- Abstract
ESA established legal relations with transformation countries in the nineties by signing Framework Agreements with Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania. 2001, a new agreement opening up opportunities for their closer participation in ESA programs has been defined: The European Cooperating State Agreement was signed by Hungary in April 2003 followed by the Czech Republic in November 2003 and by Romania on February 2006. These bilateral Agreements are legal basis for developing Plans for European Cooperation State Charter (PECS). Their main objective is to associate the transformation countries with ESA programs and activities and to prepare them in the most efficient manner for their accession to the ESA Convention. During this accession process, several legal problems must be solved.
