Enlargement is a most important opportunity for the EU and the States concerned.
Turkey is a Candidate Country. It has set up a comprehensive programme for the adoption of EU acquis.
During the period 2004-2006 EU pre-accession financial assistance will focus on supporting Turkey’s efforts to meet the Copenhagen criteria, and in particular to strengthening institutional capacity and investment related to the adoption of the acquis.
In the course of 2003, Turkey starts to participate in several Community programmes including the Sixth Framework Programme on ResearchFP6.
