Eurasian Integration: to Brussels via Moscow

A lot of countries that do not belong to the European Union take efforts to approximate their national legislation to that of the EU. With reference to non-EU member states legislative approximation means transposition, implementation and enforcement of the acquis in their national legal practices. In a narrower sense approximation can be defined as a legislative process that aims gradually to bring closer and eventually to bring into compliance third countries’ legislative framework with the acquis.
