- Te unification of Germany did not affect its neighbours in a
- a positive way. Dismantling former East Germany left the West part
- of the country in disarray. Unempolyed East Germans flooded the West in
- serch of jobs. The strong economy of the west saw its strength
- diminishing as a result of this influx.
- It was hoped that the unification would bring economic prosperity to
- Germany, but unfortunately things do not seem to be heading in that
- direction. Germany's neighbours are worried that a less stable Germany
- would affect the future of the EC and the planned union of its members.
