Aftalens væsentligste elementer er bl.a. en forbedring af den interinstitutionelle koordination og a˚benhed, idet de tre institutioner opfordres til at styrke deres koordination ved hjælp af deres respektive lovgivningsmæssige dagsordener for at na˚ til enighed om et fælles a˚rligt lovgivningsprogram; etableringen af faste rammer for de ikke-bindende lovgivningsinstrumenter, hvilket burde fremme deres anvendelse, idet de tre institutioner for første gang har fastsat en fælles definition af begreberne samregulering og selvregulering; en øget anvendelse af konsekvensanalyser i Fællesskabets beslutningsproces; og forpligtelsen til at fastsætte en bindende frist for gennemførelsen af direktiverne i national ret, idet denne frist, der skal være sa˚ kort som mulig og som regel ikke overstige to a˚r, fremover skal fremga˚ af ethvert direktiv.
The mainelements of the agreement are: better interinstitutional coordination and transparency, withthe three institutions notifying one another of their respective annual legislative timetableswith a view to reaching agreement on joint annual programming; a stable framework for‘soft law’ instruments, designed to facilitate their future use, with the three institutionshaving agreed for the first time on a common definition of co-regulation and self-regula-tion; increased use of impact assessment in the Community decisionmaking process; acommitment to setting a binding time limit for the transposition of directives into nationallaw: all directives must in future indicate the time limit, which will be as short as possibleand, generally speaking, will not exceed two years.
Pa˚ det operationelle plan arbejdes der desuden videre i kølvandet pa˚ de nyskabelser, der tidligere er blevet indført, bl.a. aktiviteterne under det interinstitutionelle udvalg, der blev oprettet i 2002 med det forma˚l at iværksætte bestemmelserne om aktindsigt i institutionernes dokumenter (R nr. 21).
Work also continued at an operational level in thewake of earlier innovations, such as the activities of the interinstitutional committee set upin 2002 to oversee the implementation of the rules on public access to the institutions’documents (→ point 21).
Ratifikationen af traktaten er indledt og har betydet godkendelse ved afholdelse af folkeafstemninger i næsten alle de fremtidige medlemsstater.
The process of ratifying the Treaty began, and led to its approval in referendumsheld in almost all the future Member States.
Tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien fortsatte i øvrigt med henblik pa˚ disse landes optagelse i EU i 2007.
Accession negotiations continued with Bulgaria and Romania with a view to their joining the EU in 2007.
I marts forelagde Kommissionen en meddelelse om styrkelse af førtiltrædelsesstrategien for Tyrkiet, hvori den foresla˚r en betydelig forøgelse af den finansielle bistand for perioden 2004-2006 og øget samarbejde pa˚ mange omra˚der.
In March, the Commission tabled a communication concerning the strengthening of the pre-accession strategyfor Turkey, in which it proposed a significant increase in financial assistance for theperiod 2004–06 and greater cooperation in various fields.
For at undga˚, at de nye ydre grænser i et udvidet EU kommer til at skabe nye kløfter, har Kommissionen stillet forslag til en ny ambitiøs politik vedrørende EU’s nabolande (»et bredere Europa«) (R nr. 1012).
In order to avoid a situationwhere the enlarged EU’s new external borders created fresh divisions, the Commissionalso proposed an ambitious new neighbourhood policy (‘Wider Europe’) (→ point 1012).

Efter at tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med Cypern, Estland, Letland, Litauen, Malta, Polen, Slovakiet, Slovenien, Tjekkiet og Ungarn var blevet afsluttet pa˚ Det Europæiske Ra˚ds møde i København i december 2002 (2), indledte man ved a˚rets begyndelse den godkendelsesprocedure, der skal give mulighed for, at EU’s udvidelse med det i lande faktisk kan finde sted i fora˚ret 2004.
After accession negotiations were concludedwith Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland,Slovakia and Slovenia at the Copenhagen European Council in December 2002 (2), the approval procedure was launched at the start of the year to allow the effective entry into forceof the enlargement of the European Union to the 10 new members in the spring of 2004.

Within the Community institutions, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 49of the Treaty on European Union, the Commission delivered a favourable opinion to the above effect on 19 February (3); after Parliament had given its assent on 9 April (4), the Counciladopted a decision on 14 April (4) admitting the 10 countries to the European Union and clear- ing the way for the signing of the Accession Treaty.
