i agree with cytech. in thre uk, people are happy being part of the eu but are getting fed up with the changes they are making. all countries are different and have there own heritages to preserve.

I think as long as each countries' independance, heritage and tradition is preserved, then it would be a good thing. There's been a lot of negative press over the years here in the UK about the EU - huge amounts of taxpayers' money going in farm subsidies, stupid regulations trying to pointlessly regulate things like banana size, curviness of cucumbers, etc. and something about wanting to rename British chocolate 'Vegelate' because of using vegitable fat or something....
Anyway, I think it depends on that countries' economy and the way it does things. From what I can gather a lot of economies on the continent are quite socialist, whilst the UK's is more like the USA's, so our economy being controlled by Brussels would be a very bad thing for us.
Oh, and we've finally been given a referendum on joining the Euro.... at some stage. Did people in other EU countries all get a referendum on this or not before you joined up?

We (Slovaks) had the referendum about joining to EU. It was very close for joining to EU. Ppl in our country are thinking that membership in EU is a necessary evil . I hope that nobody will be measuring lengh of cucumbers,carrot or whatever from May of 1 st.'cause I've got a garden (joke). On the other hand everything we can expect from EU red tapes.

not everyboda here, in hungary, is happy for it. but i think its not a question of mood, more of logical thinking. we need the eu. i am for it, even i would be more satisfied to march in with better conditions from our side, i mean industrial and political aswell.

@boto43 :
The red tape's one of the main reasons I'm against the UK getting more closely involved with Europe. It's nothing xenophobic, I just think that at the moment it's against the UK's interest. And, as the country that invented red tape, we already have plenty of the damn stuff already!
We did have a vote on joining the EEC (as it was then) in about 1973 - but then we were just voting for joining a trading community with it's benefits only I believe - anyone who's a bit older than me and would remember please correct me if I'm wrong!
We didn't vote on EU superstates or closer integration, so it's good we've finally got a chance to vote on it, when the UK government finally decide to tell us when it will be!

Not I'm who count down, but the clock on the
http://www.magyarorszag.hu/eu site! (Magyarorszag means Hungary)
And yes, I'm sure I'll be happy with the EU membership next year too! It will be good for the economy, the environment, and for me, becouse I'd like to go to the UK for a year and it will be much easier as an EU citizen!
Anyway 5 days, 21 hors, 50 minutes, 20 secounds left and Hungary will be the member of the EU!
Steve
