Ljubljana, 23 July 1997
    Minister,
    I have the honour to submit to the consideration of your Excellency the proposal of the Portuguese Government to modify the Agreement concerning Cooperation in Maritime Transports which was concluded between Portugal and the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
    The present proposal of modification has the purpose of conforming the Agreement with the new political reality which emerged from the constitution of the new States who succeeded to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, from which originated, amongst others, the Republic of Slovenia, and also with the fundamental principles which rule over the European Union of whom Portugal is a Member-State, namely the provisions laid down in Regulation EEC n° 4055/86, of the 22 of December 1986, which stipulate the principle of free movement of services in maritime transports between Member States and third countries.
    In terms of the present proposal, article 3° of the Agreement concluded between the Portuguese Republic and the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia would have the following wording:

Article 3°

1.
    2. The provisions laid down in this article shall not affect the application of the principle of free movement of services to maritime transports which are carried out between ports of Contracting States or between their ports and those of third countries.
    I have the further honour to propose that, if acceptable to your Excellency, this note together with your Excellency’s confirming reply, shall constitute a Protocol modifying the Agreement concluded between the Government of the Portuguese Republic and the Government of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, concerning Cooperation in Maritime Transports, which shall enter into force as soon as essential procedures are fulfilled in both countries.
    Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Álvaro Mendonça e Moura, (s)
Ambassador
