EFTA FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH
BULGARIA, HUNGARY, ISRAEL, POLAND, ROMANIA AND SLOVENIA
Background
1. Between December 1991 andMarch 1993 theEFTA States (Austria, Finland, Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Norway, Sweden andSwitzerland) concluded FreeTrade Agreements withTurkey,
Israel, Bulgaria, theformer Czech andSlovak Federal Republic1,Hungary, Poland andRomania.
Since thebeginning of1995, when Austria, Finland andSweden hadjoined theEuropean Union and
consequently withdrawn from theStockholm Convention, theremaining EFTA States (Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Norway andSwitzerland) signed inJune1995aFreeTrade Agreement withSlovenia.
Detailed information onthesignatures andonthedateofapplication oftheseagreements istobefound
atAnnex 1.
2. AlltheseAgreementshavebeennotifiedtoGATT/WTOunderArticleXXIV:7,andsubsequently
separate working parties were established toexamine theirconsistency withtherelevant provisions
oftheGeneral Agreement. TheWorking Parties ontheEFTA-Turkey FTAandEFTA-Czech Republic
FTAandEFTA-Slovak Republic FTAhaveconcluded theirwork (reports indocuments L/7336 and
L/7570. TheWorking Party ontheEFTA-Romania FTAhashadonemeeting andtheParties tothe
Agreement haveprovided responses tothequestions putforward bytheMembers oftheWorking Party
(indocuments L/7420 andAdd.1). None oftheother working parties havemet,buttheParties have
provided theirresponses tothequestions putforward (Bulgaria, L/7462; Poland L/7575, Israel L/7569,
Hungary WT/REG13/2. Noquestions havebeenputforward onEFTA-Slovenia Agreement.

succession totheEFTA-CSFR FreeTrade Agreement weresigned andthisformed thelegalbasis as
from19April 1993 forthecontinued application oftheAgreement between theEFTA States andthe
twosuccessor states, theCzech Republic andtheSlovak Republic intheform oftwoseparate, but
identical freetrade agreements.WT/REG12/2, WT/REG13/3,

RegionalTradeAgreementsinexaminingtheseAgreementandtogivetotheWTOMembersinformation
inaconcise andconsolidated form. Taking intoaccount thesimilarities ofalltheEFTA FTAs, this
noteishopefully acontribution towards streamlining oftheexamination process. Nevertheless, the
Parties totheFreeTrade Agreements recognize thateachoftheFTAs should beexamined onitsown
merits. Inthiscontext, thisnotealsohiglights themain differences between thevarious FTAs.
4. Theintention oftheParties totheAgreements under examination isnottopropose amerging
oftheexamination processes oftheseparate agreements, butrather toprovide, inaconsolidated and
structuredmanner,basicinformationandanswerstoquestionsputforwardpreviouslyinworkingparties.

Introduction
5. TheEFTAAgreementswereconcludedwiththeaimoffurtherdevelopingeconomicco-operation
andtraderelations between theEFTA States andcountries inCentral andEastEurope andof,interalia,
supportingtransitiontothemarketeconomyandtheintegrationofthesecountriesintotheworldeconomy
bycontributing tothecreation ofaEuropean-wide freetrade system. They areasymmetric innature,
assuring theCEECs atransitional period leading tofullfreetrade overareasonable period oftime.
TheEFTA countries haveeliminated inprinciple allobstacles ontrade upon entry intoforce ofthe
Agreements. Thisasymmetric approach wasdeemed politically justified inorder toallow eachofthese
economies intransition toadjust properly tothemarket economy. Theasymmetric element isalso
reflected intheformofunilateral transition periods bythepartner countries intheapplication ofcertain
provisions, which might otherwise bedifficult tocomply with(e.g.procurement, competition). A
special safeguards clause, arestructuring clause, allows theCentral andEastEuropean partner countries
toincrease theircustoms duties, asagreed intheFTAs, inexceptional casesandinsectors where serious
difficulties orsocial problems ariseduring theprocess ofrestructuring.
