On 1 May 2004, ten countries joined the EU: Poland, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta. On
the 10th anniversary of the most extensive European enlargement ever, the
EurActiv network reflects on its achievements, and challenges.

The tenth anniversary is especially significant, as it is taking place three
weeks before European Parliament elections, in which anti-EU parties are
expected to make a particularly strong showing.
Polish MEPs have a say
EurActiv Poland’s Krzysztof Kokoszczyński discusses the work of Polish MEPs, and whether they have managed to make an impact on the pan-European legislative body.
Kokoszczyński: There are 51 Polish MEPs in the European Parliament. The majority of them (28) are in the centre-right European Peoples’ Party (EPP), with the European Conservative and Reformists group (ECR) taking second place, with 12 MEPs, followed by seven Socialists and Democrats (S&D) MEPs. Among these MEPs, there are a few who have proven to be very proficient in negotiating the intricacies of the European policymaking, and have received both national and European awards for their work.
