EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

On 24 September 2012 the Council authorised
the Commission to open negotiations, on behalf of the European Union and its
Member States and the Republic of Croatia, with the former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in order to conclude a
Protocol to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) between the
European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of
the other part, to take account of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to
the European Union.

These negotiations started on 18 December 2012,
following prior technical consultations with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on the
issue. Further negotiating rounds took place on 25 January and 10 April 1013. The
Government of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia confirmed its agreement with the protocol on 25 October 2013. The
Protocol is updated to reflect the 2013 EU Customs Tariff and the gradual
abolition of duties under the SAA. The text of the Protocol is attached.

The Commission proposes that the Council
decides on the signature and provisional application of the Protocol on behalf
of the European Union and concludes the Protocol on the behalf of the European
Union and its Member States. For the conclusion of a Protocol on behalf of the
European Atomic Energy Community, the Commission proposes that the Council
gives its approval, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 101 of the
Treaty establishing the EAEC.

The attached proposal is for a Council
Decision on conclusion of the Protocol. The Commission proposes that the
Council:

- concludes the Protocol on behalf of the
European Union and its Member States.
