Acc. to my info, this was on Feb. 1, 1985.<br/>

I think this is because the Faroe islands already had home rule in <br/>
1973 and could decide for themselves. Greenland only got home rule in <br/>
1979 (May 1st).<br/>

<br/>
The Canary Islands are, as far as I know, a normal Spanish region, <br/>
consisting of two provinces, and definitely part of the EU because <br/>
they are a part of Spain proper.<br/>
<br/>
Bouvet: it is a &quot;Biland&quot;, but whether that means anything in terms of <br/>
membership of the EEA I don&#39;t know. Well, no one is living there or <br/>
doing anything there that might care...<br/>
