"Dublin (Reuters) -- A new stamp issued by Ireland, current president of the European Union, appears to confuse new EU-member Cyprus with the Greek holiday island of Crete, it is reported May 6, 2004.

The Irish Post Office insisted there had been no mistake but conceded the designers had to move Cyprus from its position in the eastern Mediterranean to fit it on the stamp."
