Geography.
Monaco's waters are enclaves in the French EEZ. The situation is more unclear for the Channel Islands. Some maps show the EEZ being enclaved by the French EEZ, while others show the Guernsey EEZ extending to the border with the UK EEZ.
Outside of mainland France and overseas departments or communities (Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion and Saint Martin), none of the territories below, and therefore their EEZ, is part of the European Union.
