"In its conclusions of 17 June 2010, the European Council stated that Iceland fulfils the political criteria set out by the Council in Copenhagen in 1993, and welcomed the Commission’s opinion on Iceland’s application for EU membership. For these reasons, the European Council decided to begin negotiations with Iceland. Iceland is therefore a candidate country. Later, in December 2010, the European Council approved the Council’s conclusions of 14 December 2010 on expansion, and also accorded candidate country status to Montenegro. The Commission therefore proposed to the Council and the European Parliament an amendment to Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) in view of the transfer of Iceland and Montenegro from the list of potential candidate countries to the list of candidate countries. Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 draws a clear distinction between candidate countries and potential candidate countries. In relation to the clarification of the rules applying to grant contracts financed under the cross-border cooperation element of the IPA, and ensuring cohesion with the other instruments for external cooperation, in particular, the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument, it is right to propose an amendment to Article 19 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006."@en1
