EU isn’t Europe

Regarding James Stevenson’s (Letters, 26 November) question: “Does anyone know if UK sportsmen and sportswomen will be able to compete in European Championship tournaments” ?

Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Andorra, San Marino, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, are all not in the EU.

It baffles me as to why anyone would equate the EU with Europe. They are European Championships, not EU Championships.
