More EU expansion ??

Question

President Sarkozy is quoted today as saying "No Lisbon Treaty No more enlargement" Assuming this is correctly quoted and by "enlargement" he means more countries joining - how many more countries does the EU have its eyes on.

The EU is already bigger than the Roman Empire which stopped west of the Rhine east of Ireland and south of Scotland.What's left apart from North Africa the Near East and Turkey. How much sense would that make ?

Answer 1

I think Mr. Sarkozy meant was there's no point for more EU expansion unless the EU really finally got its act together internally and finally figure for itself it really is and/or what it stands for.

      As for EU expansion,that would depend on the circumstances. I mean, look at Turkey for example,since it wants to be a part of the EU so badly, it has done a lot of reform of its institutions,liking being more lenient with the Kurds for example. If Turkey does indeed become a member of the EU someday,maybe it could provide the Western Nations a platform of Mid-East stability against encroaching militant Islam,assuming after the Turkish truly modernized themselves by that point.

      A lot of countries want to part of the European Union because those smaller countries that were admitted have a good record of becoming for more prosperous than they were outside of it.

Answer 2

I would go for the Far East to maybe the Middle East. Africa is a possibilyi but could the EU cope with the mass debt that these African nations have?? too much to write off unless the debt was passed onto the EU civilians in a way of taxes etc. I know Turkey are trying to get in and they are the doorway to the Middle-East.

This expansion/occupation is gonna end up in tears and I really hope it does. This Empire will fall like all the other Empire's before it.

Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini must be reveling at this.

Answer 3

It is getting far to big now!No more expnsion!

Answer 4

What he said was ...

"Without the Treaty of Lisbon there won't be any enlargement," he said.

"You can't say no to reforms and yes to enlargement."

He's only saying that we can't have enlargement without a new treaty.

Answer 5

Well without moving into Asia and Africa there's still Norway Switzerland and Iceland, not to mention the various former Yugoslav republics (Slovenia's already in).  Then if we got desperate, there's Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.

Why limit ourselves to the Roman Empire?  They didn't have Uncle Sam trying to take over the world.

Answer 6

EU will expand to Asia and Africa.

Answer 7

Well the plan is to become global, that's what the powers that be want for their EU. Russia will join in the future as well as every other country thus completing the one world government.

Here is the elite's end goal: European Union, all of Europe then

the rest of the east, south and north, Antarctica, Russia, china, that entire region, ect. Eastern European Union or South Asian Union.

North American European Union or North American Union, which is:Canada, America and Mexico.

African European Union, which would be most of Africa.

It's really a colossal roman empire revived. This dam expansion is just the start of it. I'm glad that the constitution was rejected, for the time being of course.
