ABSTRACT

This chapter traces the history of legislative approximation between the European Union (EU) and Azerbaijan. It also discusses the impact of the EU policies, namely of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and the Eastern Partnership (EaP) on the legislative approximation in the country as reflected in national institutional developments and legislative reforms. The chapter analyses the application of international law within the Azeri judicial system. The institutional framework for the EUArmenia legislative approximation comprises the common institutions set up under the framework of the EUArmenia PCA and Armenian national institutions. The main task of the EUArmenia Cooperation Committee along with various sectoral committees and subcommittees is to monitor the process of implementation of the EUArmenia PCA. The Trade, Economic and Related Legal Issues Subcommittee play the most significant role among the subcommittees in the process of the legal approximation of Armenian legislation to EU law.
