COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 30.06.1997 
COM(97) 320 final 
97/0170 (ACC) 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
Concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters 
regarding a "Protocol on European Conformity Assessment Agreement" under the 
framework of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their 
Member States of the one part, and the Republic of Poland of the other part. 
(presented by the Commission) 

Explanatory memorandum 
The Polish certification system which came into force in 1995 required a long list of 
industrial products to be subject to an obligatory certification procedure in Poland 
thus creating difficulties to trade which have caused particular concern to the 
Community. 
The Association Committee of the Europe Agreement therefore found it essential to 
regulate the matter bilaterally by forming a Working Group on certification aimed at 
solving these problems. 
In that context, the need was felt to establish a global approach addressing the 
different issues of certification and to agree on a plan and time schedule for furthering 
the adoption by Poland of the European Union's principles in the field of 
standardisation and conformity assessment. This was translated into a "Protocol on 
European Conformity Assessment Agreement". 
This Protocol provides an organised framework for ensuring the recognition in Poland 
of products legally marketed and certified in the Community, for conducting an 
evaluation of the capacity of Polish conformity assessment bodies to certify in 
accordance with EU Directives with a view to concluding at a later stage European 
Conformity Assessment Agreements, for establishing a time-table for the 
approximation of Polish law to EC Directives in the field of certification and 
conformity assessment, as well as for providing Poland with the required technical 
assistance. 
The approach embedded in the Protocol on European Conformity Assessment 
Agreement has been considered as acceptable by the Member States within the 
Council Central European Group, and thereafter agreed by the Association Committee 
of 6-7 March 1997. 
The Commission initialed the text of the Protocol on European Conformity 
Assessment Agreement at the margins of the Association Committee on 7 March 
1997. 
It accordingly invites the Council to adopt the annexed proposal for a Council 
Decision aiming at formalising this approach through an exchange of letters.

''Sir, 
I have the honour to refer to the consultations which took place on 6-7 February 1997 
between the European Community and the Republic of Poland concerning the 
"Protocol on European Conformity Assessment Agreement ". 
I confim the agreement of the European Community on this "Protocol on European 
Conformity Assessment Agreement" annexed to this letter and which forms part of 
this letter. 
I should be obliged if you would confirm the agreement of the Republic of Poland to 
the contents of this letter. " 
I have the honour to confirm that the Republic of Poland is in agreement with the 
contents of this letter. 
On behalf of the Republic of Poland 
r 
Protocol on European Conformity Assessment Agreement 
1. In the framework of the Europe Agreement and, in particular, of its articles 68, 69, 
70 and 74, the declared objective of Poland is ultimately to apply the European Union 
standards and certification system. 
2. To this end, the co-operation between Poland and the EU will help Poland adopting 
the European Union's principles in the field of standards and conformity assessment 
in its own legal and regulatory corpus. 
3. To achieve this, as well as for the realisation of this protocol, the European 
Commission and Poland will act on an agreed plan and time schedule along the 
following lines. 
a) The European Commission will provide Poland with: 
• the necessary information and communication procedures; 
• technical advice, training as required and consulting; 
The Commission will study the possibility and will supply technical support, 
including special equipment, to upgrade the capacity and capability of the Polish 
laboratories and certification bodies. 
It is understood that technical and financial assistance will be provided in particular 
by the Phare programme, within the limits of available resources. 
Such assistance is implemented through the list of actions and programmes, with 
priorities indicated, specified in Annex 1. This list will be re-examined regularly and 
adapted according to the needs. The objective of this assistance is to help Poland 
progressively implement the Community legislation in the Polish legal system. 
b) The Parties decided that following an assessment of the technical competencies of 
the Polish Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) and testing laboratories, a 
European Conformity Assessment Agreement (ECAA) with sectoral annexes will be 
completed as a framework agreement. Both Parties declare their willingness to 
achieve positive results for such an agreement in 1997. 
For this purpose both Parties will proceed as follows: 
bl) The Polish side will specify in written form the CABs, including the categories of 
products for which they are competent, to be assessed. 
G 
b2) In the first half of 1997, the three first Polish CABs will be assessed by the 
relevant EU experts at the expense of the EU. The Polish side will specify those three 
CABs before the end of March 1997. The negotiations on an ECAA-framework shall 
start not later than 1 month after a positive evaluation of one of these CABs. An 
evaluation will be positive whenever a Polish CAB will fulfil the requirements 
established by the EC directives covering its area of competence. 
b3) Other CABs specified will also be assessed by the relevant EU experts at the 
expense of the EU. Thereafter, EU experts shall conclude their evaluation and produce 
a report within three months. 
b4) For those other CABs for which the evaluation is positive, negotiations on the 
concerned sectoral annexes of the ECAA shall start not later than 1 month after the 
evaluation. An evaluation will be positive whenever a Polish CAB will fulfil the 
requirements established by the EC directives covering its area of competence. 
