Re: Faroes (4.00 / 2)

I fail to see the point in that, given that none of those countries wants to join the EU...

This article is about Faroes - a self-governing part of Denmark - wanting a structured relationship with the EU, not wanting to join. Considering they are partly part of Denmark (same royalty, elects two Danish MPs) if they wanted to join I think that would be a larger problem.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Re: Faroes (4.00 / 2)

The interesting thing about this is that Denmark negotiated for its "overseas" territories to be out of the EU, and the first thing that Greenland did when it got home rule was to get out of the EU. Now these bits of Denmark want to get back in...
