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 onepart, and the Republic of Lithuania, of the other part(
1), herein-
after referred to as the ‘Europe Agreement’, provides for certainconcessions for certain agricultural products originating in
Lithuania.
(2)The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the
Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjustingtrade 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 the
outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture,
including improvements to the existing preferential agree-ments(
2).
(3)Improvements to the preferential arrangements of the EuropeAgreement were also provided for, in the form of an autonomousand transitional measure pending a second adjustment of the
relevant provisions of the Europe Agreement, as a result of a
first round of negotiations to liberalise the agricultural trade.The improvements entered into force as from 1 January 2001 inthe form of Council Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 of 14December 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form ofCommunity tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and
providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional
measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in theEurope Agreement withLith uania(
3). The second adjustment of
the relevant provisions in the Europe Agreement, which will takethe form of another Additional Protocol to the Europe Agree-
ment, has not yet entered into force.
(4)A new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on trade
liberalisation 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 and
transitional 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(
4).

2. The minimum import prices, as set out in point 1, will be respected on a
consignment-by-consignment basis. In the case of a customs declaration
value being lower than the minimum import price, a countervailing duty
will be charged equal to the difference between the minimum import priceand the customs declaration value.
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 Lithuanian authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.
4. At the request of either the Community or Lithuania, the Association Council
shall examine the functioning of the system or the revision of the level of the2002R1361 — EN — 01.07.2002 — 000.001 — 18

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.2002R1361 — EN — 01.07.2002 — 000.001 — 19
