That is not the full list.
Did I say they were the only EU country not on the list? Re-read what I wrote.
They are certainly the one of the only wealthy EU countries not on the list. I see Belgium and Netherlands also are excluded.
I think it may be Australia reciprocating their exclusion from EasyPass (exempt MUC weirdly), and access to their E-Gates. Good for them.
