Abstract:
This paper compares the three Association Agreements (AAs) and Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) that the EU has concluded with Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. In particular, it explores the main differences in the ‘political’ and trade-related chapters and the provisions on legislative approximation. Whereas the scope and contents of these sets of agreements are very similar, some specific differences can be identified in view of the different political and economic priorities of the EU’s partner countries.
