Article 138

1. During the transitional period, subject to authorization by the Commission, Norway, Austria and Finland may grant, in an appropriate form, transitional and degressive national aids to producers of basic agricultural products subject to the common agricultural policy.

These aids may be the subject of differentiation in particular by region.

2. The Commission shall authorize the aids provided for in paragraph 1:

- in all cases where the factors introduced by a new Member State show that significant differences exist between the level of support granted by product to its producers before accession and that which may be granted under the common agricultural policy;

- up to an initial amount equal, at most, to this difference.

Initial differences of less than 10 % shall not be deemed significant.

However, the Commission's authorizations:

- shall be granted in conformity with the international commitments of the enlarged Community;

- shall, as far as pigmeat, eggs and poultry are concerned, take account of the price alignment of feed;

- shall not be granted for tobacco.

3. The amount of support provided for in paragraph 2 shall be calculated by basic agricultural product. This calculation shall take into consideration in particular the support measures of prices by intervention mechanisms or by other mechanisms as well as the grant of aids linked to surface area, to prices, to the quantity produced or to the production unit, and the grant of aids to holdings for specific products.

4. Authorizations by the Commission shall:

- define the maximum initial level of the aids, the rate at which they decrease and, where appropriate, the conditions for the granting thereof, taking account also of other aids resulting from Community legislation which are not covered by this Article;

- be granted subject to any adjustments which may be rendered necessary:

- by developments in the common agricultural policy;

- by developments in the level of prices in the Community.

Should such adjustments prove necessary, the amount of the aids or the conditions for the granting thereof shall be amended at the Commission's request or on the basis of a decision by the Commission.

5. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 4, the Commission shall authorize, under paragraph 1, in particular, the national aids provided for in Annex XIII, up to the limits and under the conditions provided for in the said Annex.

Article 139

Article 142

1. The Commission shall authorize Norway, Finland and Sweden to grant long-term national aids with a view to ensuring that agricultural activity is maintained in specific regions. These regions should cover the agricultural areas situated to the north of the 62nd Parallel and some adjacent areas south of that parallel affected by comparable climatic conditions rendering agricultural activity particularly difficult.

2. The regions referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined by the Commission, taking into consideration in particular:

- the low population density;

- the portion of agricultural land in the overall surface area;

- the portion of agricultural land devoted to arable crops intended for human consumption, in the agricultural surface area used.

3. The aids provided for in paragraph 1 may be related to physical factors of production, such as hectares of agricultural land or heads of animal taking account of the relevant limits laid down in the common organizations of the market, as well as the historical production patterns of each farm, but must not:

- be linked to future production;

- or lead to an increase in production or in the level of overall support recorded during a pre-accession reference period to be determined by the Commission.

The aids may be differentiated by region.

These aids must be granted in particular in order to:

- maintain traditional primary production and processing naturally suited to the climatic conditions of the regions concerned;

- improve the structures for the production, marketing and processing of agricultural products;

- facilitate the disposal of the said products;

- ensure that the environment is protected and the countryside preserved.

Article 143

1. The aids provided for in Articles 138 to 142 and any other national aid subject to Commission authorization under this Act shall be notified to the Commission. They may not be applied until such authorization has been given.

Communication of existing or envisaged aid measures by the new Member States prior to accession shall be deemed to constitute notification on the date of accession.

2. As regards the aids provided for in Article 142, the Commission shall submit to the Council one year after accession and subsequently every five years a report on:

- the authorizations granted;

- the results of the aid granted under such authorizations.

In preparation for drawing up such reports, Member States in receipt of such authorizations shall supply the Commission in good time with information on the effects of the aids granted, illustrating the development noted in the agricultural economy of the regions in question.

AQUATIC ANIMALS

COMBINED ACIDIFICATION AND HEAT TREATMENT

I. Description of the system

>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>

The raw material is reduced by crushing and mixed with formic acid to reduce the pH thereof. The mixture is stored for an intermediary period pending new treatment. The product is then introduced into a heat converter. The progression of the product through the heat converter is controlled by means of mechanical commands limiting its displacement in such a way that at the end of the heat treatment operation the product has undergone a cycle which is sufficient in both time and temperature. After heat treatment, the product is separated into liquid/fat/greaves phases by mechanical means. In order to obtain an animal protein concentrate, the liquid phase is pumped into two heat-exchangers which are steam-heated and equipped with vacuum chambers in order for its humidity to be removed therein in the form of water vapour. The greaves are reincorporated in the protein concentrate before storage.

