THIRD ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL
to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community
THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,
of the one part, and
THE SWISS CONFEDERATION,
of the other part,
HAVING REGARD to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, hereinafter called ‘the Agreement’, and to the Additional Protocol to that Agreement consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities, signed in Brussels on 14 July 1986,
CONSIDERING that a total suspension by the Swiss Confederation of duties on imports from Spain of products covered by the Agreement would facilitate trade between the two countries;
CONSIDERING however that the Additional Protocol does not make provision for Switzerland to suspend customs duties on goods imported from Spain;
CONSIDERING that no further measures are necessary in trade between Switzerland and Portugal since duties on products covered by the Agreement imported into Switzerland from Portugal had already been abolished prior to that country's accession to the Community;
HAVE DECIDED by common accord to provide for the total suspension of duties on products covered by the Agreement imported into Switzerland from Spain, and
TO CONCLUDE THIS PROTOCOL:
Article 1
The collection of customs duties applicable in Switzerland, pursuant to Article 3 and Article 5 (3) of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement, on products imported from Spain shall be totally suspended.
Article 2
This Protocol forms an integral part of the Agreement.
Article 3
This Protocol shall be approved by the Contracting Parties in accordance with their own procedures. It shall enter into force on the first day of the second month following the date on which the Contracting Parties have notified each other that the procedures necessary to this end have been completed.
Article 4
This Protocol is drawn up in duplicate, in the Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish languages, each of these texts being equally authentic.
