SUPPLEMENTARY DIRECTIVES FOR THE COMMISSION FOR THE NEGOTIATION
           OF FISHERIES AGREEMENTS WITH DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
1.      On 3 November 1976 , the Council adopted a Resolution concerning
certain external aspects of the creation of a 200-nautical mile fishing
zone in the Community .
         On June 27 , 1977, the Council authorized the Commission to open
negotiations with Guinea-Bissau , Senegal , Mauritania and Cape Verde on
the basis of the directives already agreed for negotiations with those
third countries to which the Community does not offer reciprocity of
fishing rights .     These directives were confirmed and made more precise
by the Decision of 7 December 1977 ( S / 1962 / 77 and R / 3217 / 777 .
2.       Meanwhile , a large number of States have extended their fishing
zones to 200 miles and are making fishing in those zones subject to
authorization .     Certain developing countries in particular have shown
                        »
a desire to enter into negotiations with the Community ( Guinea , Sao Tome
and Principe , Gabon , Congo , Angola ) ; in addition , one of the Member
States has requested that negotiations be opened with the Seychelles and
Mauritius .     Furthermore , the Agreement between Italy and Tunisia expires
 in June 1979 and a new agreement will have to be negotiated by the Com
munity .
          In these circumstances , it seems appropriate to give the Commission
 the authority to open negotiations with all the developing countries in
                                                  Λ
 which Community fishermen have a justified interest .       It is also desira
 ble that the Commission should be able to open negotiations immediately ,
 particularly in those cases where it is approached by a country that is
 seeking increased cooperation by establishing closer relations with the
 Community .
                                                                        •••/t•

 3.      On 6 July 1978, the Commission presented to the Council the
 Supplementary Memorandum on sea-fishing in the context of the renewal
 of the Lom£ Convention ( COM ( 78 ) 323 final = 1 / 207/ 78 ( ACP 34 )). It
sets out in that memorandum its interest in strengthening relations
between the EEC and the ACP in the fisheries field , in the expectation
notably of a general willingness on the part of the ACP States to nego
tiate with'the Community, the principles that have emerged from the
Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea being respected
by both sides .
        It is therefore proposed that the Council authorise the Commission
to open negotiations in accordance with directives , which are based on
the principles underlying the directives already adopted , these principles
being restated in the above memorandum .     As things stand at present , the
Commission feels that negotiations should first be undertaken with the
following countries : Mauritius , Seychelles , Sao Tome and Principe , Congo
( Brazzaville ), Gabon , Guinea , Angola and Tunisia .
 ---pagebreak---       Council decision authorizing the Commission to negotiate fisheries
agreements with developing countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to the Recommendation from the Commission ,
Whereas on 27 June and 7 December 1977 the Council authorized the Commis
sion to open and continue negotiations for the conclusion of
fisheries agreements with Guinea-Bissau , Senegal , Mauritania and Cape Verde ;
Whereas other developing countries to which the Community does not offer
reciprocity of fishing rights have shown their interest in such agreements ;
whereas the negotiating situation vis - £ - v1s all those countries is broadly
identical ; whereas consequently the directives for the negotiations with
the above West African countries constitute a valid basis for the negotia
tions with the other developing countries .
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS :
                             Sole Article
        The Commission is hereby authorized to open , in accordance with
the directives annexed hereto , negotiations for fisheries agreements
with coastal developing countries , provided there is proven interest
in fishing in those countries' fishing zones .
        The Commission shall conduct the negotiations , assisted by the
representatives of the Member States .
                                                 Done at ,
                                                 For the Council
 ---pagebreak---                                    ANNEX
                   Supplementary negotiating directives
1m         The principal objectives of the Community in the negotiations to
be conducted with developing countries .,, are as follows :
( a ) to maintain current fishing rights under agreements concluded by the
       Member States ;
( b ) to restore other traditional Community fishing activities ;
( c ) to acquire additional access rights ,
thereby improving the overall fishery possibilities for Community vessels .
2.          It is understood that total vessel capacity for all the zones con
cerned , including the zone referred to in the negotiating directives of
7 December 1977 ( S / 1962/ 77 ), will not significantly exceed the order of
magnitude of 80 000 gross registered tons , this being the volume already
established in those directives .
 3.         The Community 's overall approach shall be that laid down in the
negotiating directives, of 7 December 1977 .       The Commission will also
 take account of the results of deliberations in the Council in the field
of sea-fishing in the context of the renewal of the Lom4 Convention
 ( 1 / 207/ 78 ( ACP 34 )).
                    y
 A.         As regards financial compensation in the case of agreements where
 the Community does not offer reciprocity , the principles set out in para
 graph 6 of the negotiating directives of 7 December 1977 shall remain
 valid ; it is stressed nevertheless that the negotiations must take account ;
 in respect of compensation , of the most economical fishing possibilities
 both for Community fishermen and for the Community itself and of the Com
 munity 's interest in maintaining or establishing relations in the matter
 of fisheries with the country in ,quest ion .
  5.        As a first step , negotiations are foreseen with Mauritius , Seychelles ,
  Sao Tome e Principe , Congo , Gabon , Guinea , Angola and Tunisia .

