Presented by Philippe Dessaint, this special programme will look into the processes and procedures of the EU expansion process which, aside from the tough political challenges to be dealt with, raises numerous questions on how a Europe with 27 members will function on a daily basis.

In a time where Europe is touched by crisis, this programme looks back over the economic and social repercussions of integration but also how populations have dealt with their “new” eastern and southern neighbours.

Several prominent European figures will be on the programme to discuss the above topics via reports filmed in several countries that have recently become EU member states, and also candidate countries.
