Bulgaria and Romania participation in EEA

This procedure concerns the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Economic Area (EEA). The EEA agreement extends the EU's internal market to non-EU countries, promoting economic cooperation and free movement.

This change will affect citizens and businesses in Bulgaria and Romania by granting them access to the EEA's internal market. It also impacts the functioning of the EEA institutions and the EU's relations with these countries.
