Sept domaines thématiques ont été retenus, et à l'intérieur de chacun d'eux un certain nombre de sujets, liés à des enjeux économiques et de société spécialement importants pour l'Union, et où l'action de celle-ci apporte une valeur ajoutée particulière, pour des raisons qui peuvent varier selon les thèmes.
The list has been developed and refined and the approach defined has been followed as regards the choice of both the priority thematic areas and the specific subjects within each of them. Seven thematic areas have been selected as have, within each of them, a number of subjects linked to economic and societal issues that are especially important to the EU and where its action adds specific value for reasons which may vary according to the themes in question.
