On 1 May 2004, ten new countries joined the European Union (EU). It was the fifth and largest round of enlargement in the history of European unification. New members are the five Central European states of Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary, the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Cyprus. The enlargement of the EU to 25 states documents the overcoming of the former East-West division of Europe. Germany is in the middle of the largest single market in the world and is expected to benefit politically and economically from this central location. Already, trade with eastern neighboring states accounts for around twelve percent of total German foreign trade.
