Consultations between the Parties shall take place within the Joint Committee concerning  agreements establishing such customs unions or free trade areas and, where requested, on other  major issues related to their respective trade policy with third countries. In particular in the  event of a third country acceding to the Community, such consultations shall take place so as to  ensure that account can be taken of the mutual interests of the Community and the CSFR stated in  this Agreement. Article 22 (EA 28)Exceptional measures of limited duration which derogate from  the provisions of Article 4 and Article 19 (1) may be taken by the CSFR in the form of increased  customs duties.

Customs duties on imports applicable in the CSFR to products originating in the Community  introduced by these measures may not exceed 25  % ad valorem and shall maintain an element of  preference for products originating in the Community.

These measures shall be applied for a period not exceeding five years unless a longer duration is  authorized by the Joint Committee. They shall cease to apply at the latest at the expiration of the  transitional period. No such measures can be introduced in respect of a product if more than three years have elapsed  since the elimination of all duties and quantitative restrictions or charges or measures having an  equivalent effect concerning that product. The CSFR shall inform the Joint Committee of any exceptional measures it intends to take and, at  the request of the Community, consultations shall be held in the Joint Committee on such measures  and the sectors to which they apply before they are applied. When taking such measures the CSFR  shall provide the Joint Committee with a schedule for the elimination of the customs duties  introduced under this Article.

