The Canary Islands are an autonomous region within Spain and are regarded as European. therefore flights to the Canary Islands are European flights. By virtue of Spain being an EU member, the Canary Islands are in the EU. However, by being an autonomous region, they are exempt from certain EU legislation including customs allowances.

The Canary Islands are officially classed as an autonomous community of Spain and since Spain is a member of the EU than so are the Canary Islands. The fact there are nearer to Africa than to Spain is immaterial. So your flight counts as a European flight.

The Canary Islands is considered a province of Spain, and Spain is part of of the European Community.

Canary Islands are as European as any other corner of Europe. Just a little bit further, geographically speaking.

The islands are outside European Union customs territory, though politically within the EU

I think its techically not in the EU. You can't bring the full allocation of cigarettes back from the canary islands which suggests its not a full EU territory.

No thankfully. There are already too many EEC members that don't contribute.
