在欧盟扩大之前，人们普遍预计，加入国将对欧盟的环境治理产生负面影响。推而广之，欧洲议会（EP）作为环境冠军的声誉可能会受到来自加入国的欧洲议会议员涌入的威胁。对1999年至2009年期间欧洲议会对环境立法的所有修正案的分析表明，扩大后的欧洲议会在确保其修正案成为法律方面更为成功，但这些修正案不那么激进。这些变化源于欧洲议会扩大和意识形态向右翼的广泛转变所引发的制度适应。
It was widely anticipated before European Union enlargement that the accession states would have a negative impact on EU environmental governance. By extension, the European Parliament's (EP) reputation as an environmental champion might be threatened by the influx of MEPs from accession states. An analysis of all EP amendments to environmental legislation between 1999 and 2009 reveals that post‐enlargement the EP was more successful at securing the adoption of its amendments into law but that these amendments were less radical. These changes arise from the institutional adaptation prompted by enlargement and a broad ideological shift to the right within the EP.