The Joint  Committee may decide on a different schedule.Article 23 (EA 29)If one of the Parties finds that  dumping is taking place in trade with the other Party within the meaning of Article  VI of the  General Agreement on tariffs and trade, it may take appropriate measures against this practice in  accordance with the Agreement relating to the application of Article VI of the General Agreement on  tariffs and trade, with related internal legislation and with the conditions and procedures laid  down in Article  27. Article 24 (EA 30)Where any product is being imported in such increased  quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause: -   serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive products in the territory  of one of the Parties, or- serious disturbances in any sector of the economy or difficulties which  could bring about serious deterioration in the economic situation of a region, the Community or the CSFR, whichever is concerned, may take appropriate measures under the  conditions and  in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article  27. Article 25 (EA  31)Where compliance with the provisions of Articles 7 and 19 leads to: (i)   re-export towards a third country against which the exporting Party maintains, for the  product concerned, quantitative export restrictions, export duties or measures having equivalent  effect, or(ii) a serious shortage, or threat thereof, of a product essential to the exporting  Party, and where the situations referred to above give rise, or are likely to give rise to major  difficulties for the exporting Party, that Party may take appropriate measures under the conditions  and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27. The measures shall be  non-discriminatory and be eliminated when conditions no longer justify their maintenance. Article  26 (EA 32)The Member States and the CSFR shall progressively adjust any State monopolies of a  commercial character so as to ensure that, by the end of the fifth year  following the entry into  force of this Agreement, no discrimination regarding the conditions under which goods are procured  and marketed exists between nationals of the Member States and of the CSFR. The Joint Committee  will be informed about the measures adopted to implement this objective. Article 27 (EA 33)1.     In the event of the Community or the CSFR subjecting imports of products liable to give rise to the  difficulties referred to in Article 24 to an administrative procedure having as its purpose the  rapid provision of information on the trend of trade flows, it shall inform the other Party. 2.    In the cases specified in Articles 23, 24 and 25, before taking the measures provided for  therein or, in cases to which paragraph 3 (d) applies, as soon as possible, the Community or the  CSFR, as the case may be, shall supply the Joint Committee with all relevant information with a  view to seeking a solution acceptable to the two Parties. In the selection of measures, priority must be given to those which least disturb the functioning  of the Agreement. The safeguard measures shall be notified immediately to the Joint Committee and shall be the  subject of periodic consultations within that body, particularly with a view to establishing a  timetable for their abolition as soon as circumstances permit. 3.    For the implementation of paragraph 2, the following provisions shall apply: (a)   As regards Article 24, the difficulties arising from the situation referred to in that  Article shall be referred for examination to the Joint Committee, which may take any decision  needed to put an end to such difficulties. If the Joint Committee or the exporting Party has not taken a decision putting an end to the  difficulties or no other satisfactory solution has been reached within 30 days of the matter being  referred, the importing Party may adopt the appropriate measures to remedy the problem. These  measures must not exceed the scope of what is necessary to remedy the difficulties which have  arisen. (b) As regards Article 23, the Joint Committee shall be informed of the dumping case as soon as the  authorities of the importing Party have initiated an investigation. When no end has been put to the  dumping or no other satisfactory solution has been reached within 30 days of the matter being  referred to the Joint Committee, the importing Party may adopt the appropriate measures. (c) As regards Article 25, the difficulties arising from the situations referred to in that Article  shall be referred for examination to the Joint Committee. The Joint Committee may take any decision needed to put an end to the difficulties. If it has not  taken such a decision within 30 days of the matter being referred to it, the exporting Party may  apply appropriate measures on the exportation of the product concerned. (d) Where exceptional circumstances requiring immediate action make prior information or  examination, as the case may be, impossible, the Community or the CSFR whichever is concerned may,  in the situations specified in Articles 23, 24 and 25, apply forthwith the precautionary measures  strictly necessary to deal with the situation, and the Joint Committee will be informed  immediately. Article 28 (EA 34)Protocol 4 lays down rules of origin, for the application of  tariff preferences foreseen in this Agreement. Article 29 (EA 35)The Agreement shall not  preclude prohibitions or restrictions on imports, exports or goods in transit justified on grounds  of public morality, public policy or public security; the protection of health and life of humans,  animals or plants; the protection of national treasures of artistic, historic or archaeological  value or the protection of intellectual, industrial and commercial property or rules relating to  gold and silver. Such prohibitions or restrictions shall not, however, constitute a means of  arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between the Parties. Article 30 (EA  36)Protocol 5 lays down the specific provisions to apply to trade between the CSFR of the one  part and Spain and Portugal of the other part. TITLE IIPAYMENTS, COMPETITION AND OTHER ECONOMIC PROVISIONSArticle 31 (EA 59)The Parties  undertake to authorize, in freely convertible currency, any payments on the current account of  balance of payments to the extent that the transaction underlying the payments concern movements of  goods  between the Parties which have been liberalized pursuant to the present Agreement. Article  32 (EA 62)With reference to the provisions of this Chapter, and notwithstanding the provisions of  Article 34, until a full convertibility of the CSFR currency in the meaning of Article VIII of the  International Monetary Fund is introduced, the CSFR may in exceptional circumstances apply exchange  restrictions connected with the granting or taking up of short and medium-term credits to the  extent that such restrictions are imposed on the CSFR for the granting of such credits and are  permitted according to the CSFR's status under the IMF. The CSFR shall apply these restrictions in a non-discriminatory manner. They shall be applied in  such a manner as to cause the least possible disruption to this Agreement. The CSFR shall inform  the Joint Committee promptly of the introduction of such measures and of any changes therein.  Article 33 (EA 63)1.    The following are incompatible with the proper functioning of the  Agreement, in so far as they may affect trade between the Community and the CSFR: (i)   all agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted  practices between undertakings which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or  distortion of competition; (ii) abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position in the territories of the Community  or of the CSFR as a whole or in a substantial part thereof; (iii) any public aid which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain  undertakings or the production of certain goods. 2.    Any practices contrary to this Article shall be assessed on the basis of criteria arising  from the application of the rules of Articles 85, 86 and 92 of the Treaty establishing the European  Economic Community. 3.    The Joint Committee shall, within three years of the entry into force of the Agreement, adopt  by decision the necessary rules for the implementation of paragraphs  1 and 2. Until the implementing rules are adopted, practices incompatible with paragraph 1 of Article 3  shall be dealt with by the Parties on their respective territories according to their respective  legislations. This is without prejudice to Article 33 paragraph 6 of this Agreement. 4.   (a)   For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraph 1, point (iii), the Parties  recognize that during the first five years after the entry into force of the Agreement, any public  aid granted by the CSFR shall be assessed taking into account the fact that the CSFR shall be  regarded as an area identical to those areas of the Community described in Article 92 (3) (a) of  the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community. The Joint Committee shall, taking into  account the economic situation of the CSFR, decide whether that period should be extended by  further periods of five years.  (b) Each Party shall ensure transparency in the area of public aid, inter alia by reporting  annually to the other Party on the total amount and the distribution of the aid given and by  providing, upon request, information on aid schemes. Upon request by one Party, the other Party  shall provide information on particular individual cases of public aid. 5.    With regard to products referred to in Chapters II and III of Title I: -   the provision of paragraph 1 (iii) does not apply, - any practices contrary to paragraph 1 (i) should be assessed according to the criteria  established by the Community on the basis of Articles 42 and 43 of the Treaty establishing the  European Economic Community and in particular of those established in Council Regulation (EEC) No  26/1962. 6.    If the Community or the CSFR considers that a particular practice is incompatible with the  terms of the first paragraph of this Article, and: -   is not adequately dealt with under the implementing rules referred to in paragraph 3, or- in  the absence of such rules, and if such practice causes or threatens to cause serious prejudice to  the interest of the other Party or material injury to its domestic industry, including its services  industry, it may take appropriate measures after consultation within the Joint Committee or after 30 working  days following referral for such consultation. In the case of practices incompatible with paragraph 1  (iii) of this Article, such appropriate  measures may, where the General Agreement on tariffs and trade applies thereto, only be adopted in  conformity with the  procedures and under the conditions laid down by the General Agreement on  tariffs and trade and any other relevant instrument negotiated under its auspices which are  applicable between the Parties. 7.    Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary adopted in conformity with paragraph 3, the  Parties shall exchange information taking into account the limitations imposed by the requirements  of professional and business secrecy. 8.    This Article shall not apply to the products covered by the Treaty establishing the European  Coal and Steel Community which are the subject of Protocol 2. Article 34 (EA 64)1.    Where one  or more Member States of the Community or the CSFR is in serious balance of payments difficulties,  or under imminent threat thereof, the Community or the CSFR, as the case may be, may, in accordance  with the conditions established under the General Agreement on tariffs and trade adopt restrictive  measures, including measures relating to imports, which shall be of limited duration and may not go  beyond what is necessary to remedy the balance of payments situation. The measures shall be  progressively relaxed as balance of payments conditions improve and they shall be eliminated when  conditions no longer justify their maintenance. The Community or the CSFR, as the case may be,  shall inform the other Party forthwith of their introduction and, whenever practicable, of a time  schedule for their removal. 2.    The Parties shall nevertheless endeavour to avoid the imposition of restrictive measures for  balance of payments purposes. Article 35 (EA 65)With regard to public undertakings, and  undertakings to which special or exclusive rights have been granted, the Joint Committee shall  ensure that as from the third year following the date of entry into force of the Agreement, the  principles of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, notably Article 90, and the  principles of the concluding document of the April 1990 Bonn meeting of the Conference on security  and cooperation in Europe, notably entrepreneurs' freedom of decision, are upheld. Article 361.     The CSFR shall continue to improve the protection of intellectual, industrial and commercial  property rights in order to provide, by the end of the fifth year after the entry into force of the  Agreement, a level of protection similar to that provided in the Community by Community acts, in  particular the ones referred to in Annex XVII, including comparable means of enforcing such  rights. 2.    Mutual assistance between administrative authorities in customs matters of the Parties shall  take place in accordance with the provisions of Protocol 6.