b5) During the ECAA-negotiations, either on the framework agreement in relation to 
the first CABs or on the subsequent sectoral annexes of this agreement, the EU 
experts shall assess the level of approximation of Polish legislation to the relevant EC-
legislation covering the scope of competence of the given CAB. Negotiations will be 
concluded once the relevant Community legislation covering the area of competence 
of the CABs has been implemented. 
b6) The objective is to conclude negotiations on the ECAA for a first number of 
sectors before the end of 1997. The ECAA shall enter into force as soon as the 
internal procedures on both sides are completed including its publication in the 
Official Journals of both parties. 
b7) After the conclusion of a sectoral annex of the ECAA the Polish CAB will be 
designated by the Polish authorities and accordingly published in the Official Journal 
of the European Communities. Thereafter the products certified and tested in 
accordance with the relevant EC Directives by this corresponding Polish CAB will be 
automatically accepted in the EU as well as in Poland without any additional 
procedures. 
c) Poland declares its intention to introduce the relevant Community directives into its 
national leaal svstem as indicated in Annex 2. 
4. The Polish Party will effect all necessary changes to achieve an EU-compatible 
certification system through new legislation to be submitted by the government to the 
Parliament before the end of 1997. 
5. Having in mind technical support of the European Union and the recognition of 
Polish CABs, in the interim period until this legislation enters into force : 
a) for products originating in the EU which are subject to mandatory third party 
certification in the EU, the Polish Party will examine in order to recognise testing 
reports and certification documents produced by notified bodies in the EU. After 
checking the documents issued by the notified bodies in the EU, EU products will be 
automatically given a B-safety certificate by the Polish CABs at the latest within three 
weeks after presentation of .the relevant documents to the Polish CABs. The cost of 
this procedure is understood to be limited to normal administrative costs1 , i.e. only 
the administrative costs defined in the price list of the certification body. 
b) for products originating in the EU which are subject to declaration of conformity 
by the manufacturer in the EU, the Polish Government will present to the Parliament, 
before the end of May 1997, proposal for the necessary amendments to the law on 
testing and certification, in a view of its early adoption under the accelerated 
procedure. This proposal will allow for the acceptance in Poland of EC declaration of 
conformity of producers in the EU. As soon as these amendments are adopted such 
products will be automatically given a B-safety certificate2 by the Polish authorities at 
the latest within three weeks of presentation of such declarations. The cost of this 
procedure is understood to be limited to normal administrative cost1 i.e. only the 
administrative costs defined in the price list of the certification body. For products 
originating in Poland which are subject to declaration of conformity by the 
1 It is understood that the average administrative cost amounts to not more than 10% of the price of the 
whole certification procedure. 
2 or equivalent document as specified by the amended law on testing and certification 
manufacturer in accordance to EC Directives, it is confirmed that such products will 
continue to be accepted in the Community. 
c) for products originating in the EU which are not subject to any regulation or 
certification procedures in the EU, and which are subject to mandatory certification in 
Poland, the Polish Party undertakes to eliminate from the list of products subject to 
mandatory certification in Poland (as specified in Annex3): 
• a first group of products, consisting of more than half of the aforementioned 
products, before the end of March 1997, 
• the remaining products by the end of 1997. 
The products concerned have been specified by the EU in Annex 3. The Polish Party 
will inform the EU about the products removed from certification requirements after 
each reduction. 
d) in accordance with the provisions established in the above points, for those 
products subject to compulsory third party certification in the EU, the EU authorities 
will accept the EC certificates issued by the Polish conformity assessment bodies 
designated by the Polish authorities, under the European Conformity Assessment 
Agreement after the signature of this agreement by Poland and the EU, when the 
Polish conformity assessment bodies are deemed to be competent. 
e) nevertheless, complaints from citizens, public entities or enterprises on the safety 
and quality of marketed or certified products originating in the EU exported to Poland 
will be received by the Polish authorities, and may be notified to the European 
Commission providing all relevant information. In such cases, the parties shall 
immediately enter into consultations in order to find mutually acceptable solutions. 
6. In order to ensure an effective implementation of this agreement and an appropriate 
harmonisation of the Polish conformity assessment system with the EU standards, 
both parties will intensify their co-operation, in particular .with a view to encourage 
Poland's participation in the work of specialised organisations (CEN, Cenelec, ETSI, 
EOTC, EAL, EAC). 
7. Both parties will meet on a semestrial basis in order to review the progress made in 
the implementation of the above provisions. These meetings will provide for an 
opportunity to liaise and ask for clarifications about problems encountered in the trade 
Hows between both sides. 
5> 
8. The Polish party undertakes to put into place the appropriate legal provisions for 
the continuation of the non-application of sanctions. 
9. Both parties agree to formalise the present document through an exchange of 
letters.
