Abstract
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, and when the Community and its member states recognised the new independent states (NIS) of the former USSR and established diplomatic relations, the Commission, in its Communication on January 9, 1992 to the Council, proposed to replace the Trade and Co-operation Agreement with the Soviet Union signed in December 1989. This was not only due to the fact that the identity of the Community’s partners had changed. The democratisation process and the transition to market economy in the NIS called for a new approach, as compared to the ‘first generation’ trade and cooperation agreements.
