Development of EU accessing requirements for member states
As European integration developed, so did the requirements for acceding states. The accession criteria for joining the European Union, nowadays very well known as the Copenhagen Criteria, have developed over time in response to the EU's gradual expansion and the need to ensure that new Member States adhere to the Union's core values and requirements. The evolution of these criteria can be summarised in several key stages.
