeks for others, not a single day for small business owners (we can't afford to go inactive for such a long time). Incidentally, my husband and I own a small family firm.

6 weeks is crazy, haven't really seen that in Europe, the norm is like 4-5 I'm pretty sure

It's impossible for everything to be non-profit. Especially for fields like as Pharmacy. Those need the extra money to be able to grow and do better, not to mention that they have people working there who need to be paid.

The advantage is that you'll never run out of subject to chat about with foreigners as a Belgian ;-)

Yes, I would add those instead of France, Spain and a third.

And Italy too

yeah the whole Italy is a museum. Very beautiful. But I don't go there on vacations any more because Italy has now more rules than Switzerland. But I recommend Italy to everyone

there are rules in every country in the world, I don't think that even in the most remote and anarchic country in the world, you can go and do whatever the fuck you like

Greece and italy its a must and def into thé list....thats all b@llsh€ts!!!

chi, il paese zimbello d'europa ultimo d'europa in ogni classifica, da istruzione crescita economica trasporti infrastrutture tutto?di cui non frega niente a nessuno e tutti infatti scappano dal cessetto ita?ah, capisco.

@@oscarfunnyvideos italy is a third world s***hole

yeah... thats one of the big drawbacks of the EU, too many immigrants are let in. My country has a house shortage of 380.000 houses but they still let immigrants in and they even get priority over homes. Wish they just deported them instead

Why is that so surprising

@@headhunter1945 Because in the east, people are much warmer and welcoming. Because in the east, millennial traditions have been preserved. Because in the east the nature has been preserved untouched, there are forests untouched for hundreds of years, because in the east the prices are extremely low, with little money you can live well, because in the east we have some of the best, in terms of speed and cheap internet connections. Because in the east, many westerners are already retiring to live in retirement. Because in the East we eat naturally and not as processed as in the West... there is a lot to tell. I remembered, in Romania we have around 10,000 bears, how many are there in the western countries? We have the Danube Delta with tens of thousands of species that benefit from the protection of a national park and UNESCO.

@@dancoman1798 Untouched nature? The top most wanted on EUropol were brothers who illegally cut down whole forests in eastern Europe. The Danube delta is almost completely canalised & groups like Mossy Earth are trying to bring back flood plains. It really is quite annoying that eastern Europeans try to stye themselves as being more pure. I think it might be out of a self-inflicted sense of inferiority, which is stupid. Particularly when it takes the form of bashing "others" like some politicians(Hungary) or religions are doing.(orthodox patriarchs) People are people. And some people would do well to remember the tale of the rat catcher of Hamelen. I do agree with Greenol that it's not surprising, because these kinds of lists are always overlooking eastern Europe. But these kinds of lists are stupid anyway, this one particularly because it doesn't say anything about their criteria. If you put Portugal on the list because it's cheap, you could also say Bulgaria, Romania or Moldavia. If you put Finland on the list because of children, why not mention the Netherlands? This video has more mistakes. Belgium has 3 languages, but not the ones mentioned. The number of countries varies with how you count but is 45-51 etc.

​@@LeafHuntress When is the last time you travelled to those countries, those specific locations are PACKED with visitors because of the nature 🙄

@@LeafHuntress Just a few remarks regarding nature... The last European wild rivers with rich biodiversity can be found in the Balkans. It's terrifying how regulated and ugly the rivers in Western Europe are. In the Balkans the Adriatic sea can be found -- so much overcrowded by Western European tourists in summer. The last primal forests of Europe can be found in one Eastern European country and in one Balkan country. The highest canyon of Europe is in the Balkans, as well as the highest diversity of birds, as well as the most southern European fjord. What about the wolves and bears -- in much of Western Europe they have been exterminated, but not in Eastern Europe... they even brought recently some bears from Eastern Europe/the Balkans to Italy and France, in order to diversify their ecosystems, right? Don't be aggressive because your country doesn't have anything apart from... flat land and sandy dunes.

Read the local news, as we always do in Australia! Spain, Italy & France are too expensive! Greece only accepts Greeks. Turkey is Muslim! Monaco is only for billionaires! The Netherlands is full! Britain is in crises! Germany has many issues! Etc! Look outside KZfaq! 🤔

yes, you can, but if you are living here you will have to wait a long time for surgery or appointments that are not considered critical. Its better than some other countries but there is a reason many Spanish people have private health insurance.

I think you never went out of a Spain . In Spain the Save my life twice. And if is very urgent you have th operation. Don’t say things that are not true. If it is serious and urgent, you going to Emergency department and if necessary you get the operación.

@@rosep964 what did I say that is not true? I have lived more than 10 years in Spain and years more in other European countries
