Partnership And Cooperation Agreements

Partnership and Cooperation Agreements in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, partnership and cooperation agreements is: PCAs. The name for the agreements between the European Community and the Newly Independent States. The parties offer each other most-favoured- nation treatment (MFN) for trade in goods. There are provisions also on trade in services, right of establishment, intellectual property protection and other areas. PCAs are seen by the Community in terms of rights and obligations as half-way between its standard framework agreements which do not offer preferences and the Europe Agreements, though there is no presumption of an automatic progression to a preferential trade arrangement.[1]
