Von der Leyen: Enlargement is a vital strategy for the EU
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen

"Enlargement is a vital policy for the EU, completing our Union means answering the call from history and is the natural horizon of the EU. The citizens of these countries are as European as the citizens of the Union today."

This is what the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said.

According to her, the end of the European Union has a geopolitical and economic logic, it has great benefits for those who join and for the EU itself.

"The completion of our Union is the call of history, it is the natural horizon of the European Union. The citizens of the countries that want to join are Europeans – just like those of today's Union. Because we all know that geography, history and common values ??bind us. So, the completion of our Union also has a strong economic and geopolitical logic. If you look at the history of the last rounds of enlargement, you see that they have shown great benefits both for those countries that join the European Union and for the European Union itself. Basically, we all win. You can see that for new members, citizens and their businesses, there is access to our four freedoms, access to our single market, citizens can travel, businesses have new markets. And all this is a powerful lever to increase prosperity and therefore stability in these countries.

But for the European Union itself, the advantages are also very clear and impressive. Expanding our single market brings economies of scale to our businesses, increases our competitiveness and therefore the strength of our single market. Our expansion story has been an unprecedented economic success story," said Ursula von der Leye./ CNA
