The Schengen area (which has common visa rules) is not the same as the EU. Those four countries are part of the Schengen agreement even though they are not in the EU. Conversely, Ireland is not included because although it is an EU member, it is not in the Schengen zone.
The EU is a very complicated thing.. You’re looking for the Schengen countries (inside the yellow line). Romania. Bulgaria, Croatia and Cyprus are the four non-Schengen countries that have also opted in.
Because “including Spain, France and Greece” is a rather lacking description for 30 European countries:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
Maybe they’re selected because they’re the most popular destinations? (Nor sure if that true, but it would make sense)
I feel bad for brevity in the presence of such criticism.
Im sorry, English is not my first language and don’t understand what you mean, could you explain me?
It’s okay, I’m a native English speaker and don’t understand what they’re saying.
Thos article is about the EU, not sure what Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein am Norway do in that list…
