AGREEMENT

A.   Letter from the European Union

Madam,

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway (‘the Parties’) on bilateral trade in agricultural products, concluded on 5 April 2017.

A new round of agricultural trade negotiations between the European Commission and the Norwegian Government was undertaken on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’) with a view to furthering the progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade between the Parties on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis. The negotiations were carried out on an orderly basis, with due consideration given to developments in the Parties' respective agricultural policies and circumstances, including developments in bilateral trade and trade conditions with other trading partners.

I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

B.   Letter from the Kingdom of Norway

Madam,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date, which reads as follows:

‘I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway (‘the Parties’) on bilateral trade in agricultural products, concluded on 5 April 2017.

A new round of agricultural trade negotiations between the European Commission and the Norwegian Government was undertaken on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’) with a view to furthering the progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade between the Parties on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis. The negotiations were carried out on an orderly basis, with due consideration given to developments in the Parties' respective agricultural policies and circumstances, including developments in bilateral trade and trade conditions with other trading partners.

I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

| 1. | Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex I to this Agreement. |

| --- | --- |

5.

The tariff codes set out in Annexes I to IV to this Agreement are the tariff codes that apply to the Parties as of 1 January 2017.

| 6. | The existing tariff quotas for imports into Norway of 600 tons of swine meat, 800 tons of poultry meat and 900 tons of bovine meat, as listed in Annex II to the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway signed on 15 April 2011 (‘the 2011 Agreement’), will not be affected by the implementation of a possible future WTO agreement on agriculture. Point 7 of the 2011 Agreement is therefore deleted. |
