A recommendation pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be addressed to the EFTA State or EFTA States comprising the relevant market in question. The Commission shall be informed of the issuance of such a recommendation. Within three months from the issuance of a recommendation pursuant to paragraph 1, all EFTA States addressees shall notify the EFTA Surveillance Authority whether they accept the recommendation.

If the two surveillance authorities agree on a relevant market and the appropriateness of adopting a measure pursuant to this provision, the Commission shall adopt a regulation addressed to the EC Member States and the EFTA Surveillance Authority a recommendation of corresponding substance to the EFTA State or EFTA States comprising the relevant market in question.” ’

of 19 November 2015

on the amendment of Appendices 1 and 2 to Annex 9 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products [2015/2292]

THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products, and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Agreement’) entered into force on 1 June 2002.

(2) The purpose of Annex 9 to the Agreement is to facilitate and foster the bilateral trade flow of organic products originating in the European Union and Switzerland.

The working group recommended to the Committee that the Appendices to Annex 9 be amended accordingly.

(4) Appendices 1 and 2 to Annex 9 should therefore be amended,
