EuroTariff in... America and Africa

I thought they had the same status as Martinique but maybe not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Pierre_and_Miquelon says:

"Although the islands are part of the European Union, EU nationals are not allowed to exercise their Amsterdam Treaty rights to free movement and business establishment in the archipelago"

However, the number of persons travelling from or to this territory is so small, I suppose, that any roaming issues are of no practical meaning to almost everyone on this planet

OT, it's my 1000th post to the forum for the second time - the first 1000th post was a malicious comment in a spam thread which Effendi deleted .
