"The enlargement of the EU has been an essential part of its agenda since the outset. The last decade has proved that enlargement is beneficial to the Union overall and makes it more prepared for global challenges. Even though EU enlargement is desirable, all states that wish to join must meet all of the criteria and commitments laid down in EU legislation. This report highlights the fact that EU enlargement must be considered very carefully in the current climate by analysing not only the capacity of a state to comply with European standards but also the capacity of the Union to integrate new states. I believe that states wishing to join the European Union must first and foremost meet the criterion of respect for human rights and the rule of law."@en1
