Azerbaijan gained independence from the USSR in 1991 and formal relations with the EU began in 1996. There are three main issues in the relationship: broadening political frameworks between Azerbaijan and the EU, cooperation in the energy sector, and Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. Economically, in 2011 trade with the EU represented 42.5% of Azerbaijan's total trade. Azerbaijan is an important supplier of oil and gas to the EU. Major imports from the EU to Azerbaijan include machinery and transport equipment, while major exports from Azerbaijan to the EU are mineral fuels and lubricants.
