Expl= anation:

When combined with Article 187, this Article gives the Commission powers over proposal on the new rules binding = the ass= ociation of the countries and territories with the Community. The existing Arti= cle 186 states that “Subject to the provisions relating to public health, public security or public poli= cy, freedom of movement within Member States for workers from the countries and territories, and within the countries and territories for workers from Memb= er States, shall be governed by agreements to be concluded subsequently with t= he unanimous approval of Member States.”

 

The Lisbon Treaty replaces "shall be governe= d by agreements to be concluded subsequently with the unanimous approval of Memb= er States" with "shall be regulated by acts adopted in accordance wi= th Article 187". In Article 187, the Commission is given a monopoly over making new legislative proposals relating to overs= eas countries.
