New Action Plan to Reinforce Administrative Capacity in the Candidate Countries

The Commission encourages the candidate countries to further develop their administrative capacity.EU enlargement negotiations are progressing satisfactorily and so far candidate countries are generally meeting their commitments in the negotiations, in accordance with the agreed timetables.

Meanwhile, the candidate countries need to further develop their administrative and judicial capacity to be able to properly implement and enforce the rules and standards of the European Union upon accession.

To achieve this goal, the Commission has drawn up individual Action Plans jointly with each negotiating country concerned, which are now being implemented.

At the initiative of Enlargement Commissioner Günter Verheugen, the European Commission today adopted a report which provides a detailed overview on the issues covered by the Action plans and expresses confidence that the candidates will be able to make convincing progress in the months to come.

It is important that candidate countries make full use of the opportunities offered by the Action Plans, and speed up their efforts along those lines.
