Abstract: Abstract This chapter focusses on the economic implications of European Union enlargement, with particular reference to the Italian economy. Enlargement may be viewed as the merging of two groups of countries; the present EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom (EU-15); and the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs): Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The main factor to be considered here is the creation of a Customs Union and Single Market which enlargement would involve.
