New EU Members

Stoppress!!

I'm not trying to be an EU expert or being interested to such topic as i fully recognised myself that i'm not and most probably will never be destined to be one of those people. However, i just read this NEWS from BBC that says that Romania and Bulgaria will be admitted to the European Union in January 2007 but under strict conditions. It remains to be seen whether EU will continue its current expansion furthermore..

Congratulation to Romania and Bulgaria! You've made it to EU!! =)

I had to go searching for this news in Australia. It was read on SBS (a government multicultural channel) as a small story, briefly mentioned. I nearly missed it.

Goes to show how sometimes people here are so out of touch with parts of the rest of the world. If you are never exposed to something, you will never know and you will lead a life of ignorance. Or should we be trying to instill an active curiousity to look outside of their box in all people????? Oh this conundrum just continues....

@Ragil: Didn't you expect that? That is just in line with prior lax dealings with access criteria. A political thing in the name of justice and unity. So far, so good. Congratulations!
However: Let's make a bet if, in case of any shortcomings, lack of progress or regress, the EU will ever do, or not, what they menace with. E.g. suspend their rights... Or another bet on the conctitution ever being in force. Another story. Whatever.
No, I am actually not a pessimist.
Have a nice weekend :-)

Two more-two less...

And what will it bring to ordinary Romanians or Bulgarians?
