5. Agreement on standardization and conformity assessment
It will serve to improve the quality of products and services, adapt them to the requirements of the European market, and increase export potential.

6. Cooperation in water resources management
The agreement provides for the exchange of experience in saving, recycling and effective management of water in the context of climate change. This agreement will play an important role in solving the problem of water scarcity.

7. Cooperation agreement in the field of tourism
