"Interview: ‘Fear can paralyse’ EU

Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev tells EUpolitix that fears surrounding EU enlargement are becoming “obsessive”.

The 39-year Bulgarian leader believes that debates over Europe’s capacity are perfectly reasonable but worries that enlargement fears are becoming something of a neurosis for the EU.

“Fears are becoming very obsessive and there is the danger fear can become paralysing to the action of thought,” Stanishev argues.

The Socialist stresses that concerns in existing EU member states that social standards could slide or jobs be lost are “justified and reasonable worries”."
