II.
Theexamination oftheacts relating tothefield mquestion calls
forthefollowing remarks :
1.The examination ofCommunity acts inthe fisheries sector covered
notonly unilateral acts "butalso thecontractual acts concluded by
theCommunity with oneormore non-member countries .
Accordingly ,theinstrument ofGreece *saccession will have tocontain
general provisions similar tothose laid down inArticle 4(0ofthe
Act ofAccession ofthethree newMember States ,stipulating that on
itsaccession totheCommunities Greece will bebound bytheagreements
and conventions concerned .
TheGreek Delegation hasindicated itsacceptance ofthe content ofall
theagreements which arebinding upon theCommunity inthefisheries
sector .However ,thereciprocal commitments undertaken bytheother
contracting parties could notbeextended tocover Greece byaunilateral
act oftheCommunity butwill have tobesanctioned byprotocols drawn
upbyagreement with theother contracting parties .Since thewording
ofsuch protocols canbedetermined oaly bymutual agreement with theother
parties ,itseemed appropriate toclassify theagreements inquestion
inAnnex III .
Theagreements included inthat Annex arethose which arealready
binding .This isthe case with agreements which have been concluded
andalso those which arebeing applied provisionally onthebasis of
aspecific international undertaking .Noreference ismade toagreements
which areonly being applied d_efacto after being initialled ,since
such agreements are notyetbinding upon theCommunity .
Adistinction must bemade between theagreements andtheconventions
themselves andtheacts adopted forthepurpose ofcompleting the
signature and conclusion procedures .Inasmuch assuch acts have no
effects beyond thecompletion ofthesaid procedures ,there isno
question ofamending them .Consequently they have been included in
Annex I. .
