By Council Decision 87/485/EEC of 28 September 19871 the Community
approved the International Coffee Agreement 1983, which entered into force
on 1 Ootdber 1983 for a period of six years to 30 September 1989.
Article 68 of the Agreement provides that it may be extended, with or
without modification, or renegotiated.
By resolution No 347 of 4 July 1989, the International Coffee Council
decided that the International Coffee Agreement 1983 would be extended for
a period of two years to 30 September 1991, with the suspension of certain
provisions, notably most of Chapter VII. Acceptance by the Community of
the Agreement as extended was notified to the Secretary-General of the
United Nations on 29 September 1989.
By resolution No 352 of 28 September 1990, the International Coffee Council
decided that the 1983 Agreement would be extended for a further period of
1 year to 30 September 1992.
The Commission believes that the Community and its Member States should as
soon as possible, and in any case before 30 September 1991, complete the
necessary formalities for participation in the Agreement as extended.
The Community and its Member States must, on the basis of a joint position,
proceed simultaneously with notification of acceptance of the Agreement as
extended, any individual initiative by the Member States being contrary to
the provisions of the EEC Treaty.
