assess the impact that the accession of these countries would have on the industrial structure of the EU;/2022

 You are the research assistant for an MP who is to participate in a debate on the

 

importance of the manufacturing sector to the economy. You have been asked

 

to produce a list of the arguments that are likely to be used by both sides in the

 

debate: that is, reasons why the decline does matter and the set of counterarguments. Provide a suitable list.

 

You work for an organisation that provides European intelligence to local

 

businesses and the media. Your line manager has to give a presentation at an

 

international conference on the likely effects that enlargement of the EU will have

 

on industrial structure and has asked you to research the topic. You are required

 

to:

 

(a) collect the necessary information on the industrial structures of the potential

 

new entrants;

 

(b) assess the impact that the accession of these countries would have on the

 

industrial structure of the EU;

 

(c) assess the likely impact of membership on the industrial structures of the

 

countries themselves.
