Commission Report (2002): Latvia
As announced in the Commission's 2001
Enlargement Strategy, in spring 2002 the Commission and Latvia jointly
developed an Action Plan to strengthen Latvia'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 Latvia 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 Latvia 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 Latvia, i.e. to ensure that Latvia'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.
