In such event Article 1(2) to (4) shall become applicable from the date of entry into force of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
2. The conditions of admission and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the Union is founded, entailed by such admission, which will apply from the date of accession until the date of entry into force of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, are set out in the Act annexed to this Treaty. The provisions of that Act shall form an integral part of this Treaty.
3. In the event that the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe enters into force after accession, the Protocol referred to in Article 1(3) shall replace the Act referred to in Article 2(2) on the date of entry into force of the said Treaty. In such event, the provisions of the aforementioned Protocol shall not be considered as creating a new legal effect, but as preserving, under the conditions laid down in the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community and that Protocol, the legal effects which have already been created by the provisions of the Act referred to in Article 2(2).
Acts adopted prior to the entry into force of the Protocol referred to in Article 1(3) on the basis of this Treaty or the Act referred to in paragraph 2 shall remain in force and their legal effects shall be preserved until those acts are amended or repealed.
