Ten countries joined the European Union in 2004 and two more in 2007. They added greatly to the diversity of the enlarged EU in terms of income levels, as illustrated in Figure 1.1. GDP per capita in Bulgaria and Romania in 2007 was only 4045% of the EU-27 average, even when adjusted for price differences across countries. Slovenia and Cyprus had the highest level of incomes of the New Member States, close to the EU average and the level of Greece. The relative levels of GDP, however, are not the whole story. Households are directly affected by the level and changes of their incomes, rather than that of the GDP, which has other components as well (e.g. profits).1
