The integration process raised many doubts, including the concerns about the capacity of the EU institutions to absorb the wider variety of opinions that would have to be taken into account in the decision-making process. Questions were raised about the costs of the enlargement, as most of the newcomers had significantly lower income levels than the average of the incumbent Member States.
Key Words:  Accession process, acquis communautaire

ZAŠTO SU POTREBNI NOVI "TALASI" PROŠIRENJA EU?
Proces integracije sa sobom nosi velike sumnje, uključujući brigu vezanu za apsorbcioni kapacitet institucija EU da uvaže raznovrsnost mišljenja koje bi trebalo uzeti u obzir u procesu donošenja odluka. Vrlo važna su i pitanja u vezi troškova proširenja, s obzirom da je većina novopridruženih zemalja imala znatno niži nivo dohotka u odnosu na prosek „starih" zemalja članica.
