THIRD ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community

THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

of the one part, and

THE KINGDOM OF SWEDEN,

of the other part,

HAVING REGARD to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, hereinafter called ´the Agreement', and to the Additional Protocol to that Agreement consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities, signed in Brussels on 14 July 1986,

CONSIDERING that a total suspension by the Kingdom of Sweden of duties on imports from Spain of products covered by the Agreement would facilitate trade between the two countries;

CONSIDERING however that the Additional Protocol does not make provision for Sweden to suspend customs duties on goods imported from Spain;

CONSIDERING that no further measures are necessary in trade between Sweden and Portugal since duties on products covered by the Agreement imported into Sweden from Portugal had already been abolished prior to that country's accession to the Community;

HAVE DECIDED by common accord to provide for the total suspension of duties on products covered by the Agreement imported into Sweden from Spain, and

TO CONCLUDE THIS PROTOCOL:

Article 1 The collection of customs duties applicable in Sweden, pursuant to Article 3 and Article 5 (3) of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement, on products imported from Spain shall be totally suspended.

Article 2 This Protocol forms an integral part of the Agreement.

Article 3 This Protocol shall be approved by the Contracting Parties in

accordance with their own procedures. It shall enter into force on the first day of the second month following the date on which the Contracting Parties have notified each other that the procedures necessary to this end have been completed.

Article 4 This Protocol is drawn up in duplicate, in the Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish languages, each of these texts being equally authentic.
AGREEMENT in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Economic Community and the People's Republic of Bulgaria concerning 'Testausschreibung`

A. Letter from the Community

Sir,

Since the beginning of 1980, a new import scheme aimed at subsequent liberalization ('Testausschreibung`) has been introduced by the Federal Republic of Germany covering about half of the industrial products still subject to quantitative restrictions (apart from textile and steel products). This scheme provides on an experimental and temporary basis for the issue of import licences above and beyond the limits set by the quotas.

The 'Testausschreibung` is intended to permit an assessment, in the course of future years, of the sectors in which quantitative restrictions on imports of industrial products might be removed. During the examination of the results of the 'Testausschreibung`, the particular importance which Bulgaria attaches to the expansion of economic relations and Bulgaria's contractual relations with the Community will be taken into consideration.

In the event that, in particular instances, as a result of Bulgarian exports to the Federal Republic of Germany, market trends make it necessary to discontinue this practice, Bulgaria will be informed to this effect immediately and prior consultation may take place if Bulgaria so requests.

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.
