Explanatory Memorandum 
At its meeting of 6 and 7 March 1995 the Council adopted negotiating directives for 
protocols adjusting agreements with Mediterranean non-member countries :. to take 
account of the accession to the Union of Austria, Finland and Sweden. 
Draft protocols drawn up in consultation with the Member States have so far been 
initialled with representatives of Andorra, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. 
There is no point preparing even interim protocols to the existing agreements with Israel, 
Morocco and Tunisia because the association agreements initialled or signed with these 
countries will enter into force before procedures for the ratification of the said protocols 
could be completed. 
The Commission asks the Council to approve the outcome of the negotiations and initiate 
the procedure for the signing of the protocols to the agreements concluded between the 
European Economic Community and the countries concerned. It encloses the proposals 
for decisions so that the Council can initiate the conclusion procedure once the protocols 
have been signed. 
The European Parliament will have to give its prior consent to conclusion. Ratification 
by the Member States will also be necessary in so far as they are contracting parties. 
The conclusion of protocols to the agreements between the Member States and all these 
countries (apart from Andorra) concerning ECSC products is a matter for the Member 
States.
