Island territories[edit]

Is it just my eyes, or are the Isle of Man, Channel Islands, and Faeroe Islands all blue on this map? They should be gray. — Ipoellet (talk) f.k.a. Werewombat 04:32, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UK status[edit]

Since this map might be used in places where Brexit is not relevant (yet), I propose UK is coloured just like the rest of the EU member states, until Brexit is actually finalized. UK is still a full-fledged EU member state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merkhet (talk • contribs) 07:46, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Former member states[edit]

Greenland, Algeria and the United Kingdom are all former EEC/EU member states; Greenland and Algeria should be coloured accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sertod (talk • contribs) 04:30, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Greenland should be highlighted as former EU applicant.
Not sure about Algeria. It is a member of Union for the Mediterranean, which is currently not a path to EU membership. --FakTNeviM (talk) 11:30, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Armenia by green colour, and separate colour (maybe brown) for other two[edit]

Eastern Partnership countries Belarus and Azerbaijan, which are currently not on their path to the EU membership, should be highlighted by separate colour, because they participate in Eastern Partnership, but not signed any further association agreement.

This map file dispays de jure status of further EU enlargement. Armenia, Belarus and Azerbaijan have not expressed any interest in joining, currently do not have an agreement or formal promise from the EU for such a possibility. Besides that, Armenia and Belarus are members of the Eurasian Economic Union, which is incompatible with a potential EU membership. This map is not supposed to highlight these countries. Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia are aligned with the EU market via the DCFTA unlike Armenia, which is aligned with Russia via the Eurasian Economic Union.

@Concus Cretus Thanks for your response. I did not see it earlier. You're right. Azerbaijan, Belarus and Armenia do not seek membership at the moment. However, they are receiving funds and support in all areas within Eastern Partnership framework {Azerbaijan, Belarus, Armenia}. I did not know that some of them are already in the Eurasian Union. However, Armenia-EU_Comprehensive_and_Enhanced_Partnership_Agreement is a tool and possible bridge in cooperation with Armenia, and possible future cooperation between EU and EAU. It is sort of unresolved issue, somewhat similar to status of Kosovo, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbia seems to be unclear whether is actually seeking membership or not. And Western Balkans countries maybe not believing EU that they can actually ever join at all. In the recent news from https://europeanwesternbalkans.com/ and https://eeas.europa.eu/diplomatic-network/eastern-partnership_en "The decision on starting negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania is primarily about the credibility of the EU." Thus, if these two countries won't be accepted to join, then all other countries will get an impression it won't ever happen for themselves too. It is evident that EU's credibility is at stake.
@Concus Cretus Also, these two countries, as well as Turkey and Montenegro, are already members of NATO.

NATO relations in Europe
I am not sure but it was a traditional prerequisite for EU Enlargement to be a NATO member firstly. The only exceptions were some neutral states.
Thanks for creating this powerful map for Commons! Take care.

Moldova[edit]

Hi all, Whoever has the rights, please change Moldova to “declared candidate” color (lightest blue), as it was done recently for Ukraine and Georgia, since Moldova applied yesterday too, just after Georgia. I wanted to do it but apparently the page is protected so I couldn't upload the updated file. Thank you in avance. SenseiAC (talk) 14:08, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted version[edit]

Hello, @Loode-Boreaallane: I would like to know why me version of the map from April 8, 2022 was reverted on April 12, 2022? — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because, the last version was more accurate. Boreaallane (talk) 17:17, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Loode-Boreaallane, what specifically was more accurate? — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 17:18, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The colours... Boreaallane (talk) 17:20, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Would you mind to make a full statement and explain all the thing about colours in the version you reverted back from previous one? — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 17:24, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And the ping @Boreaallane that I forgot — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 17:25, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tell me, what is the exact difference between the last version and the version of yours? Boreaallane (talk) 17:27, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hm… O-okay. Exact difference was only in the colours of Recognised by the EU as potential candidates which have submitted an application. I replaced light blue colour for those countries by violet colour to add more contrast between the countries colours and white borders that divide them. In Russian-speaking Wikipedia, there was a report that Ukraine has wrong borders, and I agree, because the white border on light blue colour between Moldova and Ukraine was hard to notice. What would you say on that? — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 17:37, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We are used to the light blue colour, thank you for your time. Boreaallane (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Boreaallane, who are those we are? — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 20:06, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia[edit]

According to the official website, these three countries aren't recognised by the EU as potential candidates, despite they have submitted applications to the bloc. So I have coloured them in green to reflect their status. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:51, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bosnia is now a candidate and Kosovo is an applicant[edit]
