Encyclopedia > Special member state territories and their relations with the EU
Two parts of the Treaty of Rome deal with special relationships: Article 299 which sets out the territories to which the treaty applies, supplemented by the accession treaties; and Articles 182-188 and Annex II on association with the non-European countries and territories which have special relations with the member states. The Treaty of Rome signing ceremony Signatures in the Treaty The Treaty of Rome refers to the treaty which established the European Economic Community (EEC) and was signed by France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg on March 25, 1957. ...
The outermost regions are the 7 regions: 4 of France, 2 of Portugal, 1 of Spain) where European Union law applies, but where it is possible to derogate to common EU legislation to take account of their remoteness. The European Union is unique among international organisations in having a complex and highly developed system of internal law which has direct effect within the legal systems of its member states. ...
The overseas countries and territories (OCTs) are 21 countries that have a special relationship with one of the Member States of the European Union: 12 with the UK, 6 with France, 2 with the Netherlands, 1 with Denmark. Together with other countries they benefit from the European Development Fund (EDF) [1], but not the Regional policy. The Regional policy of the European Union is a policy with the stated aim of improving the economic well being of certain regions in the EU. Around one third of the EUs budget is devoted to this policy, the aim of which has been stated to be to remove...
Although OCTs are not subject to most parts of EU law, Articles 182-188 of the Treaty of Rome, OCTs are - in theory at least - subject to restrictions on their tariff regimes with the European Union and EU law in the area of freedom of establishment. Image File history File links European_flag. ...

Cyprus
Northern part of the island Although the whole island became part of the European Union on 1 May 2004, EU legislation applies only to the Greek (southern) part of the island (Republic of Cyprus). EU legislation is suspended in the Turkish northern part of the island, also known as the internationally non-recognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, after a referendum on reunion failed in the south. Turkish Cypriots living there are nonetheless fully European citizens and were entitled to vote at European Parliament election 2004 (though only a few hundred registered).

Buffer zone Protocol 10 annexed to the treaty of accession of Cyprus to the European Union divides the island into those areas controlled by the government of the Republic and those not. It is a moot point whether anyone but the UN controls the UN buffer zone, as the zone is uninhabited, apart from the one mixed Greek and Turkish village — Pyla, east of Larnaka. According to the Protocol the Council of the European Union "shall define the terms under which the provisions of EU law shall apply to the line between those areas referred to in Article 1 [i.e. northern Cyprus] and the areas in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus exercises effective control". However, this mainly refers to whether the line is treated as an external border of the EU for the purposes of imports and immigration, and so governs what happens at the four crossing points rather than inside the buffer zone. There is also a town called Pyla in Greece, see Pyla, Greece. ...

Denmark
Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are not part of the EU, as explicitly asserted by both Rome treaties. Moreover, a protocol to the treaty of accession of Denmark to the European Communities stipulates that Danish nationals residing in the Faroe Islands are not to be considered as Danish nationals within the meaning of the treaties. Hence, Danish people living in the Faroes are not citizens of the European Union.
Greenland Greenland is not a member of the European Union. When the original Danish referendum on EEC membership took place, Greenland was still an integrated part of Denmark and had no home rule. The results in Greenland showed a majority of 70% against joining the EEC. However, since the referendum was won in the whole country, the territory joined along with the rest of Denmark.
After the establishment of Greenland's home rule in 1979 (effective from 1980), a new referendum on membership was held, where the people decided to leave the community. On February 1, 1985, Greenland left the EEC and EURATOM. Devolution or Home rule is the pooling of powers from central government to government at regional or local level. ...

