The Association Agreements Sample Clauses

The Association Agreements scale of commitment In designing the AAs, the EU developed a large number of innovative features. Those innovative features and the fundamental legal issues, such as the constitutional ramifications underpinning their domestic effectiveness, are explored elsewhere (Dragneva 2017; Van der Loo 2016). This paper is particularly interested in the extent to which the AAs aggravate or alleviate the challenge of exporting the single market and sectoral acquis to partner countries, which are also required to modernize. We start by examining the nature and scope of the partners’ commitment, particularly with regard to legislative approximation. In signing the AAs, the partners have made an unprecedented, far-reaching commitment to a wholesale adoption of the EU’s acquis. Legal approximation is the bedrock of the DCFTA which specifically defines the key chapters on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary Measures (SPS), Customs and Trade Facilitation, Establishment and Services, Pubic Procurement, and Competition. It also underpins the commitments under Title V ‘Economic and Sector Cooperation’ of the EU-Ukraine AA, including a wide-range of areas, such as transport, science, and the environment.1 In fulfilling their obligation, the partners need to adopt specifically predetermined EU legislation. For most chapters, this legislation is included in Annexes to the Agreement, and is subject to strict deadlines for implementation. In other areas, specific legislation is not listed, but left to the partners to determine subsequently. For example, in relation to SPS and TBT, the AAs provide only a number of priority areas of the EU acquis on the basis of which the countries have to develop their own strategy for implementation. Such selectivity offers greater scope for adjustment in areas of difficult and costly implementation, such as food safety. Similarly, in some sectors there are no specific deadlines, with extensive latitude regarding the time of implementation. In public procurement, for example, implementation is prioritized by distinguishing five progressive phases of legislative approximation and implementation (Annex XXI, EU-Ukraine AA). For sure, such variations allow for some selectivity in scope and time for implementation. Yet, they do not change the fundamental principle that the acquis is to be imported. Arguably, in terms of scope and specificity, the AAs exceed what is required under the SAAs with the Western Balkans, where the im...
