EU relations with Azerbaijan are based on the EU-Azerbaijan Partnership and Co-operation Agreement in force since 1999. Negotiations on a new and upgraded framework agreement designed to reflect the enhanced and mutually beneficial EU-Azerbaijan co-operation in a wide range of areas, strengthen policy dialogue in key sectors and boost trade, are at an advanced stage.

The EU-Azerbaijan Partnership Priorities reflect the values and principles of the European Neighbourhood Policy.

SIGMA, the EC and the Azerbaijani authorities agreed a work programme in December 2022 that gives priority to co-operating with:

• The State Examination Center on developing the civil service legal framework and the Law on Legal Entities of Public Law.

• The State Service for Anti-monopoly Policy and Consumer Rights Protection on further developing the operational functioning of the procurement system, including electronic procurement.

• The competent authorities for public administration reforms on reviewing their initiatives.
