Article 1
The position to be taken, on behalf of the Union, within the International Sugar Council shall be to vote in favour of the extension of the International Sugar Agreement 1992 for a further period of up to two years, up to 31 December 2021.
However, unless the International Sugar Council approves the Union's proposal to amend the Agreement as regards its rules on financial contribution to the International Sugar Organization, the Commission shall prevent a decision from being taken by consensus concerning the extension of the International Sugar Agreement 1992 and shall abstain from any subsequent vote on that matter.
