¿cómo traduciriáis "as a whole" en el siguiente contexto?

Demanding tougher austerity conditions from countries such as Spain and Italy, however, would reinforce the division in the eurozone between debtors and creditors: “It is a step towards making a two-tier Europe permanent.”
Mr Soros, 82, will spell out his fears that such a split would lead to the eventual collapse of the currency union – and of the common market and the European Union as a whole – in a speech on Monday night in Berlin. He has also published a lengthy essay on the “tragedy” of Europe in the latest New York Review of Books.

Explanation:

Hello:

There are different ways to translate “as a whole” on the context of “…and of the common market and the European Union as a whole...”

Depending of the context, the English expression “as a whole” could be translated: “como una unidad”, “como un todo”, “en general”…


BILINGUAL VOCABULARY (related to the context)

1) English term “as a whole” = in Spanish “como una unidad” (Collins English Spanish Bilingual Dictionary)

2) English term “as a whole” = in Spanish “en general”, “como una todo” (Merriam-Webster)


TRANSLATION:

I think is a good translation to say: “…the European Union como una unidad…” or “the European Union como un todo…”


MY PROPOSAL:

These are my suggestions

1) - “…(the European Union) como una unidad…”

2) - “…(the European Union) como un todo…”

I hope this analysis helps you in your work.

Regards

Domingo
