		As you know, on 13 October the European Commission proposed to open negotiations with all candidate countries which met the Copenhagen political criteria and had proved ready to take the necessary measures to comply with the economic criteria.
		The abolition of the death penalty and the establishment of a Framework Programme on the Roma are important steps.
		But to meet the Copenhagen criteria fully, reform efforts need to be sustained: privatization must be completed, financial discipline in the enterprise sector (e.g.

		While having full regard to all Copenhagen criteria, including the absorption capacity of the Union, if Turkey is not in a position to assume in full all the obligations of membership it must be ensured that Turkey is fully anchored in the European structures through the strongest possible bond.
		In accordance with the conclusions of the Copenhagen European Council in 1993, the Union's capacity to absorb Turkey, while maintaining the momentum of European integration is an important consideration in the general interest of both the Union and Turkey.
		Negotiations are opened on the basis that Turkey sufficiently meets the political criteria set by the Copenhagen European Council in 1993, for the most part later enshrined in Article 6(1) of the Treaty on European Union and proclaimed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

		The Report indicated that despite the "great leap forward" by Turkey to meet the Copenhagen criteria, she was far away from the target and thus did not deserve the date to start accession talks.
		From November 8 until the Copenhagen summit, it was possible to see an article on Turkey in one or several of the major European papers on a daily basis.

		The Copenhagen criteria do not only mean respect for human rights, recognition of minority rights or the functioning of representative democratic institutions.
		The Copenhagen criteria have another face and this is called market economy, neoliberalism and the imposing of the interests of western imperialist forces onto other countries in the name of "legislations".
		These rules and criteria, which are explained in detail in EU's Maastricht and Amsterdam Treaties, have also taken their places in the first article of the draft Constitution prepared by the Convention.

	Strategy Paper and Report of the European Commission: The Copenhagen Criteria
		In June 1993, the European Council at Copenhagen laid down the foundations of the current enlargement process by declaring that ``the associated countries in Central and Eastern Europe that so desire shall become members of the European Union'' and by defining the membership conditions, the so-called Copenhagen criteria.
		These criteria are consistent with the principles for economic policies as enshrined in the EC Treaty by the Maastricht Treaty that entered into force on 1 November 1993.
		In order to evaluate the extent to which candidates meet the political criteria, the Commission not only provides a description of their various institutions (Parliament, Executive, and Judiciary), but examines how the various rights and freedoms are exercised in practice.

		For priorities other than the political criteria, it is important to plan the short-term activities so that they are completed within the period of 2003-2004 and the medium term activities by the end of 2005.

		Countries that fulfill the Copenhagen criteria should not have to wait for countries that need more time.
		That would not be fair to candidate countries that have carried out difficult reforms to fulfill the Copenhagen criteria.

		It is possible to predict that the Copenhagen criteria will continue playing an important role in the regulation of the future rounds of enlargement, including, of course, the one to accommodate Romania, Bulgaria and, probably, Croatia, which has recently been awarded a candidate country status.
		The assessment of compliance of the candidate countries with the Copenhagen criteria is well documented, which allows the researchers to trace the implementation of this ‘strict scrutiny’ principle by the Commission in practice.
		The Criteria addressed to the reforming candidate countries should definitely be understood in the light of the national concepts existing in the candidate countries and corresponding to the Rule of Law.

		It stressed that the contribution of NGOs working on the Copenhagen criteria should be taken into account in the preparation of the National Program for the Adoption of the Acquis.

	WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM AMBASSADOR JOHN BRUTON
		In 1993 in Copenhagen, all then-Member States agreed unanimously on the criteria that new states would have to meet to join.
		The Copenhagen criteria went on to acknowledge that when a country joins the EU, that affects both the country itself and the existing members.
		The important point I would like to stress from these criteria are the commitments to “political union” and to the continued “momentum of European integration.” Of course these commitments apply to existing members as well as to new ones.
