Mutual recognition agreement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mutual recognition agreement or MRA is an international agreement by which two countries agree to recognize one another's conformity assessments. These have become increasingly common since the formation of the World Trade Organization in 1995. MRAs have been forged within and among various trade blocs, including APEC and the European Union.
MRAs are most commonly applied to goods, such as various quality control MRAs. However, the term is sometimes applied to agreements on the recognition of professional qualifications as well.
