		Whether a country is European or not is a subject to political assessment by the EU institutions, but countries in the Council of Europe that fall onto the border (between Europe and Asia) all have a significant claim for EU membership (as shown with the accession of geographically Asian, but culturally European, Cyprus).
		On January 13, 2005 the European Parliament almost unanimously (467 votes to 19 in favour) passed a motion stating the wish of the European Parliament to establish closer ties with Ukraine with the possibility of EU membership.
		On May 1, 2004 many EU enthusiasts waving the EU flags found their flags confiscated by police and some were arrested under the clause of "anti-nationalism." At present it remains the poorest country in Europe with rampant corruption and a booming trade in people.

		It also had a significant effect on the upcoming elections in Spain, due in part to the ruling government's insistence that the ETA was the prime suspect in the bombings, even as the evidence of Muslim extremist terrorism rapidly emerged from the police investigation and the international press.

	The Spanish election of March 2004
		Nonetheless, it is important to remember that Spain did not vote to abandon the fight against terrorism, it voted to protest the war in Iraq and the ruling party's perceived manipulation of the Madrid bombing investigation.
		Spain will continue to fight terrorism under the Socialists, and will even need to redouble its efforts now that it is threatened on two fronts: ETA and Al Qaeda.
		Spain's support of the U.S.-led war on Iraq was mostly symbolic: no Spanish troops participated in the war itself and its contingent in the post-war period is modest.

	European elections 2004: Terrorism weighs on Spain vote
		As Spain prepares to choose its representatives to the European Parliament on Sunday, much of the focus is on lingering questions from the electorate's last trip to the polls only three months ago.
		In those elections, the governing party was unexpectedly defeated just three days after terrorist attacks killed 191 people in Madrid, leaving the new government vulnerable to the charge that its victory was hollow, driven more by emotion than a sober assessment of the candidates.
		Sunday's elections to determine the occupants of Spain's 54 seats in the European Parliament provide a chance to help settle the issue and define the mandate of the new government, political analysts say.

		ROME – In voting for the European Parliament, Italians cast ballots Saturday with their government's pro-U.S. stance in Iraq in mind, while in the Czech Republic opposition parties wary about the European Union appeared to be on their way to victory.
		Italy is assigned 78 seats in the new parliament – nine fewer than in the previous vote in 1999.
		While the European Parliament cannot introduce legislation – that right is reserved for the European Commission – its powers have steadily grown to the point that it now influences all EU laws, by voting on them and amending them.

		Spain is a member of the European Union located on the Iberian Pennisula, which it shares with Portugal.
		Franco remained a dictator in Spain until 1975, when his death was followed by a restored monarchy in 1975 and popular elections in 1977.
		On March 11, 2004, al-Qaida terrorists exploded bombs on a commuter rail line, killing about 200 people and -- some say -- influencing the results of the election in a way that caused the party that had pledged to get Spain out of the Iraq war to prevail.

		In truth, Spain was never quite as self-assured as it seemed, nor quite as in love with Mr Aznar as foreigners imagined—even if some of those who now affect to despise the former tax inspector with great-power pretensions were quite ready to vote for him a few months ago.
		It is likely, however, that this year's dramatic election will come to be seen not as a by-product of a terrorist attack that happened to lead to a change of government, but as the natural end of the first era of Spain's post-Franco transition to democracy.
		Spain has opted for a huge expansion in the number of its universities, two-thirds of which have been created since 1975, but this has done little to improve either the quality of teaching or the students' independence of thought.
