The Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and its Member States, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part, was signed in Luxembourg on 16 June 2008 and entered into force on 1 June 2015. On 24 September 2012 the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to conclude a Protocol to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement to take account of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union. Several rounds of negotiations took place between 13 December 2012 and 28 April 2016. Following further technical consultations and correspondence, the Protocol was initialled by the Commission and Bosnia and Herzegovina on 18 July 2016. The Commission proposes that the Council decides on the conclusion of the Protocol on behalf of the European Union and its Member States. Signature and provisional application of the Protocol are subject to a proposal for a separate Council decision. The conclusion of the Protocol on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC) follows a separate procedure, by which the Commission recommends that the Council gives its approval, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 101 of the Treaty establishing the EAEC. |
