Community and the Polish People's Republic on trade and 
commercial and economic cooperation 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEM3RAND0M 
1. The attached proposal for a Council Decision is the legal instrument for 
the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economie Community 
and the Polish People's Bepuhlic on trade and commercial and economic 
cooperation. 
2. Exploratory talis have been held between experts representing the 
Commission and Poland since July 1986. The talis dealt in particular 
with. Poland's wish to facilitate access to the Community market for its 
exports by removing all quantitative restrictions applied specifically 
to Poland in accordance with the provisions of the Protocol for Poland's 
accession to the GATT. 
3. On the basis of the negotiating directives given by the Council on 
20 February this year, the Commission held four official negotiating 
sessions with Poland between March and July, in addition to numerous 
informal contacts. The text initialled at Warsaw on 8 August and 
attached to the proposal contains the following provisions: 
(a) the Osmmunity and Poland reaffirm their commitment to accord each 
other most-favoured-nation treatment in accordance with GATT rules. 
The Community further undertakes to remove or liberalize the 
quantitative restrictions it applies to Polish exports by 
31 December 1994 at the latest, subject to exceptions (Articles 2, 
7-9); 
(b) the Community and Poland accord p^^h other trade concessions for a 
limited number of agricultural products of which one party is the 
other party's main supplier (Article 12); 
(c) Poland undertakes to ensure non-discrlmlnatory treatment of 
Community firms for the purposes of commercial cooperation 
(Article 16 and Annex VI ; ; 
(d) economic cooperation is aimed, inter alia in the sectors listed in 
Article 18 (although this list is not exhaustive), at strengthening 
economic links, increasing trade between the parties and supporting 
structural changes in the Polish economy; 
(e) Article 20 sets up a Joint Committee and defines its tasks: it is to 
ensure the proper, functioning of the Agreement and recommend the 
measures it considers appropriate for achieving the Agreement's 
objectives. 
4. The Polish delegation has further drawn up a unilateral Declaration 
relating to the Protocol for the accession of Poland to the GAIT. In 
the Declaration, to be made at the signing of the Agreement, Poland 
announces its intention of renegotiating the said Protocol on account of 
the far-reaching changes which have taken place in its foreign trade 
system. 
- 2 -
5. In an Exchange of Letters, the parties agree to identify the products 
covered by the Annexes to the Agreement by means of NIHEXE codes. The 
Community will subsequently transpose the NIMEXE codes into Combined 
Nomenclature codes. A further Exchange of Letters concerns the 
experimental arrangements for granting import licences in the Federal 
Republic of Germany ('Testausschreltung"). Two further Joint 
Declarations, relating to quantitative restrictions and to agriculture, 
together with the Polish Declaration referred to in paragraph 4 above, 
will be concluded by means of a Final Act, these Declarations not being 
an integral part of the Agreement. 
6. Since the legal basis for the Agreement is not only Article 113 of the 
EEC Treaty, but also Article 235, Parliament must be consulted. 
7. The Commission invites the Council to adopt the attached proposal.

ASREHffiNT 
in the form of an Ezchange of Letters between the 
European Boonrmlo Community and the Polish People's Republic 
concerning 'Testausschredbung' 
A. Letter from the Community 
Brussels, 
Sir, 
Since the beginning of 1980 a new import scheme aimed at subsequent further 
liberalization ('Testausschreifcung') has been introduced by the Federal 
Republic of Germany covering almost 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. 
Th 'Testausschriebung' 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 'Testausschreihung', the particular importance which 
Poland attaches to the expansion of economic relations and Poland's 
contractual relations with the Community will be taken into consideration. 
If, in particular instances, as a result of Polish exports to the Federal 
Republic of Germany, market trends make it necessary to discontinue this 
practice, Poland will be informed to this effect immediately and prior 
ccncultation may take place if Poland 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. 
On behalf of the Council 
of the European Communities

JOINT DECLARATION ON ARTICLE 9 
The Community and Poland agree that the obligation contained in Article 9 
for the Community to open quotas for Imports from Poland of the products 
referred to in the said Article in no way prejudges the volume of the said 
import quotas. 
U 
JOINT DECLARATION 
ON THE COMMUNITY ARRANGEMENTS APPLICABLE 
TO IMPORTS OF YOUNG MALE BOVINE ANIMALS INTENDED FOR FATTENING 
ORIGINATING IN AND COMING FROM POLAND 
The Community and Poland agree that the suspension it 30X of the total levy 
shall apply to a maximum number of head of young maid bovine animals Intended 
for fattening to be fixed annually by the Council of the European Communities 
In accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) N 805/68 of 27 June 1968. 
The Community and Poland agree in drawing up the estimate to follow the 
cooperation procedure set out below : 
1. Commission staff will collect Information supplied by the Community 
Member States on their respective needs as regards animals for 
fattenIng. 
On the basis of this Information and their own forecasts, they will 
make an overall estimate of Community needs. 
2. This estimate will be communicated to the competent Polish 
author 11 ies . 
3. This will bs followed as soon as possible by meetings between the 
competent Polish authorities and Commission staff. The objectives of 
the8© meetings will be as follows : 
to exchange views on the whole situation of the beef 
market In the Community and the forecasts for production and 
consumptIon ; 
- to enable both sides to analyse the data used to estimate Community 
needs In respect of live animals for fattening; 
to exchange information on Poland's export 
opportun 11les. 
^. Following these meetings, the Commission will produce a draft estimate 
for transmission to the Council taking Into account alt the elements 
arising during the discussions which can be quantified on as realistic 
a basls as posa lb le. 
The draft estimate given to the Council will be accompanied by a 
document reflecting the substance of the views expressed by the 
participants about Community needs and their export opportunities. 
5. The estimate should be drawn up In such a way as to ensure regular 
supplies for the Community market and permit an Increase In Imports In 
proportion to any Increase In Community needs, taking Into account the 
foreseeable expansion of the market. 
In the light of these considerations, It Is expected that the annual 
level of Imports of animals for fattening under the estimate will show 
a tendency to rise over a period of eeveral years as Community needs 
Increase.

DECLARATION BY POLAND 
relating to the Protocol for the accession of Poland to the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 
The Government of the Polish People's Republic wishes to renegotiate the 
Protocol for its accession to the GATT. 
Poland's foreign trade system has been fundamentally changed as a result of 
the economic reform. The State's monopoly of foreign trade has been 
abolished, the allocation of currency is being decentralized and customs 
duties are now the main instrument for fixing the prices of imported goods. 
In view of the far-reaching changes to the country's economic environment, 
the conditions of the Protocol for Poland's accession to the G&TT no longer 
correspond to economic realities and it is essential that they should be 
changed. 
Poland intends to replace its undertaking concerning the volume of imports 
with tariff concessions; this would place Poland in an analagous position 
to that of all the other members of the GATT and, moreover, would enable 
Poland to make its full contribution to the process of liberalizing world 
trade and to the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. 
The Government of Poland, recognizing the European Economic Community's 
major role within the GATT, hopes that the Community will be able to 
support Poland's request for this matter to be brought before the 
Contracting Parties to the GATT.
