Who deserves to not be admited in the EU?

@Aru: Ahh, kinda like Turkey then but without the Special Partnership offer.

Yes. All Morocco got was the finger.

I agree, and Russia. Well if it ever does absorb all these countries the EU may as well call itself the Fourth Reich with a human face :thumbsdow

Wait! What is Israel doing on the poll? They are Middle-Eastern, not European.

Same as Morocco.

I voted Israel, Marroco and Iceland - none of them should be considered as potential candidate imo

So what, any African/Arab/Jewish state can just apply for EU memebership? So long as they meet the criteria.

I suggest they create NEU - "Not EU" - countries that are pissed off for not getting admitted into European Union.

why are marocco, armenia and israel on the list at all?

marocco has as much chance of joining the EU as mexico does - which is none

and i doubt israel would even want to join the EU nevermind that it is a middle easter country

although i think if russia joined the EU then the EU would become a superpower with all those natural resources that russia has

Let's see maybe because Armenia is member of Council of Europe, EU Eastern Partnership, and has received promises from EU for Associate Membership in the EU in several years. Armenia is politically in Europe and considered by EU to be in the European sphere.

especially with concept of neo-ottomanism;)

New Zealand. It's nowhere near Europe.

There should be two main conditions for entering the EU.

1)- Geographically INSIDE EUROPE, so Turkey, Armenia, Morocco Israel etc cant join.

2)- Its inclusion would benefit all the existing members, so we dont want poor countries like Georgia or Armenia joining, they just want to be benefited by thye Euro, its like a weakling joining a rugby team.

Turkey is inside Europe, so...you know, fail.

I don't really see why so many are opposed to Turkey, I've seen very few reasons given to support such bias against them.
