concerning the conclusion of an Agreement renewing the Agreement for scientific and techno-

America

(2004/756/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second paragraph
of Article 170, in conjunction with the first sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 300(2), and the
first subparagraph of Article 300(3),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

By its Decision of 13 October 1998 (2), the Council approved the conclusion of the Agreement for
scientific and technological cooperation between the European Community and the Government of
the United States of America.

Article 12(b) of the Agreement provides as follows: ‘This Agreement is concluded for an initial period
ending of five years. Subject to review by the Parties in the final year of each successive period, the
Agreement may be extended with possible amendments, thereafter for additional periods of five years
by mutual written agreement by the Parties’.

The authorities of the United States of America have informed the services of the Commission that
they would favour the renewal of the abovementioned Agreement for five more years. Rapid renewal
would therefore be in the best interests of both parties.

The material content of the renewed Agreement will be identical to the material content of the
Agreement, which expired on 13 October 2003.

The Agreement renewing the Agreement for scientific and technological cooperation between the
European Community and the Government of the United States of America should be approved on
behalf of the Community,
