"Europe's new division of labor

From Warsaw Business Journal

Two years after the accession of 10 new members, the EU is showing clear signs of enlargement fatigue.


While most politicians and economists insist that eastward enlargement has been good for the EU, voters are increasingly skeptical. This matters, first because concerns about 'unfair' competition after enlargement impede EU progress, for example with opening up services markets; and second because France, Austria and probably others will hold referendums on future accessions. The Balkan countries and Turkey will not join unless the people in the existing EU countries understand how enlargement has really changed the Union."
