Accession Treaty

An Accession Treaty is an agreement that allows a country to join a larger organization, such as the European Union. It outlines the terms, obligations, and reforms the candidate country must undertake to meet the organization’s standards and rules. Once signed and ratified, the treaty officially incorporates the new member, committing both parties to cooperation and shared policies. Essentially, it serves as a formal pathway for a country to become part of a broader political and economic union, ensuring a smooth transition and alignment with existing members.
