Sunset Clauses in International Law and their Consequences for EU Law

In
like manner, the Canada – EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade
Agreement (CETA), a recently reached trade agreement includes a three-year sunset clause in relation

That said, regardless of the
subject matter of the treaty, sunset clauses are attached in most bilateral
treaties in relation to the denunciation and in most multilateral treaties in the withdrawal process. Take
for example the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities, in
which Euratom prescribes that once a party denounces the Convention by written notification to the
depositary the 180-day sunset clause is activated before the automatic expiration.

Interestingly, in
most bilateral agreements in which the
EU is a Party, the sunset clause is of six months.
