Monaco participates in the EU customs union through its relationship with France; its ports are administered by the French. Vatican City has a customs union in effect with Italy.
Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are not members of Schengen, but act as such via their open borders with Spain, France and Italy, respectively.
Switzerland is not an official member of EEA but has bilateral agreements largely with the same content, making it virtually a member.
Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are using the euro as their currency through a monetary agreement with the EU.
Montenegro and Kosovo unilaterally adopted the euro as their currency and, therefore, have no issuing rights.
Currency included in the ERM II mechanism.
