PART ONE
TheEFTA countries (excluding Portugal )
Ingeneral terms alltheEFTA countries welcomed theaccession ofGreece
totheCommunity asanimportant step instrengthening European democratic
structure andinthefurther promotion offree trade inEurope .TheCommission
I
explained ingreat detail the "acquis "oftheEEC–Greece Accession negotiations
intheexternal relations sector and theEPTA countries raised anumber of
general problems common toallcountries andanumber ofspecific individual
problems . . ,
Problems common .toallEFTA countries ' . 'v
Theprincipal demand ofallEFTA countries wasthat ,from thedate of '
Greek accession ,they "should receive the same treatment ontheGreek market
for "their exoorts toGreece ofgoods qualifying forpreferential treatment'
under their Free Trade Agreements with theCommunity asexports toGreece from
Community countries will receive ,both inthetariff andnon-tariff -fields .
They consider that anydifferent treatment would have adistortionary and
harmful effect ontrade flows inEurope andwould beincompatible with
thecommon aimofpromoting free trade between theenlarged Community and
EFTA countries .Moreover ,they donotconsider that there areanyconvincing
economic arguments tojustify differential treatment ontheGreek market after
Greek accession *
There are .three areas where theEFTA countries consider they arebeing
"discriminated "against : " \
1.Basic duties forthe "22year list "products -dismantlement ofresidual
tariffs .
(a)TheAgreement intheEEC-Greece Conference
During theEEC-Greece Accession negotiations theCommunity andGreece
agreed tothefollowing position .TheEFTA countries would beasked
tofully apply thefree Trade Agreements toGreece from thedate of
accession .Inreturn ,Greece upon accession would abolish customs duties
for'allproducts forwhich shehasabolished duties towards theCommunity
(the12year listproducts )andwould gradually dismantle theresidual

„dutie-s(for"theso-called22yearlistproducts)luringthefiveyear^
transitionalperiod.Thusgradualtariffdismantlement would>takeplacefor\

totheCommunityarenottheGreekthird-countrydutiesbut,/theduties
whichhavebeengraduallyreducedundertheEEC-GreeceAssociationAgreement '
asactuallyappliedon1.7«1980.
(b)ThepositionoftheEFTAcountries
TheEFTAcountriesconsiderthattheyshouldreceivethesametreatment 'j

reductions Between Greece andtheComirunity have always "been "biased
inGreece 'sfavour andinaddition theCommunity hasgranted Greece
f-nancial aidunder twofinancial protocols .Thesame arrangements
have notexisted between Greece ;.f.ndth8Community' spreferential
partners .Greece moreover hadproposed initially 'during theaccession
negotiations that customs duties forallproducts towards theCommunity 's
preferential partners should heprogressively dismantled .Itwasonly
with great difficulty that Greece finally agreed todismantle tariffs
immediately towards allpreferential partners ,forallproducts noton
the "22year list",i.e. forthe "12year list"products orproducts for
which Greece nolonger applies customs duties ongoods imported from
tb© Comnrariity ,
ForGreece togrant theEFTA countries (andother preferential partners )
rVisame treatment astotheCommunity ,would mean aninitial ,relatively
considerable reduction ofGreek duties towards alltheEEC'spreferential
partners ,tobring these duties down tothe level ofGreek duties' towards
therest oftheCommunity .Itmust befeared that -this would constitute
too great andsudden astrain forawide range ofeconomic sectors and
/
could have serious consequences both intrie short andlong term .The _
proposed progressive transitional arrangements for general dismantlement
ofGreek tariffs ataneven rate will help toensure the smooth adjustment
to ,■ thefull impact oftheapplication byGreece oftheFTAsand
other preferential agreements .Itisofgreat importance toensure asgreat
avolume offree trade aspossible between Greece andtheEFTA countries as
quickly aspossible ,bv^t this should notbedone attheexpense ofexposingrisks of
theGreek economy to/serious damages .
Thus inconclusion ,while theCommission acknowledges that Greece will be
♦
granting theEFTA States aslightly different customs treatment during the "
5-year transitional period (adifference which will besteadily diminishing
during theperiod ),itcannot inanywayaccept that thisisunjustified .
%
2.Indicative ceilings
(a)Agreement intheAccession Conference
Greece hasrequested toapply indicative ceilings towards certain EFTA
countries (andother preferential partners )forasmall number of
textile andother industrial products during the5-year transitional
period .Intheaccessicfa negotiations theCommunity accepted topropose
this tothepreferential partners concerned .

