f1: Cmnd 5876; OJ C 29, 9.2.1976, p 1-17. The Convention Setting up a European University Institute (“the Convention”) was signed by its original six members – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – on 19 April 1972. The United Kingdom became a Contracting State to the Convention on 24 February 1975. The European Communities (Definition of Treaties) Order 1975 (S.I. 1975/408) specified the Convention as an “EU Treaty” as defined in section 1 of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68) and was revoked by the European Union (Definition of Treaties) (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1012) which came into force on IP completion day (31 December 2020). The relevant version of the Convention is that in force immediately before exit day.
