The European Union Expansion

The European Union is the framework for economic and political co-operation between 25 European countries.

It began as a post-war initiative between six countries pooling control over coal and steel to guarantee a more peaceful future for Europe. But the EU now manages co-operation on issues as wide-ranging as the environment, transport and employment, and wields increasing influence in defence and foreign policy. It has five declared objectives: to promote economic and social progress; to assert the identity of the European Union on the international scene; to introduce European citizenship; to develop an area of freedom, security and justice; to maintain and build on established EU law.

Officially, the European Union only exists since the early 1990s, although the term has been used for much longer than that. The Maastricht Treaty renamed the European Community the European Union by forming what are known as the three pillars of the EU. They are: European Community; Common Foreign and Security Policy; Justice and Home Affairs. The first pillar is managed by the institutions of the EU, while the second and third work through inter-governmental co-operation.

The first pillar is responsible for the single market and freedom of movement across borders. It also looks after economic and monetary union and issues such as agriculture, environment and competition. In this pillar, unlike the other two, member states have given up some of their sovereignty and EU institutions can act independently of the national governments.

In the second pillar, member states aim to

hold common positions and take joint action on foreign and security affairs. The objective of the Justice and Home Affairs pillar is to integrate member states' policies on asylum and immigration, customs, drugs and crime.

In May 2004 the 15 old members of the EU welcomed in Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. With a (1) …… of 455m, the EU now is the world's biggest trading bloc. In the existing member states, there is more (2) …… over immigration, over the new balance of forces within the EU and over whom the club should admit next. For the newcomers, there are (3) …… about price hikes without commensurate salary increases.

There is also (4) …… that established members have placed restrictions of up to seven years on freedom of movement for workers from the relatively poor east into the west.

Eight of the new members are former communist states, joining the Western club only 15 years after most of them emerged from years of Soviet domination. Some did not even regain their (5) …… until just over a decade ago.

Bulgaria and Romania will join them bringing the total membership of the EU to 27 by the end of 2007. These countries will now need to get the (6) …… of their people and a series of referendums will be run over the next year or so.
