The link between better governance and professional public administration on the one hand, and access to the single market and its economic benefits on the other. must be at the centre of accession negotiations and association relations. Peter Becker and Barbara Lippert suggest in their comment for the German Institute for International and Security Affairs that benefits will only be granted if the conditions are reliably met. If acceding countries’ elites are not pre­pared to adopt the EU’s political, economic and social model, access to the EU single market can only be open to them without formal EU membership. Here, they would still need to comprehensively fulfil the legal obligations, but not necessarily the political and normative conditions. However, the financial support at their disposal in this case would be significantly diminished. https://www.swp-berlin.org#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20reaffirm%20the%20prospect%20of%20acces%C2%ADsion%20and
