Article Abstract:
The European Union is entering critical talks about enlargement with the 12 candidate countries. A strategy change means that all candidates will receive equal treatment, abolishing the distinction between fast- and slow-track nations. The first entries are expected between 2000 and 2003. Meanwhile, other external relation policies include a maintenance of the current trade-and-aid agreements with the 71 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries and the signing of a free-trade agreement with South Africa.
