  A proposal for a decision instituting a second concerted aCction project "by
  the European Economic Community on the effect of treatments on. the physical
  properties of foodstuffs ( Project C0ST90 bis) has just "been presented to the
  Council for adoption ..
  The proposal makes provision for the Community to conclude , in accordance
  with Article 228 of the Treaty , an agreement with the. non-member states
  participating in the scheme for European cooperation in the field of
  scientific and technical research ( COST ) in order to facilitate coordination
  between the Community project and the corresponding programmes of the
  states concerned . In order to facilitate the speedy, implementation of this
  project , the Commission will take the opportunity to negotiate the agreement
  with the non-member states concerned at the same time as discussions are held
  in the various instances of^ the Council on the programme decision .      This will
  make it possible for the Council to adopt the programme at the same time as
  the decision on the agreement , since neither the decision on the negotiating
  brief nor that on the conclusion of the agreement require that Parliament
  be consultedo
                                                   /•            '
  The conditions under which the non-member states involved in the COST scheme
  are to participate in the Community project are in line with those adopted
, by the Council on 18 July 1978 (-0J No C 100 of 21 April I&79 , p. I. ).
  Having regard to the above , the Commission proposes that the Council adopt
  the attached decision authorizing the Commission to negotiate with the non-
  member states involved in the COST scheme regarding their participation in
  the Community . concerted action project on the effect of treatments on
  the physical properties of foodstuffs (Project COST 90 bis ).
