CoESS warmly welcomes the member federations of the new EU Member States as active members

Since 1 May 2004, the European Union has welcomed ten new EU Member States. The historic enlargement of the European Union is of high importance to CoESS and has direct consequences on the CoESS membership.

According to the CoESS Statutes (Article 1.5), the associate member representing the state which becomes a member of the European Union, automatically becomes an active member of CoESS, with the rights and obligations incumbent on this position.

Therefore, CoESS warmly welcomes the member federations of Cyprus, the Czech Republik, Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. CoESS is extremely pleased with their new active membership status and is looking forward to a strengthening of its cooperation with these member federations.

The CoESS General Secretariat remains at full disposal of these new active member federations.
