ON THE APPLICATION FOR ACCESSION TO
THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
BY THE HELLENIC REPUBLIC
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to Article 98 of the Treaty establishing the
European Coal and Steel Community, Article 237 of the Treaty
establishing the European Economic Community and Article 205
of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Whereas the Hellenic Republic has applied to become a member
of these Communities;
Whereas in its Opinion of 29 January 1976 the Commission has
already been able to express its views on certain essential
aspects of the problems arising in connection with this
application;
Whereas the terms for the admission of the Hellenic Republic
and the adjustments to the Treaties necessitated by its
accession have been negotiated in a Conference between the
Communities and the applicant State; whereas singleness of
Community representation was ensured with due regard for the
institutional dialogue provided for by the Treaties;
Whereas, on the completion of these negotiations, it is
apparent that the provisions so agreed are fair and proper;
whereas, this being so, the Community's enlargement, while
preserving its internal cohesion and dynamism, will enable
it to take a fuller part in the development of international
relations; Whereas in joining the Communities the applicant State
accepts without reserve the Treaties and their political
objectives, all decisions taken since their entry into force,
and the action that has been agreed in respect of the
development and reinforcement of the Communities;
Whereas it is an essential feature of the legal system set
up by the Treaties establishing the Communities that certain
of their provisions and certain acts of the Community
institutions are directly applicable, thaty law
takes precedence over any national provisions conflicting
with it, and that procedures exist for ensuring the uniform
interpretation of this law; whereas accession to the Communities
entails recognition of the binding force of these rules,
observance of which is indispensable to guarantee the
effectiveness and unity of Community law;
Whereas the principles of pluralist democracy and respect
for human rights form part of the common heritage of the
peoples of the States brought together in the European
Communities and are therefore essential elements of membership
of the said Communities;
Whereas enlargement of the Communities through the accession
of the Hellenic Republic will help to preserve and strengthen
peace and liberty in Europe,
HEREBY DELIVERS A FAVOURABLE OPINION
on the accession to the European Communities of the Hellenic
Republic.
This opinion is addressed to the Council.
