Enlargement
Enlargement was originally the term used to refer to the four successive waves of new members joining the European Community. Nine countries have so far joined the six founder members - Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands - at the following times:
•1973: Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom;
•1981: Greece;
•1986: Portugal and Spain;
•1995: Austria, Finland and Sweden.
The current wave of accessions has turned enlargement into a unique opportunity to bring peace, stability and prosperity to the entire continent of Europe. It is an unprecedented enlargement in terms of its dimension and diversity and involves 10 applicant countries from Central and Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) as well as two Mediterranean countries (Malta and Cyprus) and Turkey.
At the Copenhagen European Council (12 and 13 December 2002), the Commission concluded negotiations with 10 of these countries - Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia - thus enabling them to join the Union on 1 May 2004. As far as Bulgaria and Romania are concerned, the goal is to conclude negotiations in time for them to join in 2007. The possibility of opening negotiations with Turkey will be examined in December 2004.
