As he was preparing to depart, Rasmussen said: "At the concluding summit of the Danish EU Presidency in Copenhagen on 12 - 13 December, we shall complete the enlargement negotiations with up to ten countries. During the week ahead, the Danish Presidency will present a final negotiation package to each of the ten countries. In connection with my roundtrip, I will present an account of the content of the packages and discuss the course of events leading up to the Summit. It is my firm conviction that the packages constitute the best possible combination of concessions to the candidate countries and due respect for the decisions taken by the EU Heads of State or Government at previous meetings in Berlin in 1999 and in Brussels in October this year.

The negotiations on the enlargement of the EU will have to be concluded on the basis of the Presidency negotiation packages." He already insisted last week at a meeting with Polish prime minister Leszek Miller that "the time schedule for the completion of the negotiations must be kept, which means that negotiations with individual countries should be completed prior to the Copenhagen summit... and on the basis of the negotiation packages of the EU Presidency." The Copenhagen summit will also have to make decisions on the next stages for the other EU candidates: new roadmaps for Bulgaria and Romania, and how to progress Turkey's accession bid.