Individual problems onacountry bycountry ""basis
Austria .
(i)Agriculture
Intheagricultural field Austria proposed that theexisting arrangements
.relating toagricultural products should beadjusted .They consider that as
aresult of"theapplication byGreece oftheCommon Agricultural Policy ,Austrian
agricultural exports toGreece will decrease whereas Greek exports ofagricultural
products toAustria notably fruit ,vegetables andwine ,will befacilitated by
thp®x^hange ofletters of21.7.72 . • _ '
While recognising that theCommunity letter granting preferential
u '>;.ousconcessions toAustria requires noadaptation ,Austria considers
•He.',-ueAustrian letter granting concessions totheCommunity should be
adapted totake account oftrade with Greece . . .
Underlying this attitude ,isAustria 'sdesire toobtain further
agricultural concessions from theCommunity ,notably inthebeef andmilk
tor3.,Inreturn ,Austria wasready todiscuss possible modifications
oftheshare ,-reserved fortheCommunity ,ofthevolume oflicences
issued fortheimportation offresh fruit andvegetables during the
quota period setbytheAustrian import system .
i
Commission position
Thequestion ofanymodification totheagricultural arrangements with
theEFTA countries onaccount ofGreek accession wasdiscussed during the
EEC-Greece accession negotiations andtheCouncil decided asproposed by
theCommission that theexisting arrangements should notbealtered .The
Commission continues toconsider that there isnojustification foranyadjustments
totheexchange o.fletters .However ,itmust beleft open atthemoment whether any
adjustments should bemade tothetariff quotas for cattle ofcertain mountain
races which the -
ICommunity grants intheframework ofGATT .This question will bedealt with inthe
context oftheArticle XXIv/6oftheGATT eventually .

(ii)ProcessedAgricultural .Producers

Norway . '
Inaddition tothequestion offish ,Norway together with Sweden stated
that serious difficulties .could beexpected fortheir textile industries ,
ifGreek textile exports wer6 to "begranted free entry totheir markets
from the date ofGreece 'saccession tothe'Community .These industries
,have regressed tosuch anextent that anyfurther reduction ofcapacity
wasunacceptable •
TheSwedish delegation presented figures indicating astrong growth in
Greek textile exports toSweden inpast years andconsidered this question
ought to "bethesubject ofvery serious discussions during thenegotiations .
TheNorwegian delegation "brought forwardthe idea ofprogressive dismantlement
cfITo.-v-e^ain tariffs vis-a-visGreece onsuch products ,over aperiod longer
"ohan -he5year transitional period ,oralternatively theintroduction by
Norway ofceilings fortextile imports from Greece ,during asimilar period .
Commission position
TheCommission took note ofthese statements andwould suggest that a
possible solution tothis textiles question could befound intheinclusion
ofaspecial safeguard mechanism intheprotocols .However ,there canbeno
question ofanysafeguard clause extending beyond the 5year transitional
period assuggested byNorway .
Sweden /
Apart from thepreoccupations mentioned above ,Sweden indicated that she
hastheright towithdraw herunilateral concessions intheagricultural field
and inparticular inthe fish sector .
TheCommission would point outthat the1972 negotiations hadledto
apackage deal including both anindustrial andanagricultural part (including
/
beef ,horticulture anddairy products ).
Switzerland '
• . général
Inaddition "tothe/points mentioned above which Switzerland raised with
thesame vigour asother EFTA countries ,theCommission mentioned the
request that Greece maybeallowed toretain thequota of25000hiofred
wine which Switzerland atpresent grants toGreece .Inreply Switzerland said
that acceptance ofthis request wasdependant onSwitzerland receiving overall
satisfaction intheforthcoming negotiations .

