The collection thus fills a gap in European bibliography and gives the reader an idea of the breadth and diversity of the external activity of the Communities in the areas covered by the Treaties. By reason of the scale of their economic and commercial capacity the European Communities have become an important partner on the world scene. Their activity is carried on within both a multilateral and a bilateral framework. Developments in these two areas have been many and real and have led the Communities to conclude a large number of agreements sometimes varying considerably in title and content but all bearing witness to the outward-looking attitude of the European Institutions. The collection brings together agreements concluded by the European Communities with non-member States or with other bodies governed by international law, particularly international organizations. For the purposes of this collection, the word 'agreement' means an agreement governed by international law, whether it is contained in a single instrument or in two or more related instruments, and whatever particular title it may have. The collection includes the agreements to which one or other of the three European Communities (EEC — Euratom — ECSC), as such, is a contracting party, as well as certain related agreements. It also includes the agreements relating to products within the province of the European Coal and Steel Community Treaty concluded only by the Member States of that Community. Agreements concluded under specific provisions of the General Agree• ment on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) or resulting from multilateral conferences held within the GATT framework, concerning tariff con- cessions in particular, are not included in the collection but are published elsewhere ('). The collection gives the full texts of the agreements and of the Com• munity acts concluding them. The agreements are divided into bilateral agreements and multilateral agreements in the following order: European Economic Community (EEC), European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). Bilateral agreements concluded with non-member countries are classified by continent and by country in an order based on a numerical code used by the Communities so as to ensure concordance of the six different language versions of the publication. Bilateral agreements concluded with international organizations and multilateral agreements are classified in chronological order. The collection comprises five basic volumes containing the texts of all the agreements in force on 31 December 1975. Supplements to these volumes will be published each year. The basic volumes are the following: — Volume 1 : Bilateral agreements concluded by the EEC with European countries; — Volume 2: Bilateral agreements concluded by the EEC with European countries (continued); — Volume 3 : Bilateral agreements concluded by the EEC with European countries (continued); — Volume 4:—Bilateral agreements concluded. by the EEC with countries in Asia, Africa and Americanerica ;; — Bilateral agreements concluded by the EEC with international organizations; — Volume 5: — Bilateral agreements concluded by Euratom; — Bilateral agreements concluded by the ECSC; — Multilateral agreements concluded by the EEC, Euratom and the ECSC. (!) 'General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade — Basic instruments and selected docu• ments* (4 basic volumes: 1952, 1955, 1958, 1969 with supplements from 1953) - pub• lished in French and English by 'the Contracting Parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade' — Geneva. iv Amendments made to the texts in the basic volumes before 31 December 1975 are referred to in footnotes or given after the text of the agreement concerned. To make for easier reading of the texts, some additional references are given in the footnotes. Basic information concerning each of the agree• ments is given in a summary table at the end of each section. The non-member countries and international organizations referred to are listed in alphabetical order at the end of the third and fourth volumes. A full list will be published at the end of the fifth volume. There will be a subject index covering all five volumes. The annual supplements will be designed along the same lines. Each supplement will include a list of the agreements which have expired and a list of those which have been extended during the preceding year. This collection is a documentation aid and does not engage the responsi• bility of the Institutions.
