At the meetings of the Schengen group in Luxembourg on 19 June it was agreed to accept the application of Greece to the group. Greece was admitted as an observer in December 1991, and is expected to become a full member in January 1993. The EC countries in the Schengen group are now Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and Greece. This leaves the UK, Ireland and Denmark outside the group. The Schengen Agreement was agreed by the governments in June 1990 and has to be ratified by each member state before it can come into effect, has so far been agreed by France, Spain, Portugal and Luxembourg.