OTHER MATTERS RELATING TOEXPLORATORY TALKS
Global quotas and ceilings
.Austria ,Switzerland andNorway '-■uggesiad that itwould "bepreferable
iftheGreek import quotas inrespect oftheEFTA countries (except Portugal )
were global quotas c<3vering allthese -countries .andnotbilateral quotas for
each EFTA Country individually .Sweden could accept this idea ,andFinland -*
although having aslight preference forbilateral quotas ,could also' accept
this suggestion .Moreover Greece hasdeclared herself infavour ofglobal
quotas .' \ '
-- /
.Hemission position . < .
Ti;b Cr:.amiss ionconsiders that thelowlevel oftraditional trade for some ;
of "Jigproducts which will besubject totransitional quotas would insome cases
i;,.i , Kraal 1quotas being retained .-Therefore fortechnical reasons
1 .the - .theCon^iission isinfavour ofglobal quotas torfEFTA countries (except Portugal ).
forthose products which will besubject totransitional quantiative restrictions ^
aslaid down inAnnex III oftheAct ofAccession i.e. the14products .Asregards
indicative ceilings ,global ceilings maybeappropriate incertain cases .
With regards toproducts which arealready subject toceilings under theFree
Trade Agreement andforwhich Greece hasrequested indicative ceilings during
the5-year transitional period ,theCommission considers that aspecial ceiling
forGreece should becalculated when existing ceilings towards theEFTA countries
under theFTAs expire -in1984' since 'thetransitional period forGreece in
this sector does notexpire until 1.1.1986 .With regardvto products notsubject
toceilings under theFree Trade Agreements individual ceilings forGreece will
ofcourse benecessary from thedate ofAccession *

TheCommission very much regrets that Turkey hasnotparticipated in
exploratory talks butnevertheless feels that Turkey should beincluded in

transition andadaptation will eventually take place .

Cyprus pointed outthat theprovisions !governing thefirst stage ofthe
EEC-Cyprus Agreement would beexpiring on3}-»12.79 *Therefore anynegotiations
foraprotocol totake account ofGreek accession should take place inparallel
.with thenegotiations fordetermining EEC-Cyprus relations beyond 31.12.79 *
Cyprus ,while not objecting totheconclusion ofaprotocol ,indicated
their fears ofenlargement ingeneral andstated that Greece ,Portugal and
Spain were directly competitive with Cyprus .iCypnS considered that the 'improved
Community should thus grant/concessions toCyprus forcertain agricultural
products such as-potatoes ,grapes ,wines andciturs fruit tocompensate for

TheCommission considers that theremarks made byIsrael with aview to
on«^*sasring transitional measures fortheapplication byIsrael ofthetariff
.towards Greece

isj mapofci fcion toevaluate these remarks .This would involve a
detailed examination ofthe12year list andthe22year list products and
thelists annexed tothe various protocols attached totheEEC-Israel Agreement
which provide fortariff elimination by1.1.1985 with thepossibility of
extension to1.1.1989 .(itshould benoted that Greece will have completed
tariff elimination towards Israel forallproducts by1.1.1986 ).
Nevertheless inorder ,totakeaccount ofanydifficulties which may
beencountered byIsrael ,theCommission would beprepared toexamine during
thecourse ofnegotiations ,onaproduct byproduct basis ,anylistwhich
Israel might submit withaviewtotransitional tariff arrangements towards
Greece .
Withregard toIsrael 'sremarks concerning penetration premiums ,the
Commission would point out ,while innowayaccepting Israel 'sposition ,
thatsuchmatters donotfallwithin theframework ofthenegotiations of

and ceilings
Withregard totheremarks concerning quantiative restrictions /the
Commission 's .position regarding EFTA countries isalsoapplicable (seepages

