'Entirely unacceptable': EU backs down after calling Falkland Islands by Argentine name
The issue is extraordinarily sensitive for both sides given the war fought over the Falklands in 1982.
Securing the use of the phrase "Islas Malvinas" in an agreement with the EU will only embolden its hopes of absorbing the islands.The wording came in a joint declaration between the EU and Celac, a bloc of 33 countries in Latin America. Argentina's president Alberto Fernandez tweeted: "We concluded the summit with great news: the European Union and Celac adopted a motion on the Malvinas Question.Argentina and supporters of its claim refer to the "Malvinas".Foreign minister Santiago Cafiero said: "Off the back of this declaration the Argentine government hopes to further expand dialogue with the EU regarding the question of the Malvinas Islands.
However, the a spokesperson for the EU clarified that member states "have not changed their views and positions" on the islands and the bloc "is not in a situation to express any position on the Falklands/Islas Malvinas".
