UT, what are you on about? Barbados gained independence in 1966, so next year they'd be marking 40 years.
MarkD, in which case I believe that only the French islands would be classified as part of the EU, and my guess is that SXM would therefore NOT be counted, but would these flights still count as "intra-EU" anyway if they must pass through international air space on their way there? No idea on that one.
