Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhoftadt (R) talks with his Spanish
counterpart Jose Maria Aznar during a working sesion at the European
Summit in Barcelona March 15, 2002. For the first time, 13 mainly
ex-communist states queuing up to enter the EU will also take full part
in talks at a European Union summit, underlining the scale of the task
the bloc faces in forging agreement among governments on issues as
electorally sensitive as labour law and state regulation of key
