EU - Singapore FTA

This procedure concerns a legal opinion from the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the EU and Singapore. The court was asked to determine if the agreement falls entirely within the EU's exclusive competence or if it requires ratification by individual member states.

The ruling affects how the EU concludes trade deals with non-EU countries. It clarifies the legal boundaries between EU-level powers and national sovereignty in international trade agreements.
