On 18th Hay 1972 the Council approved "the Regulation (EEC ) n° IO55/72 on
notifying the Commission about fuel imports and the regulation (EEC )
n° 1056/72 on notifying the Commission about investment projects of
interest to the Community in the petroleum , natural gas and electrical
sectors .
The United Kingdom asked for a 6 month delay in the application of
these two regulations , from the start of the Treaty of Accession .
The estimated delay in the application of the approved regulation ,
before the conclusion of the Accession Treaty , are shown in annexe II
of the above Treaty .
The fact that the two above-mentioned regulations have been approved
after the signature of the Treaty of Accession justifies taking action ,
at the appropriate time to give the United Kingdom a 6 month delay
in the application of the two regulations after the start of the Treaty
of Accession .
The attached proposal for the regulation satisfies this wish .
