Discuss the expansion of the European Union. What are some of the issues faced by existing members as a result of the expansion?
(89) VerifiedThe process of expansion has been the most important item on the European Union's agenda. Ten new countries were added in 2004. Bulgaria and Romania entered in 2007, as did Croatia in 2013, and talks with Turkey, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Iceland, and Serbia are still in progress. Negotiations with Turkey have had their ups and downs, but the Muslim majority nation has economically benefited from its new openness. However, a broader preoccupation for the European Union is the prospect of illegal immigrants from former Soviet states surging across poorly guarded borders of the newer and/or candidate states and making their way farther west within the European Union. The European Union is demanding that borders be sealed, but the new and candidate states are reluctant to jeopardize relations with neighboring communities. Furthermore, the European Union fears a flood of cheap labor even if the borders are closed; it wants a long transition period before freedom of movement of labor, whereas the applicants say their citizens should be allowed to work anywhere in the European Union once they are members.
