CEFTA Agreements signed in October 2024: Tracking the implementation

 

In October 2024, the CEFTA Joint Committee adopted eight agreements and one recommendation aimed at transforming trade and economic collaboration across the region. These documents promise tangible benefits across the region, from simplifying business operations and creating new job opportunities to strengthening consumer protections and facilitating border transits.

Monitoring the Ratification, Adoption and Approval (RAA) of CEFTA agreements presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the procedures involved and the often-limited responsiveness from the institutions in charge. Notwithstanding, CDI and its partners have strived to provide stakeholders with the most up-to-date, concise and accurate information available. This process is crucial to CEFTA transparency, accountability, legitimacy and effective implementation of agreements.

Developed through the “Channeling SEE6 Civil Society Contribution to the Common Regional Market and Berlin Process” initiative, this monitoring tool offers a snapshot of adoption progress, highlights the challenges faced, and encourages stakeholders to actively contribute to the ongoing work toward a fully integrated regional market.
