The EU is giving a great opportunity to those countries that have suffered economically from wars, Communism... etc.
And I hope that now they are members, they would keep up with such countries as Germany and France.
well we should start forcing all laws and ideas onto all members, not I want to accept this but I don't want to accept that (the currency as best example) if a rule is based everyone should accept it if not they can bugger off.
personaly G.P I think it came a bit too soon, the EU still has to work out a lot of problems as it was they should have focused on that first

I think it's great, if things work out, we'll finally have a good, strong opponent for the US. The US will have to consider the EU, before just attacking countries like Iraq. Ofcourse, this will only work if the EU will be one, strong block, and this could take a while. It's important not to form a leading group though, and also countires such as France and Germany shouldn't be so dominant. All problems where still need to be worked, but I'm confident that in the end everything will turn out fine.
It's great for the new countries to join the EU, ofcourse esspecialy for the economy, but also the living cicurmstances will certainly improve..

I don't live in the new EU countries, so I can't give their opinion... but with this ... I don't see it positively ...
those new countries... no euro, all new european politicians (making it too large to let it actually work), no Schengen, etc.
The EU is not about being social (as the first priority), it's about money and I'm not sure if their economy is that good. Sure, it went a lot better since the fall of communism, but imho it still didn't go well enough to include them already
if it was in, lets say, 2015, sure, than they had more time to organise and such, but now ... too early I guess
uhm.. really? I don't have any idea... i think we can travel without passports.. and stuff... but really.. i don't care. It's just another oportunity for higher taxes and stuff.