            Recommendation for a
            COUNCIL DECISION
            abrogating Decision 2013/319/EU on the existence of an excessive deficit in Malta

               Recommendation for a

               COUNCIL DECISION

               abrogating Decision 2013/319/EU on the existence of an excessive deficit in Malta

               THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 126(12) thereof,

               Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,

               Whereas:

               (1)By Council Decision 2013/319/EU of 21 June 2013
                  1
               , following a recommendation from the Commission, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Malta. The Council noted that the general government deficit in Malta had reached 3.3% of GDP in 2012, thus exceeding the 3% of GDP Treaty reference value, while general government gross debt was above the 60% of GDP Treaty reference value and Malta did not make sufficient progress towards compliance with the debt reduction benchmark, in line with the requirements of the transition period
                  2
                following the correction of its excessive deficit in 2012
                  3
               .

               (2)On 21 June 2013, in accordance with Article 126(7) TFEU and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure
                  4
               , the Council, based on a recommendation from the Commission, addressed a recommendation to Malta with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end by 2014 at the latest. The recommendation was made public.

               (3)In accordance with Article 4 of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaties, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of this Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 of 25 May 2009 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community
                  5
               .

               (4)The Council should take a decision to abrogate a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit on the basis of notified data. Moreover, a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit should be abrogated only if (i) the Commission forecasts indicate that the deficit will not exceed the 3% of GDP threshold over the forecast horizon
                  6
               ; and (ii) the debt ratio fulfils the forward-looking element of the debt benchmark.

               (5)Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2009, following the April 2015 notification by Malta, the 2015 Stability Programme and the Commission 2015 spring forecast, the following conclusions are warranted:

               –After peaking at 3.6% of GDP in 2012, the general government deficit was reduced to 2.6% of GDP in 2013 and reached 2.1% of GDP in 2014. The deficit reduction in 2014 was mainly driven by an improvement in the cyclical conditions and budget measures which led to a significant increase in current revenues (by 2.5% of GDP) which more than offset the increase in current expenditure (by 0.8% of GDP) and by net capital expenditure (by 0.1% of GDP) that is explained by a higher absorption rate of EU funds.

               –The stability programme for 2015-18, submitted by the Maltese government on 30 April 2015, plans the deficit to decline to 1.6% of GDP in 2015 and to 1.1% of GDP in 2016. The Commission 2015 spring forecast projects a deficit of 1.8% of GDP in 2015 and 1.5% of GDP in 2016. Thus, the deficit is set to remain below the Treaty reference value of 3% of GDP over the forecast horizon.

               –The structural balance, which is the general government balance adjusted for the economic cycle and net of one-off and other temporary measures, improved by 1.3% of GDP over the period 2013-2014.

               –The debt-to-GDP ratio increased to 69.2% of GDP in 2013, from 67.4% of GDP in 2012, on account of a temporary debt-increasing stock-flow adjustment. It then decreased to 68.0% of GDP in 2014. The gross government debt is forecast to continue decreasing to 65.4% of GDP in 2016 also due to the favourable macroeconomic scenario. In addition, compliance with the forward looking debt rule is ensured in 2014.

               (6)As from 2015, which is the year following the correction of the excessive deficit, Malta is subject to the preventive arm of the Stability and Growth Pact and should progress towards its medium-term objective at an appropriate pace, including respecting the expenditure benchmark, and comply with the debt criterion in accordance with Article 2(1a) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97. In this context, there appears to be a risk of some deviation from the required adjustment of 0.6% of GDP towards the medium-term objective in both 2015 and 2016. In 2015, the improvement in the structural balance is forecast to be 0.1% of GDP below the requirement. While the adjustment projected for 2016 is in line with the requirement, there is a risk of some deviation over 2015 and 2016 taken together. Therefore, further measures will be needed in 2015 and 2016.

               (7)In accordance with Article 126(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.

               (8)In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in Malta has been corrected and Decision 2013/319/EU should therefore be abrogated,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

               Article 1

               From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Malta has been corrected.

               Article 2

               Decision 2013/319/EU is hereby abrogated.

               Article 3

               This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Malta.

               Done at Brussels,

                     For the Council

                     (2)
                  Following the abrogation of the EDP in December 2012, in line with the Stability and Growth Pact, Malta benefited from a three-year transition period to comply with the debt reduction benchmark, starting in 2012. The requirements during the transition period are laid down in the second sub-paragraph of Article 2(1a) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 and further detailed in the "Specifications on the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact and Guidelines on the format and content of Stability and Convergence Programmes" of 3 September 2012 (See:
                     http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/economic_governance/sgp/pdf/coc/code_of_conduct_en.pdf). The Minimum Linear Structural Adjustment (MLSA) required for 2012 was equal to 0.4 pps of GDP, while the structural deficit worsened by ½ pp. of GDP in 2012.

                     (3)
                  The general government deficit and debt for 2012 were subsequently revised to currently 3.6% of GDP and 67.4% of GDP, respectively.

