Policy briefs
In this legislature, the European Union is facing a new enlargement towards the East. At Equipo Europa, we believe that it is very important to inform young Europeans about the history and identity of these countries in order to understand the European integration process of each of them.
With our policy briefs on each of the candidate countries completed, trans-national teams are currently working on proposals based on the four topics of this year's edition. They will be presented and debated in the event that is taking place in Madrid this October.
These Policy Briefs, which have been elaborated by Equipo Europa´s EU enlargement and reform research group in recent months, are a look at the culture of seven countries that could become part of the European family in the coming years, but also include recommendations to facilitate integration at both EU and individual country level.
Proposals
This resurgence of enlargement raises many questions. At Equipo Europa we have sought to answer these through our previous policy briefs on candidate countries and in the present work which seeks to elucidate the necessary reforms the EU must undertake to get ‘ready’ for enlargement. This is a crucial aspect of this work, the idea that the EU as it currently stands is not perfectly suited for an expanded membership has driven our work.
