Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of any EU plans for future enlargement.
The European Union adopted new methodology on Enlargement in February 2020, designed to offer incentives for progress and to create disincentives for backsliding on the key reforms candidate countries are required to implement. As and when candidate countries meet the requirements set by the EU for accession, it will be for EU members at the time to decide whether to grant membership.
