Über die Debatte
Ist die Europäische Union noch attraktiv für potentielle Beitrittskandidaten? Der Ministerpräsident der seit 2005 in Beitrittsverhandlungen stehenden Türkei scherzte kürzlich im Kreml darüber, die EU zu vergessen, wenn sein Land in der asiatischen Konkurrenzorganisation unterkommt. Und die Schweizer Bevölkerung entschied bereits in zwei Volksabstimmungen gegen einen EU-Beitritt.
