THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

(4)

The ICCO Council is to adopt a decision on the extension of the Agreement following its 103rd session on 22 and 23 April 2021.

It is in the interests of the Union that the Agreement be extended and that the Union remain a party to it, considering the importance of the cocoa sector for a number of Member States and for the economy of the Union.
