What will Cyprus gain from becoming a member of the EU?
There are three major benefits for Cyprus joining the EU; financially the EU has offered grants for some major construction projects. There is some hope that some of the corruption within the civil service might be restricted by EU rules about tendering for contracts. Before Cyprus joined the EU non-Cypriots were not allowed to own businesses. One of the major supermarket chains (Chris's Cash & Carry) has been bought by Carrefour. This has improved the choice in goods, although food prices have risen since EU membership - partly because of the ending of food subsidies. Politically, the Cypriots feel more secure as part of the EU; Cyprus is a small country close to three continents, and close to countries - Israel, Syria, Egypt, Turkey which have had recent wars or invaded Cyprus. The Cypriots, understandably, felt somewhat isolated and joining the EU gives them a stronger sense of being European - although, ironically, Cyprus is closer geographically to Africa and Asia.

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.