II. Critical control points in factories

1. Size of particles: after crushing, the size of the particles must be less than . . . mm.

2. pH: during the acidification phase, the pH must be lower than or equal to . . . The pH must be checked each day.

3. Duration of intermediary storage: it must be at least . . . hours.

4. Absolute duration of treatment: the load must be treated for at least . . . minutes at the minimum temperature indicated in paragraph 5.

5. Critical temperature: the temperature must be at least . . . °C and be recorded for each load on a permanent recording system. Each product manufactured at a lower temperature must be re-processed with raw material.`

PART II RAIL AND COMBINED TRANSPORT

Article 2

This Part shall apply to measures relating to the provision of rail and combined transport crossing the territory of Austria.

Article 3

The Community and the Member States concerned shall, within the framework of their respective competences, adopt and closely coordinate measures for the development and promotion of rail and combined transport for the trans-Alpine carriage of goods.

Article 4

When establishing the guidelines provided for in Article 129c of the EC Treaty, the Community shall ensure that the axes defined in Annex 1 form part of the trans-European networks for rail and combined transport and are furthermore identified as projects of common interest.

Article 5

The Community and the Member States concerned shall, within the framework of their respective competences, implement the measures listed in Annex 2.

Article 6

The Community and the Member States concerned shall use their best endeavours to develop and utilise the additional railway capacity referred to in Annex 3.

Article 7

The Community and the Member States concerned shall take measures to enhance the provision of rail and combined transport; where appropriate, and subject to other EC Treaty provisions, such measures shall be established in close consultation with railway companies and other railway service providers. Priority should be given to those measures set out in the Community's provisions on railways and combined transport. In implementing any measures, particular attention shall be attached to the competitiveness, effectiveness and cost transparency of rail and combined transport. In particular, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to take such measures so as to ensure that prices for combined transport are competitive with those for other modes of transport. Any aid granted to these ends shall comply with Community rules.

Article 8

The Community and the Member States concerned shall, in the event of a serious disturbance in rail transit, such as a natural disaster, take all possible concerted action to maintain the flow of traffic. Priority shall be given to sensitive loads, such as perishable foods.

Article 9

The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16, shall review the operation of this Part.

PART III ROAD TRANSPORT

Article 10

This Part shall apply to the carriage of goods by road on journeys carried out within the territory of the Community.

Article 11

1. For journeys which involve transit of goods by road through Austria, the regime established for journeys on own account and for journeys for hire or reward under the First Council Directive of 23 July 1962 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 881/92 shall apply subject to the provisions of this Article.

2. Until 1 January 1998, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) The total of NOx emissions from heavy goods vehicles crossing Austria in transit shall be reduced by 60 % in the period between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 2003, according to the table in Annex 4.

(b) The reductions in total NOx emissions from heavy goods vehicles shall be administered according to an ecopoints system. Under that system any heavy goods vehicle crossing Austria in transit shall require a number of ecopoints equivalent to its NOx emissions (authorized under the Conformity of Production (COP) value or type-approval value). The method of calculation and administration of such points is described in Annex 5.

(c) If the number of transit journeys in any year exceeds the reference figure established for 1991 by more than 8 %, the Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16, shall adopt appropriate measures in accordance with paragraph 3 of Annex 5.

(d) Austria shall issue and make available in good time the ecopoints cards required for the administration of the ecopoints system, pursuant to Annex 5, for heavy goods vehicles crossing Austria in transit.

(e) The ecopoints shall be distributed by the Commission among Member States in accordance with provisions to be established in accordance with paragraph 6.

3. Before 1 January 1998, the Council, on the basis of a report by the Commission, shall review the operation of provisions concerning transit of goods by road through Austria. The review shall take place in conformity with basic principles of Community law, such as the proper functioning of the internal market, in particular the free movement of goods and freedom to provide services, protection of the environment in the interest of the Community as a whole, and traffic safety. Unless the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decides otherwise, the transitional period shall be extended to 1 January 2001, during which the provisions of paragraph 2 shall apply.

