THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Whereas:
(1) The International Sugar Agreement, 1992 (‘the Agreement’) was concluded by the Union by means of Council Decision 92/580/EEC(1) and entered into force on 1 January 1993. The Agreement was initially concluded for a period of three years.
(2) Pursuant to Article 45(2) of the Agreement, the International Sugar Council is able to extend the Agreement for successive periods, not exceeding two years on each occasion. Since its conclusion, the Agreement has regularly been extended for further periods of two years. The Agreement was last extended on 10 July 2019 and remains in force until 31 December 2021.
(3) Article 41 of the Agreement states that the Agreement is open for accession by the Governments of all States in accordance with the conditions established by the International Sugar Council.
(4) On 2 October 2020 the United Kingdom formally applied for accession to the Agreement as from 1 January 2021.
(5) During the 57th session of the International Sugar Council, which is scheduled to take place on 27 November 2020, the International Sugar Council is set to establish the conditions for the accession of the United Kingdom to the Agreement.
(6) It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the International Sugar Council.
(7) The United Kingdom is a major producer of sugar. Approving the accession of the United Kingdom to the Agreement is in the interest of the Union.
