Agenda 2000 addresses economic and monetary union (EMU) issues, as well as expansion to the east. The first wave of new applicants includes Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Cyprus, Slovenia, and Estonia. Plans for enlargement will likely increase disputes about EU's structure, finances and major policies, especially agricultural policies.
