 * A very belated follow-up. This has been brought up at Copyright problems/2020 October 29 and Copyright problems/2020 November 6 as still containing material copy/pasted from the book noted above. A 2010 edition of the book is available on Google Books and seems to have material that was clearly copied from the Wikipedia page, not the other way around. As an example, page 78 of the book has a paragraph "Norway provides... Norway grants. The NGO Fund in Cyprus... Financial Mechanism. It was established in 2004. In 2005, Norway..." which matches a paragraph in this article. The first and last sentence were added by in 2009. The middle sentence was added a year later by . So it seems more likely the paragraph took shape on Wikipedia and was then pasted into that book. I can't find a 2002 version of the book, just the 2010 version. But the fact that the 2010 version hosts material copy/pasted from Wikipedia makes me suspect that whatever other duplicated text was found previously was probably also a backwards copy. With that in mind, I've un-blanked the article and marked the CP thread as resolved. If you think I'm missing something, please feel free to let me know. Ajpolino (talk) 00:04, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh also I don't think the book is in the public domain. It says it's published by USA International Business Publications, which seems somewhat dodgy. I can't find much info on them online. Maybe it's defunct? Ajpolino (talk) 00:09, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
