Proposal for a Council Decision establishing the European Union position within the General Council of the World Trade Organization on the accession of the Republic of Tajikistan to the World Trade Organization

Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Republic of Tajikistan have reached the concluding stage of an agreement on the terms for the accession of the Republic of Tajikistan to the organization. This comes after 11 years of negotiations, which began when the Republic of Tajikistan submitted its application to join the WTO in 2001.

A Council Decision approving the terms of accession of the Republic of Tajikistan is required before the EU can formally support that approval in the WTO.
