Any European state which respects EU democratic values and is committed to promoting

all the Copenhagen criteria:
• political criteria: stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of
law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities
• economic criteria: a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope
with competition and market forces
• administrative and institutional capacity to effectively implement the EU
acquis (body of common rights) and ability to take on the obligations of EU
membership
the commissions gives an opinion to the council who decides if the want to negotiate
Accession negotiations commence, as the candidate country adapts its national laws to align
with the EU’s rules, called the acquis. Negotiations formally conclude once each of the 33
acquis chapters (which focus on topics like taxation, the environment and defense policy) are
unanimously closed.
An accession treaty (parlement by majority ) is signed by the candidate country and the
European Union (with the consent of the Council, Commission and Parliament) and later
ratified by the candidate and each EU country, when it becomes binding. The country is
henceforth deemed an “acceding country” until the official accession date, when it becomes
a full EU member.
🡺 Each Eu country ratifies by their constitutional law.

● How can competence be conferred
1. Express competence:
– expressly provided for in the Treaties
– e.g. internal market
2. Implied competence:
– the existence of one competence implies the existence of another
competence
