I. EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. In March and Apri I 1992 the Commission presented a set of proposals 
(seven EEC Regulations and one draft ECSC Decision)1 to the Counci I, 
dealing with agriculture, customs, trade and fisheries, to implement the 
Poseican, Poseima and Poseidom programmes for the Community's outermost 
regions. 
2. Parliament was consulted on the package and delivered its opinion on 
9 June 1992. 
3. The Commission is now presenting amended versions of six of these 
proposals under Article 149 (3) of the Treaty to take account of some of 
the amendments proposed in Parliament's opinion. 
As far as Parliament's other amendments are concerned, the Commission 
considers that, in essence, the aims pursued can be achieved within the 
framework of existing rules and regulations or , aIternativeIy, in the 
context of the Commission's initial proposals. Furthermore, certain 
agricultural amendments can be taken into account in the implementing 
regulations to be adopted by the Commission.

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0M(92) 377 final 
Brussels, 2 September 1992 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
Denouncing of the fisheries agreement between the former German Democratic 
RepublIc and Sweden 
(presented by the Commission) 
I 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. On 3 October 1990 the German Democratic Republic united with the 
Federal Republic of Germany. Following unification the Community 
assumed the former German Democratic Republic's International 
responsibilities in certain sectors, including the latters' 
fisheries agreement with Sweden. 
2. The agreement, which expires on 31 December 1993, concerns 
essentially a quota exchange of cod for herring. The Commission 
had already put on record during annual consultations with Sweden 
for 1992, that this arrangement with the former German Democratic 
Republic was not in the Community's interests. 
3. Sweden insisted, for its part, on continuing the quota exchange, 
considering that the expiry date of the agreement was very close. 
4. In view of the foregoing, the fisheries agreement between the 
former German Democratic Republic and Sweden must be terminated. 
In view of the twelve months' notice, the agreement must be 
denounced by 30 December 1992 at the latest. 
I 
COUNCIL DECISION 
Denouncing of the fisheries agreement between the former German Democratic 
Republic and Sweden 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
and in particular Article 43 thereof. 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Whereas, from the date of German unification on 3 October 1990, the 
Community took over the former German Democratic Republic's fisheries 
agreements, including one with Sweden signed on 16 December 1977; 
Whereas retaining this agreement, which essentially concerns a quota 
exchange of cod for herring, is not in the Community's Interests, taking 
Into account also the fisheries agreement between the Community and Sweden 
signed In Brussels on 21 March 1977; 
Whereas the agreement must therefore be terminated with effect from the 
next expiry date on 1 January 1994, 
Y 
SOLE ART I CUE 
The fisheries agreement concluded between the Government of the German 
Democratic Republic and the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden, signed on 
16 December 1977, Is hereby denounced. 
The President of the Council shall notify such denunciation.

Amended proposal for a

(presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 A (2) 
of the EC-Treaty) 
V03

EXPLANATORY HEHOBAWPUH 
1. This Communication concerns a modified proposal for a Council Recommendation 
on Common Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria. 
The objective of the Council Recommendation is to provide common security criteria 
for information systems, for use in evaluation and certification schemes within the 
Community. 
Common criteria represent an important step in achieving first a single Community 
market znd in the future an international market in secure information technology 
(IT) products, with all the obvious advantages for both manufacturers and users. 
Manufacturers will be able to build products and users to specify requirements to 
known, acceptable levels of security. 
2. The Commission submitted its proposal to the Council on 11 September 1992 -
COM(92)298 final. 
In their Opinion of 27 January 1993 the Economic and Social Committee welcomed 
the proposal. 
3. The European Parliament adopted a favourable Resolution on 25 May 1993, including 
a single amendment, adding some text. The amendment was justified on the grounds 
of the unnecessary extra costs involved if multiple evaluations had to be carried out on 
a single product to meet the needs of the international marketplace. 
The amendment was accepted by the Commission. 
4. Decision requested from Council: 
The Commission requests the Council to adopt the amended proposal for a Council 
Recommendation on Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria.
