                    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . Under Article 284(3 ) of the third ACP-EEC Convention , signed on
    8 December 1984 in Lome , the provisions of the Convention do not
    apply in relations between the ACP States and Spain and Portugal
    as long as- a protocol of accession to the Convention has not
    entered into force . Negotiations concerning such a protocol
    resulted in an agreement being reached within the ACP-EEC Council
    of Ministers on 15 May 1987 .
    However , the implementation of the Protocol of Accession will not
    occur until after it has been ratified by all parties to the
    third Lome Convention . Meanwhile , the transitional arrangements
    adopted under Article 284 of the Convention , enabling Spain and
    Portugal to participate in the operation fo the Convention without
    having to wait , will expire on 30 June 1987 . This is why the
    ACP-EEC Council of Ministers asked the ACP-EEC Committee of
    Ambassadors to seek to implement the Protocol in advance with
    effect from 1 July 1987 .
    This Decision of the Committee of Ambassadors calls for an
    implementing Regulation to be adopted by the Council of the
    European Communities in order to ensure that the ACP-EEC Decision
    is implemented within the Community , as well as a Commission Decision
    covering products falling within the ECSC Treaty . These two
    instruments must also enter into force on 1 July 1987 .
2 . The provisions of the above-mentioned protocol also include
    certain modifications to the agricultural arrangements of the
    Third ACP-EEC Convention ( Council Regulation ( EEC ) n° 486 / 85 ).
    This Regulation should therefore be amended to take account of
    these modifications . There are no financial consequences other
    than those taken into consideration in the framework of the
     implementation in 1 935 of the agricultural arrangements of the
     Convention ( COMCSO ? 68 final ).
