Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas: majority on a proposal from the Commission, may take appropriate steps with regard to any pre-accession assis- tance. (4) (5) The 1999 Commission's regular report presented an objective analysis on the Republic of Cyprus' prepara- tions for membership and identified a number of priority areas for further work. In order to prepare for membership, the Republic of Cyprus should prepare a national programme for the adoption of the acquis. This programme should set out a timetable for achieving the priorities and intermediate objectives established in the Accession Partnership, (1) (2) (3) The Luxembourg European Council stated that the Accession Partnership is a new instrument and the key feature of the enhanced pre-accession strategy. HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Regulation (EC) No 555/2000 complements Regulation (EC) No 622/98 (2) which provides that the Council is to decide, by a qualified majority and following a proposal from the Commission, on the principles, priorities, inter- mediate objectives and conditions contained in the indi- vidual Accession Partnerships, as they will be submitted to each applicant country, as well as on subsequent significant adjustments applicable to them. Community assistance is conditional on the fulfilment of essential elements, and in particular on progress towards fulfilment of the Copenhagen criteria. Where an essential element is lacking, the Council, acting by a qualified Article 1 In accordance with Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 555/ 2000 the principles, priorities, intermediate objectives and conditions contained in the Accession Partnership for the Republic of Cyprus are set out in the Annex hereto, which forms an integral part of this Decision.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Accession Partnership is to set out in a single framework the priority areas for further work identified in the Commission's 1999 regular report on the progress made by Cyprus towards membership of the European Union, the financial means available to help Cyprus implement these priorities and the conditions which will apply to that assistance. This Accession Partnership provides the basis for a number of policy instruments which will be used to help the candidate countries in their preparations for membership. These include, inter alia, the national programme for the adoption of the acquis, the joint assessment of medium-term economic policy priorities, the pact against organised crime as well as the national development plans and other sectoral plans necessary for the participation in Structural Funds after membership. Each of these instruments is different in nature and is prepared and implemented according to specific procedures. They are not an integral part of this Partnership but the priorities they contain will be compatible with it. 2. PRINCIPLES The main priority areas identified for each candidate country relate to their ability to assume the obligations of meeting the Copenhagen criteria which state that membership requires: — that the candidate country has achieved stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities, — the existence of a functioning market economy, as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union, — the ability to take on the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union. At its meeting in Madrid, the European Council stressed the need for the candidate countries to adjust their administrative structures to ensure the harmonious operation of Community policies after accession and at Luxembourg, it stressed that incorporation of the acquis into legislation is necessary, but not in itself sufficient; it is necessary to ensure that it is actually applied. 3. PRIORITIES AND INTERMEDIATE OBJECTIVES The Commission's regular reports have highlighted the extent of the efforts which still have to be made in certain areas by the candidate countries to prepare for accession. This situation requires the definition of intermediate stages in terms of priorities, each to be accompanied by precise objectives to be set in collaboration with the countries concerned, the achievement of which will condition the degree of assistance granted and the progress of the negotiations under way with some countries and the opening of new negotiations with the others. The priorities and intermediate objectives are divided into two groups — short- and medium-term. Those listed under the short term have been selected on the basis that it is realistic to expect that Cyprus can complete or take them substantially forward by the end of 2000. The priorities listed under the medium term are expected to take more than one year to complete although work should, wherever possible, also begin on them during 2000. Cyprus has been invited to prepare a national programme for the adoption of the acquis (NPAA). It will set out a timetable for achieving priorities and intermediate objectives, based on the Accession Partnership, as well as necessary administrative structures and financial resources. The Accession Partnership indicates the priority areas for Cyprus' membership preparations. Cyprus will nevertheless have to address all issues identified in the regular report. It is also important that Cyprus fulfils the commitments of legislative approximation and implementation of the acquis in accordance with the commitments made under the Association Agreement, the screening exercise and the negotiation process. It should be recalled that incorporation of the acquis into legislation is not in itself sufficient; it will also be necessary to ensure that it is actually applied to the same standards as those which apply within the Union. In all of the areas listed below there is a need for credible and effective implementation and enforcement of the acquis. Drawing on the analysis of the Commission's regular report, the following short- and medium-term priorities and intermediate objectives have been identified for Cyprus. 29. 3. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 78/13 3. 1.

