Deepening of the EU and the up side of having 27 members as a pool

Certain member(s) of the then EU15 saw the then upcoming 2004 mega-enlargement (from 15 to 25) as an (sneaky) opportunity to delay if not avert the deepening of the union.

IMO the 2004, 2007 and future enlargements are a moral duty for the EU.

How about deepening then?

Well, what those certain members probably did not realise, then, or even now, is that the up side of having 27 members is that there are enough for a 26, 20, 17 or even 15 member European political union!
