THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Article 354 (2) of the Act of Accession lays down that the rights and obligations flowing, for the Portuguese Republic, from fisheries agreements concluded with third countries shall not be affected during the period for which the provisions of such agreements are provisionally maintained;
