Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL DECISION 

concerning Protocol 2 of the Agreement between 
the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway 

(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

On 27 June the Commission concluded  an Agreement with Norway  in accordance with 
the  negotiating  directives  established  by  the  Council.  These  directives  instructed  the 
Commission to negotiate an amendment of Protocol 2 of the Agreement with Norway in 
order to take account on the one hand of enlargement and of the implementation of the 
Uruguay  Round  agreements  and  on  the  other  hand  of  the  improvement  to  existing 
traditional trade on a reciprocal basis. 

The Agreement will  have to be adopted in the form of an exchange of letters, the legal 
basis for which is Article 113 of the Treaty. It is in the interests of Community trade that 
the provisions of this Agreement be put into effect as soon as possible. Norway agrees to 
implement this Agreement as from 1  September 1996. 

For these reasons the Commission therefore proposes that the Council adopt this proposal 
for a Decision regarding the amendment of Protocol 2.

I.  Introduction 

1. Following a number of meetings held between officials  from the Commission and Nor 
way it was agreed to submit to their respective authorities for approval  a series of adjust 
ments to the respective import regimes applied by the Community  and Norway  for pro 
cessed agricultural products falling within the scope of Protocol 2 to the  1973 Free Trade 
Agreement.  These adjustments would apply from  1 September  1996. 

2. The adjustments referred to in paragraph  1 follow the agreement of both sides that an 
adaptation of the duties in bilateral trade between the Community and Norway needed to 
be achieved following  GATT implementation by both sides.  For that purpose and subject 
to the Additional  Arrangements set out in Part V both parties agreed that the reference 
rates for the agricultural  raw materials set out in Parts II (1.) and III  would be applied. 

II.

(a)  The reference rates for  the agricultural raw materials  indicated with an asterisk (*) are those upon 
which the duties are calculated for  the processed agricultural products subject to the matrix system - the 
other reference rates for  the raw materials to be declared under this heading are those resulting from  the 
application of the conversion coefficients. 

(b)  The matrix reference rales for  these agricultural raw materials will depend upon the actual milk fat 
and milk protein content in accordance with the conversion coefficients. 

2. Norwegian  tariff  codes mentioned in these minutes refer to those communicated  to the Commission  by 
Norway  in  its  Regular  Notification  dated  15  February  1996  covering  Protocol  2  to  the  Free  Trade

quantity of  12.5 kg of starch/glucose would be taken to calculate the duty.  For the  interval  of not  less than

v. Additional  arrangements 

Both sides agreed to put to their respective authorities the following  :-

(a) 
The reference  rates of  frozen  soft fruits specified  in  Part II (1.)  applied  under the  matrix, actual 
content  and  standard  recipes  would  be  subject  to  annual joint  review  before  15  June.  Such joint  reviews 
would  take  account  of  the  market  prices,  the  market  situation,  Norwegian  production  and  imports  to 
Norway.  The reference  prices and as a result the duties thereafter would be adapted. 

(b) 
The  reference  rates  of  the cereals  applied  in the matrix,  actual  content  and  standard  recipes  by 
Norway  and  under  the  matrix  and  standard  recipes  by  the  Community  would  be  adjusted  if  the  market 
prices,  market  situation  and/or  significant  changes  in trade  indicated  such  a  need.  As  a  result  the  duties 
would be adapted.  Consultations would be held between the parties prior to such adjustments. 

(c) 
The reference  rates of the dairy raw materials applied  in the matrix, actual  content and standard 
recipes  by Norway  and  under the  matrix  and  standard recipes  by  the Community  would  be  adjusted  if  the 
market  prices,  market  situation  and/or significant  changes  in trade  indicated  such  a  need.  As  a  result  the 
duties would be adapted.  Consultations would be held between the parties prior to such adjustments. 

(d) 
The  reference  rates  of  starch  and  glucose  applied  in  the  matrix,  actual  content  and  standard 
recipes  by Norway  and  under the matrix  and  standard  recipes  by the  Community  would  be  adjusted  if the 
market  prices,  market  situation  and/or  significant  changes  in  trade  indicated  such  a  need.  As  a result  the 
duties would be adapted.  Consultations would be held between the parties prior to such adjustments. 

If difficulties  were  to occur  in the  implementation  of the  quota  concerning  chocolate  and  other 
(e) 
food  preparations  containing  cocoa  referred  to  under  Part  IV  appropriate  measures  would  be  taken  if 
necessary taking full  account of Norwegian  interests.  Consultations would be held between the parties prior 
to the introduction  of these measures. 

VI. 

Future trading  conditions 

Both sides agreed to use their best endeavours to  improve trading conditions  in the  future taking  account 
of  relevant  criteria,  such  as  the  evolution  of  trade  flows,  bilateral  preference  applied  in trade  in  processed 
agricultural  products  and  the  evolution  of  raw  materials'  markets  and  prices.  In  this  respect  both  sides 
agreed  to  seek  to  obtain  improved  preferential  treatment  within  the  context  of  Protocol  3  of the  European 
Economic  Area  Agreement.
