"Advantages and Disadvantages of the European Union expansion
On Saturday, May 1st, 2004, zero hour, ten new countries (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) and 75 million inhabitants joined the European Union.
This enlargement of the Union from 15 to 25 was officially celebrated in Dublin during a meeting of the heads of state.
This new unit now amounts to (is now totalling) 456 million inhabitants, representing 7.2% of the world's population (USA are[b][/b] 293 million) and spreads over 3 929 712 km ² (USA are 9 631 417 km² large, for people enjoying numbers)
What kind of repercussions will it (this European expansion) have ?
We need to make a distinction between 2 kinds of repercussions : repercussions for the new countries entering the Union and repercussions for the whole Europe:
- The new countries :
To be able to join the European Union these countries had to respect several criteria (Copenhagen, June 1993) such as :
Having stable institutions and guaranteeing democracy.
Having a viable market economy.
Having the ability to abide by the obligations of the European Union.
So these new countries are now stable on the political level as well as on the economiclevel.
- The whole Europe :
This extension eastward can be compared to the former ones in terms of mass, but will increase disparities.
It will bring an important increase in disparities within the Union: on average, the wealth per capita of these countries is less than half the European average. However, one can reckon on the dynamism of these economies to be optimistic about their ability to converge in the not-so-long run.
Nevertheless, new countries [b]mean new markets[/b]. New markets which were inaccessible before are now fully available to investors. Thus a creation of wealth.

Among the repercussions, a good number of questions remain hanging : what about the ideological differences between western and eastern European countries? Where are the borders of Europe (the Turkish case)? Social issues
