| Eurocrats leave Wales off EU map |
|
BBC News
 Where's Wales? Well, it used to be between England and Ireland... A bureaucratic blunder has left Wales off a map of Europe on the cover of a prestigious EU reference book. The Eurostat Statistical Compendium has all the facts and figures on Europe. All EU member states, and the rest of Britain, are accurately represented on the cover - but Wales has disappeared and been replaced by the Irish Sea. A line was drawn from Chester to the Severn Estuary, roughly along the English border, but to the west there is nothing until the Irish coast. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/3715512.stm |
