Decision (EU) 2019/104 on the position to be adopted within the EU-Mexico Joint Council as regards the amendment of Decisions No 2/2000 and No 2/2001

Summary:

Council Decision on the position to be adopted on behalf of the Union regarding the amendment of two Decisions of the EU-Mexico Joint Council to take account of Croatia's accession to the European Union.

Further information:

The EU-Mexico free trade area came into being through decisions taken by the Joint Council created under the Economic Partnership, Political Coordination and Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the United Mexican States, of the other part (the Global Agreement). These are Joint Council Decisions No 2/2000 of 23 March 2000 and No 2/2001 of 27 February 2001.

Following the adoption of the Third Protocol to the Global Agreement to take account of Croatia's accession to the European Union, the Joint Council Decisions must be amended so that the necessary adaptations can be made to the trade provisions in the Global Agreement. In December 2017 the European Commission presented a proposal on the Union's position regarding the amendments, which was approved by the Council of the European Union on 22 May 2018.
