EU Commission floats safeguards amid bloc expansion plans

Original: EU Commission floats new safeguards as bloc considers expansion

The European Commission has proposed new safeguard mechanisms as the European Union weighs plans to admit new member states. With enlargement potentially bringing in countries whose economies and institutions differ sharply from current members, the safeguards are meant to protect the bloc's functioning, budget and policies during and after any expansion.

Why now: EU enlargement discussions have renewed attention on how the bloc would absorb new members without disrupting its institutions.
