A4-0303/97Legislative resolution embodying Parliament's opinion on the proposal for a Council Regulation concerning the conclusion of the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters amending the Agreement on cooperation in the sea fisheries sector between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (COM(97)0263 - C4-0421/97 - 97/0158(CNS))(Consultation procedure)The European Parliament,- having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council, COM(97)0263 - 97/0158(CNS) ((OJ C 203, 3.7.97, p. 12.)),- having regard to Article 228(2) of the EC Treaty,- having been consulted by the Council pursuant to Article 43 in conjunction with Article 228(3), first subparagraph, of the EC Treaty (C4-0421/97),- recalling its decision of 28 November 1996 on the proposal for a Council Regulation on the conclusion of an Agreement on cooperation in the sea fisheries sector between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and laying down provisions for its implementation ((OJ C 380, 16.12.1996, p.19.)), which states that reference should be made to the second subparagraph of Article 228(3) of the EC Treaty as the legal basis,- whereas, nevertheless, the changes envisaged in the Agreement under review are not such that they would require Parliament's assent, since they cannot be considered to have 'important budgetary implications' within the meaning of the above provision of the EC Treaty,- having regard to Rule 90(7) of its Rules of Procedure,- having regard to the report of the Committee on Fisheries and the opinions of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, the Committee on Development and Cooperation, and the Committee on Budgets (A4-0303/97),1. Approves the amendment of the Agreement;2. Points out that approval of the proposal does not alter the fact that Parliament still holds the view it adopted in its abovementioned decision of 28 November 1996, namely that the legal basis for the conclusion of the Agreement on cooperation in the sea fisheries sector between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, which was initialled on 20 June 1996, requires Parliament's assent, pursuant to Article 43 in conjunction with the second subparagraph of Article 228(3) of the EC Treaty;3. Instructs its President to forward this opinion to the Council and Commission, and the governments and parliaments of the Member States and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.
