SayPro One of the striking things about the various initiatives and proposals that have been on the table since 1950 is the subject of European Unification (Lodge J and Spinelli 1991) Since the first enlargement of the European Community in 1973 northward which saw the inclusion of the United Kingdom Ireland and Denmark more and more countries were clamouring to join the European union and have a taste of feeling united When the EC recommended that another 10 countries join the union in 2004 it pushed the European Union towards a new level as it become involved in a larger Eastern European market which in turn helped the EU compete in a larger global economy We have seen a lot of change and development across the Union over time but some of the problems faced by the founding fathers still plague our leaders today This Union was to ensure stability across European countries safter the shattering events of the War to guarantee peace for the future of the EU citizens Despite this some people believe that the EU goals have shifted dramatically and are not the same as the original goals of the 1950s It appears that European integration is less prevalent in this current modern society There is a reduced sense of togetherness as a Society Recent surveys taken in different European countries show that some people feel that they are just a citizen of their sole country rather than a citizen of a bigger community- the EU (EU barometer 2020) This in turn could be damaging to prospects of the EU and could lead to countries leaving since their people feel unattached from the unions goals and future development plans
