Definition of Association Agreement
In accordance with the work A Dictionary of Law, this is a description of Association Agreement : An agreement between a member state of the European Union and a non-EU country or organization, as provided for in Article 310 of the Treaty of Rome. The agreement, which may be with a country, a union of states, or an international organization, establishes an association involving reciprocal rights and obligations, common action, and special procedures.
Description of Association Agreement
The Concise Publication of the European Union describes association agreement in the following terms: [1] An agreement between the Community and a non-EU state or group of states. Such an agreement may be designed to pave the way to possible membership of the EU, in which case it is called a Europe Agreement, for example with Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. Or it may be an aid and technical co-operation agreement, as with certain North African and Middle Eastern countries; or a more comprehensive agreement with trade, aid, cultural and social dimensions, as with the African, Caribbean and Pacific signatories to the Lomé Convention. The EEA Treaty also counts as an Association Agreement.
Europe Agreements provide for gradual integration into the Community, mutual free trade within ten years and progress towards compatibility with Community law, within the framework of free elections, open markets and the rule of law. The process is carried forward by financial assistance and regular political meetings at head of state, ministerial, diplomatic and parliamentary levels.