French overseas departments and overseas regions The four territories of Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Réunion are overseas departments and at the same time mono-departmental overseas regions. According to the EC treaty (article 299 2), overseas departments are outermost regions; provisions of the EC treaty apply there while derogations are allowed. Hence the euro is legal tender, and these four areas are depicted beneath the map of Europe on euro banknotes. They are outside the EU VAT area. vat can be a type of barrel used for storage. ...
French overseas collectivities and New Caledonia The four territories of Mayotte, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna are overseas collectivities while New Caledonia is a collectivity sui generis. As concerns the EU treaty, all five are among the OCTs enumerated in Annex II, which means that the majority of EU law does not apply there. However, since the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community applies to the European territories of Member States and to non-European territories under their jurisdiction, EURATOM legislation does apply. Saint-Pierre and Miquelon (French Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) 46°47′N 56°12′W is a French overseas collectivity consisting of several small islands off the eastern coast of Canada near Newfoundland. ...

French nationals related to these collectivities are fully European citizens, and European elections are also organized in these collectivities.
French Southern Territories Though there is no permanent population, the French Southern Territories are the sixth and last French territory enumerated in the Annex II of the EC treaty. Hence what has been said above for French overseas collectivities applies there (though of course there are no European elections here). The French Southern Territories (long name: Territory of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, French: Territoire des Terres australes et antarctiques françaises or TAAF) are antarctic, volcanic islands in the southern Indian Ocean, south of Africa and about equidistant between Africa, Antarctica, and Australia. ...
According to the ECB euro faq, the euro is legal tender but there does not seem to be any legal foundation to this affirmation. Furthermore, several countries do not recognize the French claim to "Adelie Land" in Antarctica, and France's territorial claim is suspended in accordance with the Antarctic Treaty System. The Antarctic Treaty and related agreements, collectively called the Antarctic Treaty System or ATS, regulate the international relations with respect to Antarctica, Earths only uninhabited continent. ...
Other unpopulated islands The Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean and Clipperton Island are not enumerated in Annex II of the EC treaty, hence their legal position in relation to the Community seems unclear. In particular it is unclear if Clipperton is to be regarded as part of French Polynesia and thus subject to the annex or not. The Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean (French: Îles Éparses or Îles éparses de locéan indien) comprise four small coral islands and an atoll in the Indian Ocean. ...

Netherlands
Netherlands Antilles and Aruba Though they are parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are overseas countries and territories, listed under Annex II of the EC treaty. Hence EC law does not apply there. The euro is not legal tender (the local currencies – Antillean guilder and Aruba florin – are pegged to the U.S. dollar). This article is about general United States currency. ...
Dutch nationals related to these territories are fully European citizens; however, Dutch citizens residing in Netherlands Antilles or Aruba are normally not entitled to vote at European elections. Exceptions are made for (1) Dutch citizens who lived in the European part of the Netherlands for at least ten years and (2) Dutch citizens who work for the Dutch government (the government for the whole Kingdom, not the Antillean or Aruban government) and their partners and children.
Currently, the Netherlands Antilles are in a phase of reform: within a few years, this overseas country will be dissolved and replaced by the overseas countries of Curaçao and Sint Maarten on the one hand, and the "Kingdom Islands" of Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius on the other hand, whereby the latter will have closer ties with the Netherlands proper.

Islanders are full British citizens and hence European citizens. However, a protocol to the treaty of accession of the United Kingdom stipulates that Channel Islanders or Manx people who are not connected with the United Kingdom itself (through birth, descent from a parent or grandparent, or five years residence) shall not benefit from provisions relating to the free movement of persons and services. A resident of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man is normally not entitled to vote in European elections.
Gibraltar Gibraltar is part of the EU, having joined the EEC with the UK in 1973: by a special provision the EU treaty applies to the European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible; in practice Gibraltar is the only territory covered by this clause.
As negotiated by the UK at the request of Gibraltar's government, some EU laws do not extend to Gibraltar. Due to various dispositions of the treaty of accession of the UK to the Communities:
- Gibraltar is outside the EU's customs territory.
- Exclusion from EU's agricultural policies.
- Exclusion from VAT harmonization.
- No part of Gibraltar's customs revenue goes to the EU.
For trade, Gibraltar is de facto seen as an external country by the community. The euro is not legal tender, but it is accepted informally.
British nationals by birth or naturalisation in Gibraltar, or descended from a person so born or naturalised, are classed as British Overseas Territories Citizens related to Gibraltar. As such, they are full EU citizens, according to a 1982 declaration by the United Kingdom. British overseas territories citizens by connection with Gibraltar were permitted from 1983 to register as British citizens under section 5 of the British Nationality Act 1981. On 21 May 2002, British citizenship was granted to all Gibraltarians who did not already possess it.

