A prime ministry circular, bearing the signature of Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, said five new units, namely National Financial Support Coordinator, Financial Cooperation Committee, National Fund and National Authorization Official, Joint Follow-Up Committee, and Central Finance Tender Unit, were established.

The circular recalled that a new process had been started with the EU after Turkey's candidacy to the EU was approved in Helsinki Summit of the EU in December 10-11, 1999.

The circular said in pre-accession period, improvement of our relations with the EU is foreseen within the framework of Accession Partnership Accord and National Program. It said financial aid that will be provided from the EU would play an important role in implementation of the National Program which was adopted in March 19, 2001 by Council of Ministers.

Pointing out that the financial aid in question should support Turkey's full membership target, the circular said the donations that will be obtained within this framework and the credits that will be used from the European Investment Bank would be within the scope of the projects that are in line with the priorities included in Accession Partnership Accord and the National Program.

The circular said by considering this necessity, Turkey should set up a unit to carry out financial cooperation with the EU.

''State Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, responsible for relations with the EU, will carry out the National Support Coordinatorship, which will provide financial coordination with the EU,'' it said.

The unit will provide necessary coordination to connect financial aid of the EU with the accession process and usage of the funds only for this target, and will also coordinate evaluation of the programs.

The circular said Financial Cooperation Committee was set up aiming to provide necessary harmonization regarded with the works carried out for financial cooperation.

The committee will be comprised of representatives from Foreign Ministry, Finance Ministry, State Planning Institute Undersecretariat, Treasury Undersecretariat, and General Secretariat for the European Union.

The committee will determine priorities in usage of financial resources, prepare annual programs within the scope of the priorities that would be determined, inspect distribution of financial resources in line with priorities, cover implementation of financial cooperation, and evaluate them.

The circular said the financial aid that will be provided from the EU would be kept in a National Fund that will be opened by Treasury. It said the State Minister responsible for economy was defined as National Authorization Official.

The Joint Follow-Up Committee will convene at least once in a year and review the programs, and evaluate the realization of the targets included in the finance protocols.

Prime Ministry Project Implementation Unit will be responsible to carry out the procedures of the tenders in accordance with the method determined by the EU Commission for the projects within the scope of the financial cooperation.
