The European Union (EU) serves as a central hub of political and economic collaboration for many European nations. Member states are able to work together to ensure the free movement of people, goods, and capital while maintaining common policies that mutually benefit
all included countries. Not all European nations, however, are members of the EU.
Using your knowledge of the EU, its member countries, and other European nations, identify current non-member nations that might wish
to become members. Choose one of those non-member nations, and act as its representative by formulating a one-page letter applying
for membership to the EU.
Here are some ideas to keep in mind while writing your application:
• There are certain conditions for membership C a country must meet in order to join the EU. Based on your knowledge of your
chosen nation, as well as any additional online research, explain in your letter how your country meets or plans to meet the
conditions for membership
Many organizations are consulted before making the unanimous decision to admit or deny a country acceptance to the EU. These
consulting organizations include the Council of the EU, the European Commission, and the European Parliament. Make sure to
address the known concerns of these organizations.
