Benelux Union Treaty

The Benelux Union Treaty came into force on 1 November 1960.

It was accompanied by a convention containing the transitional provisions and a protocol implementing the provisions of the Treaty.

The convention containing the transitional provisions specified the fields in which the Economic Union could not immediately be realised and furthermore the periods and conditions for abolishing the derogations to the final Treaty state.

The protocol implementing the provisions of the Treaty determines the implementing rules for a number of articles of the Treaty and the convention containing the transitional provisions, either by referring to existing conventions, or by adding new regulations.
