EU adopts Accession Partnership with Croatia
COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION EN
Brussels, 20 February 2006 6552/06
Croatia - Accession Partnership
On the basis of the political agreement reached by the Council on 12 December 2005, the Council adopted a Decision on the principles, priorities and conditions contained in the accession partnership with Croatia (15672/05).
The Accession Partnership is an important document to focus Croatia's preparations for accession following the start of accession negotiations on 3 October 2005.
The Accession Partnership updates the previous European Partnership with Croatia on the basis of the findings of the 2005 Commission’s Progress Report on Croatia and identifies new priorities for action. The new priorities are adapted to the country’s specific needs and stage of preparation and will be updated as necessary. The Accession Partnership also provides guidance for financial assistance to Croatia.
