Integration to the EU includes elimination of barriers to free movement of goods, services, capital and persons, implementation of general principles and specific rules of the EU policy, delegation of making decisions and supervision of their implementation to the EU institutions as well as the right to participate in structures of making common decisions and influence further development of the EU. Achievements of Lithuanian economics are concurrent with progressing economic integration into the EU. Lithuanian economic integration covers several stages: Free Trade Area, Customs Union, Single market as well as Economic and Monetary Union. Lithuania, after becoming member of the European Union, experienced fast social, economic and political transformation. Significant structural changes in economics took place, related to changes in foreign trade. Financial support of the EU allows Lithuania enhance its role on the European and international stage. From the economic point of view, participating in the single market of Europe helped to improve level of trade and welfare. Lithuania, after becoming member of the European Union, not only receives support from the European Union, but also has new possibilities in the market. The period of programming 2004-2006 was rather short, so we had to make significant change in economics during the short period, in order to achieve social and economic cohesion in Lithuania. During 2004-2006 and 2006-2013 great investments of Lithuanian and the EU assets were intended in the Single Programming Document. This plays the main role in creating conditions for growth, which will allow Lithuania to realize its potential. It is important to emphasize, that new members of the European Union experience pressure to learn the rules and intercept experience during very short time. Rules and experience of structural funds that exist today were developed since the end of the eighth decade, so the old EU members had more than ten years to adapt national systems to structural policy of the EU and to reforms of the changing system. It may be said that member states have almost "optimal", but different models of administration of structural and cohesion funds, whereas new members had to intercept system of implementation, which was used by member states of the EU for a rather long time.

La Unión Europea (UE) es una organización en continua evolución desde su creación a mediados del siglo XX. Su capacidad de adaptación a las necesidades generadas por el proceso de integración es encomiable. La UE ha superado obstáculos imponentes, como la crisis derivada del rechazo a la Comunidad Europea de Defensa y la Unión Política Europea; la activa oposición de un titán político como el presidente francés, De Gaulle; diversas crisis económicas y monetarias; el Brexit y el auge del populismo. Constantemente, la UE ha superado las crisis que le afectaban con la introducción de elementos estabilizadores comunes introducidos por el proceso de integración, creando más Europa. En la actualidad se enfrenta a un nuevo reto, la adaptación a un progreso tecnológico brutal que influirá en el modelo de sociedad imperante en las próximas décadas. Ante este reto, la UE pretende crear un Mercado Único Digital europeo, entre otras iniciativas, que evidentemente tendrá una influencia substancial en las relaciones económicas entre sus miembros y a escala internacional.

Европейский союз расширяется. И это объективный процесс, связанный с глобализацией мирового хозяйства. Однако если первоначально членами ЕС становились государства со стабильной экономикой и многолетней практикой партнерских отношений, то государства, недавно получившие членство в Евросоюзе, и те, кто сейчас претендует на это, имеют огромный разрыв по уровню ВВП на душу населения.

Die Finanz- und Schuldenkrise hat gezeigt, wie eng die Spielräume zur wirtschaftlichen und politischen Steuerung der Europäischen Union abgesteckt sind. Mit Blick auf die Beschränkungen der derzeitigen europäischen Verträge und auf die Schwierigkeiten, kurzfristig eine Vertragsrevision in Angriff zu nehmen, stellt sich die Frage, was geeignete Methoden und vorstellbare Szenarien sind, um die Europäische Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion zu stärken. Nach einer Bestandsaufnahme der verschiedenen Positionen der EU-Institutionen und -Mitgliedstaaten bezüglich einer Vertragsrevision werden Vor- und Nachteile dreier verschiedener Wege aufgezeigt: erstens, eine Neuerung innerhalb der bestehenden Verträge; zweitens, eine Änderung der europäischen Verträge; drittens, ein zwischenstaatlicher Vertrag. Eine Ideallösung wird es dabei nicht geben. Ein möglicher vertretbarer Kompromiss könnte etwa die Umsetzung von Maßnahmen bis Ende 2014 sein, die keinerlei Änderung der Verträge erfordern; sowie die Einleitung einer Vertragsänderung, welche unter anderem die Eurozone stabilisieren und die demokratische Legitimität der europäischen Institutionen stärken würde.

Discusses the advantages of a common currency in ensuring equal competition, keeping the value of the currency stable, and removing the exchange risk.

In Europe, exiting the crisis has itself become a crisis, for two reasons: imbalances in the international monetary system & in the euro area, along with contradictions in different national policies. Exiting the euro area is not a credible policy for member countries, & nor is accelerated monetary integration. This leaves progressive coordination as the only feasible scenario, in which Franco-German agreement will play a vital role. Adapted from the source document.
