CEFTA Structures

The CEFTA Parties have created a number of structures to manage and support the implementation of the Agreement.  Some of these such as the Joint Committee were established under the Agreement itself, others have been set-up more through Decisions of the Joint Committee and some function on a more ad hoc basis.

The official bodies of CEFTA include

The Joint Committee, which is chaired by one of the Parties on a rotating basis (see Chairmanship)
The Sub-committee on Agriculture and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Issues
The Sub-committee on Customs and Rules of Origin
The Sub-committee on Technical Barriers to Trade and Non Tariff Barriers
The CEFTA Secretariat

The CEFTA Parties also hold regular meetings of Deputy Ministers responsible for trade to ensure progress on different issues and, on occasion, Summits of Prime Ministers are organised to highlight particular achievements and to reiterate the commitment to trade liberalisation and investment promotion.

Information on each of these structures can be found by clicking on the link above or on the menu.
