English | Deutsch.
The European Union has many candidates for membership. It is currently conducting negotiations with Albania, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, the accession processes are complicated: Many countries would prefer to become part of the union of states sooner rather than later. At the same time, many member states favour EU structural reform first in order to strengthen the Union's ability to act. The current policy paper on the reform debate analyses the arguments for and against a rapid enlargement of the EU and provides recommendations for policy-makers.
