an approval from gov officials in respective
countries. I guess that means they do not share
your opinion
Its not an opinion, its a fact...go to an educated Dane in the streets of Denmark, or an educated Swede in the streets of Sweden (I can't speak for Norwegians as I have not been there, though i'd be pretty confident they'd say the same). They would tell you that Scandinavia are those three countries, its not a matter of opinion, its a matter of geography. Its just like if one was trying to say New Zealand is a part of Australia. If the European Union (as you have repeated) includes Finland as a part of Scandinavia then they need to do their geography homework. Then again, somehow for the European Union, Cyprus is more European than Turkey, despite the fact that Turkey is closer to Europe. Finland is a Nordic Country, its in the Nordic Communities of course, but its not a part of Scandinavia.
Even your Wikipedia agrees:
