document COM(2023)431
date July  5, 2023
 
(1) In November 2017, the Council authorised the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to open negotiations with Chile on a modernised Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part.

(2) The negotiations of the Advanced Framework Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part ('the Agreement') were successfully concluded by Chief Negotiators in December 2022.

(3) The Agreement should therefore be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion at a later date.

(4) In view of the need to apply this Agreement ahead of its entry into force following ratifications by the Member States, certain provisions of the Agreement should be applied provisionally.

(5) The Agreement, in accordance with its Article 41.10, does not, within the Union, confer rights or impose obligations on persons, other than those created between the Parties under public international law.

(6) A Joint Statement on the Provisions on Trade and Sustainable Development contained in the Advanced Framework Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (‘Joint Statement’), is attached to the Agreement.
