A package deal Sample Clauses

A package deal. As a result, when the EU envisages the conclusion of an XXXX, the Commission now offers a “package deal” to the third county, including the XXXX and a “carrot” to make the XXXX more easy to “digest”.92 The EU currently uses three types of positive incentives: financial assistance in the implementation of the readmission agreements,93 the linkage with VFAs94 and more recently the conclusion of other agreements with the third country. If the third country is willing to conclude a readmission agreement, the Union might think of concluding another agreement, that offer economic or other benefits to that country. One can think of Association Agreements, FTAs and SAAs.95 This last incentive can also be used in the negative sense: if a third country refuses to conclude an XXXX with the EU, a possible punitive measure from the EU side can be to suspend the negotiations on the other agreements. But one should not limit the incentives to these three and also think of other incentives. One example of additional incentive can be concessions in the field of labour immigration, as used in a successful way by Italy.96 But which concrete incentives will exactly be offered to each specific third state depends on how far the Council and the Member States are willing to go, as they determine the mandate given to the Commission.