4. Before 1 January 2001, the Commission, in cooperation with the European Environment Agency, shall make a scientific study of the degree to which the objective concerning reduction of pollution set out in paragraph 2 (a) has been achieved. If the Commission concludes that this objective has been achieved on a sustainable basis, the provisions of paragraph 2 shall cease to apply on 1 January 2001. If the Commission concludes that this objective has not been achieved on a sustainable basis the Council, acting in accordance with Article 75 of the EC Treaty, may adopt measures, within a Community framework, which ensure equivalent protection of the environment, in particular a 60 % reduction of pollution. If the Council does not adopt such measures, the transitional period shall be automatically extended for a final period of three years, during which the provisions of paragraph 2 shall apply.

5. At the end of the transitional period, the 'acquis communautaire` in its entirety shall be applied.

6. The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16, shall adopt detailed measures concerning the procedures relating to the ecopoints system, the distribution of ecopoints and technical questions concerning the application of this Article, which shall enter into force on the date of accession of Austria.

The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall ensure that the factual situation for the present Member States resulting from the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3637/92 and of the Administrative Arrangement, signed on 23 December 1992, setting the date of entry into force and the procedures for the introduction of the ecopoints system referred to in the Transit Agreement, is maintained. All necessary efforts shall be made to ensure that the share of ecopoints allocated to Greece takes sufficient account of Greek needs in this context.

Article 12

1. For international carriage of goods on journeys between Member States, the regime established under Council Regulation (EEC) No 881/92 shall apply subject to the provisions set out in this Article. These provisions shall be applicable until 31 December 1996.

2. For bilateral journeys, existing quotas shall be progressively liberalized and full freedom to provide transport services shall be effective as from 1 January 1997. A first stage of liberalization shall take effect on the date of accession of Austria, a second stage on 1 January 1996.

If necessary, the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may take appropriate measures to that effect.

3. The Council, acting in accordance with Article 75 of the Treaty, shall adopt appropriate and simple measures to prevent circumvention of the provisions of Article 11 by 1 January 1997 at the latest.

4. As long as the provisions of Article 11 (2) apply, the Member States, in the framework of their mutual cooperation, shall, if necessary, take measures compatible with the EC Treaty against misuse of the ecopoints system.

5. Hauliers with a Community authorization issued by the competent authorities in Austria shall not be entitled to carry out an international carriage of goods on journeys where neither loading nor unloading takes place in Austria. All such journeys involving transit through Austria shall, however, be subject to the provisions of Article 11 and also, with the exception of journeys between Germany and Italy, to existing quotas, which shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 above.

Article 13

1. Until 31 December 1996, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93 shall not apply to hauliers with a Community authorization issued by the competent authorities in Austria for the operation of national road haulage services in other Member States.

2. During the same period, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93 shall not apply to hauliers with a Community authorization issued by the competent authorities in another Member State for the operation of national road haulage services in Austria.

Article 14

1. There shall be no controls at the borders between Austria and other Member States. However, in derogation from Regulations (EEC) No 4060/89 and (EEC) No 3912/92 and notwithstanding Article 153 of the Act of Accession, non-discriminatory physical controls requiring vehicles to halt in order solely to verify ecopoints issued under the provisions of Article 11, and transport authorizations referred to in Article 12, may be retained until 31 December 1996. Such controls shall not unduly slow down the normal flow of traffic.

2. To the extent necessary, any control methods including electronic systems applicable after 31 December 1996 and relating to the implementation of Article 11 shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16.

Article 15

1. Austria may, in derogation from Article 7 (f) of Directive 93/89/EEC, apply, until 31 December 1995, user charges at a maximum level of ECU 3.750 per year including administrative costs and, until 31 December 1996, at a maximum level of ECU 2 500 per year including administrative costs.

RAILWAY CAPACITY

referred to in Article 6 of the Protocol

1. AUSTRIAN RAILWAYS' ADDITIONAL CAPACITY FOR CARRIAGE OF GOODS IN TRANSIT THROUGH AUSTRIA

>TABLE>

2. POTENTIAL CAPACITY INCREASE IN CONSIGNMENTS OR TONNES

Immediately:

Since 1 December 1989 Austria has introduced 39 more goods and combined transport trains into Brenner transit.

In the short term:

Short-term expansion will more than double rail capacity for transit through Austria. From 1996 onwards, depending on the combined transport technology used, there will, in addition, be an increase in annual combined transport capacity of up to 1,8 million consignments or up to 33 million tonnes.

