   (2012/352/EU)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
   Having regard to the Internal agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (2), was first amended in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005 (3) and was amended for the second time in Ouagadougou on 22 June 2010 (4) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’). The second amendment has been provisionally applied since 31 October 2010.

               (2)

               Article 94 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement stipulates that any request for accession by a State is to be presented to, and approved by, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers.

               (3)

               On 20 March 2012, the Republic of South Sudan presented a request for accession in accordance with Article 94 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and a request for observer status, enabling it to participate in the joint institutions set up by that Agreement, until the accession procedure is completed.

               (6)