Article 38 (EA 105)The Joint Committee shall, for the purposes of attaining the  objectives of the Agreement, have the power to take decisions in the cases provided for therein.

Each Party to the dispute must take the steps required to implement the decision of the  arbitrators. Article 40 (EA 112)Within the scope of this Agreement, each Party undertakes to  ensure that natural and legal persons of the other Party have access free of discrimination in  relation to its own nationals to the competent courts and administrative organs of the Community  and the CSFR to defend their individual rights and their property rights, including those  concerning intellectual, industrial and commercial property.

The minimum import prices shall be respected in accordance with the following criteria: -   during each three month period of the marketing year the average unit value for each product  listed in paragraph 1, imported into the Community, shall not be lower than the minimum import  price for that product,  - during any period of two weeks the average unit value for each product listed in paragraph 1,  imported in the Community shall not be lower than 90  % of the minimum import price for that  product, in so far as the quantities imported during this period are not less than 4  % of the  normal annual import. 3. In case of non respect of one of these criteria the Community may introduce measures ensuring  that the minimum import price is respected for each consignment of the product concerned imported  from the CSFR. ANNEX XII Quantitative restrictions on imports into the CSFR of agricultural products  originating in the Community which shall be abolished upon entry into force of the Agreement > TABLE POSITION> ANNEX XIIIa Arrangements for imports of live bovine animals into the Community 1.   In  case the number of animals fixed in the framework of the balance sheet arrangements foreseen in  Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 are lower than a reference quantity, a global tariff quota equal to the  difference between that reference quantity and the number of animals fixed under the balance sheet  arrangements will be opened to imports from Hungary, Poland and the CSFR. The reference quantity  shall be: -  217  800 in 1992, -  237  600 in 1993, -  257  400 in 1994, -  277  200 in 1995, -  297  000 in 1996. The reduced levy applicable to animals under this quota will be fixed at 25  % of the full amount  of levy. This arrangement shall apply to live bovine animals for fattening or for slaughter with a live  weight of not less than 160 kg and not more than 300 kg. 2. In case forecasts show that imports into the Community may exceed 425  000 head for any given  year, the Community may take safeguard measures in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 805/68,  notwithstanding any other rights given under the Agreement. In this context, imports of live bovine animals not covered by the arrangements mentioned in  paragraph 1 shall be limited to young calves with a live weight of not more than 80 kg. Such  imports shall be subject to a management regime in order to ensure regular supply over the year in  question.
