Analysis of the 2007 annual action programme for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia under the preaccession instrument in preparation of the review of the relevant multi-annual indicative programme
Executive summary The 2007 Annual Action Programme for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia allocates a maximum amount of Community assistance of EUR 34.94 million. The priority axes Good governance and rule of law receive in total EUR 14.1 million, the largest amount of which is spent on the police reform process (EUR 9 million). EUR 7 million are allocated to Economic development and social cohesion, while the third priority axis, Ability to assume the obligations of membership, receives EUR 9 million. In addition, the Commission allocates EUR 4.84 million for programming support and preparing the country to participate in Community Programmes. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has, as a candidate country, access to the five IPA components.

This transition period should be as short as possible so that the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia may implement projects under all five IPA components. Assistance to cross-border cooperation (CBC) under component II is provided through separate CBC programmes. Relating to Good governance and the rule of law, priorities are set on the implementation of sectoral reforms, notably on the police reform process and, less significantly, on the public administration and the judicial reforms. The 2007 Annual Action Programme supports the civil society sector and promotes equitable representation mainly through capacity building activities for central state institutions.
