ANNEX 2

PROTOCOL 2

Concerning certain processed agricultural products

Article 1

General principles

1.   The provisions of the Agreement shall apply to products listed in Tables I and II unless otherwise specified in this Protocol.

2.   In particular, with respect to these products, the Contracting Parties may not levy customs duties on imports or charges having equivalent effect, including agricultural components, or grant export refunds or any refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect.

3.   The provisions of this Protocol shall likewise apply to the Principality of Liechtenstein until the application of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area to the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Article 2

Application of price compensation measures

1.   In order to take account of differences in the cost of the agricultural raw materials used in the manufacture of the products specified in Table I, the Agreement does not preclude the application of price compensation measures to these products; that is the levying of agricultural components upon import and the granting of export refunds or the granting of refunds, remissions or non-payments, partial or complete of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect.

2.   If a Contracting Party applies internal measures, which reduce the price of raw materials to processing industries, these measures shall be taken into account in the calculation of the price compensation amounts.

Article 3

Price compensation measures on imports

1.   Switzerland's basic amounts for the agricultural raw materials taken into consideration in calculating the agricultural components on imports shall neither exceed the difference between the Swiss domestic reference price and the Community's domestic reference price for the respective agricultural raw material nor the Swiss import duty actually applied for the agricultural raw material when imported as such.

2.   The Swiss import regime for products specified in Table I is laid down in Table IV.

3.   If the Swiss domestic reference price is lower than the Community's domestic reference price, the Community may introduce the price compensation measures as laid down in Article 2 that is the levying of agricultural components upon import, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1460/96 as subsequently amended.

Article 4

Price compensation measures on exports

1.   The Swiss export refunds or refunds, remissions or non-payments, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect for exports to the Community for products listed in Table I shall not exceed the difference between the Swiss domestic reference price and the Community's domestic reference price for the agricultural raw materials used in the manufacture of these products multiplied by the quantities actually used. If the Swiss domestic reference price is equal or lower than the Community's domestic reference price, the Swiss export refund or refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect shall be zero.

2.   If the Swiss domestic reference price is lower than the Community's domestic reference price, the Community may introduce the price compensation measures as laid down in Article 2 that is the granting of export refunds, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 as subsequently amended, or the granting of refunds, remissions or non-payments, partial or complete of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect.

3.   For sugar (HS headings 1701, 1702 and 1703) used in the manufacture of products listed in Table I and Table II the Contracting Parties may not grant any export refunds or any refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect.

Article 5

Reference prices

1.   The Community and Swiss domestic reference prices for agricultural raw materials mentioned in Articles 3 and 4 are listed in Table III.

2.   The Contracting Parties shall periodically, at least once every year, provide to the Joint Committee the domestic reference prices of all raw materials for which price compensation measures are applied. The domestic reference prices, which are provided, shall reflect the actual price situation in the territory of the Contracting Party. They shall be the prices normally paid at the wholesale or the manufacturing stage by processing industries. If an agricultural raw material is available to the processing industry, or to a part of it, at a price lower than the one otherwise ruling on the domestic market, the domestic reference prices provided shall be adjusted accordingly.

3.   The Joint Committee shall fix the domestic reference prices and the price differences, for agricultural raw materials listed in Table III on the basis of the information provided by the services of the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Administration. If necessary for the preservation of the relative preferential margins, the basic amounts of the agricultural raw materials listed in Table IV shall be adapted.

4.   The Joint Committee shall review the domestic prices for agricultural raw materials mentioned in Articles 3 and 4 that are listed in Table III prior to the application of this Protocol.

Article 6

Special provision on administrative cooperation

Special provisions on administrative cooperation are laid down in the Appendix to this Protocol.

Article 7

Amendments

The Joint Committee may decide to amend the tables, the appendices to the tables and the Appendix attached to this Protocol.
