<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Are Greenland and the Faroes part of the EU at all?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I don&#39;t think so. Greenland was originally included when Denmark joined the <br/>
EEC in 1973, but seceded in 1979 (in fact the only country ever to leave <br/>
the EU). I don&#39;t think the Faroes were ever part of the EU.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;I thought they were simply Danish just like the Channel Islands and <br/>
&gt;Falkland Islands are<br/>
&gt;British.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>You have to be careful. I understand the British Crown Dependencies (the <br/>
Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey, and the Isle of Man) are formally <br/>
considered to be members of the EU, but have opted out of certain aspects.<br/>
<br/>
I attempt to maintain the following list for work-related reasons, but I <br/>
can&#39;t find definitive answers about some of the outlying national <br/>
territories (e.g. Bouvet Island, Canary Islands). The status of Andorra, <br/>
San Marino, Holy See and Monaco is also unclear as it would seem they have <br/>
special arrangements with the EU, but neither are they formally part of the <br/>
EEA. However, feel free to suggest any corrections...<br/>
