Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EC) 

terminating  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2472/94,  suspending  certain  elements  of  the 
embargo on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) 

(presented  by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

By adopting  resolution  943  (1994)  the  Security  Counil  permitted  the  resumption  of the 
ferry-service  Bar  - Bari, and  the flights  to  and  from  Belgrade  for  a  period  of  100 days. 
The Community has implemented this resolution by Council Regulation (EC) No 2472/94 
of  10 October 1994 

However, in paragraph 4 of that resolution the Security Council decided also that 'if at any 
time  the  Secreatary-General  reports  that  the  authorities  of  the  Federal  Republic  of 
Yugoslavia  (Serbia  and  Montenegro)  are  not  effectively  implementing  their  decision  to 
close  the  border,  the  suspension  of  the  measures  [i.e.  ferry-service  and  flights]..shall 
terminate on the fifth working  day following  the  report  of the  Secretary-General,  unless 
the Security Council decides to the contrary.' 

In order to ensure that the Council Regulation which will terminate the permission for the 
ferry-service  and flights  will be adopted and published on time, the Commission already 
puts forward now a proposal for a Council Regulation to that effect.