6. Although theAgreements withIsrael andTurkey were negotiated andconcluded inparallel
withtheother EFTA FTAs andtheirscope, content andstructure aretoagreat extent inlinewith
these agreements, thereasoning behind them wassomewhat different. While bothIsrael andTurkey
weregranted freeaccess totheEFTA markets, theEFTA countries alsowereassured equal treatment
toproducts ofEFTA origin withcomparison toECorigin products ontheTurkish andIsraeli markets.
TheFreeTrade Agreement withIsrael issymmetric andTurkey eliminated remaining duties and
restrictions bytheendof1995.
7. EFTA 'sagreements withtheCentral andEastEuropean countries (CEECs) werenegotiated
along thelinesoftheEuropean Agreements (normally thetradepartwasapplied asInterim Agreement
inwaiting forratification) which these countries haveconcluded withtheEU. Thus, thepattern of
theAgreements2ismuch alike, although theyarenotidentical. Itshould benoted thatwhile theEurope
Agreements cover awiderange ofeconomic andpolicy issues, theEFTA agreements aretraditional
freetrade agreements andthusmore limited inscope.

8. TheEFTAFreeTradeAgreementsarelargelybasedonthemodeloftheStockholmConvention,
thefounding charter ofEFTA, aswellasonthebilateral freetrade agreements which eachEFTA
country concluded withtheEECin1972and1973. Inaddition there areprovisions addressing other
fields suchasstateaid,statemonopolies, competition, intellectual property, public procurement and
alsoservices andinvestment, thusaligning these agreements withtheECAssociation Agreements,
theEuropean Economic AreaAgreement, aswellaswiththenewWTO rulesasagreed intheUruguay
Round. They alsocontain evolutionary clauses providing thebasis forfuture development ofthe
agreements andallowing extension ofthecoverage tonewsectors. ThePreamble oftheAgreements
stipulates thatnoprovisions maybeinterpreted asexempting theParties fromtheirobligations under
GATT/WTO.
9. Inlinewiththeapproach applied intheStockholm Convention aswellasinthebilateral free
trade agreements between theindividual EFTA States andtheECandmore recently intheEEA
Agreement, theEFTA FTAs withtheCEECs andIsrael andTurkey cover trade inindustrial goods
(HSChapters 25-97), processed agricultural products andfishandother marine products. While the
trade inprocessed agricultural products andfishisliberalized, thebilateral arrangements concluded
between eachEFTA country andtherespective FTApartner countries improve market access conditions
either byeliminating orsignificantly reducing tariffbarriers onagricultural products covered bythese
arrangements. These bilateral arrangements formpartoftheinstruments creating thefreetradeareas.
Consolidated, selective assessment oftheEFTA FTAs with Bulgaria (BG), Hungary (HU),
Israel (IL), Poland (PL), Romania (RO) andSlovenia (SI)
Objectives
10. Theprimary objective ofalltheAgreements istoestablish freetrade areas. Thefullplans
forthereduction tozerooftariffs onsubstantially allthetrade between theParties arecontained in
therelevant Articles oftheAgreements aswellasintherelevant Annexes andProtocols ofthe
Agreements (Annex 2contains asummary ofthestructure oftheFTAs, including Annexes and
Protocols).
Scope andproduct coverage
11. Asstated above, theFTAs cover trade inindustrial products (HSChapters 25-97), fishand
other marine products (Annex II)andprocessed agricultural products (Protocol A).TheAgreements
alsocontain provisions, interalia,onstateaid,statemonopolies, competition, public procurement,
intellectual property rights, services andinvestment. TheParties havealsoexpressed theirreadiness
todiscuss theextention ofthescope oftheAgreements totheareas notcurrently covered (evolutionary
clause).
