COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1727/2000
of 31 July 2000
establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas
for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an
autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions
provided for in the Europe Agreement with Hungary
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in
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 Hungary, of the other part (
1), provides for further
concessions for certain agricultural products originating in Hungary.
(2) Improvements to the preferential agreements of the Europe Agreement
with Hungary were provided for in the Protocol for the adaptation of
the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association
between the European Communities and their Member States, of theone part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part, to take intoaccount the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of
Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the
results of the agricultural negotiations of the Uruguay Round includingthe improvements of the existing preferential regime (
2). The Council
approved the abovementioned Protocol on behalf of the Community by
Council Decision 1999/67/EC (3).
(3) In accordance with the directives adopted by the Council on 30 March
1999, the Commission and the Republic of Hungary concluded on 14
April 2000 negotiations on a new Additional Protocol to the Europe
Agreement.
(4) The new Additional Protocol, which provides for additional agricul-
tural concessions, will be based on Article 20(5) of the Europe
Agreement, establishing that the Community and Hungary are toexamine in the Association Council, product by product and on an
ordely and reciprocal basis, the possibility of granting each other
further concessions.
(5) A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an essential part of
the results of the negotiations for the conclusion of a new Additional
Protocol to the Europe Agreement with Hungary.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to provide for the adjustment, as an
autonomous and transitional measure, of the agricultural concessions
provided for in the Europe Agreement with Hungary.
(7) The Republic of Hungary will make all useful legislative provisions,
on an autonomous and transitional basis, in order to enable a rapid and
simultaneous implementation of the adaptation of the agricultural
concessions of the Republic of Hungary provided for in the EuropeAgreement.
(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation
should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/ECof 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of
implementing powers conferred on the Commission (
4).
