In December last year it was decided to expand the European Union with 10 new countries. The significantly larger EU will be borne in May 2004. The outlined development will dramatically change the Union affecting both relations between Europe and East Asia but significantly also the role of the new EU on the world's political scene.

Major changes must be expected. These will however all happen at a time where the world already faces significant challenges both politically and economically.
