spanish north africa?

surely this map should properly include the enclaves of spanish territory on the north african coast as part of the E.U.? Lx 121 (talk) 04:00, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

(& is this map up-to-date re:new member states?) Lx 121 (talk) 04:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

The map is up to date. The map highlights the OMR and OCT defined by the EU treaties. Exclaves and other special territories like Ceuta, Helgoland, Gibraltar etc. are something different. --Alexrk2 (talk) 15:00, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I had the same question about why this map is missing parts of Spain in North Africa AND the corresponding territorial waters. I understand there's a distinction between an exclave and an overseas territory. But look, if tiny Greek islands that are a stone's throw from Turkey have miniscule blue dots and light blue territorial waters, shouldn't Spanish North Africa have a tiny dot and a tiny part of the mediterranean sea, too?

Various problems with the Map

1. According to the most recent official maps published by the European Union, the associate member state of Turkey and the candidate member-states also of Turkey as well as others such as Iceland, Croatia and the Republic of Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), are always included, and they too should be coloured, although perhaps differently; green, for example, rather than blue.

2. Since that the Netherlands-Antilles had long been abolished and dissolved, their yellow star should be replaced with five yellow stars, for Curação, Bonaire, Sint Maarten (Dutch North Saint Maarten), Saba and Sint Eustatius.

3. The full official name of the Pitcarin Islands is actually "the Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands", with the capital (and sole) settlement (named Adamstown) on Pitcairn Island. [1] [2]

4. Bermuda should most definitely be given a different star, neither a blue one nor a yellow one, in order to better reflect its special status with the European Union amongst other fellow OCTs. [3]

5. The Falkland Islands (Las Islas Malvinas) [4] as well as South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (Georgia del Sur y las Islas Sandwich del Sur) [5] are all claimed by Argentina (the Argentine; the Argentinian Republic).

6. Parts or all of the British Antarctic Territory is formally claimed by both Argentina and Chile as well as informally claimed by Brazil.

7. The British Indian Ocean Territory is claimed by both Mauritius and the Republic of the Seychelles Islands. [6]

8. Mayotte is claimed by the Union of the Comoros. [7]

9. Parts of the Islands of the French Southern and Antarctic Territory (TAAF) are claimed by Madagascar, the Union of the Comoros and Mauritius. [8]

1) There's no need to include candidates here, as it shows the current EU.

2) New stars would be useful here.

3) There's no reason we have to use the entire official name.

4) Bermuda has a footnote, as it does in the source you provided.

5-9) Aside from Antarctica, these are areas an EU member state exercises control. There's no need to note every claim. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 11:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, Greenland (not member of the EU) is marked but the Faroe Islands (not members either) are not. So either the Faroes should be marked aswell or Greenland removed. Any'd work by me. Mulder1982 (talk) 16:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Where's South Sudan? 174.113.217.132 04:25, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Mayotte is a French territory, it doesn’t matter if Comoros claims it. There’s not any point to mention it. LyonnaisLozannais (talk) 02:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Clipperton

Clipperton island is missing and its EEZ. I think the star must be in blue. Kisscool57 (talk) 20:16, 5 October 2013 (UTC) Or maybe not pointed with a star ...not sure its an OCT or an OMR : I think is an integral part of the EU.

The island of Clipperton is neither OMR nor OCT so is not included here, since this map is only about OCTs and OMRs specified by the EU treaties. --Alexrk2 (talk) 19:09, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

But shouldn't Clipperton's EEZ at least be shown, just as the EEZs for the mainland EU states are? By the way, this is an outstanding map - thank you for your work! GeoEvan (talk) 14:48, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Antartic EEZ

It doesn't exist. The Terre Adélie and the British Antartic Territory" stop at the border of see/land.

The red areas are no EEZ but Territorial claims south of 60° S parallel. --Alexrk2 (talk) 19:14, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Reflect Brexit

Map doesn't reflect Brexit. This will simply the map of course... — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 165.225.12.193 (talk) 20:48, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

"The map is made before brexit so the UK is staying on"

I see a revert note similar to this (exact text: The image includes UK territories, and was made prior to Brexit; please keep the UK in the map as part of the European Union for this reason) but i find this logic absolutely wrong on the Wikipedia project, which itself started 15 days after the end of 2000. However, assuming the editor is in the right, i also request these articles be removed as they happened after wikipedia was made.

On-going dialogues on how this image is out of date or incorrect

There's on-going discussion on what is missing from this image (such as Clipperton Island, plus Antartica claims, etc.) and how this is out of date at: * [9] I never noticed UK's Gibraltar for example was also missing. CaribDigita (talk) 07:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
