    International Sugar Agreement , 1987 .
3.  As it happens , the number of signatory countries was not enough ( fewer
    than   50% of      the votes     In each of      the    two categories ,        exporters   and
    importers )    for    the automatic entry         into force of        the Agreement on 1
    January 1988 .

    approval or notifications of provisional application , have been deposited
    to   decide      whether    the     Agreement     shall      enter    Into     force    between

    signatories ,      or   having    indicated     their     Intention     to   accede ,   to   the
    Agreement ,     is adequate ,    it should speak on behalf of the Community                    In
    favour of immediate entry into force of the Agreement .
