Country Policy Framework for Cooperative Approaches Under Article 6.2

The policy framework is intended to provide the minimum legal foundation required to give Parties (including private sector entities) the necessary certainty regarding their rights and obligations as participants to the cooperative approach, including the ability to enforce cross-border contractual arrangements. The policy framework is intended to facilitate negotiations and subsequent agreement between two or more Parties, and the policy framework does not in itself create an effective and binding cooperative approach between Parties.
