History
1989, as Poland and Hungary Action for Restructuring of the Economy -- Plan d'action pour une aide coordonnée à la Pologne et à la Hongrie (PHARE), within the framework of E-XE2442 - European Commission (EC), which also coordinates the H-XF1513 - Assistance for Economic Restructuring in the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe of H-XF1492 - Group of Twenty Four (G-24). Widened, 17 Sep 1990, on amendment of Financial Regulation of H-XD0665 - European Community, to extend economic aid to other countries of Central and Eastern Europe (German Democratic Republic, originally included in some early programmes, ceased to exist since the reunification of Germany and assistance transferred to DG-XV of the European Commission). Yugoslavia was removed and the Baltic States and Albania added in Dec 1991, and Slovenia added in Aug 1992. Following the offer to Central and Eastern European countries by the European Council, Jun 1993, of membership in the European Union when certain economic and political conditions are met, the Programme has become fundamental in the process of integration and creation of a larger family of nations within an enlarged European Union. Also referred to as EC Phare Programme. U-XF6498 - Community Assistance for Reconstruction, Development and Stabilization (CARDS) combines the existing programme non-accession candidates and the previous U-XJ7411 - OBNOVA Programme. Phased out after accession of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007.
