I was always under the impression that EEC, EC and EU were different, but co-existing, political definitions.

I've got a few CDs that are marked "made in the EEC" on the sleeve and the disk itself says "made in Italy." Ditto a long time ago seeing some rolls of Turkish photo film.

The map is kind of hard to see. Is that Switzerland between France, Germany/Austria and Italy?

If so, are they a 2004 entrant to the EU or are they not joining? The color distinction isn't all that distinguishable at first glance.
