Junior ScienceRefresher published this article page no 16 this new approach does have merit. the impetus to what is now the eu was the aim of ensuring that france and germany would never engage in hostilities again. this aim has been successful. the enlargement of the eu to include most of western europe also provided a bulwark against communism and the expansionist aims of the ussr. as the ussr is no longer in existence and indeed several former communist states are now members of the eu the question does arise as to the purpose of the eu and its future role and direction. the expansion of the eu in 2004 to include 10 eastern bloc states and the accession of bulgaria and romania on 1 january 2007 does call for a strategic review. the current size of the eu and the accession of economically undeveloped member states will necessitate increased budget contributions from the richer members primarily germany and the uk. it will also mean that the less developed regions of the uk currently in receipt of eu structural funds will lose this status. it may even stimulate the overhaul of the common agricultural policy and the privileged protection of french agriculture but perhaps this is too much to expect junior science refresher magazine buy.
