Brussels unveils plans to stagger benefits for new EU members
Original: Probation period and limited benefits: Brussels unveils enlargement-proofing plans
The European Commission has presented plans to reform how the EU absorbs new member states, proposing a probation-style transition period during which newcomers would face limited access to certain benefits before full integration. The aim is to make enlargement more manageable for the bloc's budget and institutions as candidate countries such as Ukraine and those in the Western Balkans await accession.
Why now: The European Commission has just unveiled new proposals on how to manage future EU enlargement without straining the bloc.
