of 14 December 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 2596/97 extending the period provided for in Article 149(1) of the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 149(2) thereof,

(2) It is therefore necessary to make use of the possibility afforded by the 1994 Act of Accession to extend the period in question; an additional period of four years seems appropriate;

(3) There should also be a mid-term examination of the progress made by those Member States in applying the Community rules,
