MY 5 Ideas related to the European Union

Welcome to my blog! This is my first post on this blog and it is about 5 topics that are related to the European Union and I like the most. I hope you find them interesting... feel free to comment…


1.       The first thing that came to my mind when I was thinking about writing my academic paper was “Accession of Macedonia to the European Union”. Republic of Macedonia is a small country located in Southeast Europe which is one of the five remaining candidate countries for accession to the European Union .This topic is of a great importance not only for my country, but also for me, as a citizen. This issue definitely concerns me greatly, and I would be more then interested to write on this topic, researching all the advantages and disadvantages my country would have if it becomes part of the European Union. 


2.       The second thing that also concerns me greatly is the ERASMUS Lifelong Learning ProgrammeErasmus is one example of how The European Union helps young people to pursue their dreams and to experience different cultures and styles of living and studying abroad. Being one of the students who have the opportunity to experience a semester in a foreign country, I could write a paper on this topic, which will contain all the information of how this exchange programme, with a financial aid, helps students to gain new knowledge and experience.


3.       Another thing I am interested in is the “Membership criteria”.  I know that any European country can apply for membership in the European Union, as long as it respects the democratic values of the European Union,  but what I want to know more about is which issues are discussed and negotiated when a country is on the way to becoming a part of the European Union.


1.       I also think that the topic about “the Euro as a currency in Europe” is very interesting. I would like to do some research about what kind of role plays this single currency in the European Union – Economically as well as politically. 


5.       Last but not least, I did quite a research about “The European Ecological Federation” which promotes the science of ecology in Europe. It is my opinion that one of the most generous projects European Union engages to is the investment in ecological science. I think that it is quite an interesting topic, and it concerns every one of us, since it is important for the quality of our life.

  1. I think the topics you chose are really interesting. In particular it is important for all of us to learn and hear more about the third one "membership criteria". But in my opinion the topic you should write about is the first one. Not only because you are from Macedonia, but also because you seem really interested in learning more about it :) Also, you wouldn't only focus on the positive, but also the negative aspects the EU has on your country.
