<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/dossier.asp?id=168>Enlargement, one year on
On May 1 2004, ten more countries entered the European Union. On its first
birthday, does the enlarged EU have anything to celebrate?


Thijs Lammers - Amsterdam

<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1199>Feeling the effects
<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1199>Surprisingly few
people in Western Europe are aware of the fact that ten more countries
joined the EU and even fewer can name them. But what effect has enlargement
had on these new member states whose accession has often been ignored or
maligned?


Elise Poudevigne - Paris

<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1212>"People feel
threatened by globalisation, not by enlargement"
<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1212>The integration of 10
new members into the EU was a success, assumes Commission Vice-President
Günter Verheugen. However, a French No to the constitutional treaty could
do serious harm.


Kay Ritchie - Bruxelles

<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1197>Gridlock in the
European Parliament
<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1197>Since enlargement, the
sheer number of staff in the Parliament means the building is bursting at
the seams. But should my ability to get a sandwich in the canteen be every
European citizen's concern?


Victoria Donovan - Bruxelles

<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1196>Old Europe must act,
not protest
<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=A&Id=1196>One year after EU
enlargement, opinions in the old member states are divided. While
economists maintain that enlargement constitutes a "win-win" situation,
populations in countries such as France and Germany are showing increasing
scepticism


Lorenzo Morselli - Bruxelles

<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=T&Id=3690><i>Non</i> to the
constitutionŠor to enlargement?
<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=T&Id=3690>The French referendum
on the European constitution, planned for May 29, is getting closer and the
No vote is ahead in the polls. Here's why.


Guillaume Rey - Strasbourg

<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=T&Id=3713>Structural funds in
danger?
<http://www.cafebabel.com/fr/article.asp?T=T&Id=3713>The structural funds
distributed to European regions have been severely disrupted by the
addition of ten new member states to the EU. So who is going to profit the
most?
