EU to offer Single Market access to candidate countries
Original: # EU to offer # SingleMarket access to candidate countries Economic benefits can be taken away if non-members backslide
The European Union plans to grant candidate countries access to the Single Market before full membership, but with conditions attached. Economic benefits could be withdrawn if countries backslide on democracy or share sensitive technology with unfriendly governments, according to reporting by Politico tied to Ursula von der Leyen.
Why now: The conditional, revocable nature of the offer is a notable shift in EU enlargement policy that observers are debating.