In the medium term:

By 1998 this capacity will be expanded by a further 10 million tonnes a year through additional selective two-track development and safety and operating improvements on the transit routes.

In the long term:

The Pyhrn-Schober route will be upgraded to two-track running. A Brenner base tunnel should further improve capacity on the Brenner route to as many as 400 trains a day. Depending on the technology chosen, the newly created combined rail transport capacity could rise to 60 to 89 million tonnes a year after 2010.

Definitions:

>TABLE>

ANNEX 4 referred to in Article 11 (2) (a) of the Protocol

>TABLE>

The figures in column 3 shall be adapted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16 to take account of transit journeys by heavy goods vehicles registered in Finland, Norway and Sweden, based on indicative values for the respective countries calculated on the basis of the number of transit journeys in 1991 and a standard value of NOx emission of 15,8 grammes NOx/kWh.

ANNEX 5

CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF ECOPOINTS referred to in Article 11 (2) (b) of the Protocol

1. The following documents shall be submitted for each heavy goods vehicle each time it travels through Austria (in either direction):

(a) a document showing the COP value for NOx emissions from the vehicle in question;

(b) a valid ecopoints card issued by the competent authority.

Concerning (a):

in the case of heavy goods vehicles registered after 1 October 1990, the document showing the COP value shall be a certificate issued by the appropriate authority giving details of an official COP value for NOx emissions or the type-approval certificate showing the date of registration and value established for type-approval purposes. In the latter case, the COP value shall be the type-approval increased by 10 %. Once such a value has been determined for a vehicle it cannot be changed during the vehicle's life.

In the case of vehicles registered before 1 October 1990 and vehicles for which no certificate has been submitted, a COP value of 15,8 g/kWh shall be set.

Concerning (b):

the ecopoints card shall contain a certain number of points and shall be endorsed as follows on the basis of the COP value for the vehicles in question:

1. each g/kWh NOx emission corresponding to the value shown in the document referred to in 1 (a) shall count as one point:

2. NOx emission values shall be rounded up to the next full point when they are to a decimal place of 0,5 or more, otherwise they shall be rounded down.

2. The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 16, shall at threemonth intervals calculate the number of journeys and the average NOx value of the heavy goods vehicles detailed for each nationality.

3. If Article 11 (2) (c) applies, the number of ecopoints for the following year shall be established as follows:

The quarterly average NOx emission values for lorries in the current year, calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 above, will be extrapolated to produce the average NOx emission value anticipated for the following year. The forecast value, multiplied by 0,0658 and by the number of ecopoints for 1991 set out in Annex 4, will be the number of ecopoints for the year in question.

Protocol No 10 On the use of specific austrian terms of the german language in the framework of the European Union

In the framework of the European Union, the following shall apply:

1. The specific Austrian terms of the German language contained in the Austrian legal order and listed in the Annex to this Protocol shall have the same status and may be used with the same legal effect as the corresponding terms used in Germany listed in that Annex.

II. DECLARATIONS ADOPTED BY THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES

1. Joint Declaration on Common Foreign and Security Policy

1. The Union notes the confirmation by Norway, Austria, Finland and Sweden of their full acceptance of the rights and obligations attaching to the Union and its institutional framework, known as the 'acquis communautaire`, as it applies to present Member States. This includes in particular the content, principles and political objectives of the Treaties, including those of the Treaty on European Union.

The Union and the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden agree that:

- accession to the Union should strengthen the internal coherence of the Union and its capacity to act effectively in foreign and security policy;

- the new Member States will, from the time of their accession, be ready and able to participate fully and actively in the Common Foreign and Security Policy as defined in the Treaty on European Union;

- the new Member States will, on accession, take on in their entirety and without reservation all the objectives of the Treaty, the provisions of Title V thereof, and the relevant declarations attached to it;

- the new Member States will be ready and able to support the specific policies of the Union in force at the time of their accession.

2. With regard to Member States' obligations deriving from the Treaty on European Union concerning the implementation of the Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy it is understood that on the day of accession the legal framework of the acceding countries will be compatible with the 'acquis`.

