Priority areas to be addressed are the Environment chapter (accession negotiations opened in December 2009) Agriculture and Food Safety (accession negotiations on chapter 12 opened in June 2010), Justice, Freedom and Security (Migration/Asylum), Transport and Energy, Free Movement of Goods and Public Health.
