Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 2,3 (B), Leeds Metropolitan University, course: EU Policy & Business, language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction For many centuries Europe was torn by the antagonism of power. During the world wars a united Europe seemed like an inconceivable illusion. But utopia became reality. Now, 15 years after the fall of the Berliner wall Eastern countries are joining the European Union. The EU enlargement on 1 May could be the beginning of a modern fairy tale.

There has been a big discussion involving all different levels of society and politics about where this is going - and where it will all end. (Wallendorf, 2004) This work will focus on Germany as an old member of the European Union and examine the extent to which the benefits of the 2004 enlargement outweigh the disadvantages. Due to the word limitation the major issues will be mentioned but the attention will focus more on the implication for the German economy, although the issues sometimes interact each other it is not always possible to separate them. The agriculture sector will be left out of consideration. The pictures used in this report are taken from the official homepage of the German Government and the European Commission. [...]
