2.TheexaminationofCommunityactsinthefisheriessectorcovered
notonlyunilateralactsbutalsothecontractualacts(agreementsand
conventions)concludedbytheCommunityeitherinthecontextofother

Asinthecaseofcontractualactsrelatingtoothersectors,Portugal
willbeboundbythebodyofagreements -andconventions concludedin
thefisheriessector,andwillapplytheseasfromaccession(subject
toanytransitionalderogationsagreedoninthenegotiations).The

needfortheiradaptation ;inthisrespect,itwouldbeadvisableto
includeinthePortugueseinstrumentofaccessionageneralprovision
similartothatinArticle40)ofthe1972ActofAccession.
Certainprovisionsoftheseagreementsandconventions may,however,
needtobeamendedtoadaptthemtotheCommunity *snewsituation
followingPortugal'saccession.Incontrast,however,totheadaptations
whichwillbemadetotheCommunity'sunilateralacts,theamendments
