Slovak Rep

Joining the EU has been a priority for Slovak foreign policy since the establishment of an independent Slovak Republic in 1993. The European Association Agreement between Slovakia and the EU was signed on November 4, 1993 and entered into effect from February 1, 1995. Political considerations slowed negotiations between 1993-1998. However, in 1999, accession negotiations were reopened and 2000 marked a pronounced qualitative change in the relationships between Slovakia and the EU. Slovakia informed the EU that it would not request any exceptions with respect to the implementation of the acquis communautaire (common body of law), and would only request a limited number of transition periods, mostly concerning areas where the performance of the economy must be improved or where big capital investments have to be made.
