"Where are the borders of the European Union?

An old problem comes up once more. Which is the limit of the Union? Will all the European countries become members of the EU?
News analyst Jesús Torquemada

Romania and Bulgaria will feel a great sense of relief Tuesday when the European Commission announces it gives the green light to its entry into the European Union next January 1st.

The European Union might have might have delayed the entry by a year but, at the end, it has decided to do it in 2007, rather than in 2008.

The European Commission is not totally convinced that this enlargement is going to work out well as the Commission is giving the two countries a list of reforms they must complete to avoid being deprived initially of full membership benefits. However, Romania and Bulgaria were left out in the 2004 enlargement and it seems they can not be left out again."
