HAVING REGARD to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland, signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, hereinafter called ‘the Agreement’, and to the Additional Protocol to that Agreement consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community, signed in Brussels on 14 July 1986,