Sideløbende med den formelle udtalelse vedtog Europa-Parlamentet ogsa˚ samme dag (5) en mere omfattende beslutning om konklusio- nerne fra tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne, hvori det bl.a. opfordrer de nuværende og fremtidige medlemsstater til at samarbejde om udformningen og gennemførelsen af en fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik og tilskynder til en yderligere styrkelse af EU’s institutionelle kapacitet og en stærkere solidaritetsfølelse i gennemførelsen af de fælles politikker; det understreger ogsa˚, at udvidelsesprocessen giver samtlige europæiske lande, der opfylder de politiske kriterier for optagelse i EU, udsigt til medlemskab.
On the same day as its formal opinion (5),Parliament also adopted a broader resolution on the conclusion of the accession negotiations in which it called on the current and future Member States to actively cooperate on the formulation and implementation of a common foreign and security policy and called for furtherstrengthening of the EU’s institutional capacities and a stronger sense of solidarity in the implementation of common policies; it also stressed that enlargement offered the prospect of accession to all European countries which fulfilled the political criteria for EU membership.
I de tiltrædende lande betød godkendelse af princippet om tiltrædelse, ofte kombineret med ratifikation af tiltrædelsestraktaten, at der blev afholdt folkeafstemning i alle lande, undtagen Cypern, med positive resultater. Der var sa˚ledes folkeafstemning i

TILTRÆDELSESTRAKTATEN
TREATY OF ACCESSION
Tiltrædelsestraktaten for det i nye medlemsstater i EU blev undertegnet af de pa˚gældende landes og EU-medlemsstaternes stats- og regeringschefer den 16. april i Athen ved en ceremoni ved foden af Akropolis (3).
The Treaty of Accession of the 10 new Member States of the European Union was signed on 16 April at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens (1) by the Heads of State or Government and foreign ministers of the 10 countries concerned and the current Member States.
Stats- og regeringscheferne for de tre andre kandidatlande (Bulgarien, Rumænien og Tyrkiet) var ogsa˚ til stede.
Their counterparts from the three other candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey) also attended.
»Athen-erklæring« (3), hvori det understreges, at EU i sin nye former et udtryk for et fælles ønske om at bringe a˚rhundreders konflikter til ophør og overvinde tidligere splittelser pa˚ det europæiske kontinent.
The Heads of State or Government of the ‘Fifteen’ and the ‘Ten’ adopted a Declaration of Athens (1) at the ceremony, underlining that the Union in its new form represented a common determination to put an end to centuries of conflict and to transcend former divisions on the European continent.
Tiltrædelsen er en ny kontrakt mellem borgerne og ikke blot en traktat mellem stater, og underskriverne bekræfter, at EU’s evne til at ansvarliggøre ba˚de borgere og medlemsstater er af ganske særlig værdi for projektet.
Considering accession a new contract between citizensand not merely a treaty between States, the signatories affirmed that the essential value ofthe project lay in the ability of the Union to empower both its citizens and its Member States.
De fremhæver de udfordringer, som EU bør fortsætte med at tage op, som at forsvarede grundlæggende menneskerettigheder, fremme bæredygtig udvikling, arbejde for en dynamisk og videnbaseret økonomi, gøre EU til et omra˚de med frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed, arbejde for en mere a˚ben og retfærdig global økonomi og et ægte fælles globalt informationssamfund.
They also highlighted the challenges still facing the Union: the defence of fundamental human rights; fostering sustainable development, a dynamic and knowledgebased European economy and a genuine area of freedom, security and justice; working towardsa more open and equitable global economy and a truly shared global information society.The signatories also emphasised their commitment to facing up to their global responsibilities, particularly through conflict prevention and helping to secure peace and global stability. The Declaration recognised the major significance of democracy as the fundamentalvalue underpinning the Union.
Det erklæres ogsa˚, at EU er fast besluttet pa˚ at leve op til sit globale ansvar, navnlig med støtte til konfliktforebyggelse og fremme af fred og stabilitet i verden.
), the European Council welcomed the considerable efforts by all involved to finalise the Treaty and Act of Accession with a viewto their signing and, in Thessaloniki on 19 and 20 June (3), declared that the results of the referendums in various acceding countries had lent additional momentum to the ratification process (→ point 46), which had to be completed in time for enlargement to takeeffect on 1 May 2004.
Endelig bekræftes det, at demokratiet er den grundlæggende værdi, som EU bygger pa˚.

Athentraktaten er blevet vedtaget ved folkeafstemning i de fremtidige medlemsstater, undtagen Cypern, mende nuværende femten medlemsstater har valgt at ratificere den ved en parlamentsbeslutning.
47.Adaptation of the Act of Accession to the reform of the common agricultural policy.On 27 October, the Commission proposed a decision whereby this reform would beapplied to the enlarged Community (→ point 437).