Having regard   to the   Cooperation Agreement      between the European Economic
Community and Algeria ,     signed at    Algiers on 26 April     1976 ,  hereinafter
referred to as the " Agreement ",
Whereas the Community and Algeria wish to strengthen still further their
relations   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 ;
whereas Article 53 of the          Agreement   provides   for  the   possibility  of
improvements in its terms ;
Whereas certain rules should be laid down to enable Algeria 's traditional
export trade with the Community to be maintained ,
Have decided to conclude a Protocol adapting certain provisions of               the
Agreement , and to this end have designated as their Plenipotentiaries :
The Council of the European Communities ,
The Government of the People 's Democratic Republic of Algeria ,

1.      Customs duties applicable   under the    Agreement  to   imports into the
Community of products listed in Annex A to this Protocol and originating in
Algeria shall be dismantled over the same periods and at the same rates as
provided in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal in respect of imports
into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 of the same products
originating in Spain or Portugal .         This provision shall be applied in
accordance with the rules hereinafter set out in this Article .
In the course of such dismantling ,     where the level of customs duties applied
to imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 originating
in Spain differs from that applied to imports originating in Portugal ,
products originating in Algeria shall be subject to the higher of the two
rates .
2.      Where the customs duty on a product listed in Annex A is lower for
Algeria than for Spain , Portugal or both , elimination of the duty shall
commence once the duty on that product from both Spair,      j Portugal has fallen
below that applied to imports originating in Algeria .
3.      The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply in accordance with the
special conditions concerning tariff reductions laid down in Article 19 of
the Agreement .
4.      Should the Community discover , in the light of an annual review of trade
flows which it shall carry out , that the volume of imports of a product listed
in Annex A threatens to cause difficulties on the Community market , it may
establish a reference quantity for that product .
Should the volume of imports of one of these products exceed the reference
quantity , the Community, having regard to an annual review of trade flows
which it shall carry out ,      may make the product in question subject to a
Community tariff quota , the volume of which shall be equal to the reference
quantity . Once the volume of imports of such products exceeds the qi ca , the
Community shall apply the customs duties resulting from the Agreement .

The situation shall be reviewed before 1 January 1990 ."

                    ( to be annexed to the Additional Protocol )
To avoid disturbance on the Community market , the Contracting Parties agree to
meet within an Advisory Working Party to examine the situation on the potato
markets ( state of harvests and supply situation ). The members of this Working
Party will    be designated by the Governments of the main exporting and
importing countries .
The Working Party ,    chaired by the Commission , would meet at least three times
a year and in particular before sowing takes place in the exporting countries
and at the time of deliveries .
These meetings would enable the main potato-exporting countries to be informed
both about the receiving markets and about competing markets , and their
purpose could be to draw up indicative export timetables designed to prevent
deliveries being concentrated around sensitive periods for the Community
market .

Additional Protocol adapting the Cooperation Agreement between the European
Economic Community and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
The European Economic Community of the one part ,
and
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan of the other part ,
Having   regard  to  the  Cooperation Agreement  between     the European  Economic
Community and    the  Hashemite Kingdom of   Jordan ,   signed at Brussels   on  18
January 1977 , hereinafter referred to as the " Agreement ",
Considering   that the Community and Jordan wish      to strengthen still   further
their relations 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 , and that Article 43 of the Agreement provides for the possibility of
improvements in its terms ,
Considering that certain rules should be foreseen to enable the traditional
export trade of Jordan with the Community to be maintained ,
Have accordingly decided to conclude a Protocol adapting certain provisions of
the Agreement , and to this end have designated as their Plenipotentiaries :
The Council of the European Communities ,
Tile Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan ,
Who , having exchanged their Full Powers , found in good and due form ,
Have agreed as follows :
                                                                          рЪ

1.      Customs duties applicable under the Agreement to imports into the
Community of products originating in Jordan covered by the Agreement and

Spain and Portugal in respect of imports into the Community as constituted on
31 December 1985 of the same products from Spain and Portugal . This provision
shall be applied    in accordance with the rules hereinafter set out in      this
arti c le .
        In the course of this progressive elimination of     customs  duties and
where the level of customs duty in force for imports into the Community as
constituted on 31 December 1985 from Spain differs from that in force for
Portugal , products originating in Jordan shall be subject to the higher of the
two rates .
2.      Where the customs duty on a product is lower for Jordan than for Spain ,
Portugal or both , elimination of the duty shall commence once the duty on the
product from both Spain and Portugal has fallen below that applying to Imports
originating in Jordan .
3.      For the products   listed  in Annex A , the Community may    establish  a
reference quantity i.f it discovers , in the light of an annual review of trade
flows which it shall carry out , that the volume of imports threatens to cause
difficulties on the Community market .
4.      Should the volume of imports of one of these products exceed the
reference quantity , the Community , having regard to the annual review of trade
flows which it shall carry out , may make the product in question subject to a
Community tariff quota , the volume of wtiich shall be equal to the reference
quantity . For quantities of the product imported in excess of the quota the
Community will apply the customs duty prevailing under the Agreement .
