(2) | A further extension for a period of one year of the Convention is in the interest of both the Community and its Member States. Pursuant to Article XXV(b) of the Convention, that extension is conditional upon the remaining in force, for the same period, of the Grains Trade Convention 1995 (2). The Grains Trade Convention 1995 remains in force until 30 June 2009, and a further extension of it will be decided at the International Grains Council meeting in June 2009. The Commission, which represents the Community in the Food Aid Committee, should therefore be authorised to vote in favour of such extension, |
