AGREEMENT in the form of an exchange of letters relating to Article 9 of the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic

Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that pursuant to Article 9 (3) of the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic, signed on 19 December 1979, the Community has examined the Portuguese law governing wine covered by a registered designation of origin, to ascertain whether it is compatible with Community law in this field.

This examination which constituted a precondition for the granting of the tariff concessions provided for in Article 9, showed that the Portuguese law governing wine covered by a registered designation of origin, in so far as it relates to Verde and Dão wines, is equivalent to Community law.

I should be obliged if you would confirm that your Government is in agreement with the above.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date, which reads as follows:

AGREEMENT in the form of an exchange of letters derogating further from Article 1 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland

Brussels, ...

Sir,

The last sentence of Article 1 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland, signed on 22 July 1972, provides that the petroleum products in List C annexed to the Protocol do not fall within the scope of the latter.

To prevent this legal situation leading to application of different methods of administrative cooperation, I propose that it be agreed that, by way of derogation from the said sentence, the methods of administrative cooperation laid down in Protocol 3 will apply to these products as from 1 May 1981.

I should be grateful if you would inform me of your Government's agreement to this proposal.