2. Joint Declaration on Article 157 (4) of the Act of Accession

The new Member States will take part in a system involving the rotation of three Advocates-General in the alphabetical order applied at present, it being understood that Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom will not take part in that system, as they will have a permanent Advocate-General each. The alphabetical order is thus the following:

Belgique (1988-1994), Danmark (1991-1997), Ellas (1994-2000), Ireland, Luxembourg, Nederland, Norge, Österreich, Portugal, Suomi, Sverige.

It follows that as from accession one Advocate-General of Spanish nationality and one of Irish nationality will be appointed. The term of office of the Spanish Advocate-General will expire on 6 October 1997, and the term of office of the Irish Advocate-General will expire on 6 October 2000.

3. Joint Declaration on the Court of Justice of the European Communities

Such additional measures as may prove necessary following the accession of the new Member States should be taken by the Council which, at the request of the Court, may increase the number of Advocates-General to nine and make the necessary adjustments pursuant to the provisions of the third paragraph of Article 32a of the ECSC Treaty, the third paragraph of Article 166 of the EC Treaty and the third paragraph of Article 138 of the Euratom Treaty.

4. Joint Declaration on the application of the Euratom Treaty

The Contracting Parties, recalling that the Treaties on which the European Union is founded apply to all Member States on a non-discriminatory basis and without prejudice to the rules governing the internal market, acknowledge that, as Contracting Parties to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, Member States decide to produce or not to produce nuclear energy according to their specific policy orientations.

As regards the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle, it is the responsibility of each Member State to define its own policy.

5. Joint Declaration on secondary residences

6. Joint Declaration on standards for the protection of the environment, health and product safety

The Contracting Parties emphasize the great importance of promoting a high level of health, safety and environmental protection as part of Community action, in conformity with the objectives and in accordance with the criteria laid down in the Treaty on European Union. In this context they also refer to the Resolution of 1 February 1993 on a Community programme of policy and action in relation to the environment and sustainable development.

Conscious of the attachment of the new Member States to the preservation of the standards they have implemented in certain fields, owing in particular to their special geographical and climatic conditions, the Contracting Parties have agreed, exceptionally and for specific cases, on a procedure for examining the existing 'acquis communautaire`, with the full participation of the new Member States, under the terms and conditions laid down in the Accession Treaty.

Without prejudice to the outcome of the agreed examination procedure, the Contracting Parties undertake to make every endeavour to conclude that procedure before the expiry of the transitional period laid down. At the end of the transitional period, the entire 'acquis communautaire` will be applicable in the new Member States under the same conditions as in the present Member States of the Union.

7. Joint Declaration on Articles 32, 69, 84, and 112 of the Act of Accession

The Contracting Parties recall that in the Ministerial meeting of 21 December 1993 the Conferences noted that:

- the goal of the agreed solution is to take decisions before the end of the transitional period;

- the review of the acquis communautaire shall be without prejudice to the result;

- when undertaking the review the Union will also take into account the criteria laid down in Article 130r(3) of the EC Treaty.

8. Joint Declaration on the institutional procedures of the Accession Treaty

In adopting the institutional provisions of the Accession Treaty, the Member States and the applicant countries agree that, as well as examining the legislative role of the European Parliament and the other matters envisaged in the Treaty on European Union, the Intergovernmental Conference to be convened in 1996 will consider the questions relating to the number of members of the Commission and the weighting of the votes of the Member States in the Council. It will also consider any measures deemed necessary to facilitate the work of the Institutions and guarantee their effective operation.

9. Joint Declaration on Article 172 of the Act of Accession

The Contracting Parties note that any amendment to the EEA Agreement and the Agreement between the EFTA States on the establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice needs the consent of the contracting parties concerned.

The Plenipotentiaries have taken note of the exchange of letters on the arrangement regarding the procedure for adopting certain decisions and other measures to be taken during the period preceding accession which has been reached within the Conference between the European Union and the States which have applied for accession to that Union and which is annexed to this Final Act.

A. Joint Declarations: The present Member States / Kingdom of Norway

10. Joint Declaration on management of fisheries resources in waters north of 62° N

The Contracting Parties note the vulnerable and sensitive eco-system of the Barents Sea and northern waters, and recognize the vital need to maintain sound management, based on sustainable conservation and optimal utilisation of all stocks in these waters.

They agree that upon the integration of these waters into the common fisheries policy (CFP), such integration shall be based on the existing management regime in order to continue and improve current technical, control and enforcement standards.

