Pros:
| ·      1. Influence on international matters: Joining the EU member states opens the opportunity to become one of the influential blocks in 500 million people in the 28 member states.
| ·      2. Increased security: Over the last eight years, there have been security concerns on increase in terrorism and refugee movements. Constant communication of governments involved in the EU has led to improved security.
| ·      3.Growth: Investors are willing to invest in businesses within the EU because of trading advantages created by the member states.
| ·      4.Maintaining individual sovereignty: Each member state should maintain individual sovereignty since the member states have unique political considerations.
| ·     5.Leverage to better trade agreements: Due to a large customer base and purchase of items at low prices, EU provides leverage for better trade deals.

Cons:
| ·      1.Insufficient policies: The CAP reforms established benefit the landowners instead of offering social benefits. Agricultural market policies put minimum prices on food resulting in high prices for consumers and this encourages over-supply.
| ·      2. Cost: The cost of EU membership is high and the contributions vary each year.
| ·      3. Few controls on individual laws: There are strict security protocols and tighten border controls but there are few controls to individuals regulations.
| ·      4. Reduced forms of border controls: A treaty established in 1985 reduced border checks at the common borders thus vehicle can pass without inspection
| ·      5. Increased taxation: There are increased fees and costs to cover certain needs of the union.Added taxes are passed on to the consumers to help in paying those costs.
| ·      6. Net Migration: Immigration to foreign lands has led to congestion of people in some countries resulting in congestion on roads and increased house prices.

1. What changes did it bring with it? the change in money coins and paper from Maltese lira to euros.

2. This was not really a good change because the Maltese lira was stronger.

3. Advantages:  we are part of a group of countries who help us grow.
4. Disadvantages: we are not totally free anymore because the EU takes most decisions for us.

# data[].attributes.body
We had to change our money from Lira to Euros.

They were some positive and some negative changes depends the circumstances.

The advantages are that they helped with money, with tourism and improved economic stability.

The disadvantages are that they forced and imply rules that goes against Maltese beliefs and that there is more bureaucracy and less democracy .

Our money changed.

They were both good and bad changes

The advantages are that travelling became easier so you can study abroad and the disadvantages are that overcrowding due to immigration since we are a small country.

The EU help us with financial resources to improve our quality of life and our country, like building roads and tourism.

Unfortunately being part of the EU forces us to employ rules that might go against our beliefs.