Kommissionen vedtog den 5. november en samlet opfølgningsrapport om for- beredelserne idet i tiltrædende lande (1) og et strategidokument om de enkelte kandidatlandes fremskridt mod optagelse (2), ledsaget af rapporter om hvert enkelt land.
48.On 5 November, the Commission adopted a comprehensive monitoring report (1)on the state of preparedness of the 10 acceding countries and a strategy paper on the progress towards accession of each of the candidate countries (2), together with the reportson each country.
Alle disse dokumenter blev hilst velkommen og godkendt af Ra˚det den 17. novem-
All of the documents were welcomed and approved by the Council on
Kommissionen angiver, at alle de tiltrædende lande har, hvad anga˚r den samlede administrative og retlige kapacitet, indført tilstrækkelige betingelser for gennemførelse af regelværket i deres retsvæsen og forvaltning, men at det vil være ønskeligt med yderligere forbedringer i alle lande.
The Commission states with regard to administrative and judicial capacity that sufficientconditions are in place to implement existing Community rules (the acquis) in all of theacceding countries, but that there is also room for improvement in all of them.
Hvad anga˚r opfølgningen af de særlige tilsagn, som de tiltrædende lande har afgivet under forhandlingerne, fremga˚r det af Kommissionens rapporter, at der er opna˚et en høj grad af tilpasning til regelværket.
With regardto the specific undertakings given by the acceding countries during the negotiations, the Commission reports state that they have reached a high level of alignment with the acquis.
For Rumæniens og Bulgariens vedkommende bekræfter Kommissionen, at disse to kandidatlande stadig opfylder de politiske kriterier for tiltrædelse og har iværksat omfattende reformer pa˚ en række omra˚der.
The Commission confirms that Romania and Bulgaria continue to fulfil the political criteria foraccession and have undertaken major reforms in certain areas.
Kommissionen konkluderer, at Bulgarien i økonomisk henseende opfylder kriterierne om en levedygtig markedsøkonomi, som pa˚ kort sigt vil kunne fungere i EU, hvis man fortsætter med at gennemføre reformprogrammer, som giver mulighed for at afhjælpe de sidste hindringer. Rumænien vil først kunne blive betragtet som et land med en levedygtig markedsøkonomi, na˚r der er gjort betydelig fremgang i de igangværende fremskridt.
It concludes that Bulgaria has afunctioning market economy which should be able to cope within the EU in the near termprovided that it continues to implement its reform programme to remove remaining difficulties.Romania can be considered a functioning market economy once its current progress hasadvanced significantly.
Hvad Tyrkiet anga˚r, erkendes det, at landet har udvist stor beslutsomhed for at fremskynde reformer, og at mange prioriterede omra˚der er blevet overholdt i forbindelse med de politiske kriterier.
The Commission recognises that Turkey has shown great determination in accelerating the pace of legislative reforms and that many priorities with regard to thepolitical criteria have been addressed.
Der hensta˚r imidlertid stadig flere uafklarede vigtige spørgsma˚l som styrkelse af retsvæsenets uafhængighed og effektivitet, etablering af globale rammer for udtryks- og forsamlingsfrihed, sikring af kulturelle rettigheder samt vanskelighederne anga˚ende religionsfrihed.
However, some important issues are outstanding, suchas strengthening the independence of the judiciary, providing a framework for the exercise offreedom of expression and of association, guaranteeing cultural rights and tackling problemswith regard to freedom of religion.
Tyrkiets meget vigtige rolle i en løsning af Cypern-problemet pa˚ grundlag af FN’s plan understreges ogsa˚.
It also stresses Turkey’s important role in solving the Cyprus problem on the basis of the UN plan.
I strategidokumentet understreger Kommissionen, at den vil fortsætte forhandlingerne med Bulgarien og Rumænien pa˚ grundlag af samme principper som tidligere, navnlig princippet om egne resultater, hvilket betyder, at hvert land vil blive vurderet pa˚ grundlag af de fremskridt, det har gjort med hensyn til vedtagelse, gennemførelse og anvendelse af regelværket. Finansieringsrammen for
In its strategy paper, the Commission states thatit will continue negotiations with Bulgaria and Romania according to the same principles asbefore, in particular, the ‘own merits’ principle, which means that each negotiating country isassessed according to the progress made in adopting, implementing and applying the acquis.There will be a three-year financial framework for Romania and Bulgaria based on the principles and methodology developed for the negotiations with the 10 acceding countries.
Da forhandlingerne med det i kandidatlande, som har undertegnet Athen-traktaten, blev afsluttet i 2002, (R nr. 44, 45 og 46), var forhandlingerne i 2003 koncentreret om de to lande, Bulgarien og Rumænien, som allerede har indledt forhandlingsprocessen, og hvis tiltrædelse vil blive en realitet senere.
