EU wants to open single market to Mediterranean countries

EurAcitv writes upon the latest interview with the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood, Štefan Füle, on 12 April 2011. According to him, the European Union should offer its southern neighbors the chance to participate in its single market and join the European Economic Area, which currently includes Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

Füle said the Union needed to be ‘ambitious and creative’ with the revolutions unfolding across the Arab World, not least to prevent them from being ‘stolen’ by extremists.
