THE INTERNATIONAL COFFEE COUNCIL
RESOLVES:
1.
That the International Coffee Agreement 1976 shall be extended
to 30 September 1983, provided that any proposals received from Members
#
by 31 January 1982 for modifications to the Agreement to be applied
under any extension of the Agreement beyond 1 October 1983, shall have
been decided upon by the Council prior to 1 July 1982.
2. That the International Coffee Agreement 1976 as extended in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Resolution shall remain in force
among those Contracting Parties to the Agreement which have notified their
acceptance of such extension to the Secretary-General of the United Nations
by 30 September 1982, if on that date such Contracting Parties represent
at least twenty exporting Members holding a majority of the votes of the
exporting Members and at least ten importing Members holding a majority
of the votes of the importing Members. The votes for this purpose shall
be distributed as shown in the Annex to this Resolution.
3. That a notification by a Contracting Party containing an undertaking to
apply provisionally the Agreement as hereby extended which is received by
the Secretary-General of the United Nations not later than 30 September 1982,
shall be regarded as equal in effect to a notification of acceptance of the
International Coffee Agreement 1976 as Extended. Such Contracting Party
shall enjoy all the rights and assume all the obligations of a Member. How-
ever, if formal notification of acceptance has not been received by the
Secretary-General of the United Nations by 31 March 1983 or such later date
as the Council may determine, such Contracting Party shall as of that date
cease to participate in the Agreement.
