Kosovo

Since when UN officially unrecognised states like Kosovo are included on maps. In that way Abkhazia and S. Ossetia must be included. Otherwise this is simple an Imperialist propaganda.

It should be green, as it's part of the SAP. —Nightstallion 11:55, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

One could also say that the borders on this map are based on the majority view among EU member states. - SSJ ☎ 14:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for adding Kosovo. I think the country should also be included on your other EU-maps like "Union for the Mediterranean (lambert azimuthal projection).svg". --Kolja21 (talk) 20:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Israel

Can anyone explain why Israel now includes the 'Occupied Territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip'? If not, this should be rectified, as these are not the internationally recognised borders --Luke w (talk) 13:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Because they control them/occupy them. they are more israeli then independent. --86.132.74.250 (talk) 07:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

But these show political borders, as no state recognizes Israel's occupation, there's no way you can state Israel has legal personality in the occupied territories. This is not a map that shows military spheres of influence, if it were, the map would be correct.Olyus (talk) 20:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Anglesey

Can anyone explain why the island of Anglesey is coloured in green. This is a part of the EU as it is a part of Wales/UK unlike the Isle if Mann and the channel islands which are independent British dependencies/ protectorates. Anglesey needs to be light blue.

Missing countries

San Marino should be green, and Andorra, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Greenland and Azerbaijan should be yellow. See List of European Union member states by accession for sources. —Nightstallion 09:24, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Yepp ok, I've fixed the British Isles as well. - SSJ ☎ 17:33, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Great, thanks. —Nightstallion 21:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Croatia and FYROM

Why are these two countries with a different colors (light and dark yellow stripes)? This is not in the legend ... Miguel.mateo (talk) 04:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Both part of SAP and in accession negotiations. —Nightstallion 00:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Iceland

Iceland's new prime minster, having run on a pro-EU platform and been elected, has said she plans to apply immediately. in which case I think Iceland should now be shown on the map as Interested rather than in debate. Olyus (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Andorra

It is not clear what colour is used for Andorra. Can it be changed? --Dima1 (talk) 13:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Color scheme and "Membership debate"

I like the baby-blue of the map. But is their any reason, why it is used? Europe has his own flag and its color should be used to identify the union. Second problem with the map: The selection of the membership debate-countries seems to be accidental. Who talks about Azerbaijan or Greenland as members of the EU? We have basic laws like the article 49 of the Amsterdam Treaty and the Copenhagen criteria, which rules the European enlargements. Why not using them for a serious basis? --Kolja21 (talk) 19:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I used bright colours because black label text can easily be seen. E.g. Template:European Union Labelled Map (blue). SSJ ☎ 12:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Iceland again

The Althing voted narrowly to apply for membership on 16 July. Methinks this warrants a change in the map. Lockesdonkey (talk) 15:43, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
