[edit] Small European countries or territories not members of the European Union
In maps of the European Union the resolution often fails to correctly describe that some smaller countries or territories in Europe are not members or part of the European Union. Most of these territories or states are closely related to members of the European Union, e.g., to manage their defence or foreign policy, and most also have close relations to the European Union, e.g., some are using the euro currency. However, they are formally not members and therefore neither are governed by, nor benefiting from, all treaties and agreements valid within the European Union. They are:
- The three British Crown dependencies The Bailiwick of Guernsey, The Bailiwick of Jersey, and Isle of Man.
- The Faroe Islands, an autonomous region of European Union member state Denmark.
- The principalities of Andorra, Liechtenstein, and Monaco.
In addition to these small non-EU states or territories, there are also others which formally are part of the European Union but for which special arrangements have been agreed upon. See the article on Special member state territories and their relations with the European Union.
