European Community still in a trance? (8)
I believe the answer is:
ecstatic
'in a trance?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'european community still' is the wordplay.
'european community' becomes 'ec' (abbreviation).
'still' becomes 'static' (static can mean still or not moving).
'ec'+'static'='ECSTATIC'
(Other definitions for ecstatic that I've seen before include "Full of bliss" , "Cock-a-hoop" , "On cloud nine" , "Overjoyed, over the moon" , "Euphoric" .)
