On 1 May 2004, the EU will undergo what is acknowledged
to be the most challenging enlargement process in its
whole history. The final obstacles to EU enlargement were
overcome, thanks to the political agreement reached at
Copenhagen in December 2002 and to the signing of the
accession treaties in Athens in March 2003. Since then,
candidate countries have pursued their efforts to integrate
the Community Acquis into their legislation. The European
food and drink industry and the CIAA has contributed,
particularly through the BSP, to the promotion of the
Acquis and to the effective implementation of EU food
standards in local companies. |
