I1L2T3 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Just staying positive you know Positive or unreasonably optimistic? What I'm seeing at businesses that are clients of our company is very worrying. ---------- Post added 27-04-2017 at 21:07 ---------- But that's only because Croatia is a new EU member so you have temporary transitional restrictions. Once these transitional restrictions expire you get free movement. ---------- Post added 27-04-2017 at 19:44 ---------- And from 1st November 2019 you can expect the following territories to apply for EU membership: Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, and Turkey. Turkey? Never going to happen so stop the lies. The others are way off with convergence criteria so not happening any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frans2755 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I would be more interested in what's happening in the forgotten towns of the UK,full of forgotten people who wanted to take their country back as they had no voice,Brexit will be judged by these,not by what the EU does or doesn't do. At last some wise words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horribleblob Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Turkey? Never going to happen so stop the lies... Even before the recent developments in Turkey, EU membership was not on the cards while Turkish troops continued to occupy north Cyprus. And to think that some people actually bought the Sun headline of June 2016: "More than 700,000 Turks 'will flock to live and work in Britain after country joins EU'".

Puggie Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 You're all forgetting that expansionism isn't dead. It's very much part of the EU's DNA. Once upon a time you'd be mocked for suggesting the likes of Romania and Slovakia would become fully fledged EU members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalga Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 we did try to tell them The masses soon fall for the propaganda of the Right Wing Daily Rags.and now this: “We can see how tough those negotiations are going to be at times,” she said. “We need the strongest possible hand, the strongest possible mandate and the strongest possible leadership as we go into those talks. Yet our opponents are already seeking to disrupt those negotiations – at the same time as 27 other European countries line up to oppose us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggie Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Why would that be?,they are both in Europe At the time it was unthinkable, just like we think it's unthinkable for Bosnia or Albania or Turkey to join today. Don't forget the EU started out as a gentleman's club. There's no denying it has morphed into something [very unattractive] today. Who knows - perhaps Brexit has spooked the EU and perhaps it will change their trajectory as a result. Edited April 27, 2017 by Puggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
