Zusammenfassung
  • Enlargement is currently a peripheral topic for all CEE countries and does not dominate the national political debate. The issue is expected to get more and more politicised as the accession process progresses, thus requiring Ukrainian stakeholders to start preparing the ground for negotiations on the expected issues now. The member states that joined the EU during the 'Big Bang' enlargement of 2004, often perceived as having entered the Union for predominantly political reasons, now adopt a demanding stance toward candidate countries, emphasizing the full implementation of EU accession requirements. Agriculture and access to cohesion funds are the most sensitive areas in Ukraine’s EU accession process. The CEE countries, largely dependent on the EU financial support under CAP and cohesion policy, fear losing their net beneficiaries statuses.
