Paraphrasing (7th paragraph)

Text

At the Goteborg summit, EU leaders did not set target accession dates for individual countries or groups of countries as accession will depend on each candidate's progress in meeting the membership requirements. Thus, it is unclear which countries will join first. Six countries — Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, and Cyprus — began accession negotiations in March 1998. The remaining six launched negotiations in February 2000.

The main idea of the paragraph

Although a date has been set for the completion of the enlargement negotiations, no dates have been set for the accession of individual candidates. It depends on their progress in satisfying the accession criteria.

虽然确定了扩盟谈判的结束日期,但是并没有确定申请国的具体入盟日期。申请国的入盟取决于他们在满足入盟标准方面的进展。
