The G-20 includes EU member states France, Germany, Italy and the UK. The European Union as a whole is also a G20 member and is represented by the European Commission and the rotating presidency of the EU's Council of Ministers, currently held by the Czech Republic.

Other members of the group are: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and the US.
G20 countries account for around 90% of global gross national product, 80% of world trade (including EU intra-trade) and two-thirds of the world's population.
