520			_aThis year EU-15 will become EU-25. This paper examines some of the political and economic implications of enlargement for agriculture. It is likely that the hand of the smaller countries will be strengthened and that qualified majority voting will become more important in directing the EU. It will almost certainly lead to the reform of the three main EU institutions - the Commission, Council and Parliament. For the agricultural sector, these changes are likely to make negotiations on future reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy, post enlargement, more difficult and may reduce the finances available from the Structural Funds for rural measures in the current member states.
