Do you think that Ukraine has more possibilities to take part ijn EU?

Question

Do you think that if Ukraine and Turkey join the Eu at the same time will it cause the EU to replace the USA as the most powerfull country/economy in the world and lead the dollar to such a low interesting as argentinian pesos?

Answer 1

Ukraine has little likelihood of being invited to join the EU in the next 15 years.

Ukraine's economy is stumbling and unstable, and the government discourages foreign investment, it over regulates, and quality of export is substandard. This is seen by many major economic standards researchers as the main reason their economy is unstable and that the EU is unlikely to grant them more than European Neighbor status in the near future.

Also, Ukraine's ecological and human rights stance needs to change significantly to be in line with what the EU requires for compliance. The European Commission has stated repeatedly that membership is not out of the question for Ukraine, but it is unlikely in the next 10-20 years.

In my opinion, the EU has not been an economic boon for upcoming countries - at least short term. It is often a false increase in strength - prices outpace income as people expect the switchover to the Euro, and it actually makes the economies stumble. Also, they are still independent economies, not a single economy (visit Poland or Romania some time, and compare it to Italy - you will understand what I mean).

The United States economy will remain strong simply because the US dollar still goes a long way economically. Although the US dollar is weak against the Euro, the cost of living in the US is comparatively cheaper, and wages much higher.

Answer 2

Almost all countries wanted to join the EU to have a strong economic bloc. Thus, Turkey and Ukraine are more likely to join the EU.
