Countries with no EU mission or a single mission after Brexit[edit]

We should update that but I don’t know how the UK embassies handle EU citizens currently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grillofrances (talk • contribs) 02:43, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regional classification[edit]

Regarding the regional classification (sub-sections of section #3, titled relations)... can it be improved? Particularly the merging of the whole African Continent (not just North Africa) with Western Asia (reaching as far east as Iran) strikes me as somewhat bizarre. Is there any justification for it? The European External Action Service seemingly factors the regional scope of the EU foreign policy into "Africa", "Europe and Central Asia" ,"Asia", "Latin America & the Caribbean", "Middle East & North Africa (MENA)", "North America", "Pacific", which I am not sure if it's helpful either.--Asqueladd (talk) 13:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal for European Union's scientific cooperation beyond the bloc[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result was that the proposal was retracted by the opener. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging European Union's scientific cooperation beyond the bloc into Foreign relations of the European Union into this article. There is no good reason for a standalone article on scientific cooperation, which is an aspect of the EU's foreign relations.

This merger will likely be tricky because the original article appears to be based on original research, although as I just tagged on the page sources exist (e.g., Google Scholar results) to rewrite a section on this page. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:43, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

how exactly do you plan on merging them then? What aspects? can you give more details? In what way exactly are the two articles duplicate? Chefs-kiss (talk) 17:23, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts: Do you have any more concrete plans for the merger? The target page is quite long, so presumably the section here have to be considerably shortened, as well as better sourced. Felix QW (talk) 14:06, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to retract my proposal for now and revisit later. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:37, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
