Made

Coming into force in accordance with Article 1
At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 28th day of June 1995
Present,
The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council
Whereas a draft of this Order has been laid before Parliament in accordance with section 1 of the European Communities Act 1972(1) and has been approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament:
Now, therefore, Her Majesty, in exercise of the powers conferred on Her by section 1(3) of the European Communities Act 1972 or otherwise in Her Majesty vested, is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:-
1. This Order may be cited as the European Communities (Definition of Treaties) (Partnership and Co-operation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States and the Russian Federation) Order 1995. It shall come into operation in respect of the treaty specified in the Schedule to this Order on the date on which the Agreement comes into force for the United Kingdom. This date will be notified in the London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes.
2. The treaty specified in the Schedule to this Order is to be regarded as a Community Treaty as defined in section 1(2) of the European Communities Act 1972.
N.H. Nicholls
Clerk of the Privy Council
Partnership and Co-operation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States and the Russian Federation(2).
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order declares the Partnership and Co-operation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States and the Russian Federation signed on 24 June 1994 by the Communities and the Member States to be a Community Treaty as defined in section 1(2) of the European Communities Act 1972. The Agreement establishes a partnership which has as one objective the provision of a framework for political dialogue between the Parties. Other objectives include the promotion of trade and investment, supporting democracy and a market economy in Russia and creating conditions for a future free trade area between the Community and Russia. The principal effect of declaring this Agreement to be a Community Treaty as so defined is to bring into play in relation to it the provisions of section 2 of the European Communities Act 1972 which provides for the implementation of treaties so specified.
1972 c. 68; section 1(2) was amended by the European Union (Accessions) Act 1994 c. 38.
Cm 2701.
