Under this approach, some applicant countries would start accession negotiations more or less at the same time, and those with the fewest adjustment difficulties to overcome would reach the finishing line first. They would then be admitted without awaiting equal progress by the others. See also Agenda 2000 and Treaty of Nice.[1]
