EU enlargement

The European Union has expanded several times since its foundation, but the expansion has always concerned European countries. Becoming a member of the EU requires meeting certain criteria, such as respecting the principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, as well as the existence of a functioning market economy. The Republic of Congo does not meet these geographic criteria because it is located in Africa.
