The
core stones of the EU have always been 4 freedoms what made the Union desirable
and promising. However, the EU enlargement is not only physical – with new members
joining, but also increasing in powers and regulatory fields. With Lisbon
Agreement the EU evolved from an economic to ‘socio-economic’ union which
caused the official shift from freedoms to more restrictions and regulation.
Thus, nowadays the consequences of the enlargement depend on the chosen further
direction: getting back to the promotion of 4 freedoms or expanding rigid
regulation on markets.
