I have italian nationality so I'm part of the EU, but I'm venezuelan and I'm thinking aboiut living in Europe someday but I'm not sure. The biggest problem the EU has right now (well I studied enonomic and politic moves of the 20th century and is considered by many the biggest problem) is that they integrated so many countries in a very short time, countries that did not have a politic or economic stability and can't compete with the more industralized countries of the EU. Actually the EU 15 didn't want to integrate these countries (from eastern Europe) so fast, but US pressured EU's leaders to accept that integration because Russia was and is getting more powerful and could attract eastern europe again to form their own coalition. Right now we see a lot of people from the east migrating to west Europe and some countries just cannot match the market of the big potencies.
By the way, I've heard that some european countries that don't belong to the EU (like switzerland, iceland, norway and other scandinavian countries) want to be on the Euro zone because their porpietary currency makes it difficult to market their products competitevely. Is that correct?
