The stepping stone EPA has been applied on a provisional basis since 15 December 2016.

The EPA Committee is responsible for the administration of all the fields covered by the Agreement and for the achievement of all the tasks mentioned therein. At its second meeting, the EPA Committee is to adopt a decision relating to the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the Union. It is therefore appropriate to establish the position to be taken on behalf of the Union with regard to the adoption of the decision.
