In a letter addressed to the President of the European Parliament dated 24 July 1995 the Council presented to Parliament the draft decision concluding the agreement, while at the same time bringing to its attention that doubts still remained as to the inclusion of certain articles in the legal basis of the agreement. The Council reserved the right to determine the appropriate legal basis in a definitive manner at some later stage and undertook to inform Parliament of this in good time. Nevertheless, it was sending the text of the agreement to Parliament in order that the latter might carry out its work.
As the wording stood at present, the legal basis of the agreement was as follows:
- Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty;
- Articles 54 (second paragraph) and 57 (second paragraph) of the EC Treaty (final sentence);
- Articles 66, 73c (second paragraph) of the EC Treaty;
- Articles 75 and 84 (second paragraph) of the EC Treaty;
- Articles 99, 100, 100a, 113 and 235, in conjunction with Article 228 (second and third paragraphs, second line) of the EC Treaty;
- Article 101 of the EURATOM Treaty.
