Footnotes

1 Although the whole of Cyprus became part of the European Union on 1 May 2004, EU legislation only applies to the Republic of Cyprus, the Greek southern part of the island. EU legislation is suspended in the internationally unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Northern Cyprus is therefore de facto not part of the EU. 2 French Guiana is a French dpartement d'outre-mer, and as such is fully part of France and the EU. 3 Montenegro will hold a referendum in 2006 on whether to remain in union with Serbia, or to become fully independent. Therefore, come 2007, the state of Serbia and Montenegro may no longer exist, and only Serbia would still border EU members.
