Abstract
On the 16th April, 2003, ten new members were signing the adhesion treaty to the european union, in front of the Parthenon in Athens. The adhesion of these ten new countries, among which eight were ex-communist countries, represented a historic moment : the european unification eastwards, so much hoped since 1989, was occurring at last. Nevertheless, the celebration of the "european reunification" was also felt as a moment of division and uncertainty towards the future of the union : the Iraqi crisis was indeed revealing the underlying split inside the Europe of 25, and was creating confusion about the cohesion and the role of the future enlarged union. The Europe of 25 is a factor of chances but also of risks. The enlarged european union will not be the same at a bigger scale. The sphere of action of the european institutions is changing and it has to be adapted to a brand new structure.
