table>(1)Council Decision 78/774/EEC of 19 September 1978 concerning the activities of certain third countries in the field of cargo shipping (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationalisation the said Decision should be codified.
(2)Information systems should be established to enable the Community institutions to be kept informed of the activities of the fleets of third countries whose practices are harmful to the shipping interests of the Member States and in particular in so far as those activities adversely affect the competitive participation of the fleets of Member States in international maritime trade. Those information systems must facilitate consultation at Community level.

(3)The possibility should be provided for the necessary measures to be adopted at Community level for the joint exercise by Member States of their powers to adopt counter-measures in respect of the cargo shipping activities of certain third countries,
