Behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement establishing an association between the European Union and the Principality of Andorra and the Republic of San Marino respectively

This recommendation concerns draft decisions to approve new association agreements between the European Union and the Principality of Andorra and the Republic of San Marino. These agreements aim to deepen cooperation and integration. The agreements directly affect the Principality of Andorra and the Republic of San Marino by establishing a formal framework for their relationship with the EU. EU citizens and businesses will also be impacted through increased cooperation. The proposed agreements represent a significant step beyond current cooperation arrangements. They will establish a closer political and economic association, potentially leading to new rules on trade, movement, and other areas of mutual interest. The European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs has prepared this recommendation, which will be voted on in plenary. If approved, the Council will formally conclude the agreements on behalf of the EU.
