COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the accession to the Convention on fishing and conservation of the living resources in the Baltic Sea and the Belts as amended by the Protocol of the Conference of the Representatives of the States Parties to the Convention signed in Warsaw on
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
C0MC83) 191 final.
In the Hague Resolutions of 3 November 1976 the Council agreed on the withdrawal in certain circumstances of Member States of the Community from international fisheries organizations and their replacement by the Community. Since then the Community has taken steps to accede to several international fisheries conventions, including the Convention on the Fishing and Conservation of Living Resources in the Baltic Sea and the Belts (the Gdansk Convention).
The Gdansk Convention, signed on 13/9/1973, entered into force on 28/7/1974. All countries bordering the Baltic Sea are members of the Convention, thus, out of the EEC-Member States, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany.
In September 1977 the Community was for the first time represented at a conference related to the Gdansk Convention, namely, in a ministerial meeting in Warsaw convened by the Polish Government in its capacity as Depositary, in order to discuss the consequences of Sweden's decision to extend its fishery zone. The late Vice-President Gundelach who represented the Community in the conference as an observer, made it clear that the Community wished to accede to the Convention.
Following a communication from the Commission to the Council on 17 November 1977, the two EEC-Member States which are contracting parties to the Gdansk Convention, sumitted to the Polish Government, depositary of the Convention, proposals for the amendment of the latter to permit the accession by the Community.
The Polish Government organized two conferences of the Representatives of the States Parties to the Gdansk Convention in Warsaw the first one from 22 to 26 June 1981 and the second one from 9 to 11 November 1982 in order to discuss the proposals for amendments to the Convention, inter alia the said Danish-German proposal.
./.
The second conference concluded the discussion on this item by signing on 11 November 1982 the attached Protocol which provides for :
"any intergovernmental economic integration organization" and, in practice, to the EEC ;
b) a specific invitation to the EEC to accede to the Gdansk Convention under the new Article XVII in the place of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany whose membership will cease at the moment the Convention enters into force for the Community ;
c) other amendments concerning Articles IX, X, XII and XIII of the Gdansk Convention.
The Parties furthermore agreed to use the special amendment procedure laid down in Article XVI of the Convention. A copy of the Protocol has been sent to all Parties, who shall inform the Depositary Government as to their acceptance of rejection of the amendments as soon as possible after the receipt of the communication.
The amendments enter into force 90 days after the receipt of the notifications of acceptance by all Parties.
3. Community participation .
Following the entry into force of these amendments, the Community should deposit its instruments of accession with the Depositary Government. Then, in accordance with Article XVIII para 2, the Convention will enter into force for the Community on the thirtieth day following the date of deposit of such instruments. One should normally expect that this procedure could be finalized before the next annual session which is scheduled for September 1983. From that moment on, the Community, by taking over all rights and obligations of a Contracting State, will be considered as a coastal state with one fishing zone, will have one vote and will have to contribute one of the equal shares to the total amount of the budget.
The Commission considers that, since the Community possesses the competence necessary to honour all the obligations which Contracting Parties undertake to the Gdansk Convention, it is in the interest of the Community to take over as soon as possible all rights and obligations of a Contracting State as stipulated by the Convention.
Therefore, the Commission invites the Council to adopt, after consultation of the European Parliament, the attached decision concerning the accession of the European Economic Community to the Convention on Fishing and Conservation of Living Resources in the Baltic Sea and the Belts as amended by the attached Protocol of the Conference of the representatives of the States Parties to that Convention.
