<jats:p> Since 1989 an extremely rapid process of integration through the market has been taking place between the eu and Central and Eastern Europe. This operates through the three vehicles of integration: trade, foreign direct investment, and outward-processing trade, and has been encouraged by trade concessions and the process of legal approximation. In contrast, many of the political questions relating to enlargement in areas such as the Common Agricultural Policy, the Structural Funds, and Economic and Monetary Union still have not been resolved definitively. There remains a binomial asymmetry between the economic (market) and political aspects of integration. </jats:p>
