DeutschMulti-speed integration
Multi-speed integration (Multi-level or a la carte integration) refers to an integration community where participants independently choose to advance to different levels of integration, resulting in varying degrees of integration among members (including Economic integration).
Multi-speed Europe and Differentiated integration approaches are discussed in the framework of European integration. In the context of European integration, the four freedoms are considered to be inseparable and inviolable. Countries hoping to share in the free movement of goods, services and capital must accept the free movement of labour as well.[1][2]
Multi-speed integration is proposed in Mercosur.[3]
Multi-speed integration was envisaged by the Treaty on the formation of a single economic space of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
After the conclusion of the Agreement on free trade in services, the Information and Analytical Department of the CIS Executive Committee notes in October 2023 that at the moment a kind of pyramid of integration entities has developed in the CIS countries, differing in the depth of economic integration, and the implementation of free trade agreements and a number of other documents will lead to the formation of a full-fledged common economic space within the Commonwealth. Within its participant countries, state borders will cease to be an obstacle to the free movement of goods, services, labor and capital.[4] The Union State of Russia and Belarus is described as the integration core within the Eurasian Economic Union and post-Soviet economic integration.[5][6][7]
