The Joint Assessment is a common document of the Hungarian Government and the European Commission, and it reflects the agreed view of the Hungarian Government and the European Commission on medium-term macroeconomic policies and the prior
ities of structural reform in Hungary. It is a follow up to the Joint Assessment signed by the Hungarian Ministry of Finance and the Directorate-General of Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission in June 1997, which outlined a policy framework that would allow rapid economic development while maintaining macroeconomic stability.
It meets one of the ...[+++]short-term priorities of the Accession Partnership and complements other documents, in particular Hungary's National Programme for the Adoption of the Acquis, which focuses more on legal and institutional approximation. In June 1999 the government of Hungary adopted "The Strategy of Catching up with Europe", envisaging the convergence of Hungary with the European Union in terms of economic performance and the welfare of its citizens.
L'évaluation conjointe répond à l'une des priorités à court terme énoncées dans le Partenariat pour l'adhésion et vient compléter d'autres documents, notamment le Programme national de la Hongrie pour l'adoption de l'acquis, qui est davantage centré sur l'harmonisation juridique et institutionnelle. En juin 1999, le gouvernement hongrois a également adopté une "stratégie de rattrapage vis-à-vis de l'Europe", qui traite de la convergence de la Hongrie avec l'Union européenne sur le plan des performances économiques et du bien-être de la population .
