EFTA-TURKEY FREE-TRADE AREA
Biennial Report on the Operation of the Agreement
Communication from the Parties
The report below presents the information received from the European Free Trade
Association and the Permanent Mission of Turkey, dated 28 May 1999.  It is organized in accordance
to the Standard Format for Information on Regional Trade Agreements (WT/REG/W/6).
_______________
The Agreement between the States of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and
Turkey was examined in accordance with Article XXIV of GATT.1
In accordance with the guidelines approved by the Council For Trade in Goods,2 as
recommended by the Committee on Regional Trade Agreements,3 and the reporting schedule
established by the WTO Secretariat,4 the Parties to the Agreement establishing the Free-Trade Area
(FTA) between the EFTA States and Turkey herewith provide their biennial report on the operation of
the FTA since 1994.  The biennial report outlines the major developments of the FTA and the trade
relations between the EFTA States and Turkey since the adoption of the report of the Working Party.
Main Developments
The Parties have paid considerable attentio n to updating and upgrading of the Agreement.
The Joint Committee has, since the entry into force of the Agreement, adopted a number of JointCommittee Decisions deleting, amending or introducing new provisions.  For further details, see
Annex 1.  The reason for updating the Agreement has been to clean the text so that it reflects the
current state of play, making it more user-friendly for economic operators.
The aim of upgrading the Agreement has been to make amendments in the light of
developments at the regional and/or international trade scene such as the introduction of "new"
WTO rules.  The Agreement has been upgraded in the fields of rules of origin and methods of
administrative co-operation, technical regulations and protection of intellectual property.

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE AGREEMENT
1. Membership and Dates of Signature, Ratification and Entry into Force
The Agreement establishing a Free-Trade Area between the EFTA States and Turkey was
signed on 10 December 1991.  The Agreement has been in force since April 1992 (September 1992
for Iceland).  Austria, Finland and Sweden ceased to  be Parties to the FTA, following their withdrawal
from the Stockholm Convention and subsequent accession to the European Union on 1 January 1995.
4. Trade Data
According to EFTA statistics, trade between the EFTA States and Turkey has experienced
continuous growth since 1994.  Turkey is one of EFTA's most important trading partners.  Total tradeincreased by 116.2 per cent in the period from 1994 to 1997;  EFTA imports from Turkey increased
by 41.1 per cent and EFTA exports to Turkey increased by 157.1 per cent in the same period.  The
highest growth rate was observed in 1994/95 with an increase of 69.6 per cent - EFTA imports
increased by 23.9 per cent and EFTA exports by 94.4 per cent.  The trend was more modest in
1995/96 and 1996/97 with an average trade growth rate of 14.4 and 11.4 per cent, respectively.
The trade balance between the two was in favour of the EFTA States in the period 1994 to
1997.  In 1997, exports amounted to 1,178,5 million US dollars, when the EFTA States imported
goods from Turkey worth approximately 352 million US dollars.
Among the EFTA States, Switzerland is the largest trading partner of Turkey.  In 1997,
Switzerland accounted for 80.2 per cent of the trade, followed by Norway with 19.5 per cent and
Iceland with 0.3 per cent.
There was no trade in products covered by Annex I of the Agreement (products excluded
from the scope).
The share of trade in agricultural products was 8.8 per cent of total trade in 1997.  The trade
in agricultural products covered under the Agreement proper and the bilateral arrangement was
7.9.9 per cent to total trade agricultural products in 1997 between the EFTA States and Turkey.
In the period 1994 to 1997, total EFTA trade increased by 18.1 per cent or in absolute terms
from 203,495 million US dollars to 240,337 million US dollars.  The growth rate fluctuated
considerably from an increase of 17.8 per cent in 1994/95, down to 3.1 per cent in 1995/96 and further
down to –2.8 per cent in 1996/97.  The development of imports and exports followed the same trend.
In the period 1994 to 1997, the share of EFTA trade with Turkey of total EFTA trade
increased from 0.3 per cent to 0.6 per cent.  With regard to other FTA partner countries, the share
increased slightly from 2.3 per cent to 2.9 per cent, while for the 15 EU countries the share fell from
70.9 per cent to 69.7 per cent.  For the other countries the share increased slightly from 26 per cent to
                                                     
5 Copies of the updated loose-leaf version of the Agreement have been made available to the
WTO Secretariat.  Interested delegations may consult them by contacting the WTO Secretariat (Room 3006) or

26.6 per cent.  In the period 1994 to 1997, the share of Turkey's trade with the EFTA countries of its
total trade increased from 2 per cent in 1994 to 2.3 per cent in 1997.
Detailed trade data can be found in Annex 2.
II. TRADE PROVISIONS
1. Import Restrictions2. Export Restrictions
Both the EFTA States and Turkey have dismantled and/or abolished customs duties and other
restrictions to trade in accordance with the relevant  timetable of the Agreement such as the abolition
of the Mass Housing Fund by Turkey, and full tariff dismantling by Turkey for Annex II products
(fish and other marine products) by 1995.  Turkey phased out all the remaining customs duties forproducts covered by the Agreement between Turkey and the European Coal and Steel Community
(ECSC) on 1 January 1999, and granted identical pr eferences for ECSC products originating in an
EFTA State and imported into Turkey.  The Parties have also abolished certain exceptions for other
trade restrictions, such as the Icelandic, Liechtenstein/Swiss and Turkish customs duties of a fiscal
nature.  It should be noted that these duties were abolished on a MFN basis.  Furthermore, the EFTAStates have removed their exceptions for the abolition of quantitative export and import restrictions on
certain products.
3. Rules of Origin
Turkey is expected to accede to the system of pan-European cumulation in the course of
1999.  A Joint Committee Decision on a new Protocol B was adopted in 1998 containing the new
system of pan-European rules of origin, thus introducing diagonal cumulation among European
countries interlinked with a network of free trade agreements.  The entry into force of the Decision is
pending national acceptance.
4. Standards
A Joint Committee Decision amending the provisions on technical regulations was adopted in
February 1998.  The "old" information procedure on draft technical regulations was replaced with a
reference to the notification procedure under the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade.
Furthermore, a clause on co-operation and consultation was introduced.  The entry into force of theDecision is pending national acceptances.
III. GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT
5. Institutional Framework
A Joint EFTA-Turkey Committee has been established under the Agreement.  The aim of the
Joint Committee is to supervise the administer the implementation of the Agreement as well as review
the possibility of further removal of obstacles to  trade between the Parties.  The Joint Committee
adopted its rules of procedure in November 1992, and it is assisted by expert groups, in particular byWT/REG86/R/B/1
G/L/349
Page 4
the Sub-Committee on Customs and Origin Matters.  Other expert groups can be convened, as agreed.
Four meetings of the Joint Committee have taken place since 1992.6
IV. OTHER

adopted in February 1998.  The provisions of the Agreement was adjusted to take account of the rules
of the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.  Moreover, the
level of protection was strengthened in areas such as patent protection and trademark protection.  The
entry into force of the Decision is pending national acceptances.
