Answer 1

The new countries might be interested in joining the European Union (EU) for the following reasons: Provides economic benefits, provides Goods are free to move across borders and boost economies, citizens may live where they like, and boost the labor pool, and consumers have access to a wider range of better quality products.

These are some of the many advantages that newly formed countries such as Croatia, Latvia, Slovenia, and many others could have in they were accepted as members of the European Union. Buy the political leaders have to have in mind that the European Union has so many requisites to grant membership, and not all these new countries are in a position to be part of it.

Answer 2

For sure:

provides Goods are free to move across borders and boost economies.
Consumers have access to a wider range of better quality products.
The unified countries share military responsibilities. (The EU today mostly hold together when it is under attack (under the NATO) and generally back each other up when in a crisis (as seen when Russia makes threats, or under terrorist attack)

Not so sure: 

Provides economic benefits (i guess since they are trading, and so economy is boosted)
Companies are able to spead across EU countries. (new companies can most likely move to different areas without as much restrictions as say, a company from China to Britain)

Most likely not:
Citizens may live where they like, and boost the labor pool. (just because they are part of the EU, doesn't mean all of europe is together in one nation. They are still different nations within the EU)

hope this helps
