the EU needs to clearly define its borders
What for? That was not at all clear to me from the article...
I wonder how Emmanuel Todd would react to this. (Todd claimed that the notion that 'we have to draw a line' in a continuum is central to Anglo-Saxon thinking and comes from inheritance customs, while it isn't present in French/Romanesque thinking, also due to inheritance customs.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

What for?
Council of Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article 4 of the Council of Europe Statute specifies that membership is open to any "European" State. This has been interpreted liberally from the beginning (when Turkey was admitted) to include any Eurasian state with a toe-hold in Europe. As a result, nearly all European states have acceded to the Council of Europe, with the exception of Belarus (human rights concerns) and Kazakhstan (human rights concerns) as well as Kosovo which is not considered an independent state by some Council of Europe member states.
