....show me one report of a country outside of Europe who wants to join the EU? :|
"Morocco
Morocco submitted an application to join the EU (then EEC) in July 1987, but it was turned down by the Council later in the year. The application was rejected on the grounds that it did not consider Morocco a European country. Although there are factors such as the developing economy or unresolved border issues with several of its neighbours and the occupation of Western Sahara, a European Union Association Agreement similar to that applied to Tunisia and Algeria is implemented between Morocco and the EU."
"The principle of Israel joining the European Union has been supported by politicians in both Israel and Europe, including the former Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom[49] and the former Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi[50] Two Italian MEPs are currently campaigning in favour of Israeli membership.[51] An opinion poll in 2004 showed that 85% of Israelis would support an application for membership.[52]
The Israeli government has hinted several times that an EU membership bid is a possibility, but the EU itself proposes instead the closest possible integration "just short of full membership." Faster advancement of such plans is somewhat hampered by the current instability in the Middle East. Much international criticism of the occupation of the Palestinian territories also comes from European capitals. European public opinion of Israel is poor."
"Dependencies of EU member states
There are multiple Special member state territories, some of them are not fully covered by the EU treaties and apply EU law only partially, if at all. See also the territories not covered by the Schengen treaty. It is possible for a dependency to change its status regarding the EU and/or some particular treaty or law provision. The territory may change its status from participation to leaving or from being outside to joining."
Then we have, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Azerbajan, who all wants to become EU members.
There have even been theories about Canada and Russia joining, and there are widespread belief that former Commonwealth nations, and current commonwealth nations wants/could join"
