A ceremony was held in Brussels for the signing of the Association Agreement, as well as currency agreements between the European Union, Andorra, and San Marino. The event was attended by European Commission Commissioners Maroš Šefčovič and Valdis Dombrovskis, who called the event landmark for all parties involved. According to Šefčovič, the signing of the agreement opens a new chapter in EU relations with the two small European states. The document lays the foundation for closer integration of Andorra and San Marino into the EU single market while preserving their sovereignty and special status. The currency agreements, signed simultaneously with the main document, regulate the use of the euro as the official currency of both countries and establish rules for their participation in the relevant EU financial mechanisms. This will help strengthen economic stability and predictability for business and citizens of Andorra and San Marino. Representatives of the European Commission emphasized that the agreements resulted from years of negotiations and reflect the EU's commitment to building partnership relations with neighboring states based on shared values and mutual benefit. The implementation of the agreements is expected to promote trade, investment, and cross-border cooperation. The signing of the agreements is viewed as an important step in the process of further European integration of small non-EU states that are closely linked to the union economically and geographically.