Gibraltar was excluded from the elections to the European Parliament by a special disposition of the Treaty organizing these elections by direct suffrage, but this disposition was successfully challenged before the European Court of Human Rights, which decided that there was a violation of article 3 of Protocol Nr. 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights in its judgment in the Matthews case of 18 February 1999. As a consequence of this decision, Gibraltarians first voted in the European Parliament election 2004, when the territory was deemed to be part of the South West England region of the United Kingdom. The electoral register compiled for the 2004 European Election indicated that apart from a handful, most Gibraltarians had exercised their right to British Citizenship. Some 58% of the Gibraltar electorate participated compared to 31% in the region as a whole, with the Conservative Party receiving the lion's share of the territory's votes.

A common declaration by Spain and the UK was annexed to the unratified Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe. This declaration read as follows: The constitutional treaty as signed in Rome on 29 October 2004 The Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe (TCE), commonly referred to as the European Constitution, is an international treaty intended to create a constitution for the European Union. ...
"The Treaty establishing the Constitution applies to Gibraltar as a European territory for whose external relations a Member State is responsible. This shall not imply changes in the respective positions of the Member States concerned."
Sovereign bases on Cyprus Article 299(6)(b) of the EC treaty defines the status of the UK sovereign base areas on Cyprus. While they were formerly totally outside the scope of EC law, their legal situation has been modified since the accession of Cyprus to the European Union. The EC treaty now stipulates that This Treaty shall not apply to the United Kingdom Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus except to the extent necessary to ensure the implementation of the arrangements set out in the Protocol on the Sovereign Base Areas of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Cyprus (...) and in accordance with the terms of that Protocol. The UK Sovereign Base Areas are those British military base areas located in countries formerly ruled by the United Kingdom which were retained by it and not handed over when those countries attained independence. ...
The European Union is unique among international organizations in having a complex and highly developed system of internal law which has direct effect within the legal systems of its member states. ...
The rather lengthy Protocol N°3 referred to by the treaty makes applicable to the Sovereign bases on Cyprus various slices of EU law, for instance provisions relative to agricultural policy, customs and indirect taxation. The UK agrees in the Protocol to keep enough control of the external borders of the SBAs to mean that the SBA-Cyprus boundary can remain fully open without Cyprus having to police it as an external EU border.
Apart from those temporarily living there in connection with the British forces, the majority of the inhabitants are nationals of the Republic of Cyprus and are therefore now European citizens. Very few people now have British Overseas Territories Citizenship by virtue of a connection with the SBAs, and even fewer if any BOTCs do not have Cypriot nationality. SBA-derived BOTC status is the only form of BOTC status which has not now converted to full British Citizenship. It therefore still gives neither right of abode in Britain nor EU citizenship – the reasoning being that the permanent Cypriot population are treated as Cypriots instead, and the UK agreed in 1960 not to settle British Citizens permanently in the SBAs.
Other overseas territories The twelve other overseas territories of the United Kingdom, namely: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Antarctic Territory (under Antarctic Treaty overlaps Argentine and Chilean claims), British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena and Dependencies, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and Turks and Caicos Islands that are listed under Annex II of the EU treaty. Hence only minor aspects of EU law apply there, regulating trade regimes with EU states. A United Kingdom overseas territory (formerly known as a dependent territory or earlier as a crown colony) is a territory that is under the sovereignty and formal control of the United Kingdom but is not part of the United Kingdom proper (almost exclusively Great Britain and Northern Ireland). ...

There does not appear to be any implementing legislation giving EU law legal force within the British overseas territories - which is required due to the dualist approach of the UK to international law - but the United Kingdom Government from time to time uses prerogative legislative powers to implement EU legislation.