As negotiations with the 10 countries which signed the Athens Treaty (→ point 44 to 46) had been concluded at the end of 2002, the process focused in2003 on the two countries (Bulgaria and Romania) which had already begun negotiationsand whose accession to the EU was to be decided later.
Det Europæiske Ra˚d understregede pa˚ sit møde i Thessaloniki den 19. og 20. juni (2), at Bulgarien og Rumænien er en del af samme inklusive og irreversible udvidelsesproces, som førte til Athen-traktaten, og bekræftede, at ma˚let er at byde disse to lande velkommen som nye medlemsstater i EU i 2007, og at forhandlingerne skal fortsætte pa˚ samme grundlag og ud fra samme principper som for det i tiltrædende stater, sa˚ledes at hvert land bliver bedømt pa˚ grundlag af sine egne resultater, med henblik pa˚ at afslutte forhandlingerne i 2004.
Emphasising that Bulgaria and Romania were part of the same inclusive and irreversibleenlargement process as that which had led to the Treaty of Athens, the Thessaloniki European Council of 19 and 20 June confirmed that the objective was to welcome the two countries as new Member States in 2007 and, to that end, to conclude negotiations in 2004according to the same basis and the same principles that applied to the 10 acceding States,with each candidate judged on its own merits (2).
Det Europæiske Ra˚d udtrykte ogsa˚ sin støtte til Tyrkiets bestræbelser for at opfylde de politiske Københavnskriterier for indledning af tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med EU (3).
The European Council also declared itssupport for Turkey’s efforts to fulfil the Copenhagen political criteria with a view to opening accession negotiations (3).

Tiltrædelsespartnerskaber og generelle aspekter
Accession partnerships and general matters
Den 19. maj vedtog Ra˚det tre afgørelser om ajourføring af de principper, prioriteter, mellemliggende ma˚l og betingelser, der er fastsat for tiltrædelsespartnerskaberne med henholdsvis Bulgarien, Rumænien og Tyrkiet (2).
On 19 May, the Council adopted three decisions updating the principles, priorities, intermediate objectives and conditions containedin the accession partnerships with Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey (2).
Denne ajourføringer baseret pa˚ oplysningerne i de periodiske rapporter for 2002, som Kommissionen har udarbejdet om hvert af de pa˚gældende lande (3), samt for Bulgarien og Rumænien pa˚ de detaljerede køreplaner (4) og for Tyrkiet pa˚ konklusionerne fra Det Europæiske Ra˚d i København (5).
This updating is based on information drawn from the 2002 ‘Regular reports’ drawn up by the Commissionfor each of the countries concerned (3), as well as from the detailed roadmaps for Bulgaria and Romania (4) and, for Turkey, the conclusions of the Copenhagen European Council (5).
De sa˚ledes vedtagne afgø- relser omhandler de foranstaltninger, som hvert af de tre lande skal træffe for at opfylde de politiske og økonomiske betingelser for at blive optaget i EU og for at efterkomme forpligtelserne i forbindelse med tiltrædelsen af EU-retten; de omhandler ogsa˚ de finansielle aspekter i forbindelse med førtiltrædelsen.
The decisions adopted concern measures to be taken by each of the three coun- tries to comply with the political and economic criteria for membership of the European Union, and to take on the obligations arising from accession to the Community acquis;they also relate to pre-accession financing.
I en beslutning af 5. juni (6), hvori det konstateredes, at de prioriterede omra˚der pa˚ kort og mellemlangt sigt, som var vedtaget inden for rammerne af det nuværende tiltrædelsespartnerskab med Tyrkiet, kun var blevet delvis gennemført, opfordrede Europa-Parlamentet den tyrkiske regering til snarest muligt at forelægge en klar køreplan og tidsplan for opfyldelsen af de politiske kriterier; den indeholder ogsa˚ nogle henstillinger, bl.a. vedrørende situationen med hensyn til menneskerettigheder og demokratisering i dette land, og vedrørende Tyrkiets eksterne forbindelser med nabolandene.
In a resolution of 5 June (6), noting that the short and medium-term priorities agreed withinthe partnership for Turkey’s accession had only been partially implemented in practice, the European Parliament called on the Turkish government to submit, as soon as possible, aclear roadmap and timetable for the implementation of the political criteria. It also maderecommendations concerning human rights and democratisation in Turkey and the country’s relations with its neighbours.
Den 9. og 10. maj (7) afholdtes der i Bukarest et møde pa˚ ministerplan mellem EU og handelsministrene for det i kommende medlemsstater og for de tre kandidatlande.
