Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the conclusion of the Agreement in the form of the Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway concerning additional trade preferences in agricultural products reached on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) provides for progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade between Contracting Parties. To that end, Parties will carry out, at two-yearly intervals, reviews of the conditions of trade in agricultural products and decide, within the framework of this agreement, on a preferential, bilateral or multilateral, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis, on further reduction of any type of barriers to trade in the agricultural sector.

Last agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Community based on article 19 of the EEA Agreement came into force in July 2003. It comprised the arrangements for reciprocal trade in cheese and mutual concessions for a variety of agricultural products, including tariff quotas.

The present proposal is the result of bilateral trade negotiations in agriculture, conducted from March 2008 to January 2010. The arrangement provides for further liberalisation of agricultural trade. The new preferences will consist in additional full liberalisation for some sensitive products, thus allowing some 60% of agricultural trade between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union being completely free. For more sensitive products such as meat, dairy, fruit, vegetable and ornamental plants, tariff quotas or tariff reductions have been agreed upon. Specific provisions are foreseen as regards the management of tariff rate quotas for cheese.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION

The loss of customs revenues is estimated at approximately 4.96 M€ (net amount after deduction of collection costs).

On the basis of the above mentioned, the Commission proposes the Council to designate the person(s) empowered to conclude the Agreement on behalf of the European Union.

ANNEX AGREEMENT in the form of the Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway concerning additional trade preferences in agricultural products reached on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area

A. Letter from the European Union

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway on bilateral trade in agriculture, concluded on 28 January 2010.

A new round of agricultural trade negotiations between the European Commission and Norway were undertaken on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (the EEA Agreement), with a view to furthering progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade among the European Union and Norway (the Parties), on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis. The negotiations were carried out on an orderly basis, with due consideration to the evolution of respective agricultural policies and circumstances, including the evolution of bilateral trade, as well as trade conditions with other trading partners worldwide.

I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

4. Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex I.

5. Norway undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex II.

6. Norway undertakes to reduce import duties on products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex III.

7. The European Union undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in Norway, listed in Annex IV.

8. The European Union undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in Norway, listed in Annex V.

9. Tariff codes set out in Annexes I to V refer to those applicable in the Parties on 1 January 2009.

10. Whenever a future WTO agreement on agriculture is implemented with commitments for new most favoured nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas into Norway on swine meat of 600 tons, poultry meat of 800 tons and beef meat of 900 tons, as provided in Annex II, will be phased out in accordance with the same steps as the phasing in of the WTO quotas covering the same products.

11. The Parties agree to consolidate, as soon as possible, all bilateral concessions (the ones already existing and the ones foreseen in this Exchange of Letters) in a new Exchange of Letters, which should replace existing bilateral agricultural agreements.

12. The rules of origin for the purpose of implementing the concessions referred to in Annexes I to V are set out in Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992. However, Annex II to Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement shall be applied instead of the Appendix to Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992.

13. The Parties will take steps to ensure that the benefits, which they grant each other, will not be jeopardised by other restrictive import measures.

14. The Parties agree to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that tariff quotas will be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported.

15. The Parties agree to strive for promoting trade of products with a geographical indication. The Parties agree to engage into further bilateral discussion with a view to better understand respective legislation and registration procedures, in order to identify ways to enhance the protection of respective geographical indications in the territories of both Parties and will look into the possibility to engage into a bilateral agreement to that purpose.

16. The Parties agree to exchange at regular interval information on traded products, tariff quota management, price quotations and any useful information concerning the respective domestic markets and the implementation of the results of these negotiations.

17. Consultations will be held at the request of either party on any question relating to the implementation of the results of these negotiations. In case of difficulty in the implementation of the results of these negotiations, these consultations will be held as promptly as possible, with a view to the adoption of appropriate corrective measures.

18. The Parties note that the Norwegian customs authorities intend to review the structure of Chapter 6 in the Norwegian customs tariff. Consultations will be held with the European Commission if bilateral preferences will be influenced by this review. The Parties agree that this will be a technical exercise.

19. The Parties reaffirm their commitment in accordance with the provisions of Article 19 of the EEA Agreement to continue their efforts with a view to achieving progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade. To this end, the Parties agree to carry out in two years time a new review of the conditions of trade in agricultural products, with a view to explore possible concessions.

20. As regards the current tariff quota of 4500 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, the Parties agree that the current administration of this tariff quota based on historical rights and newcomers principle should be replaced from 2014 by a management system other than auctioning, such as licensing or first come first served system, for which modalities should be established by Norwegian authorities after consultations with the European Commission in view to a mutual understanding, in order to ensure that the tariff quotas will be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly, and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. The current administration on basis of a cheese list, as referred to in the Exchange of Letters of 11 April 1983, shall be abolished.

Concerning the management of the new tariff quota of 2700 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, the Parties agree it will fall under an auctioning system. The administration by auctioning will be reviewed as set out in the preceding paragraphs. In particular, quota fill and auction fees will be assessed.

The tariff quotas of 7200 tons of cheese on imports into the European Union and Norway shall apply to all types of cheese.

21. In case of further enlargement of the EU, the Parties will assess the impact on bilateral trade, with a view to adapt bilateral preferences in a way that pre-existing preferential trade flows between Norway and acceding countries can continue.

This Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters shall enter into force on the first day of the second month following the date of the deposit of the last instrument of approval.

I have the honour to confirm that the European Union is in agreement with the content of this letter.

I would be grateful if you could confirm the agreement of your Government to the above.

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

Done at Brussels,

For the European Union,

On behalf of the Council of the EU

B. Letter from the Kingdom of Norway

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of […] which reads as follows:

"I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway on bilateral trade in agriculture, concluded on 28 January 2010.

A new round of agricultural trade negotiations between the European Commission and Norway were undertaken on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (the EEA Agreement), with a view to furthering progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade among the European Union and Norway (the Parties), on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis. The negotiations were carried out on an orderly basis, with due consideration to the evolution of respective agricultural policies and circumstances, including the evolution of bilateral trade, as well as trade conditions with other trading partners worldwide.

I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

22. Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex I.

23. Norway undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex II.

24. Norway undertakes to reduce import duties on products originating in the European Union, listed in Annex III.

25. The European Union undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in Norway, listed in Annex IV.

26. The European Union undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in Norway, listed in Annex V.

27. Tariff codes set out in Annexes I to V refer to those applicable in the Parties on 1 January 2009.

28. Whenever a future WTO agreement on agriculture is implemented with commitments for new most favoured nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas into Norway on swine meat of 600 tons, poultry meat of 800 tons and beef meat of 900 tons, as provided in Annex II, will be phased out in accordance with the same steps as the phasing in of the WTO quotas covering the same products.

29. The Parties agree to consolidate, as soon as possible, all bilateral concessions (the ones already existing and the ones foreseen in this Exchange of letters) in a new Exchange of Letters, which should replace existing bilateral agricultural agreements.

30. The rules of origin for the purpose of implementing the concessions referred to in Annexes I to V are set out in Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992. However, Annex II to Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement shall be applied instead of the Appendix to Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992.

31. The Parties will take steps to ensure that the benefits, which they grant each other, will not be jeopardised by other restrictive import measures.

32. The Parties agree to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that tariff quotas will be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported.

33. The Parties agree to strive for promoting trade of products with a geographical indication. The Parties agree to engage into further bilateral discussion with a view to better understand respective legislation and registration procedures, in order to identify ways to enhance the protection of respective geographical indications in the territories of both Parties and will look into the possibility to engage into a bilateral agreement to that purpose.

34. The Parties agree to exchange at regular interval information on traded product
