This volume of policy papers strives to react on important trends of the year 2003 and the first half of 2004 - ratification of the new member states accession treaties to the EU, finalization of negotiations on the EU Constitution and intensive debates on economic reforms in many EU countries. Policy papers reflect these issues, show the key problems and indicate potential solutions. They are focused primarily on the impact of the Czech accession to the EU on the judicial system and the economic reform in the Czech Republic; the English version also contains an analysis on the tactics of the Czech Republic within the Convention on the Future of Europe.

Policy papers in this volume address the problems linked to the approaching date of the Czech accession to the European Union (paper on representation of Czech interests in the EU), broader questions on the development of European integration (Common Foreign and Security Policy) and, in particular, the impact of the acquis communautaire on specific policies in the Czech Republic (judiciary, labour market and unemployment policy, and regional policy). In this volume, the final versions of the policy papers have been formulated by the authors of the particular background paper themselves - reflecting the opponent reports and debates during the European Policy Forum meetings.

The policy papers contained in this publication represent the outputs of series of European Policy Forum (project of the Institute) working groups covering the period from March to June 2002. The aim of the Forum is to create a platform for the debate analysing in an impartial and expert manner the consequences of the Czech accession to the EU for the political, social and economic life in this country. A substantial debate on the impacts of the accession is still largely missing - according to the authors, most of the activities have purely informational, at places even propagandistic character. This collection thus aims at bridging the existing gap.
