Since the day of its establishment it endeavours to create prosperity and stability for its citizens – the citizens that are directly or indirectly affected by the EU’s policy and its actions. The aim of this Union is a just society with an attitude of solidarity that promises to support economic prosperity and to create vacancy by making their enterprises more competitive and providing their employers with new abilities and skills. The European Union represents the world’s greatest economic power and provides great financial and technical support to poorer countries. The EU is still in progress when it comes to its composition. There are countries that are – due to their economic situation and their attitudes – a challenge when it comes to integration into the Union.

The essay shall provide an overview of Norway’s pros and cons and the reasons why they still have not
