Ireland plans huge enlargement party

The ten new member states will formally enter the European Union amid a blaze of fireworks and parties under plans drawn up by Ireland – the current holder of the EU Presidency.

On the eve of the ‘Day of Welcomes’, as 1 May has been dubbed, Ireland’s capital is planning to hold a "fireworks extravaganza" as the EU goes from being a 15 member club to one with 25.

huge – obrovský, mohutný to enter sth – vstoupit kam amid – mezi, za (ve smyslu během) blaze – záře, plamen firework – ohňostroj under plans – podle plánů to draw up a plan – vytvořit plán current – současný eve – večer to be dubbed – být přezdíván to hold – pořádat

The following day there will be a big European Fair in the centre of Dublin as well as a concert. All EU leaders have been invited for a "formal ceremony" to mark the occasion not only of the biggest EU enlargement ever but also of a reunited Europe – eight of the new member states were behind the Iron Curtain.

following – následující fair – slavnost, pouť as well as – stejně jako occasion – příležitost ever – doposud, vždy reunited – znovu sjednocený behind – za Iron Curtain – ”železná opona”
