EU faces pressure to reform its own enlargement process
Original: Reformdruck nicht nur auf Beitrittskandidaten - auch auf die EU Die EU will reformbereite Beitrittskandidaten nicht endl
The EU wants to stop making reform-ready accession candidates wait indefinitely, but strict membership criteria remain unmet, prompting discussion of new models for enlargement. The debate also turns inward: the EU itself may need internal reforms before it can absorb new members. Commentators note the pressure to reform applies to Brussels as much as to candidate countries.
Why now: Ongoing enlargement debates are pushing the EU to rethink accession rules and its own readiness to reform.
