dingly; 2. The following paragraph 3 is added to Article 25:

'Article 25a 
The Community may, by means of agreements 
concluded pursuant to the Treaty with one or more

different from those provided for in this Directive, for 
the purpose of ensuring, under conditions of 
reciprocity, adequate protection for investors in 
Member States.' 
Article 2 
1. Member States shall take the measures necessary 
for them to comply with this Directive by 1 January 1989 
at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commis­
sion thereof. 
2. The Member States shall communicate to the

covered by this Directive.
