EU Deal for San Marino: The EU Council has greenlit the signing and provisional application of a comprehensive association agreement with Andorra and San Marino, bringing both into an enlarged internal market framework and setting up a gradual, assessment-based path for financial services access, with EU supervisory authorities involved.
