The formal process for adopting the text was launched by the European Commission in September 2025. The agreement is systemic in scope: it aims at deep integration between the two blocs, which represent a combined market of over <strong>780 million consumers<\/strong> and are crucial for the supply of strategic raw materials. The EMPA, consistent with the EU&#8217;s \u201cnew generation\u201d agreements, not only focuses on the elimination of tariffs, but also establishes shared regulatory standards and mechanisms to correct possible factors of unfair competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6e1f71472a8d345191d74b047dc42c3a\" style=\"color:#085f9b\"><strong>MEASURES FOR THE LIBERALIZATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement provides for a broad and progressive elimination of tariff barriers.
