On 3 July 2001 the European Commission issued its first annual report on the aid programme to help farmers adjust to the challenges of EU membership (the so-called SAPARD programme). The European Commission concludes that, 'the applicant countries made great strides in 2000 towards constructing systems capable of managing the SAPARD instruments correctly'. An 'enormous amount of work' was done in 2000, notably of a legislative nature, involving a close collaboration between the Commission services and all ten applicant countries.
