European Union Negotiation Framework

The European Union Negotiation Framework is a structured process used to conduct negotiations between the EU and external parties, such as countries or organizations, over agreements like trade deals or cooperation agreements. It involves setting clear objectives, establishing negotiation teams, preparing strategies, and engaging in dialogue to reach mutually beneficial agreements. The framework ensures transparency, consistency, and adherence to EU policies and legal standards, guiding negotiators through each stage—from initial discussions to finalizing terms—while balancing the EU’s interests with those of its partners.
