EU-Report Accession Bulgaria
As announced in the Commission's
2001 Enlargement Strategy, in spring 2002 the Commission and Bulgaria jointly developed an Action
Plan to strengthen Bulgaria's administrative and judicial capacity, on which a common
understanding was reached in April. The revised Accession Partnership adopted in January has
served as the point of departure for this exercise.
The purpose of this Action Plan is to identify jointly the next steps required for Bulgaria to
achieve an adequate level of administrative and judicial capacity by the time of accession, and
ensure that all necessary measures in this regard are taken, providing Bulgaria with targeted
assistance in areas that are essential for the functioning of an enlarged Union. As such, the
Action Plan is a key tool for meeting the common objective of the EU and Bulgaria, i.e. to ensure
that Bulgaria's preparations for accession take place as effectively as possible within the
planned timeframe.
The implementation of the Action Plan is reviewed in Part D of this Report.