They agree that established regional marine research and scientific institutions close to the relevant waters should continue to make important contributions to the decision-making process in order to provide for rapid and necessary management decisions within the framework of the CFP.

They agree that the negotiations with Russia conducted within the framework of the CFP should be inspired by the principles and practices developed in the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission.

They agree that the present system, whereby consultation with interested fisheries organisations are carried out before negotiations with Russia take place, should be maintained.

They further agree that management objectives and measures include:

- that due account be taken of the interrelationship between stocks in a multi-species, management perspective,

- that the management of pelagic stocks should take into account that such species constitute an important source of food for other species,

- that optimal and stable outtake of the stocks should be ensured, in the long term,

- that when fixing the TAC for a stock, due account should be taken of the conservation of the spawning stock to ensure sufficient recruitment,

- that catches of demersal stocks considered to be within safe biological limits, should be kept within the reproductive ability of the stock and take due account of the special conditions relevant for each individual stock,

- that for demersal stocks outside safe biological limits, measures should be taken to rebuild the stock to sustainable level, also taking into account the minimum requirements of the fishing industry,

- that considerable significance will continue to be attached to the advice of the Advisory Committee on Fisheries Management (ACFM).

The Contracting Parties recognize that the special interests of Norway as the coastal state in waters North of 62° N and of all parties concerned must be taken into account in the future management of these waters according to the rules of the common fisheries policy.

In addition, and as a temporary derogation to the rules in order to encourage a gradual integration of Norway to the CFP, the Contracting Parties have agreed that from the date of accession:

1. Norway is authorized to establish TAC levels and to maintain its fisheries agreement with Russia for a transitional period until 1 July 1998 at the latest; during this transitional period, the establishment of TAC levels and the management of this agreement is ensured by Norway in close association with the Commission;

2. Norway can maintain in these waters on a non-discriminatory basis its current system of:

- technical regulations for a transitional period of 1 year,

- a discard ban for a transitional period of 3 years,

- control measures, and in particular the closing and opening of sensitive areas for a transitional period of 3 years.

During these transitional periods, the Union will examine how best these regulatory mechanisms can be integrated into the common fisheries policy.

11. Joint Declaration on the 12-mile limit

The Contracting Parties recognize the major importance to Norway of the maintenance of viable fishing communities in coastal regions. When reviewing the present arrangements on access to waters within the 12-mile limit in order to decide on future arrangements, the institutions of the Union will pay special attention to the interests of such communities in the Member States.

12. Joint Declaration on ownership of fishing vessels

The Contracting Parties take note of the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and recognize that, in the context of the common fisheries policy, one of the aims of the system of national quotas, which are allocated to Member States according to the principle of relative stability, is to safeguard the particular needs of regions where local populations are especially dependent on fisheries and related industries.

That aim may justify conditions designed to ensure that there is a real economic link between vessels fishing against the quotas of a Member State and that Member State, if the purpose of such conditions is that the populations dependent on fisheries and related industries should benefit from the quotas.

13. Joint Declaration on the supply of raw material for the fish processing industry in northern Norway

The Contracting Parties note the request of the Kingdom of Norway regarding the supply of raw material for the fish processing industry in northern Norway and recognize the need to ensure a satisfactory balance in supplies in the light of the special situation for that industry. This is to be duly taken into account when the Union establishes autonomous tariff quotas for fish for the processing industry following Norway's accession.

14. Declaration on Article 147 on the Norwegian food processing industry

The Contracting Parties took note of the following Declaration made by the Commission:

'When examining a possible request from Norway for measures to be taken in the event of serious market disruptions, the Commission shall take account of the particular restructuring problem of the Norwegian food processing industry and shall ensure that any necessary measure is taken sufficiently promptly to prevent long-term damage.

The measures taken by the Commission may include, during a period of 3 years, a monitoring system and indicative ceilings allowing that the opening of the market will not create such disturbances as could hamper the necessary restructuring of the food processing sector in Norway for the following products produced from indigenous primary agricultural commodities: meat products, flour, compound feeding stuffs, processed peas and carrots and dairy products with the exception of butter, skimmed milk powder and soft cheese.`.

15. Joint Declaration on Svalbard

The Contracting Parties agree that the access of the fleets ot the EU Member States to the fisheries resources in the waters up to 200 miles around Svalbard, to harvest the fishing quotas decided by the Union, will remain unchanged in accordance with the present fishery status quo.

