Webinar on the EU enlargement: Eurostat’s statistical cooperation
The livestream of this online webinar took place on 17 October 2024 from 11.00 to 12.00 CEST.
This year, the EU celebrated the 20th anniversary of its historic enlargement. 20 years have passed since 1 May 2004, when 10 countries – Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia – and over 74 million new citizens joined the European Union, marking a major milestone in European integration.
Did you know that Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye, and Ukraine are currently candidate countries to become EU members?
This webinar will introduce you to Eurostat’s role in the EU enlargement process, its cooperation with the European neighbourhood policy group as well as the EU candidate countries and the potential candidate in the field of statistics.
It was part of the European Statistics Day 2024 initiative: ‘Official statistics, a window for understanding society’.
