EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. The Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union[1] was signed on 9 December 2011.

2. In accordance with Article 6 of the Act of Accession concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Croatia, Croatia has undertaken to accede to the agreements concluded or signed by the present Member States and the Union with one or more third countries or with an international organisation. Pursuant to this same provision, the accession of Croatia to such agreements shall be agreed by the conclusion of a protocol to such agreements between the Council, acting unanimously on behalf of the Member States, and the third country or countries or international organisation concerned. These protocols[2] are to be negotiated by the Commission on the basis of negotiating directives approved by the Council, acting unanimously, and in consultation with a committee comprised of the representatives of the Member States, and concluded by the Council.

3. For that purpose, the Commission should submit to the Council a recommendation for the adoption of a decision authorising the Commission to open negotiations for the adaptation of agreements (referred to in the Annex attached to the draft Recommendation) signed or concluded between the European Union, or the European Union and its Member States, with one or more third countries or international organisations in view of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union. The Commission should be authorised to negotiate these adaptations on behalf of the European Union and its Member States, including – subject to the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession – the Republic of Croatia.

4. With a view of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union, it is also necessary to negotiate the amendment of certain preferential agreements signed or concluded by the European Union, or the European Union and its Member States, with one or more third countries or international organisations.

5. Appendix 1 to the negotiating directives, attached to the draft Council Decision, contains a non-exhaustive list of agreements concluded by the European Union, or by the European Union and its Member States, with third countries, which might need to be amended in light of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the EU.

6. Appendix 2 to the negotiating directives contains an indicative list of "sectoral" agreements which might also need to be adapted in light of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the EU.

7. Appendix 3 of the negotiating directives contains an indicative list of trade agreements negotiated by the European Union with third countries and international organisations which might be signed before the 1st July 2013, foreseen date of accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union. Once they are signed those agreements will need to be adapted as well, in order to take into account the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the EU.

8. Some of the agreements listed in the appendices set up institutional bodies entitled to adopt Decisions which are binding for all the contracting parties. The mandate to be obtained from the Council will have to cover those Decisions as well.

The Commission therefore recommends to the Council:

– to adopt the attached Decision authorising the opening of negotiations for the adaptation of the above mentioned agreements signed or concluded between the European Union, or the European Union and its Member States, with one or more third countries or international organisations, in view of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union;

– to issue the negotiating directives attached to that Decision;

– to designate a special committee in consultation with which the negotiations must be conducted

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 218(3) and (4) thereof,

Having regard to Treaty between the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, Ireland, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Republic, Romania, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Member States of the European Union) and the Republic of Croatia concerning the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union[3], signed on 9 December 2011, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,

Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Croatia and the adjustments to the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community[4], and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(2) thereof,

Having regard to the recommendation from the European Commission,

Whereas negotiations should be opened for the adaptation of agreements signed or concluded between the European Union, or the European Union and its Member States, with one or more third countries or international organisations, in view of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union,

ANNEX

Directives for the negotiation on behalf of the Union, or the European Union and its Member States for the adaptation of agreements signed or concluded between the European Union, or the European Union and its Member States, with one or more third countries or international organisations

Appendices 1 to 3 to the present negotiating directives contain an indicative list of the agreements to be adapted in view of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union.

With regard to these agreements and possible future agreements of the same kind which enter into force before accession, protocols should be negotiated which should provide for the necessary adaptations, where appropriate, to take account of the accession of a new contracting party (Croatia).

Furthermore, where existing, current trade concessions should be reviewed in order to take account, on the one hand, of traditional trade and, on the other, of existing concessions between third country partners and Croatia, with a view of at least maintaining such traditional trade.

In essence, these agreements should be amended so as to add Croatia to the list of contracting parties and/or to adapt the content of each agreement to take into account the accession of Croatia to the EU.

The protocols should contain a clause specifying that the agreements are modified subject to the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of the Republic of Croatia to the EU, foreseen for 1 July 2013.

Negotiations should be concluded as soon as possible in order to allow for the protocols to enter into force on the date of, and subject to, the accession of, Croatia. In case the protocols cannot enter into force on the date of accession, a provisional application should be envisaged, taking into account the respective procedures in the EU and in the third countries concerned.
