Declaration made upon accession:
"In view of the fact that the European Community is a Contracting Party of the Inter-national Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, the Argentine Republic wishes to reiterate its rejection of the plan to consider the Falkland Islands, Georgias del Sur and Sandwich del Sur, which form an integral part of its national territory, as countries and territories covered by Part Four of the Treaty Establishing the European Community, to be known in future as the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and by the Decisions of the Association of Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union. The Argentine Republic has expressed this point of view repeatedly since 1972, when, on the occasion of the signing of the Treaty Concerning the Accession of the Unit-ed Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the European Communities, it submitted EEC Note No. 43 of 25 July that year to the Secretary-General of the Council. More recent submissions include EEC Notes Nos. 115, 116 and 117 of 13 December 2007, addressed respectively to the European Commission, the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Council of the European Union, on the occasion of the signing of the Treaty of Lisbon; and EEC Note No. 116 of 26 November 2008, addressed to the President of the European Commission, when the “Green Book—Future Relations between the EU and Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs)” was posted on the European Union website, along with the accompanying working paper produced by the staff of the Commission.
The Argentine Republic also recalls that the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolutions 2065 (XX), 3160 (XXVIII), 31/49, 37/9, 38/12, 39/6, 40/21, 41/40, 42/19 and 43/25, in which the existence of the sovereignty dispute referred to as “The Question of the Falkland Islands” is recognized, and the Governments of the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are urged to resume negotiations in order to find as soon as possible a peaceful and lasting solution to the dispute. Moreover, the Special Committee on Decolonization of the United Nations has repeatedly affirmed this view since 1989, most recently through the resolution adopted on 12 June 2008. Also, the General Assembly of the Organization of American States adopted, on 3 June 2008, a new pronouncement on the issue in similar terms.
Moreover, the fact that the so-called “British Antarctic Territory” is included on the list of overseas countries and territories of the European Union in no way affects the rights of the Argentine Republic over the Argentine Antarctic sector. On this point, we would draw attention to the provisions of Article IV of the Antarctic Treaty, to which both the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are Parties."
