Kosovo*

The EU does not refer to Kosovo as "Kosovo*". The asterisk is a reference to a footnote. This is idiotic. 72.12.108.35 (talk) 11:13, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia and Kosovo

Georgia and Kosovo are not recognized by the EU as candidate countries. [1]https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:Candidate_countries Kornelius111982 (talk) 17:11, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia has a European perspective since 23 June 2022 and should be grouped with the potential candidates for all practical purposes.The European Perspective AND Candidate Country is not the same thing.

Kosovo "candidate country" status has not yet been granted! Kornelius111982 (talk) 17:13, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is my table too big?

A while ago, I made an extensive table covering economic metrics of EU states in 1998. It's pretty big already, but I found a few more metrics that I think are notable. I'm not sure if I should go ahead though. What do you think? Too big already? Transylvania1916 (talk) 18:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That table is already 1.5x the size of the page. What is the secondary source suggesting all the existing metrics were this relevant for EU ascension? CMD (talk) 00:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They just paint a broad picture for that moment in time. Turns out a lot of stats are available for a country when it's a EU candidate. Transylvania1916 (talk) 10:45, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greenland

In the gif that shows the expansion of Europe, what happens to Greenland? Technically it still remains part of Denmark and therefore of the EU, right? 2A02:A420:47:F0C0:809B:51FF:FEA6:91B8 (talk) 07:27, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but is substantially autonomous. It is not part of Denmark itself. See its article. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 22:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Algeria a member of EEC from 1962 to 1976?

There is an ongoing discussion in the article on Algeria–European Union relations whether Algeria was a member of EEC after it gained independence 1962, until 1976. It would be good if more people could contribute to this discussion. Nablicus (talk) 18:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
