On December 19, 2006 in Bucharest under the Chairmanship of Romania, the Central European Free Trade Agreement was substantially amended and its membership enlarged to create CEFTA 2006 – a modern and ambitious free trade agreement with six new Parties from South Eastern Europe.
Following the necessary ratification processes, this new CEFTA entered into force across the various Parties between July and November 2007. The speed with which they ratified the agreement illustrates the Parties’ belief in the importance of CEFTA for stimulating economic development and the EU accession agenda in the region.
The signatories to CEFTA 2006 are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) on behalf of Kosovo in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244,
As foreseen in the Agreement, Bulgaria and Romania withdrew from CEFTA upon their accession to the EU in 2007 and Croatia withdrew following its accession to the EU in July 2013.
Each CEFTA Party has appointed official Contact Points to coordinate communications on behalf of their respective Party with the various stakeholders. They also provide official data and information to the Secretariat.
*This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo* declaration of independence.
