COMMISSION COMMUNICATION TOTHE COUNCIL
onthenegotiations between the European
Economic Community and the Republic of
Cyprus for the conclusion ofaSupplementary
Protocol totheAssociation Agreement and a
Protocol laying down certain provisions relating
totrade inagricultural products
1. Negotiations between the Community and Cyprus for the conclusion
oftwoProtocols took place on22December 1977 andon24January and
14-15March 1978 .Thetexts ofthetwoProtocols ,ofadeclaration
and ofoneexchange ofletters tobeannexed tothe Final Act were
the subject on7.4.78 oftheattached exchange ofletters between the
Heads ofDelegation ,who indicated their agreement onthe contents
adreferendum .
2. During thenegotiations theCypriot Delegation laid stress on
theunsatisfactory nature ofthe concessions made bythe Community ,
given theimportance ofthe sector inquestion for the Cypriot economy
and the treatment formerly accorded tothe Cypriot agricultural products
oncertain community markets .Inthe Cypriot Delegation 'sview the
concessions were inadequate notably asregard potatoes and fresh grapes ,
andparticularly for1979 .
Thetexts oftheProtocols represent the results ofthe negotia­
tions conducted bytheCommission onthebasis ofthe Council 'sdirectives
ofDecember 1977 andthesupplementary directives ofMarch 1978 .
However ,since thevolumes ofthetariff quotas forcarrots and
fresh grapes provided for intheProtocol laying down certain provisions
relating totrade inagricultural products were made slightly bigger than
those indicated inthe directives .

3. The Delegations agreed toinclude intheminutes ofthe negotia­
tions certain clarifications made byboth sides (seeannex ).
4. The Commission recommends that the Council approve the results
ofthenegotiations and initiate theprocedures for the signature and
conclusion ofthe Protocols with Cyprus .
Tothat end the Commission transmits tothe Council herewith
arecommandation for aRegulation concluding theProtocole andadopting
thetexts thereof andprovisions fortheir implementation .
