samenwerking versterkt, het geografisch toepassingsgebied aanpast  
en de samenwerking bij het bestrijden van verontreiniging door andere  
gevaarlijke stoffen dan olie,mogelijk maakt.
De onderhandelingen hebben geleid tot de bijgevoegde teksten, die  
tijdens een diplomatieke conferentie, begin september 1983 in Bonn,

Ten einde de Gemeenschap in staat te stellen de genoemde overeenkomst  
met de overige overeenkomstsluitende partijen op genoemde diplomatieke

Aanbeveling tot ondertekening van de overeenkomst betreffende samen- ■  
werking bij het bestrijden van verontreiniging van de Noordzee door

I. Inleid'ijiq
Op 19 mei 1981 heeft de Raad een besluit goedgekeurd waarbij de Commissie  
wordt gemachtigd te onderhandelen over de toetreding van.de Europese  
Economische Gemeenschap tot de Overeenkomst van Bonn van 9 juni 1969  
inzake samenwerking bij het bestrijden van verontreiniging van de  
Noordzee door olie.
De onderhandelingen over de toetreding van de Europese Economische  
Gemeenschap tot de Overeenkomst van Bonn liepen parallel met onder-  
handelingen tussen de overeenkomstsluitende partijen over wijzigingen  
op de overeenkomst ten einde :
- de wederzijdse bijstand en de samenwerking bij het bestrijden van  
verontreiniging uit te breiden;
- het geografische toepassingsgebied van de overeenkomst aan te  
passen;
- samenwerking mogelijk te maken bij het bestrijden van verontreiniging  
door andere gevaarlijke stoffen dan olie.
Overeenkomstig het besluit van de Raad heeft de Commissie deze onder-  
handelingen gevoerd in overleg met de vertegenwoordigers van de  
Lid-Staten.
II. Verloop van de onderhandelingen
Tijdens de onderhandelingen bleek het noodzakelijk bepaalde aangelegen­
heden nader te bezien betreffende de mogelijkheid tot toetreding van de  
Gemeenschap tot de Overeenkomst, met name :
- het stemrecht,
- de financiële bepalingen,
- de verkiesbaarheic. voor het voorzitterschap.
Wat het stemrecht betre,., werd het dienstig geacht zich te houden aan  
de juridische precedenten ter zake (de teksten van de overeenkomst  
stemmen op dit punt overeen met artikel 19 van de Overeenkomst van
.  /  .  .  n

-  2 ~
Parijs), liet werd weinig waarschijnlijk geacht dat de overeenkomst­
sluitende partijen voor de toepassing van de overeenkomst, die vooral  
betrekking heeft op de uitwisseling van informatie, tot stemming zullen  
overgaan (1).
Financiële bepalingen :  de bijdrage van de Gemeenschap zal 2,5 % van de  
gewone uitgaven belopen (2).
Wat de verkiesbaarheid voor het voorzitterschap van de vergaderingen van  
de overeenkomstsluitende partijen betreft, heeft de Groep "Milieu"  
ermee ingestemd (3) onderstaande drie verklaringen op te nemen in de  
notulen van de Raadszitting waarop een beslissing zal worden genomen  
over de sluiting van de Overeenkomst :
- "De Raad en de Commissie overwegen dat de Voorzitter van de Overeenkomst  
van Bonn middels hoofdelijke stemming zal worden gekozen en niet door  
de verschillende Overeenkomstsluitende partijen bij toerbeurt zal  
worden geleverd."
- "De Raad verklaart dat er geen kandidatuur van de Gemeenschap voor  
het Voorzitterschap van de Overeenkomst van Bonn zal plaatsvinden  
zonder een Raadsdebat en een Raadsbesluit over dit onderwerp."
- "De Commissie verklaart dat zij niet voornemens is zonder instemming  
van de Raad de Gemeenschap bij de Overeenkomstsluitende partijen  
kandidaat te stellen voor het Voorzitterschap van de Overeenkomst van  
Bonn."
III. Afsluiting van de onderhandelingen
Op de vergadering van de overeenkomstsluitende partijen bij de Overeenkom  
van Bonn die van 26 tot 29 april 1983 werd gehouden, hebben alle overeen­
kom.-,.sluitende partijen de bijgaande ontwerp-tekst van de nieuwe overeen­
komst goedgekeurd, die eveneens de andere gevaarlijke stoffen bestrijkt.
