Before the Council of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the "Council") decides on a request made by Ireland or the United Kingdom on the basis of Article 4 of the Schengen Protocol, consultations shall take place in accordance with Article 4 of the other Agreement in the Mixed Committee established pursuant to Article 3 of that Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Mixed Committee").

2. Before the Council decides to fix the date on which provisions of the Schengen acquis as listed in Annex A to the other Agreement which have already been put into effect for other Member States of the European Union and for Iceland and Norway will be put into effect for Ireland and the United Kingdom or for either of these latter two States, consultations shall take place in accordance with Article 4 of the other Agreement in the Mixed Committee.

3. Any notification by Ireland or the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 5 of the Schengen Protocol shall also be conveyed to Iceland and Norway within the Mixed Committee.

2. Once particular provisions of the Schengen acquis as listed in Annex A to the other Agreement, or of acts or measures amending or building upon those provisions become applicable to Ireland and the United Kingdom or to either of these two States, this shall create rights and obligations between, on the one hand, Ireland and the United Kingdom or either of them, as the case may be, and, on the other hand, Iceland and Norway, provided that those particular provisions or acts or measures already apply to the latter two States.

Article 4

This Agreement shall enter into force one month following the day on which the Secretary-General of the Council, who shall act as its depositary, has established that all formal requirements concerning the expression of the consent by or on behalf of the Parties to this Agreement to be bound to it have been fulfilled.

Article 5

This Agreement may be denounced by Iceland or by Norway or by a decision of the Council, acting unanimously. Such denunciation shall be notified to the depositary. It shall take effect six months after notification.

Termination of the other Agreement pursuant to Article 8(4) or Article 11(3) thereof shall also have the effect of terminating this Agreement.

Article 6

The consequences of denunication of this Agreement by Iceland or Norway shall be the subject of an agreement between the remaining Parties and the Party which has denounced this Agreement. If no agreement can be reached, the Council shall decide after consultation of the remaining associated Contracting Party on the necessary measures. However, these measures shall be binding upon that Party only if they are accepted by it.
