A country with a strong economy would join the European Union in order to help with the financial burdens of other countries True or False

1 answer

False. While a strong economy may contribute to a country’s decision to join the European Union, joining the EU is usually motivated by a combination of factors, including political, economic, and social interests. A country may be more inclined to join the EU to gain access to the single market, benefit from free trade, or enhance political stability and cooperation, rather than solely to help with the financial burdens of other countries. Additionally, new members typically need to meet certain economic criteria and may also receive benefits from the EU, rather than just contributing to others' financial burdens.
