By decision of 19 December 1994 the Council and the Commission approved the Europe Agreements establishing an association between the European Communities and the Czech Republic, and an association between the EC and the Slovak Republic.

The objective of the Agreements is, inter alia, the expansion of trade, the promotion of economic relations and the provision of a basis for the Community's financial and technical assistance to the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. In the field of telecommunications, the parties will extend and strengthen their cooperation; to this end there will be an exchange of technical and other information, transfers of technology and a promotion of new communications services and facilities, particularly those with commercial applications. With regard to information and communication, the Community and the Republics will take steps to stimulate effective mutual exchange of information.
