Summary:Accession is about prosperity and, in this context, all candidate countries should be confident in their opportunities in the process of becoming full members of the European Union. It is crucial that decision makers of such countries dispose of profound and analytically respectable ‘impact studies’ on horizontal and sectoral subjects.
