If they can't satisfy the acquis communautaire, which is the entire body of European Union laws. A country must change their national legislation if necessary to align it with the acquis. Also, countries must have a half decent human rights record and meet certain economic standards.
Morocco was the only country to be denied membership to the European Union. It was denied because it is not viewed as a Europeanized country by the EU, although it does label itself as a European Union. However, Morocco still plans on joining the EU and has not given up hope. Some people think Turkey has been denied membership to the European Union, but this isn't true. Turkey applied for membership 1987. It is somewhat viewed as a Europeanized country by the EU and was even a founding member of the Council of Europe. Turkey has been a candidate for accession to the EU since 1999, and has not yet joined the EU but has not been denied admission. Negotiations started in 2005 and the result is expected to take at least a decade. Turkey is a very controversial topic for the EU and has been the focus of heated debates for decades. Turkey is a Muslim nation with an Arab majority and has a fast growing population and economy. Some countries argue Turkey should join the EU, such as the UK, because they need all the economic help they can get. But some countries, such as France, argue Turkey should be denied admission because they are not truly a European country, and if they were to join, they'd form the majority of EU delegates as they are expected to surpass Germany in population in the next few years.

Turkey.
No, Uzbekistan is not a member of the EU, nor is it under consideration for EU membership at any future time.
Norway rejected membership to the European Union.
the membership in the EU is increasing as the numbers of countries within the EU have gone from 1 to 27
The more members there are in the EU, the more people might uprise if they dont like whats going on. If enough people uprise the whole EU just fall apart.
Canada was never a member of the EU.
Yes
No, the Council of the European Union membership consists of the ministers of each EU member state and it is a legislative institution. The European Council membership consists of the heads of state of each European country and it's purpose is to provide general policy direction for the EU.
No. The present (western orientated) government wants EU membership in the future but the opposition parties (many of which are more Russian orientated) are against EU membership. At present corruption and income levels are far below even the EU's poorest countries (Romania and Bulgaria) but maybe in 10 years time EU membership will be possible.
The most likely reason is because of the economic troubles, however, your question is false. No country is planning on leaving and in fact, almost every country in Europe is planning on joining.
