The text includes standard political clauses concerning human rights, weapons of mass destruction, small arms, counter-terrorism, the International Criminal Court and migration, as well as provisions for socio-economic cooperation, including co-operation in the field of justice.

The principal effect of declaring this Agreement to be an EU Treaty so defined is that the provisions of section 2 of the European Communities Act 1972 apply to it.
