Framework agreement for cooperation 
between the European Economic Community 
and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay 
The Council of the European Communities, 
of the one part, 
The Government of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, 
of the other part, 
Considering the traditional links of friendship between the Member 
States of the European Economic Community, hereinafter referred to as 
"the Community", and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, hereinafter 
referred to as "Uruguay", 
Reaffirming the importance they attach to the principles of the United 
Nations Charter, democratic values and the observance of human rights, 
Considering that, in recent years, the Community has developed a new 
strategy for cooperation with Latin America specially geared to 
tackling the problems of Latin America and of its various regions, 
Mindful of the fact that the Agreement at present in force between the 
Community and Uruguay dates back to 1973 and does not provide an 
appropriate legal framework for developing more extensive, in-depth 
economic cooperation comprising all the instruments designed for 
implementing the new strategy, 
Taking account of their mutual interest in establishing new contractua 
links in order to develop extensive cooperation in areas which are of 
key importance to social and economic progress, and in stepping up and 
diversifying trade and encouraging the flow of investment, 
Taking account of the two parties' interest in improving the standard 
of living and quality of life of their respective populations, 
Mindful of the particular situation of Uruguay as a developing country 
which is highly vulnerable to the periodic fluctuations of the 
international economy and to the influences of its surroundings, and 
the particular productive and export structure which is one of its 
features at this stage in its economic development, 
Recognizing the two parties' interest in promoting environmental 
protection and fully incorporating it in all development policy, 
-> 
Mindful of the importance of securing the participation in cooperation 
of the individuals and bodies with a direct interest in the matter, 
particularly economic operators and the bodies which represent them, 
Taking account of their status as Contracting Parties to the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and of the need to uphold and 
improve the rules for free and unhampered international trade, 
Whereas Uruguay is engaged in a regional integration process with 
Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay and whereas equivalent, comparable 
cooperation should be developed with this group of countries so as to 
support their integration process, 
Having regard to the new Community guidelines for cooperation with the 
Asian and Latin American developing countries, 
Having regard to the Rome Declaration of 20 December 1990 and the 
Luxembourg Declaration of 27 April 1991 by the Community and its Member 
States and the Rio Group countries, 
Have decided to conclude this Agreement and to this end have designated 
as their plenipotentiaries: 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
The Foreign Minister of ... 
President of the Council 
Abel Matutes, 
Member of the Commission,
