Although the Mediterranean Sea provides a clearer divide between Africa and Europe, some traditionally European islands such as Malta, Sicily, Pantelleria and the Pelagian Islands are located on the African continental plate [REF].
Other territories are part of European countries but are geographically located in other continents, such as the French overseas departments,[REF] the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the coast of Africa,[REF] and the Dutch Caribbean territories of Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius [REF].
