OverviewEvery few years the European Union grows larger and more complex as new states join and members revise the treaties to adjust to new circumstances. The Treaty of Nice is the latest such adjustment, and it comes at a critical time for the European Union as it prepares for the next enlargement. This may add as many as twelve new states, many formerly behind the Iron Curtain in Central and Eastern Europe, and the Treaty of Nice attempts to ensure the existing Union is functioning well enough to absorb them. Member states have revised the composition of the Commission, the way the Council votes, the rules of the Court of Justice and the role of the European Parliament. Fundamental changes, say some, enough to prepare for enlargement. Merely superficial, say others, and another Intergovernmental Conference will be needed before the Union can enlarge. This volume analyses the changes brought by the Treaty and soberly assesses how far they go to ensure the enlarged Union can function efficiently in the future.
