In 1993, at the Copenhagen European Council, the membership criteria were defined. They must be respected by a country which wants to enter the EU. .
But Enlargment is a difficoult process; a lot of countries do not have a good economy and a lot of time is necessary yo guarantee their economical stability. For example , if we talk about the possible entry of turkey, there are different problems:
- Turkey is not all in Europe.
- It does not yet show economical stability.
- Most of people are Muslim.
But an eventual entry of Turkey could also take advantages, both economical and in favour of peace. As a matter of fact Turkey boarders with the countries of middle east.
With our school work we had to recognise that young people do not have a good knowledge about the European Union and its problems.
Interpreting the data carried out we saw that only a few people know why and when the European Union was born.
The results show that information of school and massmedia are not suitable.
In my opinion Europe must say yes to Turkey because it will enlarge its cultural boarders.
In the future students will have to study more about the European Union at school in order to understand what happens in everyday life.
