Born amid the devastation *wrought by Hitler, the European Coal and Steel Community *has come a long way, and it is about to take another giant leap forward tomorrow. Ten nations, and their 75 million people, are joining the European Union in that club"s most ambitious enlargement ever. For much of Central and Eastern Europe, *severed from the West by the Nazi blitzkrieg and Stalin"s subsequent "liberation," this *amounts to the lifting of the Iron Curtain. *1 made by, created by, wrought는 wring란 고어의 과거 *2 has significantly advanced, has devedoped significantly *3 cut off, separated from *4 means That said, the enlargement *does pose a *daunting challenge, which is why there has been plenty of *grumbling *leading up to this step. Western Europeans couldn"t argue with the historical and moral *imperative of opening the door to their cousins to the east - and the Balkan wars of the last decade added a sense of urgency to the matter. But they have *balked *at the cost of making them full members. *1 does provide, does present, 여기서 does는 강조의 do *2 extreme, difficult to overcome *3 complaining *4 beforehand *5 moral question *6 complained *7 at the price of, at the expense of The result looks dangerously like a Europe with different *tiers of citizenship. Although Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Baltic states and the others will reap immediate benefits from joining a common market of 25 nations and 450 million people, their citizens will initially not enjoy the freedom to work in any member nation, a freedom enjoyed by current union residents. They will not share fully in Europe"s *lavish system of farm *subsidies, nor receive anywhere near as much in development aid as nations like Spain and Ireland did when they joined. *1 levels, four tier system of grades *2 plentiful, extravant *3 money given by farmers by the government to stabilize the price of produce 동사(daiz)와 명사(diz)로 쓰인다. Economic realities have made such compromises unavoidable.

The European Union"s governance will be further tested, though Europe"s proposed constitution may help. The E.U. has to become as much a union of citizens as it is of nations. It needs to be more democratic, and its member nations will have to surrender even more sovereignty for this to happen. *Forging a common foreign policy will remain a challenge, as the conflict in Iraq made clear. President Bush is no doubt *thrilled that the union"s newest members are mostly pro-American. But economic integration has a way of altering nations" interests. And on the most consequential decision facing Europe this year, it isn"t clear that there will be a coalition willing to embrace the next moral imperative: setting a timetable for Turkey"s eventual admission to the union. *1 creating, making *2 excited After each new achievement, the European Union"s next challenge has seemed more formidable. Europeans can only hope that their old coal and steel community continues to exceed expectations.
