Association Agreements. Integration without Membership 8
Association Agreements. Integration without Membership The AAs between the EU and its Eastern partners are described as “the most ambitious agreement the European Union has ever offered to a non-Member State” (Van Rompuy 2013). They cover all aspects of cooperation between the EU and the Eastern partners and aim to establish a form of political association and economic integration. In economic terms, the AAs have two overarching objectives: firstly, to prepare the gradual integration of the partners into the EU internal market through the setting up of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), and secondly, to support the partners’ efforts to complete the transition to a functioning market economy (Art.1, 2(d), EU-Ukraine AA).

The EU’s key instrument in achieving both objectives is the export of its acquis, whereby the partner countries undertake to approximate their legislation to that of the EU. According to the European Commission officials Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, the neighbouring countries face a choice of either adopting the EU acquis or developing a regulatory framework from scratch.

Yet, while exporting the acquis in the context of trade agreements with third countries has a long pedigree (Xxxxxxxx 2008; Cremona 2010), these have tended to be partners with strong domestic institutions and developed market economies, for example the members of the European Economic Area, such as Norway or Switzerland (see Vahl and Grolimund 2006). While eschewing membership of the EU, both Norway and Switzerland have the state capacity to assume membership obligations. So far, these ambitious, integration- oriented agreements involving the export of the acquis to non-member states have been concluded with two categories of states: first, highly developed states in Europe, which for various reasons opted to stay outside of the EU, and, second, with prospective member states to prepare ...
