Library Guide on the Treaty of Nice

The Treaty of Nice was signed on 26 February 2001 and entered into force on 1 February 2003. It aimed to prepare the EU for its biggest enlargement - with 10 new member states in 2004 and with two more in 2007. 

The treaty reformed the EU institutions to make them more efficient in an enlarged EU of 27 member states. The rules for qualified majority voting in the Council of the European Union were modified.  There were changes in the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Court of Justice. The Treaty also introduced new rules on enhanced cooperation.
