At the moment (September 2008) countries trying to join the EU include: * Turkey * Croatia * Serbia * Macedonia * Albania

Turkey has disputes with an already EU member, Cyprus. They are the only sovereign nation to recognize Northern Cyprus as an independent nation from Cyprus. They are also not a very democratic nation, as it is illegal to insult their nation and the military is heavily involved in government. Only 3% of Turkey is even in Europe, so its almost like adding an Asian country to the European Union, and there are strict geographical laws for allowing a member to join the EU, which is why Morocco got rejected. If Turkey were to join, they would be the most populous country in the EU, after Germany, but would end up surpassing Germany in only a matter of years; this means they would have the most representation in the European Union. The major disagreers of Turkey's admission are France and Germany.

Wales itself has four MEPs- currently there is one from the Labour Party, one Conservative, one Plaid Cymru and one from the United Kingdom Independence Party (although the latter is likely to lose his seat at the next European Election).

only countries can join and it's a long and tedious process.

first of all you have to comply with a number of standards (economic, political, social). then the head of state of your country makes an official application. it is then up to the EU to consider this application.

at this moment there is a membership stop as the EU has to adapt to the recent enlargements. once the present situation is firmly under control, new countries can apply. however, some countries are more prone to be accepted than others. Muslim countries (like turkey) will face stiff opposition compared to non-Muslim countries. and of course the applicant country must be on the European continent.

a head of state may wish his country join the EU, but he will also have to deal with his electorate back home. not all people are in favour of joining the EU and in some cases the national population has opted out for fear of being dominated by the EU parliament in brussels of for fear of economic and social reasons (e.g. minority rights, the dumping of agricultural goods, ....)

There are various negative aspects, mainly the lock-in factor, where flexibility and needs of individual countries cannot be met. This is bad because there is no exit clause.

No because Ethiopia is not in Europe, it is in Africa.
