THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the Council of Members of the International Olive Council during a future session thereof, or within the framework of a procedure for adoption of decisions by the Council of Members of the International Olive Council by way of exchange of correspondence, concerning the conditions for the accession of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015, is set out in the Annex.

Council Decision (EU) 2016/1892 of 10 October 2016 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015 (OJ L 293, 28.10.2016, p. 2 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2016/1892/oj).

(1) The International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015 (the Agreement) was signed on behalf of the Union in accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2016/1892Council Decision (EU) 2016/1892 of 10 October 2016 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015 (OJ L 293, 28.10.2016, p. 2 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2016/1892/oj). on 18 November 2016 , subject to its conclusion at a later date. The Agreement entered into force provisionally on 1 January 2017 in accordance with Article 31(2) thereof and was concluded by the Union by way of Council Decision (EU) 2019/848Council Decision (EU) 2019/848 of 17 May 2019 on the conclusion on behalf of the European Union of the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015 (OJ L 139, 27.5.2019, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2019/848/oj). .

(2) Pursuant to Article 29 of the Agreement, the Council of Members of the International Olive Council (the Council of Members) is to establish the conditions for the accession of a Government to the Agreement.

(3) The Islamic Republic of Pakistan has formally applied to accede to the Agreement. The Council of Members will therefore be invited, during a future session thereof or within the framework of a procedure for the adoption of decisions by the Council of Members by way of exchange of correspondence, to establish the conditions for the accession of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Agreement in respect of the participation shares in the International Olive Council (IOC) and the time limit for the deposit of the instrument of accession.

(4) Given that Pakistan is developing its olive sectors as regards consumption and intends to develop its production, its accession could under certain conditions reinforce the IOC, in particular as regards the achievement of uniformity in national and international legislation relating to the characteristics of olive products in order to prevent any obstacle to trade.

(5) It is therefore appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the Council of Members, as the decisions to be adopted to establish the conditions for the accession of Pakistan to the Agreement will have legal effects on the Union by impacting the decisional balance within the Council of Members where decisions are not adopted by consensus in accordance with Article 10(4) of the Agreement,

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Council Decision (EU) 2019/848 of 17 May 2019 on the conclusion on behalf of the European Union of the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015 (OJ L 139, 27.5.2019, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2019/848/oj).
