The European Council meeting informally in Biarritz on 13-14 October approved the text of the draft European charter of fundamental rights. The European Council at its meeting in Cologne on 3-4 June 1999 agreed that a draft document should be presented in advance of the European Council in Nice in December 2000. It was later agreed that this document should be presented to the informal European Council in Biarritz.
