Best Answer

Since the end of the Cold War, a large number of countries - mostly formerly communist countries - have applied to be members of the EU. This process of admitting new members is what is meant by the term "enlargement". It is controversial for a number of reasons. Different countries have internal debates over whether they should be members of the EU. And EU member states worry that the Union might be getting too big and clunky to operate effectively.

What is the future for the EU?

Hopefully progression. The EU is expected to pick up its economy, probably not anytime soon but in the future, and rocket towards economic enlargement as it has done in the past. It is also expected to engulf all of Europe and most likely fuse into one nation: Europe or the European Union.


What countries in Europe want to be in the EU?

Every European country, with the exception of Andorra and Vatican City, has plans for joining the European Union soon or in the future. This doesn't necessarily mean that every one of these countries are currently in the midst of an EU membership plan, just simply that they have either tried to join the EU before, or they have announced they will in the future, or haven't announced that they will not join the EU. For example, Switzerland is a country who applied for membership to the EU. However, a referendum was held and rejected by the citizens, so the country's membership is on hold. In addition, some countries even outside of Europe are either targets for future enlargement by the EU or have expressed desire to join the EU. These countries are Israel, Cape Verde, and Morocco. Israel is a country that the EU has plans for accession when and if the EU starts their non-European enlargement agenda. A poll in 2011 showed that 81% of Israelis support membership. Morocco has already attempted to join the European Union, but was rejected because they were not considered European or Europeanized enough. Morocco still has its hopes on joining the EU, as this is one of the reasons they left the African Union. Since 2005, Portugal has been pushing for the accession of its former colony, Cape Verde, as it would act as a bridge from the EU to the AU and Latin America. Since then, Cape Verde has been distancing itself from African politics, much like Morocco, and forging closer relationships with the EU. Refer to the link below for more information on the future enlargement of the European Union. Sections are included for all European countries not already a part of the EU, in addition to the three non-European countries mentioned above.
