On 11 November 2009, the European Commission adopted the proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of a protocol to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union.
On the same day, the Commission presented a proposal for a Decision on the signature, on behalf of the European Community, of this Protocol. Its content is identical to that of this present proposal (please refer to the summary of the initial proposal).
With the present proposal, the Commission proposes that the Council authorises the signature and the provisional application, on behalf of the European Community, of the Protocol to the agreement between the European Union and Tunisia.
