Pros  and  Cons  of  enlargement  of  EU  
 

 
Pros:  
 
 
-­‐  Empowering  the  European  Union  and  the  countries  within  it  gives  it  a  more  important  
role  on  the  international  stage
...
 
-­‐  Gives  the  possibility  to  smaller  states  to  have  “a  voice”  on  the  international  stage  as  a  
member  of  the  European  Union
...
 
-­‐  The  enlargement  of  the  EU  also  means  that  the  euro  will  be  used  by  more  states  and  
thus  that  the  euro  as  a  currency  will  become  stronger
...
 
 
Cons:  
 
-­‐  As  the  European  Union  grows  larger,  the  other  countries,  which  are  not  part  of  this  
union,  will  have  less  and  less  influence  and  power  on  the  international  stage
...
 
-­‐  The  enlargement  of  the  European  Union  might  cause  many  disagreements  within  the  
union  and  discordance  between  its  members
...
 
-­‐  The  members  of  the  European  union  highly  rely  on  each  other  for  trade  and  for  their  
economy;  the  financial  difficulties  of  Spain  and  Greece  play  a  major  role  in  the  difficult  
state  the  other  financial  countries  are
...
   
Too  many  states  would  create  too  much  “free  market”  in  general
...
 
-­‐  Enlargement  might  present  difficulties  for  countries  with  a  communist  system  already  
in  place  that  will  have  to  go  to  a  capitalist  way  of  working;  this  might  create  problems  
within  the  population  of  that  state  and  destabilise  the  country,  which  might  not  entirely  
agree  with  this  decision  after  spending  so  much  time  in  a  communist  state