12. Theproducts excluded fromthecoverage oftheAgreements (Annex I)areproducts originally
falling within Chapters 1to24("agricultural products") inthenomenclature preceding theHarmonized
Description andCoding System (H.S.), butwhich weretransferred atthetimeoftheintroduction of
theHarmonized System intoH.S. Chapters 25to97("industrial products"). These products listed
inAnnex Iarethusproducts which areexcluded fromtheapplication oftheprovisions oftheAgreements
relating toindustrial products. However, theproducts maybecovered bybilateral agricultural
arrangements orbytheprovisions relating toprocessed agricultural products (Protocol A).Itshould
bementioned thattheEFTA States apply thesame system intheir relations withtheEuropean
Community.WT/REG12/2, WT/REG13/3,
WT/REG14-16/2, WT/REG20/2
Page4
13. Thefollowing summary indicates products which arecovered by,orexcluded from, the
Agreements:
(i) Allproducts falling within H.S. Chapters 25to97arecovered, withtheexception
ofalimited number ofproducts contained inAnnex I;
(ii) Theproducts contained inProtocol Aarecovered. These products areprocessed
agricultural products;
(iii) Fishandother marine products contained inAnnex IIarecovered. These products
generally fallwithin H.S.Chapters 3,15and16.
14. Thetrade coverage oftheproducts covered bythevarious Agreements under review andof
thebilateral agricultural arangements, which alsoformpartoftheinstruments creating thefreetrade
areas, ispresented indetail atAnnex 4.
Import duties
(a) EFTA
15. There areminor differences inrelation totheproducts contained inAnnex III(products subject
todeferred dutyreduction),:
(i) there arenoproducts subject todeferred dutyreduction inEFTA/IL,
(ii) theproduct coverage isdifferent inFTA EFTA/BG/RO totheextent thatplastics
products arenotcontained inAnnex III(concerning Norway).
(b) BG/HU/IL/PL/RO/SI
16. Differences appear:
(i) InEFTA/IL allproducts covered arefreeofdutyfrom theentry intoforce ofthe
Agreement,
(ii) theproduct coverage differs depending ontheindustrial structure ofeachcountry,
(iii) thefinaldateoftheelimination ofduties forcertain products inEFTA/BG/PL/SI is
31December 2001, whereas inEFTA/HU/RO thedateis31December 2000.
Export duties
17. All export duties were abolished upon entry into force ofalltheFTAs
(EFTA/BG/HU/IL/PL/RO/SI), withthefollowing exceptions:
(a) Iceland hasabolished thelegalbasisformaintaining export levyonfishproducts, for
which Iceland hadretained thepossibility inEFTA/BG/HU/IL/PL/RO FTAs;
(b) Bulgaria shallabolish allexport duties notlaterthan31December 1998;WT/REG12/2, WT/REG13/3
WT/REG14-16/2, WT/REG20/2

(c) Israel retains export duties onalimited number ofproducts (mainly metal waste and
scrap);
(d) Slovenia shallabolish allexport duties notlaterthan31December 1997.
Fiscal duties
18. Theprovisions concerning theprohibition andabolition ofcustoms duties onimports alsoapply
tocustoms duties ofafiscal nature, withtheexception oftheproducts contained inProtocol Cofthe
Agreements. Duties ofafiscal nature arenon-discriminatory duties applied forrevenue purposes on
products which arenotproduced domestically. Since 1January 1994, when Iceland abolished fiscal
duties, onlySwitzerland applies suchduties foralimited number ofproducts. InSwitzerland theprocess
ofabolition ofthesystem offiscal duties isalsounderway. Thefiscal duties forcertain filmproducts
havealsready beenabolished. Inaddition, theSwiss people accepted on28November 1993tocreate
theconstitutionalbasisallowingtheeliminationofthecustomsdutiesofafiscalnatureappliedonmineral
oils,fuelsandcertain motor vehicles. These willbepartially replaced byinternal taxes. TheSwiss
federaladministrationiscurrentlypreparingthenecessarytechnicalandlegalmeasuresfortheelimination
ofthese customs duties ofafiscal nature. Upon entry intoforce ofthese measures, which isforeseen
on1January 1997, Table IItoProtocol CoftheAgreement willalsobecome irrelevant.
