The association agreement between the EU and Andorra and San Marino aims to deepen economic and political integration. It replaces existing bilateral agreements and establishes a unified framework for access to the EU single market. Key objectives include promoting growth, stability, and competitiveness through alignment with EU legal standards. The limited administrative capacities of the microstates are taken into account to ensure gradual implementation. The agreement also enhances cooperation in areas such as security, climate protection, and public health.
