Article 3
The French Republic shall keep the Commission regularly informed of the negotiations with the United Kingdom on the agreement and, where appropriate, invite the Commission to participate as an observer. Upon completion of the negotiations, the French Republic shall submit the resulting draft agreement to the Commission. The Commission shall immediately inform the European Parliament and the Council of that resulting draft agreement. Within one month from the submission of the draft agreement to the Commission, the Commission shall adopt a decision as to whether the conditions set out in Article 2 are fulfilled. The Commission shall inform the European Parliament and the Council of the adoption of such decision. Where the Commission decides that those conditions are fulfilled, the French Republic may sign and conclude the corresponding agreement. The French Republic shall provide a copy of the signed agreement to the Commission within one month of its entry into force, or, where the agreement is to be applied provisionally, within one month of the beginning of its provisional application.
