THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal, and in particular Article 167 (3) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas on 2 November 1984 the Government of the 
Kingdom of Spain signed a sea fisheries agreement with 
the Government of the People's Republic of Angola for a 
period of one year; whereas that agreement continues to 
apply for further periods of six months unless notice of 
its denunciation has been given at least three months 
before the end of each such period; 
Whereas Article 167 (2) of the Act of Accession lays 
down that the provisions of fisheries agreements 
concluded by the Kingdom of Spain with third countries 
before accession to the European Economic Community 
shall not be affected during the period when the 
provisions of such agreements are provisionally main­
tained; 
Whereas the Kingdom of Spain, before its accession to 
the European Economic Community, renewed the 
agreement with the People's Republic of Angola for the 
period to 2 May 1986; by the institution or institutions of one or more of the 
other Member States, in accordance with the 
provisions of the Regulation; such reassessment may 
not give rise to any reduction in the amount of benefit 
awarded.' 
3. In Annex 1, section B, Denmark, point 4 is deleted. 
Article 3 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1986. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas under Article 167 (3) of the Act of Accession 
the Council is to adopt, before the expiry of the fisheries 
agreements concluded by the Kingdom of Spain with 
third countries, provisions appropriate for the 
continuation of fishing activities resulting therefrom, 
including the possibility of prolongation; 
Whereas, pending conclusion of a fisheries agreement 
between the European Economic Communities and the 
Government of the People's Republic of Angola, it is in 
the interests of the Community to authorize the 
Kingdom of Spain to renew for a further six months the 
sea fisheries agreement with the People's Republic of 
Angola, in order to avoid fishing by the Community 
vessels concerned being interrupted, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
