That being said there is a joint declaration between the RC, EO, and OO churches that if one is travelling in an area where there is no church of which they belong, the person may receive communion in the other churches.

My EO friends tell me that their priests are not allowed to give communion to anyone who is not a member of their church, and if an EO person has communion in any other church, this is a very serious matter.
What country is this? I have found that the rules are not all the same, or at least enforced in the same way,  across different countries.

The Orthodox people I know come from several countries and church groups (I think they're called "jurisdictions"?), and all said the same thing: No communion to anyone who is not EO, and no communion is allowed for an EO from a church which is not EO.

Quite frankly, this may vary from parish to parish.  All Eastern Orthodox answering to the Ecumenical Patriarch will have the same "rules" on matters such as this.  Oriental Orthodox churches will have their own rules according to their patriarch.  Rules according to country are very superficial, such as what language they're allowed to pray the liturgy in.

Not all priests are well informed on this, regardless of whether they are RC, EO, or OO.
When I have some time I'll dig up the declarations and post some links.
