| Description | This series contains records concerning the European Union Treaty of Accession 2003 (Athens, 16 April 2003) which were originally intended to be accessioned into the series FCO 85 but re-allocated into this new series in April 2008 as part of the programme of migration of digital records at The National Archives. The files are dated 8 September 2000 to 29 July 2003; the types of file formats are bmp, doc, rtf, and tif. These records were made available in December 2017 when for presentation purposes they were re-arranged from the original 7 electronic documents as follows: CD 1 Signature Pages. CD 2 Certified Copy. CD 3 English Version of the text. CD 4 Volume 1. CD 5 Volume 2. CD 6 Volume 3. CD 7 Volume 4. The original structure of the documents is reflected in the 'Arrangement' field for individual catalogue entries. Descriptions have been provided in a narrative format where possible for the majority of the records; otherwise there are original Titles only. |
| Arrangement | Treaties and ratifications are arranged by date of entering into force or date of receipt of ratification. References for born digital records are automatically generated and display a 'Z' after a forward slash, which distinguish them from traditional references allocated to paper and digitised records |
