FootnotesEdit

1. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^{{#if:| }} Algeria was part of France until 1962.
2. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^{{#if:| }} German reunification in 1990 led to the inclusion of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic. This enlargement is not explicitly mentioned. Data for Germany in all tables is from current statistics.
3. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^{{#if:| }} Greenland left the EC in 1985.
4. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^{{#if:| }} Officially the whole of Cyprus lies within the European Union. "In light of Protocol 10 of the Accession Treaty 2003 Cyprus as a whole entered the EU, whereas the acquis is suspended in the northern part of the island ("areas not under effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus"). This means inter alia that these areas are outside the customs and fiscal territory of the EU. The suspension has territorial effect, but does not concern the personal rights of Turkish Cypriots as EU citizens, as they are considered as citizens of the Member State Republic of Cyprus"[5].
