THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas, at the international conference on chemical weapons which took place in Paris from 7 to 11 January 1989, the Member States of the European Economic Community strongly condemned the use of chemical weapons and underlined their commitment to the early conclusion of a global, comprehensive and verifiable convention on the prohibition of the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and on their destruction;
Whereas discussions in the context of European Political Cooperation led notably on 14 February 1989 to a consensus that it is necessary to take urgent measures to control the export of certain chemical products which could be used for the production of such weapons;
Whereas the European Parliament adopted on 19 January 1989 a resolution on the proliferation of chemical weapons;
Whereas Article 30 (5) of the Single European Act laid down that the external policies of the European Community and the policies agreed in European Political Cooperation must be consistent;
Whereas the interests of the Member States and of the Community require that the export of certain chemical products which could be used for the production of chemical weapons be regulated by means of urgent, effective measures; whereas the Member States therefore decided to adopt a Council regulation pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and, in the light of the circumstances surrounding its adoption, to keep under review the scope for further action;
Whereas the list of chemical products annexed to this Regulation was agreed in the context of European Political Cooperation; whereas the content of the list may be re-examined in that forum;

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
