The Daily DX writes that QSLs of TT8JLB are not accepted for DXCC yet.

The "Council of Europe Amateur Radio Club (CEARC)", TP2CE, applied for a membership in the IARU region 1. If they had become a new member this could had been a new DXCC entity. On the IARU region 1 meeting in San Marino on April 26-29 this application was declined because it does not follow article 11.2 of the rules.
