... minorities''[*]
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.

... 000[*]
In some cases estimates are considerably higher than official figures, due at least partly to the reluctance of some Roma to identify themselves as such. In 1997, the official figure for the Roma population was 400 000.

... average[*]
All general government deficit and debt data used were notified by the Romanian authorities to the European Commission in April 2002. Data are, however, only partially compliant with EU standards (ESA-95). At 4.3% of GDP, the average GFS-based general government deficit used as reference in the context of IMF programmes is somewhat higher than the equivalent ESA-95 figure.