Rules oforigin
19. Theprovisions onrules oforigin laiddown inProtocol BtotheAgreements areconceived
forthepurpose oftheAgreements andarethesame inallofthem. Theorigin rules arecompletely
inlinewiththeCommon Declaration withRegard toPreferential Rules ofOrigin contained inAnnex
IItotheAgreement onRules ofOrigin assetoutintheFinal ActoftheUruguay Round. Therules
oforigin contained inProtocol BoftheFTAs willnotresult inhigher tariff barriers tonon-FTA
members. Therelevant provisions onthedefinition oftheconcept "originating products" arecontained
inTitleIofProtocol B.
Quantitative restrictions
20. Theprovisions onquantitative import andexport restrictions intheFTAs apply toallproducts
covered bythese Agreements (asspecified inArticle 2oftheFTAs). Theagreements foresee total
elimination ofquantitative restrictions attheendoftransitional period asoutlined inthevarious Annexes
totheFTAs, withfewexceptions asspecified intherelevant Annexes.
Import restrictions
(a) EFTA
21. Thefewproducts subject toimport restrictions arethesame inallFTAs (norestrictions by
EFTA States inEFTA-Israel FTA). Since Iceland hasabolished allrestrictions, theseareonlyapplied
byNorway. Thequantitative restrictions inNorway apply totextile clothing andwillbeabolished
bytheendof1997.WT/REG12/2, WT/REG13/3,

23. Thefewproducts subject toexport restrictions (mainly metal waste andscrap) arethesame
inallFTAs. There arenoexport restrictions inIceland. Itisworth noting thatsince theentry into
force oftheFTAs, export restrictions havebeenabolished inNorway. IntheFTAs notimelimithas
beenindicated fortheabolition ofremaining export restrictions inSwitzerland (incl. alsoLiechtenstein).
However, inSwitzerland adecision forabolishing these restrictions on1July1996 hasbeenmade.
Thisdecision issubject toparliamentary approval. These export restrictions areintended tosafeguard
thesupply ofinput material andtheexports inthese products represent anegligent share ofEFTA
exports tothevarious FTApartner countries.
(b) BG/HU/IL/PL/RO/SI
24. Theproducts subject toexport restrictions arealldifferent, asfollows:

Trade inagricultural products
Processed agricultural products
25. Trade inprocessed agricultural products (Protocol A)iscovered bytheAgreements. While
theEFTA States haveliberalized tradeinthese products byreducing oreliminating theindustrial part
oftheduties, theFTApartner countries havecommitted themselves toliberalization during atransition
period, withtheexception ofIsrael, which haseliminated industrial partoftheduties.
26. Originally amechanism ofapplying variable levies (Article 4ofProtocol A)wasintroduced
soastoallow taking intoaccount thedifferences inthecostoftheagricultural rawmaterials incorporated
inthegoods covered byProtocol A.TheAgreements donotpreclude thelevying, upon import, of
avariable component orfixed amount, ortheapplication ofinternal price compensation measures,
northeapplication ofmeasures adopted upon export. Such price compensation measures must not
exceed thedifferences between thedomestic price andtheworld market price ofagricultural raw
materials incorporated intothegoods concerned. Theprocess ofintroducing aprice compensation
system iscurrently underway inmostoftheFTApartner countries. Theprovisions mentioned above
arethesame asthose which apply intrade between theEFTA countries andbetween theECandthe
EFTA countries. Since theentry intoforce oftheWTO Agreement onAgriculture, theprice
compensation mechanism hasceased tobeapplicable andtheParties concerned havereplaced variable
levies byfixed duties. Currently theParties totheFTAs areintheprocess ofamending Protocol A
accordingly.
