## Resource

Andorra is poised to sign its historic Association Agreement with the EU on October 19th in Brussels, alongside San Marino — but don’t expect immediate implementation. While the deal moves forward, Andorra lacks domestic legal readiness, requiring both European Parliament approval (likely late 2024) and a national referendum — whose date remains undetermined. Prime Minister Xavier Espot warns that political uncertainty could derail the process if future governments delay or abandon it, especially as elections loom and parties clash over the agreement’s merits. The referendum’s timing hinges on EU endorsement and public education, making this one of the most consequential votes for Andorra’s future.
