   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 98 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the Commission,
   With reference to the opinion of the European Parliament,
   Whereas the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic have applied to accede to the European Coal and Steel Community;
   Whereas the conditions of accession to be determined by the Council have been negotiated with the abovementioned States,
   HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Article 1
   1.   The Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic may become members of the European Coal and Steel Community by acceding, under the conditions laid down in this Decision, to the Treaty establishing that Community, as amended or supplemented.
   2.   The conditions of accession and the adjustments to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community necessitated thereby are set out in the Act annexed to this Decision. The provisions of that Act concerning the European Coal and Steel Community shall form an integral part of this Decision.
   3.   The provisions concerning the rights and obligations of the Member States and the powers and jurisdiction of the institutions of the Communities as set out in the Treaty referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply in respect of this Decision.
   Article 2
   1.   The instruments of accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Coal and Steel Community will be deposited with the Government of the French Republic on 1 January 1986.
   2.   Accession will take effect on 1 January 1986, provided that all the instruments of accession have been deposited on that date and that all the instruments of ratification of the Treaty concerning accession to the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community have been deposited before that date.
   If, however, one of the States referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article has not deposited its instruments of accession and ratification in due time, accession shall take effect for the other acceding State.

   4.   The Government of the French Republic will remit a certified copy of the instrument of accession of each acceding State to the Governments of the Member States and of the other acceding State.
