NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE ACCESSION OF PORTUGAL
TWENTY-FOURTH COMMISSION REPORT TO THE COUNCIL ON THE EXAMINATION 
OF COMMUNITY SECONDARY LEGISLATION
SUPPLEMENT TO THE PREVIOUS REPORTS CONCERNING ACTS 
RELATING TO THE FOLLOWING FIELDS:
RULES OF COMPETITION 
EXTERNAL RELATIONS (EEC AND ECSC) 
APPROXIMATION OF LAWS 
ENVIRONMENT AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
C0MC84) 24 final

1. In continuation of the systematic examination of Community secondary  
legislation undertaken with the Portuguese Delegation in accordance with  
the brief received from the Council, the Commission has carried out an  
interim supplementary examination of the general acts adopted by the  
institutions of the European Communities in the following fields:
This supplementary examination covered the general acts adopted and/or 
published after the closing dates for the previous examinations of 
Community legislation and in force on 1 March 1983.
As in the previous sector examinations, the Portuguese Delegation was also  
informed of all the acts adopted by the Council or the Commission in the  
fields in question which are not part of Community secondary legislation  
proper and are not legally binding on the Member States or their nationals  
(such as recommendations, resolutions and other internal decisions) but  
are of interest for the development or direction of Community activities  
and as such form part of the acquis communautaire.  Naturally, these
acts do not raise any problems of adaptation and are therefore not listed 
in the annexes to this report.
2. Subject to the remarks made below, the results of the supplementary  
examination are set out in the two annexes to this report:
Annex I lists the new acts examined which do not require any technical  
adaptation to take account of Portugal's accession;
Annex II gives details of the technical adaptations which need to be made  
to certain acts and which will have to be specified in the accession  
instruments.
In the course of this interim supplementary examination it was found 
that certain acts which were in force at the time of the previous 
examinations of each of the fields in question - and which were 
accordingly included in the examinations - have since lapsed or have 
been amended by new acts adopted subsequently.rules of competition, 
external relations, 
approximation of laws, 
environment and consumer protection.
II.

-  2 -
Any amendments which consequently need to be made to the technical 
adaptations set out in the conclusions of the reports embodying the 
results of the previous examinations are given in Annex II to this 
report in the form of corrections or additions to be made to the 
said previous results.
An examination of the acts in question give rise to the following 
additional remarks:
A. RULES OF COMPETITION
Examination of the new acts adopted in this field did not reveal any 
special problems which would have to be resolved in the framework of 
the.substantive negotiations.
B. EXTERNAL RELATIONS
1. It seemed advisable, as in previous examinations, to exclude from 
the scope of the present supplementary examination the acts concerning 
relations between the Community and Portugal, as these acts, by 
definition, will lapse in the event of the accession of that state.
In addition, Council Regulations (EEC) No 3377/82, No 3378/82 and 
No 3379/82 of 8 December 1982 and Decision 82/862/ECSC of the 
representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the ECSC 
of 8 December 1982 (OJ L 363 of 23 December 1982), concerning the 
application of generalized tariff preferences for 1983 to industrial, 
textile, agricultural and iron and steel products respectively 
originating in the developing countries, were also excluded from the 
examination as they are applicable only to 1983. Any acts adopted with 
a view to the multiannual application of the generalized preferences 
for subsequent years will be examined at a later stage. Nevertheless, 
the Portuguese delegation was given adequate information at this 
point on the system of generalized preferences which the Community 
applies on a renewable basis.
Finally, as indicated in the results of the initial examination in 
this field, Community acts of a contractual nature for which it has 
become clear that certain adaptations will have to be made at a later 
stage by means of protocols to be concluded with the partner 
countries in question are to be found in the list of acts not 
requiring adaptation. These acts are marked with asterisks so that 
they can be identified in due course when the accession instruments 
have been signed.
2. The Commission's supplementary examination of the acts relating 
to this field did not reveal any special new problems which would 
have to be resolved in the framework of the substantive negotiations 
and which have not already been referred to in the statements 
exchanged on this chapter.

C. APPROXIMATION OF LAWS
Among the acts examined in this field is the Convention C82/972/EEC) 
of 25 October 1982 on the accession of the Hellenic Republic to the 
1968 Convention on jurisdiction and enforcement of judgments in 
civil and commercial matters (OJ L 388, 31.12.1982, p. 1).
As was pointed out in the results of the initial examination of the 
acts relating to this field and notified to the Portuguese delegation, 
Portugal will have to undertake to accede to the amended Convention 
in question. As in the case of the accession of Greece, Portugal's 
accession to this Convention will entail the need to adapt it in 
various ways. However, the adaptations cannot be set out in the act 
of accession of Portugal to the Communities. They wilt have to be 
sanctioned by a new supplementary convention to be concluded by all 
the Member States of the enlarged Community on the completion of 
negotiations which Portugal will have to undertake to this end with 
the present Member States, on the basis of a report which the 
Commission will present to the Council at the earliest possible date 
after accession.
The Convention is therefore listed in the list of acts which require 
no adaptations, but is marked with an asterisk.
D. ENVIRONMENT AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
The examination of the new acts in this field did not reveal any 
special problems which would have to be resolved in the framework 
of the substantive negotiations.
See C0NF-P/45/80.
