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 
the 
Conformity  Assessment  Agreements, 
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. 

for  establishing  a 

time-table 

for 

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. 

initialed  the  text  of  the  Protocol  on  European  Conformity 
The  Commission 
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.

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.
