             COMMISSION DECISION (ECSC)
                          and
                    Proposal for a
                   COUNCIL DECISION
           on the conclusion of the fourth
               ACP-EEC Lomé Convention
 ---pagebreak---                            Explanatory- roejfloraitôum.
Attached is a draft Decision of the Council and the Commission of the
European Communities on the conclusion on behalf of the two uormiunj-ties
concerned of the Convention signed in Lomé on 15 December 1989.
This Decision will enable the Community to deposit the act of notification
- necesary to enable the Convention to enter into force - on time.
The Convention must be concluded by the Commission as well as the Council
because the Protocol concerning BCSC products forms an integral part of the
Convention and the Commission is competent to act under the ECSC Treaty
(formula corresponding to that used for the signature of the Convention).
A single act of conclusion is appropriate; the President of the Council
alone should deposit the act of notification.

The ei(vtf-visis in the new Convention on stepping up support for the private
sector In general - and SME in particular - and promoting .investment in ACP
countries will certainly broaden the scope for interested European SME to
participate in cooperation activities.
This topic has already been discussed by Parliament, the ACP-EEC Joint
Assembly and the Economic and Social Committee on a number of occasions,
with favourable results.
