                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.        On 25 November 1985 the Counci l adopted directives authorizing the Commission
to enter into negotiations with Yugoslavia on the conclusion of a protocol
amending the trade arrangements provided for in the Cooperation Agreement
signed in Belgrade on 2 April 1980 .
          The first round of negotiations based on these directives was held
on 10 February 1986 but no agreement was reached because of the scope of the
Yugoslav requests .
2.        On 21 October 1986 the Council adopted further negotiating directives
supplementing those of 25 November 1985 .
          A second round of negotiations was held on 2 December 1986 . Although
the Community 's offer had been improved substantially both in the industrial
sector ( appreciable increases in the ceilings for certain products ) and in the
agricultural sector ( greater concessions for a wider range of products ) the
Yugoslav delegation felt that it was inadequate .
          In particular Yugoslavia wanted :
(i )      a better offer for the tariff ceilings on certain industrial products ,
especially fourteen products which make up a substantial part of their exports
to the Community ;
( ii )    improved access for certain agricultural products in particular babybeef ,
                                                             «
fruit , vegetables and tobacco ).
3.        A third meeting held from 8 to 10 July this year brought the positions of
the two sides closer . The Community délégation agreed to certain increases
( in the region of 5 - 10 % ) in tariff ceilings on industrial products of major
importance to Yugoslavia , while the Yugoslav delegation dropped its demands for
further agricultural concessions . Consequently on 10 July 1987, the heads of the
two delegations initialled the draft protocol establishing new trade arrangements .

4.         The Commission considers that the draft protocol , in accordance with
the Council 's negotiating directives , marks a new phase in the consolidations
and strengthening of relations between the Community and Yugoslavia .    This
phase will be particularly important for Yugoslavia , which is going through
a difficult period and also for relations between the Community and other
European countries .
5.         The Commission therefore calls on the Council to adopt this protocol
and to implement the necessary procedures for its signature and conclusion .
           It therefore presents :
( i ) a Recommendation for a Council Decision concerning thè conclusion of thè
Additional Protocol to thè Cooperation Agreement between thè European Economie
Community and thè Socialist Federai Republic of Yugoslavia ;
( ii ) the initialled draft Protocol and its Annexes ;
( iii ) the Final Act and the déclarations and exchanges of letters annexed to it .

of the other part ,
Having regard to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic
Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , signed at Belgrade
on 2 April 1980, hereinafter referred to as the " Agreement ",
Considering that the Agreement provided that the first stage of the
progressive removal of barriers affecting the bulk of trade between the
Contracting Parties should last five years and that the first stage
accordingly ended on 30 June 1985 ;
Considering that the trade arrangements to be applied subsequently should be
determined in accordance with Article 58 of the Agreement ;
Considering that the Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia wish to strengthen their relations still further in order to take
account of the new dimension created by the accession to the European
Communities of Spain and Portugal on 1 January 1986;
Considering that in the spirit of the Preamble to the Agreement and Article 14
thereof trade between the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the
Community should be enabled to develop and that certain provisions therefore
need to be laid down ,
Hâve accordingly decided to conclude a Protocol adapting certain provisions of
the Agreement , and to this end hâve designated as their Plenipotentiaries :
The Council of the European Communities ,
The Federal Executive Council    of   the  Assembly of   the   Socialist Federal