L 78/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 29. 3. 2000 4. PROGRAMMING The fourth Financial Protocol (30 October 1995 to 31 December 1998) was extended by one year (until the end of 1999). The Protocol is the sole EU financial instrument (apart from EIB loans) to support activities resulting from Cyprus' pre-accession strategy. In 1998, EUR 4,65 million were committed and for 1999, EUR 5 million are available. Under these national allocations, Cyprus can also fund part of its participation in Community programmes including in the fifth research and technological development framework programme. Financial assistance from the year 2000 will be determined once the draft regulation on pre-accession finance has been adopted by the Council. Activities financed as from the year 2000, will focus assistance on the adoption of the Community acquis on the basis of the priorities set out in this Accession Partnership as well as on promoting joint activities between the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities on the island. Cyprus is eligible for EIB loan finance under the Euro-Med mandate and the pre-accession facility. Moreover, there are also EUR 50 million of EIB loans available under the fourth Financial Protocol between Cyprus and the EU. 5. CONDITIONALITY Community assistance for financing projects is conditional on respect by Cyprus of its commitments under the Association Agreement, further steps towards satisfying the Copenhagen criteria and in particular progress in meeting the specific priorities of this Accession Partnership in 2000. Failure to respect these general conditions could lead to a decision by the Council on the suspension of financial assistance on the basis of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 622/98. 6. MONITORING The implementation of the Accession Partnership is monitored in the framework of the Association Agreement and in particular in the Association Committee. The Accession Partnership will be amended as necessary in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 622/98

O Tajiquistão está a realizar reformas fundamentais de carácter político e económico, bem como a envidar esforços significativos no sentido de implementar um modelo de economia de mercado. Perante os resultados iniciais, especialmente em termos de crescimento e controlo da inflação, essas reformas deveriam ser prosseguidas tendo como principal objec- tivo a melhoria das condições de vida da população e a criação de emprego. É de prever que se estabeleçam ligações comerciais e económicas entre a Comunidade e o Tajiquistão. O Taji- quistão é elegível para um acordo de parceria e coope- ração com as Comunidades Europeias e os respectivos tendo já solicitado formalmente a Estados-Membros, celebração desse acordo logo que possível.

O Tajiquistão assegura um serviço mínimo das suas dívidas vigentes para com a Comunidade. As autoridades do Tajiquistão solicitaram oficialmente à Comunidade um apoio financeiro excepcional. O Tajiquistão é um país com baixos rendimentos e enfrenta uma situação económica, social e política parti- cularmente difícil. Este país é elegível para os emprés- timos com condições altamente favoráveis do Banco Mundial e do FMI. (10) Uma assistência financeira da Comunidade em condições favoráveis, incluindo um empréstimo a longo prazo e subvenções a fundo perdido, constitui uma medida adequada no sentido de auxiliar o país beneficiário neste momento crítico. (11) Esta assistência, tanto na sua componente empréstimo como na sua componente subvenção, tem um carácter marcadamente excepcional, não constituindo por conse- guinte, de forma alguma, um precedente para o futuro. (12) A inclusão de uma componente subvenção nesta assis- tência em nada prejudica as competências da autoridade orçamental. (13) Esta assistência deverá ser gerida pela Comissão.

L 77/12 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias 28. 3. 2000 (15) Na aplicação da presente decisão, a Comissão tomará em devida consideração os progressos registados a nível do processo de paz do Tajiquistão e, nomeadamente, a realização de eleições em condições aceitáveis. (16) A Comissão consultou o Comité Económico e Finan- ceiro antes de apresentar a sua proposta. (17) O Tratado não prevê, no que respeita à adopção da presente decisão, outros poderes para além dos confe- ridos pelo artigo 308. o, ADOPTOU A PRESENTE DECISÃO: Artigo único A Decisão 97/787/CE é alterada do seguinte modo: A componente de subvenção desta assistência terá um 3. montante de até 130 milhões de euros para o período 1997-2004, com um máximo de 24 milhões por ano. As subvenções apenas serão disponibilizadas na medida em que o saldo devedor líquido dos países beneficiários em relação à Comunidade tenha sido reduzido, pelo menos, de um montante semelhante. ». 2. O n. o 1 do artigo 3. o passa a ter a seguinte redacção: «1. O montante total do empréstimo concedido a cada país será disponibilizado pela Comissão em paralelo com as primeiras parcelas das subvenções sob reserva do cumpri- mento das condições previstas no n. o 4 do artigo 1. o e no artigo 2. o A parte restante da componente de subvenção da assistência será disponibilizada pela Comissão em fracções successivas, sob reserva do cumprimento das mesmas condições. ». 1. Os n. os 1 a 3 do artigo 1. o passam a ter a seguinte redacção: 3. O n. o 2 do artigo 5. o passa a ter a seguinte redacção: A Comunidade concederá à Arménia, à Geórgia e ao «1. Tajiquistão uma assistência financeira excepcional, sob a forma de empréstimos a longo prazo e de subvenções a fundo perdido. 2. O total da componente de empréstimo desta assis- tência será equivalente a um capital máximo de 245 milhões de euros, com um prazo de vencimento máximo de 15 anos e um período de graça de 10 anos. Para este efeito, a Comissão fica habilitada a contrair empréstimos, em nome da Comunidade, para a obtenção dos recursos necessários que serão postos à disposição dos países beneficiários sob forma de empréstimos. Até 31 de Dezembro de 2004, o Conselho procederá «2. à análise da aplicação da presente decisão, com base num relatório completo da Comissão, que será igualmente apre- sentado ao Parlamento Europeu. ».