The Parties furthermore agree that the living resources in the said waters must be managed in such a way as to provide for a permanent and sustainable yield to the benefit of the EU Member States reflecting their fishing rights in these waters. In particular, such management shall not impair the opportunity of the fleets of the EU Member States to catch their full quotas and shall fully respect the conduct of normal fishing operations.

B. Joint Declarations: The present Member States / Republic of Austria

16. Joint Declaration on the free movement of workers

Should the accession of Austria give rise to difficulties relating to the free movement of workers, the matter may be brought before the institutions of the Union in order to obtain a solution to this problem. This solution will be in strict accordance with the provisions of the Treaties (including those of the Treaty on European Union) and the provisions adopted in application thereof, in particular those relating to the free movement of workers.

17. Joint Declaration on safeguard measures under the agreements with countries of Central and Eastern Europe

1. The 'Europe` agreements between the Communities and their Member States and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe include provisions for the Communities to take appropriate safeguard measures, under certain conditions laid down in these Agreements.

2. In examining and adopting measures under such provisions, the Communities may invoke the situation of producers, or of regions, in one or more of its Member States.

3. The Community rules concerning the implementation of safeguard measures, including the management of Community quotas, ensure that the interests of the Member States are fully taken into account in accordance with the appropriate procedures.

21. Joint Declaration on Articles 6 and 76 of the Act of Accession

The Republic of Austria and the Community confirm their intention to ensure, through appropriate negotiations, that, from the date of accession, hauliers from third countries, in particular from Slovenia and Switzerland, will not enjoy more favourable treatment than EU-hauliers in respect of the transit of heavy goods vehicles through Austrian territory.

Should there be, as a result of accession, a disproportionate decrease in the production volumes of other main commodities, then the number of animals eligible for the suckler-cow premium for Norway and Finland will be re-examined.

30. Joint Declaration: Finland, Sweden: on the fishing possibilities in the Baltic Sea

The Contracting Parties note that the allocation of fishery resources in Community waters of the Baltic Sea was calculated on the basis of the reallocation to the Parties of fishing possibilities transferred to the former USSR and to Poland in the reference period.

IV.

The Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden shall take the necessary measures to ensure that their accession to the agreements or conventions referred to in Articles 4 (2) and 5 (2) of the Act concerning the conditions of accession and the adjustments to the Treaties coincides so far as possible, and under the conditions laid down in that Act, with the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession.

Insofar as the agreements or conventions referred to in Article 3, the second sentence of Article 4 (1) and in Article 4 (2) exist only in draft, have not yet been signed and probably can no longer be signed in the period before accession, the acceding States will be invited to be associated, after the signature of the Treaty of Accession and in accordance with appropriate procedures, with the preparation of those drafts in a positive spirit and in such manner as to facilitate their conclusion.

With regard to the negotiation of the Protocols of transition and of adjustment with the co-contracting countries referred to in Articles 59, 76, 102, and 128 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession, the representatives of the acceding States shall be associated with the work as observers, side by side with the representatives of the present Member States.

Certain non-preferential agreements concluded by the Community, which remain in force after 1 January 1995, may be the subject of adaptations or adjustments in order to take account of the enlargement of the Union. These adaptations or adjustments will be negotiated by the Community in association with the representatives of the acceding States in accordance with the procedure referred to in the preceding paragraph.

VI.

The institutions shall, in due course, draw up the texts referred to in Article 170 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession and the adjustments to the Treaties.

On that occassion the Kingdom of Belgium made the following declaration:

'By signing this Treaty on behalf of the Kingdom of Belgium, both the Belgian federal authorities and the French-speaking Community, Flemish Community and German-speaking Community of Belgium, the Wallonian Region, the Flemish Region and the Brussels Region have entered into an undertaking at international level.`

The other States signatory to the Treaty of Accession made the following declaration:

'The other States signatory to the Treaty of Accession understand that the unilateral declaration by Belgium is an explanation of Belgian constitutional law, which cannot prejudice the fact that the Kingdom of Belgium alone is a Contracting Party to this Treaty and therefore alone responsible vis-à-vis the other signatory States for fulfilling the obligations which it has assumed in this Treaty as a Member State of the European Union.`

The Kingdom of Belgium confirmed that this was indeed the case.

These minutes will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
