If Ukraine really will be able to join the European Union, in its composition will not be many highly developed countries of Western Europe, a Ukrainian Economist Alexander Koltunova on the Internet representation of the movement.
"By the time when Ukraine will be able to apply for membership in the European Union, And is not earlier than 10 years, the EU is likely to remain the only States of the former socialist camp," writes Koltovich.
The economist stresses that after joining the European Union Croatia in the long term, the most likely candidates for EU membership are Iceland, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey and Montenegro.
"Because of the political and anti-Russian movements, maybe once Ukraine becomes a full member of the EU, but whether there will be someone in this Union at that time?" - he asks.
review of Koltovich, the first real candidate for withdrawal from the Union is the United Kingdom, where " the number of opponents of EU exit over the past year and a half has grown substantially and currently, according to information, recently published by the firm YouGov, is 36%.
"The election results in the UK confirm that the vast majority of British (conservative) has no desire to be and to co-exist in the EU with the countries of the second and the 3rd world. But If to take into account the fact that the UK is outside the Schengen area and the Eurozone, with its own currency, the pound's exit from the EU would not impact negatively on the financial system of the state, " said Koltovich.
The economist stresses that the main problem undermining the European Union, its immigration policy, which Due to the regular influx of immigrants from Africa and Eastern Europe are France and Italy.
"most require to allow them to impose quotas on the entry of Residents from other EU countries (especially poor). Moreover, most Western European countries even More quickly against the plans of Brussels to impose quotas on the distribution of illegal migrants who die on a large scale when you try to get into the European Union through the Mediterranean sea ", - said Koltovich.
"It turns out that leaving the EU for many highly developed countries of Western Europe - a chance to address key migration and, as a consequence, socio-economic issues. How will the EU in a few years? Will there be in its composition the UK, France, Italy, Germany time will tell. One thing is clear that If the EU will be Ukraine, her colleagues on this Association Are only States of the Eastern partnership and selected Eastern European countries", concluded the Economist.
