EU27 - Overview.
In 2004 the European Union embraced ten new members, eight of
them from Central Europe. In 2007 Bulgaria and Romania join this
Union of 25 countries and made it the EU27.
The rehabilitation of Central Europe after half a century of
communism has seen the economies of the new members grow at a
healthy rate, in some cases four times as fast as the euro-zone
average.
Enlargement has been a success. It has boosted growth in the
EU New member countries. Meanwhile, East European governments
have pressed on with economic reforms. But for the new countries,
it must be a very difficult task to do
everything at the same time and to introduce the whole European
legislation into their own national rules.
