EU trade agreements and trade arrangements
The EU manages trade relations with third countries through trade agreements and arrangements. These agreements and arrangements are based on mutual commitments between the EU and its trading partners and aimed to improve trading opportunities and remove barriers to trade. Trading under an agreement brings tangible benefits for businesses such as lower tariffs, improved market access, and less red tape.
