ANNEX

H.E. Ratu Epeli NAILATIKAU

President of the Republic of Fiji

Suva

Republic of Fiji

Excellency,

The European Union (EU) attaches great importance to the provisions of Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and Article 3 of the Development Cooperation Instrument. The ACP-EU partnership is founded on respect for human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law, which form the essential elements of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and form the basis of our relations.

On 11 December 2006 the Council of the EU condemned the military takeover in the Republic of Fiji.

Under Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and considering that the military takeover on 5 December 2006 constituted a violation of the essential elements listed in Article 9 thereof, the EU invited Fiji to consultations, as provided for in the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, in order to thoroughly examine the situation and, where necessary, take steps to remedy it.

The formal part of those consultations began in Brussels on 18 April 2007. The EU was pleased that at the time the Interim Government confirmed a number of key commitments regarding human rights and fundamental freedoms, respect for democratic principles and the rule of law, as noted below, and proposed positive steps regarding their implementation.

Regrettably, there have since been a series of regressive developments, in particular in April 2009, meaning that Fiji is now in breach of a range of its commitments. This concerns notably the abrogation of the Constitution, the very substantial delay in holding the parliamentary elections, and human rights violations. Although implementation of the commitments has been substantially delayed, the majority of those commitments remain highly relevant to Fiji’s present situation, and are therefore attached to this letter. As Fiji has unilaterally decided to break a number of key commitments, this has led to losses for Fiji in terms of development funds.

Although restrictions on certain human rights and fundamental freedoms remain, some positive steps have taken place since early 2012, namely the lifting of the Public Emergency Regulations on 7 January 2012, the announcement on 9 March 2012 of a political process that would lead to a new constitution by March 2013 and the re-establishment of a constitutional democracy through new parliamentary elections due to be held by September 2014.

In recognition of those developments and in the spirit of partnership forming the cornerstone of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, the EU expresses its readiness to engage in a new formal dialogue regarding those developments. Such a formal dialogue could be envisaged on the occasion of a review mission in the framework of Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, after the successful conclusion of an inclusive, credible and transparent constitutional consultation process, expected in March 2013.

Accordingly, the EU has decided to extend the existing appropriate measures for Fiji and amend them as a first response to the steps taken by Fiji, allowing in particular the launch of programming discussions for the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), and notification in due course of an indicative allocation for Fiji. The finalisation, signing and implementation of the 11th EDF programming documents will then be envisaged with the future democratically elected government. Consequently, it is of particular importance that the Interim Government commits to an inclusive, credible and transparent constitutional consultation process and domestic political dialogue, and respects in particular its commitments with regard to human rights and the rule of law and lifts remaining restrictions. While the EU’s position is guided by the essential elements of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement as well as its fundamental principles, notably regarding the pivotal role of dialogue and the fulfilment of mutual obligations, it is stressed that there are no foregone conclusions on the EU’s side regarding the outcome of this dialogue.

If the envisaged review and formal dialogue have a positive outcome, the EU is committed to a further positive review of these appropriate measures. Conversely, if the situation in Fiji does not improve, then further losses of EU development funds for Fiji are set to continue. In particular, the assessment of further progress made towards a return to constitutional rule will guide the EU in the upcoming decisions on Fiji’s national indicative programme under the 11th EDF.

Until the formal dialogue has taken place, the EU invites Fiji to continue and intensify the enhanced political dialogue.

The appropriate measures are as follows:

| — | humanitarian aid and direct support to civil society and vulnerable populations may continue, |

—

regional cooperation, and Fiji’s participation in it, is unaffected.

Monitoring of the commitments will be in accordance with the terms in the Annex to this letter concerning regular dialogue, and effective cooperation with assessment and monitoring missions and reporting.

Furthermore, the EU expects Fiji to cooperate fully with the Pacific Islands Forum regarding the implementation of the recommendations by the Eminent Persons’ Group, as endorsed by the Forum Foreign Ministers at their meeting in Vanuatu on 16 March 2007. The EU welcomes recent progress concerning the engagement with the Pacific Islands Forum Ministerial Contact Group set up to monitor the progress of Fiji’s preparations for the elections and its return to democracy.

The EU will continue to closely follow the situation in Fiji. Under Article 8 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, an enhanced political dialogue will be conducted with Fiji to ensure respect for human rights, restoration of democracy and respect for the rule of law until both parties conclude that the enhanced nature of the dialogue has served its purpose.

If there is a slowing down, breakdown or reversal in the implementation by the Interim Government of the commitments made, the EU reserves the right to readjust the appropriate measures.

The EU stresses that Fiji’s privileges in its cooperation with the EU depend on respect for the essential elements of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and the principles set in the Development Cooperation Instrument. In order to convince the EU that the Interim Government is fully prepared to follow up on the commitments given, it is essential that early and substantial progress be made in the fulfilment of the agreed commitments.

Yours sincerely,

Done at Brussels,

For the Council

of 28 June 2012

supplementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards transnational cooperation and contractual negotiations of producer organisations in the milk and milk products sector

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 126e(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Section IIA of Chapter II of Title II of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 inserted by Regulation (EU) No 261/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) contains rules on producer organisations and their associations in the milk and milk products sector, in particular with respect to their recognition and contractual negotiations. Those rules need to be supplemented as regards the conditions for recognising transnational producer organisations and transnational associations of recognised producer organisations, clarifying the responsibility of the Member States involved and, while respecting the freedom of establishment, ensuring that the applicable rules are those of the Member State where a significant share of the activities of such organisations or associations takes place. |

| (2) | In addition, rules should be laid down relating to the establishment and the conditions of administrative assistance to be given in the case of transnational cooperation. Such assistance should in particular include the transfer of information that would allow the competent Member State to assess whether a producer organisation or association of recognised producer organisations complies with the terms of recognition. Such information is necessary to allow the competent Member State to take action in case of non-compliance. |
