The Baltic Assembly, desirous of an accelerated commencement of negotiations between the European Union and the Baltic States concerning the Association agreements, hopes these Agreements will be prepared and signed as soon as possible. Seeking active cooperation between the Baltic States in the preparation of these Association Agreements, the Baltic Assembly recommends that the Governments of the Baltic States, coordinate the preparation process of said Agreements, as well as commence consultations concerning the harmonisation of national laws to the European Union standards.
