pan-European
Across the continent
Pan-European describes something that spans or involves all of Europe, or at least multiple European countries acting together: pan-European trade agreements, a pan-European rail network.
The term appears frequently in discussions of the European Union, continental politics, and cross-border cooperation.
It can also describe cultural movements or identities that transcend national boundaries within Europe.
