Summary/Abstract: The Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which entered into force on 1 March 2021, is the basis of the bilateral relations between the EU and Armenia in the framework of the Eastern Partnership (EaP). Since Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), CEPA differs from the typical Association Agreements (AA) concluded by the EU with EaP countries Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova in 2014. Although CEPA has been designed to allow for the simultaneous integration of a partner within the EAEU and cooperation with the EU, it is unlikely to be used by other members of the former organisation, such as Belarus.
