Hi. Im just wondering why Ceuta and Melilla isnt considered as its own country here att passportstamp, while gibraltar is.

All three are autonomous parts of their mothercountry.

We use the international

We use the international standard list of countries. The code EA (Ceuta and Melilla) is exceptionally reserved by the World Trade Organization, but is not yet included as a country per se -- currently these territories are included under ESP - Spain.

Ceuta & Melilla

these territories are part of Spain, to the extent of being included in the Malaga phone directory. Strange you should draw the parallel of Gibraltar, as theSpanish don't; i.e., they want Gib back, but want to hold on to Ceuta and Melilla!
