EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order declares the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States and the Republic of Chile, signed on 18 November 2002, to be a Community Treaty as defined in section 1(2) of the European Communities Act 1972. The Agreement provides a framework for regular political dialogue between the parties; the progressive and reciprocal liberalisation of trade in goods; and contains provisions concerning, inter alia, the strengthening of economic, cultural, scientific and social co-operation. 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 provide for the implementation of treaties so specified.
