EU to offer conditional single-market access to candidate countries

Original: " EU to offer single-market access to candidate countries Economic benefits would be conditional and can be taken away i

The European Union is preparing to give candidate countries partial access to its single market before they formally join. Under the plan, economic benefits would be conditional and could be withdrawn if a country backslides on democratic standards or shares sensitive technology with unfriendly governments. The proposal ties market rewards directly to rule-of-law progress, reinforcing the EU's approach of making accession benefits gradual and reversible.

Why now: The plan links economic privileges to democracy and security conditions, a notable shift in EU enlargement policy.
