- Abstract

The expansion of the internal market offers third countries a strong opportunity to identify themselves as belonging to the wider European community and ensures a long-term commitment to the European integration project. While the formal, physical and administrative borders of the EU remain, the boundaries of the internal market continue to be blurred and the European integration project broadened and deepened for the benefit of security and prosperity in the region.
