How long does joining the EU typically take? (Amount of time each step took current member countries to join the European Union, in years)

  1. tbh the real question is whether/when the EU decides to bring in some new members. This graph is largely driven by the 2004 enlargement

    It would be interesting to have the application date on the Y axis, and to include non-member candidates (Turkey t_t)
