In the meantime, through the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam in May 1999, the
political criteria defined at Copenhagen have been essentially enshrined as a constitutional
principle in the Treaty on European Union. Article 6(1) of the consolidated Treaty on
European Union reads: ``The Union is founded on the principles of liberty, democracy, respect
for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law''. Accordingly, Article
49 of the consolidated Treaty stipulates that ``Any European State which respects the
principles set out in Article 6(1) may apply to become a member of the Union''. More
recently, these principles were emphasised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the
European Union, that was proclaimed at the Nice European Council in December 2000.

The general government balance in 2001, based on harmonised EU standards (ESA95), was +1.7%
of GDP, but this figure is subject to change due to a statistical reclassification of the
Bank Consolidation Company (BCC) as part of the central government. However, even after this
reclassification, the balance for 2001 is still likely to be less than 1% of GDP.
