Despite the fact that Israel is not physically located in Europe (as any fifth grader who knows geography can tell you), Israel is seeking to increase its status within the European Union in order to boost its business.
(Ynet News) Israel is trying to upgrade its standing in the European Union to be equal to that of Switzerland and Norway.
Although the two countries are not members of the EU, they have free passage for people, capital and merchandise between them and the rest of the EU countries.
The Israel-EU Association Council – a council of European foreign ministers who monitor European-Israeli relations – is scheduled to convene in Brussels in March, with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Although some may see this as bad (as you can tell in the comment section of Ynet), upgrading Israel's status will actually benefit the nation, as it will allow more interaction between Europeans and Israeli's.
Not only would this be good for business on both sides, but Israel and Europe may discover that they have more in common with each other than their current political differences.
