THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, andin particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:
(1)The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the
European Communities and their Member States, of the one
part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part(1), hereinafter
referred to as the ‘Europe Agreement’, provides for certainconcessions for certain agricultural products originating inLatvia.
(2)The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the
Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjusting
trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take account of theaccession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finlandand the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and theoutcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture,including improvements to the existing preferential arrange-
ments(
2).
(3)Improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe
Agreement were also provided for, as a result of a first roundof negotiations to liberalise agricultural trade. The improvementsentered into force as from 1 July 2000 in the form of Council
Regulation (EC) No 2341/2000 of 17 October 2000 establishing
certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas forcertain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, asan autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agriculturalconcessions provided for in the Europe Agreement withLatvia(
3). The second adjustment of the relevant provisions in
the Europe Agreement — which will take the form of another
Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement — has not yetentered into force.
(4)A new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on tradeliberalisation for agricultural products has been negotiated.
(5)A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an essentialpart of the results of the negotiations for the conclusion of anew Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement. It is thereforeappropriate to provide for the adjustment, as an autonomous andtransitional measure, of the agricultural concessions provided for
in the Europe Agreement.
(6)The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regula-
tion should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures forthe exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commis-
sion(

Code(1) codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed

fore be repealed,

3. If the import prices of a given product covered by this Appendix show a
trend suggesting that the prices could go below the level of the minimum
import prices in the immediate future, the European Commission will inform
the Latvian authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.
4. At the request of either the Community or Latvia, the Association Council
shall examine the functioning of the system or the revision of the level of
the minimum import prices. If appropriate, the Association Council shall
take the necessary decisions.
5. To encourage and promote the development of trade and for the mutual
benefit of all parties concerned, a consultation meeting may be organised
three months before the beginning of each marketing year in the European
Community. This consultation meeting will take place between the European
Commission and the interested European producers' organisations for the
products concerned, on the one part, and the authorities', producers' and
exporters' organisations of all the associated exporting countries, on the other
part.
During this consultation meeting, the market situation for soft fruit including,
in particular, forecasts for production, stock situation, price evolution and
possible market development, as well as possibilities to adapt supply to
demand, will be discussed.2002R1362 — EN — 01.07.2002 — 000.001 — 18
