10th Anniversary Of EU Eastern Expansion Nears

FRANKFURT (ODER), GERMANY - APRIL 15: A German policman holds a police signal stick to stop cars to check their vehicle papers and contents near the Polish border on April 15, 2014 in Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany. May 1 will mark ten years since the European Union expanded east, taking in countries like Poland, the Czech Republic and the Baltic states as new members. Although the border region between Germany and Poland is flourishing, the open border has brought a sharp rise in crime, especially car theft, in communities in Germany close to Poland.
