EU Questions

1) How do people in your country feel about EU membership?
They must like it because they are an original member and they have stayed in it all this time.

2) How might future expansion affect the economies of your country?
Future expansion might help boost our economy because since many of the countries wanting to join have the same resources we do, the EU as a whole would have more of those, making the economy better for everyone. There would be more to export. 

3) What potential problems face nations who want to adopt the euro??
Potential problems for nations wanting to adopt the Euro is that prices in that nation would rise substantially and they need to be able to compete with Market, but this rise in prices would boost the economy because in being part of the EU your spending is greater. 

4) What political or cultural issues might arise because of the EU expansion?
There could be immigration and emigration problems, people from non EU countries coming in and people leaving if they didn't like what being in the EU did to their country. Might be less jobs for people currently in the EU because of the immigration of other people. 

5) What did you learn about other countries through their presentations (list two distinct and detailed things).
I learned that in Albania they are having trouble joining the EU because of problems with past corruptions in their government and having a communist past. ROmania is currently trying to get the Euro but they are having trouble because their economy isn't great, their money is worth less, and it would only help Romania not the EU.
