EU-Mongolia Partnership and Cooperation Agreement

On 1 November 2017, the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) between the European Union and its Member States and Mongolia entered into force. Replacing the 1993 Agreement on trade and economic cooperation, the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement strengthens the existing relationship between the EU and its Member States and Mongolia, consolidates existing areas of cooperation and engagement, and deepens and diversifies relations further in areas of mutual interest.

The Agreement provides the legal framework for expanding EU-Mongolia relations and covers issues such as political dialogue, trade, development assistance, cooperation in the field of agriculture and rural development, energy, climate change, research and innovation, education and culture.

Trade and economic relations with Mongolia

The EU is Mongolia's 3rd import partner after China and Russia, a second export market (€ and ranks 3rd total trade partner.

Mongolia is a beneficiary of the EU Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP+), which unilaterally supports developing countries to achieve sustainable development through trade. Trade preferences promote universal values of human rights, core labour standards, environmental protection and good governance. EU imports from Mongolia under GSP+ remain concentrated on articles of apparel and textiles.
