Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, reported in July that the population of the EU27 has now surpassed the 500 million mark, with a population increase of 1.4 million during 2009. This increase is largely due to immigration, with just 500,000 of this total explained by a natural growth in the population (ie : the net growth after births and deaths are taken into account). The population changes varied widely across Member States, with the largest relative increase standing at 17.2% in Luxembourg and the largest decrease at -6.2% in Lithuania.
