World's newest country to take first step toward EU membership

Montenegro, which gained independence last summer, will take its first concrete step towards membership of the European Union with the adoption of a pre-membership agreement later this month, officials said Thursday.

When they are an EU member they will have more MEP's than Wales, they will have their own EU Commissioner while Wales cannot, and will negotiate for their own interests at the Council of Ministers, while Wales cannot. Wales needs to be a full member state of the EU, we cannot afford not to be.
