<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2064799, member: 71234&quot;]EU stands for European Union, EU would be an abbreviation for Europe possibly, if anyone used it , but they don&#039;t. Except possiblty for US journalists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Norway is in Europe geographically, subsection Scandinavia but is not in the EU. The Channel Islands are not in the EU, and neither are the Canary Islands. Gibraltar is not in the EU. And of course Switzerland is not in the EU although it is surrounded by European countries, has special trade agreements with the EU and Switzerland is a Schengen country in a customs free travel zone that reaches from Hungary to Portugal in the east and west, and from Finland to Malta in the north and south.and includes Norway (not in the EU) and excludes Britain and Ireland (in the EU)</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that&#039;s all clear now. Anyone who equates Europe with the EU has a fair chance of being right with a local reference, if for example they are talking about France, but they are quite wrong if&nbsp; they are referring to the geographical Europe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
