<div id="ygrps-yiv-270740655">I think the general idea here is a border dispute that could get out of<br/>
hand (i.e. between neighbours that aren&#39;t particularly nice towards<br/>
eachother). Even the Netherlands and Germany have a boundary dispute<br/>
(in the Eems river estuary). Surely not such disputes are meant.<br/>
<br/>
I don&#39;t think that it is a very firm requirement, and it certainly<br/>
doesn&#39;t apply to countries that are already members. The requirement<br/>
seems to have been thought up with a possible EU-membership of Turkey<br/>
in view (border trouble with Greece). I don&#39;t know whether this<br/>
requirement has been mentioned by the EU in connection with Lithuania<br/>
becoming a member, or that it is just Russia here bringing it up.<br/>

&gt;   &gt; recent one? There are several current EU members with outstanding<br/>
&gt; border<br/>
&gt;   &gt; disputes, the most obvious being UK/Spain, Spain/Morocco and<br/>
&gt;   Greece/Turkey.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;   and Ireland/UK   (over Rockall)<br/>
