What is proposed
Parliament approves the Advanced Framework Agreement between the EU, its Member States and Chile, and brings into force its provisions of a legislative nature falling within Finland's competence. The agreement establishes a modernised framework for political dialogue, cooperation on security and justice, sustainable development, trade, and investment protection.
What it means
The reform benefits Finnish and European export and services companies as well as investors by making 99.9 per cent of EU exports duty-free and facilitating access to the Chilean market, raw materials and public procurement. At the same time, cooperation between states will be deepened in areas such as combating terrorism and organised crime. The entry into force of the agreement in Åland requires the consent of the Åland Parliament, and the agreement as a whole will enter into force once all EU Member States have completed their national ratifications.
