EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Agreement between the European Economic Community, the European Coal 
and Steel Community, their Member States and Austria, Finland, 
Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Sweden on the European Economic 
Area (EEA) : 
Protocol Adjusting the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 
1. The attached proposal for a Council Decision provides for the 
Council to conclude the Agreement on the EEA as adjusted by the 
Adjusting Protocol on behalf of the European Economic Community in 
accordance with Article 238 of the EEC Treaty ; for the Commission 
to approve the Agreement on behalf of the European Coal and Steel 
Community in accordance with the ECSC Treaty. 
2. The EEA Agreement, signed in Oporto on 2 May 1992, could not enter 
into force on 1 January 1993 as envisaged due to the negative result 
of the referendum in Switzerland. 
3. On 1 February 1993 the Council adopted the negotiating directives 
for the conclusion of a Protocol containing the modifications to the 
EEA Agreement which are necessary as a result of the non-
ratification by Switzerland. 
The remaining Contracting Parties have reached agreement upon such 
modifications. The draft Protocol Adjusting the Agreement on the 
European Economic Area was initialled on 26-2.-93, The Protocol is 
to be signed by the Contracting Parties during a Diplomatic 
Conference. 
4. The Adjusting Protocol and its Annex contain the modifications to 
the EEA Agreement which result from the non-participation of 
Switzerland in the EEA and the delayed entry into force of the 
Agreement. 
a) Art icles 1 and 22 lay down the rules concerning the date and the 
requirements for the entry into force of the EEA Agreement and 
of the Adjusting Protocol among the signatories to the Adjusting 
Protocol. Because of the incompatibility between Liechtenstein's 
close legal and administrative links with Switzerland, in 
particular its customs union, on the one hand, and its 
participation in the EEA independently of Switzerland, on the 
other hand, Liechtenstein must rearrange its relationship with 
Switzerland before it can apply the EEA. It is therefore 
provided that the EEA Agreement as adjusted by the Adjusting 
Protocol can only enter into force concerning Liechtenstein once 
the EEA Council has established that the good functioning of the 
EEA Agreement is not impaired. 
-xt-
b) Articles 2 to 19 contain the modifications to be carried out in 
relation to the EEA Agreement itself and to its Protocols, in 
particular : 
Article 5 opens for Switzerland the possibility to 
participate in the Agreement at a later stage ; 
Article 15 lays down that a number of provisions of the EEA 
Agreement concerning EFTA participation in some flanking 
policy programmes shall only enter into force on 1.1.1994 ; 
- Article 16 provides for a modification of Protocol 38 
reflecting the result of the renegotiations concerning the 
EFTA Financial Mechanism. Under the agreed formula the EFTA 
States shall take over part of the envisaged contribution of 
Switzerland. 
c) Article 20 refers to the Annex to the Adjusting Protocol, which 
contains the modifications to the Annexes to the EEA Agreement 
which have been agreed upon. 
5. The procedure for the EEC and the ECSC for concluding the EEA 
Agreement and the Adjusting Protocol are as indicated under 
paragraph 1. 
The European Parliament has given its assent to the EEA Agreement on 
28 October 1992. Its assent according to Article 238 of the Treaty 
will also be required in relation to the Adjusting Protocol. 
Furthermore, ratification of the EEA Agreement and of the Adjusting 
Protocol by each of the Member States is required for conclusion. 
6. In the light of the above considerations, the Commission requests 
the Council to adopt the attached proposal.

Joint Declaration 
Whilst fully respecting the outcome of the Swiss 
referendum of 6 December 1992, the EEA Contracting 
Parties regret that as a consequence of Swiss non-
participation the EEA could not be realised among the 
Contracting Parties initially foreseen. 
The EEÀ Contracting Parties have taken note that the