Fish
27. Freetrade infishandother marine products ispartoftheprevailing EFTA regime, andalso
theFreeTrade Agreements cover tradeinthese products. While theEFTA countries havecommitted
themselves toliberalize substantially allthetradeintheseproducts under theFTAs, thepartner countries
haveliberalized either substantially ortoalargeparttheirtradeinfishandother marine products with
theEFTA countries.
Basic agricultural products (bilateral arrangements)
28. Duetothedifferent policies andtrade regimes inagriculture oftheEFTA States, theParties
tothedifferent FTAs haveconcluded arrangements onabilateral basis, providing formeasures to
facilitate tradeinagricultural products ofinterest totheParties oftheFTAs. Itshould alsoberecalled
thattheStockholm Convention doesnotcover trade inagricultural products (with theexception of
processed agricultural products andfishproducts). Areference tothebilateral arrangements ismade
intherelevant article oftheFTA(Trade inAgricultural Products), thuslinking them withtheother
instruments negotiated within theframework oftheFTAs, which areallrelevant towards creating the
freetrade areas. IntheFreeTrade Agreements theParties havedeclared theirreadiness tofoster,
insofarastheiragriculturalpoliciesallow,theharmoniousdevelopmentoftradeinagriculturalproducts.
Inmostofthebilateral arrangements areference isalsomade tothecommitment tocontinue theefforts
byrelevant Parties withaviewtoachieving progressive liberalization ofagricultural trade, within the
framework oftheirrespective agricultural policies andtheirinternational commitments, andtaking
intoaccount theresults oftheUruguay Round. Thearrangements alsocontain review clauses, thus
allowing toreview thefunctioning andalsothecoverage ofthearrangements.WT/REG12/2, WT/REG13/3,
WT/REG14-16/2, WT/REG20/2
Page8
29. Thebilateral arrangements abolish orreduce customs duties andcharges having equivalent
effectonanumberofagriculturalproducts,therebyprovidingbetteraccessconditionsforthoseproducts.
Nospecific quotas oranyother quantitative restrictions areapplied under thebilateral arrangements,
except forcertain quotas withreduced duties. TheParties donotapply onagriculture anysubsidies
which arespecific totheirmutual trade.
30. Thebilateral arrangements, concluded within theframework oftheFreeTrade Agreements,
contribute tothedevelopment ofcloser integration between theeconomies oftheParties tothefree
tradeareas, without raising barriers tothetradeofother WTO Members withtheParties totheseareas.
Non-economic reasons forrestrictions
31. Theprovisions onnon-economic reasons forrestrictions (General exceptions) havebeendrafted
onthebasisoftheparallel provisions inGATT. Forinstance theterm"protection oftheenvironment"
hasbeenincluded intheprovisions, alhough thenotion isbasically thesame as"protection ofhuman,
animal orplantlifeandhealth" asunderstood inArticle XXoftheGeneral Agreement. TheAgreements
donot,however, define theterm.
State monopolies
32. Theprovisions onstatemonopolies ensure thatprocurement ormarketing ofproducts byany
statemonopolies ofcommercial nature, asdefined intherelevant Article oftheAgreement alsoinclude
monopolies delegated bytheStates toothers. TheAgreements donotcontain anylistsofstate
monopolies intheStates Parties totheFTAs, withtheexception ofthose statemonopolies listed in
Protocol Dandtowhich theprovisions oftherelevant Article donotapply. TheParties tothe
Agreements arebound bytheir commitments under Article XVII andtheUnderstanding onthe
Interpretation ofArticle XVII oftheGATT 1994, including those relating tothenofitication.
Technical regulations
33. Thetechnical regulations andamendments introduced bytheStates Parties totheseAgreements
areequally applied toallcountries under theprovisions oftheAgreement onTechnical Barriers to
Trade.
Internal taxation
34. Inlinewiththerelevant Article oftheAgreements, there arenomeasures orpractices ofan
internal fiscal nature, applied bytheParties totheFTAs, implying, directly orindirectly, discrimination
against other countries. Asanexample ofdirect taxation onecanmention income taxorcorporate
tax,whereas turnover taxandvalue-added taxareexamples ofindirect taxation.
