(2003/171/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the first sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 2(1) of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as "the Schengen Protocol"),
Whereas:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,

Whereas the Portuguese Republic, the Kingdom of Belgium and the United Kingdom have encountered unforeseeable delays in the implementation of the conversion plans initially approved; whereas the duration of the conversion programmes for the four said Member States should therefore be extended with effect from 1 January 1995;