Morocco
' S
Aninitial round ofexploratory "talks washeld with Morocco .During these
conversations Morocco particularly underlined thefact that itwasthe
enlargement toSpain that wasparticularly preoccuping herandtothis end
requested regular consultations during thecourse oftheEEC-Spain Accession
negotiations .Morocco didnothave anyparticular comments onGreek accession
hutmentioned herconcern inthetextile sector that Community policy would *
become more restrictive .Anaide-memoire waspromised concerning Greece "but
hasnotyet "been received .,
Álreria ,Tunisia ,Jordán ,Lebanon ,Syriá
None ofthese countries participated inexploratory talks .
However ,itwould appear that they wish totreat thequestion ofGreece >
•within thegeneral context ofenlargement andmost notably Spain .Underlying
this approach ,which hasbeen raised outside thecontext oftheexploratory
talks ,isaserious concern that theconsequences ofenlargement will .lead to
anerosion oftheir agreements .These countries (together with Israel ,Morocco
andEgypt )have expressed thedesire toexamine ,incommon with theCommunity
the 'consequences enlargement asawhole might have onthebalance oftheir
agreements with aview tomaking anynecessary economic adaptations .Consequently
they consider that simple technical adaptations ,such asareproposed bythe
Community with regard toGreek Accession ,areinsufficient . - .■ . "
Commission position
Insofar asthefears expressed bytheMediterranean partners regarding
theconsequences ofenlargement areconcerned ;theCommission would recall
theposition ithastaken onvarious occasions andmost recently inits . -
communication totheCouncil of21.6.1979 (CGM(79)330 final ).Asithas
" _ /
promised ,theCommission will submit assoon ae*-possible concrete proposals
inthis field . ' ' '

-23-
However ,thisshould notdelay theconclusion ofprotocols laying down
thetechnical adaptations oftheagreements made necessary byGreece 'saccession
aswell asthetransitional arrangements fortheapplication byGreece ofthese
agreements . ' ., . •
Anyrefusal bytheCommunity 'spreferential partners toaccept totreat
separately and atalater stage theproblem relating topossible economic
adaptations will beeven less justified because theconsequences ofGreek access–'
ionforthese countries will beofamarginal nature .Since I968 Greece hasenjoyed
free access forallitsindustrial exports totheCommunity (except EC3C
products which arenotcovered bytheEEC-Greece Association Agreements ).
Greece hasalso duty free butnotalways levy free *access for9Crfoofher .
agricultural exports . „ ; ;
Upon accession Greece will beopening upahitherto highly protected market
towards third countries .Atpresent Greece applies alarge number ofquantitative
import restrictions andmeasures of ,equivalent effect towards third countries .
Upon accession there will beanimmediate elimination ofnearly allquantitative
restrictions (except 14products )andmost measures ofequivalent effect toQRs
(allwill beeliminated by31.12.83 ).Moreover tariffs forthe12year list
«
products will beeliminated immediately ,andresidual tariffs over 5.years .
There canbenodenying that interms ofmarket access fortheexports of
Mediterranean partners toGreece ,theeffects canonly bepositive ,even though
the size ofthe Greek market isofcourse limited .
Thus there should benodifficulty ingeneral terms fortheMediterranean
partners toaccept toconclude protocols oftransition andadaptation totake ,
account ofGreek accession .Transition isrequired byGreece towards the
preferential partners because the -Community hasgranted transitional arrangements
toGreece inthesamesectors and/^preferential partners should /receive better
treatment than theCommunity ontheGreek ,market .Theabsence ofcomments
from these preferential partners regarding theconclusion ofprotocols to .
take account ofGreek accession canonly confirm theCommission 'spoint of
view .
