COUNCIL DECISION of 18 December 1975 renewing the machinery for medium-term financial assistance (75/785/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 103 and 108 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas Article 1 (2) of Council Decision 71/143/EEC (1) of 22 March 1971 setting up machinery for medium-term financial assistance, as amended by the Act of Accession (2), provides that this machinery, which is initially valid for a period of four years commencing 1 January 1972, shall then be automatically renewed every five years if agreement is reached on the transition to the second stage of the plan for economic and monetary union, and provided that one or more Member States do not object;

Whereas the machinery for medium-term financial assistance avoids the need for recourse to the safeguard clauses of the Treaty;

Whereas the reasons for setting up this machinery are still valid, and are in fact now stronger by reason of the fact that balance of payments problems have become more acute;

Whereas the initial period of validity of the machinery for medium-term financial assistance should therefore be increased from four to eight years,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In Article 1 (2) of Decision 71/143/EEC, the words "eight years commencing 1 January 1972" and "31 December 1979" should be substituted for the words "four years commencing 1 January 1972" and "31 December 1975" respectively.

COUNCIL DECISION of 3 March 1975 concerning Community participation in the Interim Commission established on the basis of resolution No III of the convention for the prevention of marine pollution from land-based sources (75/438/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);

Whereas in resolution No III annexed to the Final Act of the convention for the prevention of marine pollution from land-based sources of 21 February 1974, it is recommended that an Interim Commission be established, comprising representatives of the signatories of the convention;

Whereas by Decision No 75/437/EEC (2) this convention has been concluded on behalf of the Community;

Whereas the representative of the Community within the Interim Commission should therefore be designated,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

Pending the entry into force of the convention for the prevention of marine pollution from land-based sources, the Commission shall be authorized to represent the Community in the working group entitled "Interim Commission" established on the basis of resolution No III annexed to the Final Act of the convention.

Done at Brussels, 3 March 1975.
