The International Practice of the European Communities : Current Survey

• Emmert, Frank 1

Abstract

Each year the EJIL will publish a survey of international agreements concluded by the European Communities with third states or with international organizations. The survey further includes decisions of international bodies such as Customs Cooperation Committees and their implementation in Community law. Finally it covers all binding unilateral acts of the Community with direct impact on their foreign relations, such as unilateral modifications of the customs regimes with specified third states. Not included are modifications of purely internal legislation, even if they affect external relations indirectly, e.g. modifications of the CCT rules on classification, valuation and origin of goods.

The material is structured as follows:


I. Agreements with EFTA Countries and Unilateral Modifications of the Special Trade Regimes with these Countries

II. Agreements with ACP Countries and with OCT Territories and Unilateral Modifications of the Special Trade Regimes with these Countries

III. Agreements with Associated Countries and Unilateral Modifications of the Special Trade Regimes with these Countries

IV. Agreements with State-Trading Countries other than Modifications of the CCT and the Customs Regime and Unilateral Acts Referring to these Countries

V. Multilateral Conventions and Agreements with NGOs

VI. Agreements with Countries not Enjoying General Preferential Status and Unilateral Modifications of the EC Customs Regime

VII. Community Acts Concerning German Unification

VIII. Community Acts Concerning the Gulf Crisis
