  European Article Numbering-Uniform Code Council
European Article Numbering-Uniform Code Council (EAN-UCC) is the international organization of product barcodes that are printed on almost everything that is sold in stores worldwide.
Uniform Code Council (UCC) is the Numbering Organisation in the USA to administer and manage the EAN·UCC system standards in the USA and Canada.
The book codes are constructed by prefixing the ISBN number with 978 and 979 and recalculating the trailing checksum digit, because the ISBN and EAN.UCC codes use different algorithms for this.

 Barcode Online Reference
The European Article Numbering system, or EAN, is a superset of the UPC symbology that was introduced in 1978.
EAN scanners can decode both UPC and EAN barcodes, but UPC scanners built before 1978 may not be able to decode EAN barcodes.
This is because the EAN symbology is derived from the UPC symbology.

This code is now called the International Article Number; however, the EAN abbreviation remains.
The difference between EAN-13 and UPC (A) is that EAN-13 encodes a 13th number into the left six number of a UPC (A) symbol.
This number is designed for use on publications and periodicals and appears as an additional bar code to the right of the main bar code.

 European Telephony Numbering Space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the interest in forming a trans-Europe numbering plan as an option (or future movement) for anyone needing multi-national European telephone presence, the ITU allocated country calling code +388 as a subdivided, catch-all container for such services.
It is therefore not possible to reverse engineer the location of an owner of an ETNS number based on the characteristics of the phone number.
The numbers are also not allocated in blocks to individual carrier companies and are therefore intended to be portable.

 Bar Code Détente: U.S. Finally Adds One More Digit: SNX.com News
The difference between the American and the European bar code standards, as it so often is in computing, is a matter of digits.
When the Europeans set up their bar code in 1977, patterned after the American standard, they reasonably decided that they needed extra digital space for more products and identifying countries.
EAN International, based in Brussels, and the Uniform Code Council, based in Lawrenceville, N.J., will be folded into one organization, called GS1, next year.

Because the EAN is similar to the UPC, the same limitations exist for its use.
Each retailer has 35,000 retailer assigned numbers to use, but since this system has been in existence for the past quarter of a century, most of their numbers have been utilized.
The two global organizations that administer and control the numbering methodology, the EAN and the UCC, have combined efforts and have developed a new family of symbology called Reduced Space Symbology (RSS).

An EAN-13 symbol contains the number of bars as UPC Version A, but encodes a 13th digit from the character set pattern of the left-hand 6 digits, in the same manner as the encodation of the check digit in a UPC Version E symbol.
Each country has a coding authority (or numbering association) which assigns codes to manufacturers and maintains a central database.