Payments
35. TheAgreements provide freedom ofpayments relating totrade andtransfer ofsuchpayments
totheterritory oftheParty where thecreditor resides. They include acommitment torefrain from
anyexchange oradministrative restrictions ongrant, repayment oracceptance ofcredits covering
commercial transactions. ThePartner countries havereserved therighttoapply exchange restrictions
connected withthegranting ortaking upofshort andmedium termcredits totheextent permitted
according tothese countries status under theIMF. Such restrictions shall beapplied ona
non-discriminatory basis.WT/REG12/2, WT/REG13/3
WT/REG14-16/2, WT/REG20/2
Page9
State aid
36. Anyactions taken inaccordance withthestateaidprovisions oftheFTAs willbeinaccordance
withtherelevant provisions oftheWTO. TheState aidcriteria andnotification/annual reporting
requirements introduced under theFTAs aremore stringent thanthose under theWTO Subsidy
Agreement. Under some oftheAgreements theEFTA partner countries havebeengranted apossibility
toapply more flexible criteria during aspecially defined transition period.
Dumping andemergency action onimports ofparticular products
37. TheParties totheAgreements mayonlytakeanti-dumping measures inaccordance withthe
Agreement onImplementation ofArticle VIoftheGATT 1994. TheAgreements contain provisions
fortheprocedures forapplication ofsafeguard measures which areapplicable toanti-dumping measures.
38. TheAgreementscontainprovisionsconcerningemergencyactiononimportsofparticularproducts
incasesofserious injury orserious disturbances. Theprovisions forapplication ofsafeguard measures,
ascontained intheAgreements, areapplicable toemergency measures.
Structural adjustment
39. Thestructural adjustment provisions entail another element ofasymmetry intheFreeTrade
Agreements withtheCentral andEastEuropean partner countries. Themeasures under theprovisions
applying tostructural adjustment mayconcern infant industries orsectors undergoing restructuring
orfacingseriousdifficulties,particularlywherethesedifficultiesmightleadtoimportantsocialproblems.
Themaximum coverage oftrade represented byproducts onwhich structural adjustment measures
maybeapplied isdefined intherelevant Article.
40. Nomeasures against thirdcountries canbebased onthese provisions, since theFTAs donot
altertheParties 'respective rights vis-à-vis third countries under theGeneral Agreement. Forthis
reason thebasis foranypossible tariff increase inbound tariffs against third countries would be
Article XXVIII. Theprovisions relating tothestructural adjustment onlyaimatmaintaining anelement
ofpreference forproducts ofEFTA origin inrelation tothem.f.n. rateifthepartner countries should
wishtoderogate temporarily from theprovisions ofArticle 4oftheFTAs andimpose exceptional
measures onproducts from EFTA countries. Nolimitofmargin ofpreference hasbeenset,butthe
margin which should beconsidered appropriate would bedecided onacase-by-case basis.
Re-export andserious shortage
41. Anyexport restrictions introduced under these provisions shallbeapplied inaccordance with
therequirements ofArticle XIoftheGeneral Agreement unless theyarebased onArticle XX.
Balance ofpayments difficulties
42. Anymeasuresforbalance-of-paymentspurposesshallbeappliedinaccordancewiththeconditions
established under theGeneral Agreement andtheUnderstanding onBalance-of-Payments Provisions

provision, maybedefined bytheParties within theobjectives oftheAgreements assetforthinArticle 1
oftheAgreements.
Accession, withdrawal andexpiration
44. Each Party totheAgreements maywithdraw from them bymeans ofawritten notification
totheDepositary. Thewithdrawal shalltakeeffect sixmonths afterthedateonwhich thenotification
isreceived. IfaParty totheAgreement, which isnotanEFTA country, withdraws, theAgreement
inquestion shallexpire attheendofthenotice period. AnyEFTA Member State which withdraws
