WHEREAS  the  Republic  of  Austria,  the  Republic  of  Finland  and  the  Kingdom  of  Sweden  joined  the

WHEREAS,  under  the  terms  of  Articles  76,  102  and  128  of  the  1994  Act  of  Accession,  the  Republic  of

WHEREAS  the  Community  has  adopted,  as  from  1  January  1995,  transitional  measures  in  the  form  of

Kingdom  of  Sweden,  notably  concerning  agricultural  and  processed  agricultural  products;

WHEREAS the commitments of the Community and Romania in the framework of the negotiations of the

WHEREAS  the  accession  of  the  Republic  of  Austria,  the  Republic  of  Finland  and  the  Kingdom  of  Sweden

Agreement  through  a  protocol  for  the  adaptation  of  the  trade  aspects  of  this  Agreement;

WHEREAS  the  Council  decided  by  Decision  95/131/EC (1)  to  apply  on  a  provisional  basis  from  1  January

2. The  minimum  import  prices,  as  set  out  in  point  1,  will  be  respected  on  a  consignment  by  consignment
basis.  In  the  case  of  a  customs  declaration  value  being  lower  than  the  minimum  import  price,  a
countervailing  duty  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  minimum  import  price  ans  the  customs
declaration  value  will  be  charged.

3.

If the import prices of a given product covered by this Appendix show a trend suggesting that the prices
could  go  below  the  level  of  the  minimum  import  prices  in  the  immediate  future,  the  European
Commission  will  inform  the  Romanian  authorities  in  order  to  enable  them  to  correct  the  situation.

4. At  the  request  of  either  the  Communiy  or  Romania,  the  Association  Committee  shall  examine  the
functioning of the system or the revision of the level of the minimum import prices. If appropriate, the
Association  Committee  shall  take  the  necessary  decisions.

5. To encourage and promote the development of trade and for the mutual benefit of all parties concerned,
a  consultation  meeting  will  be  organised  three  months  before  the  beginning  of  each  marketing  year  in
the  Community.  This  consultation  meeting  will  take  place  between  the  European  Commission  and  the
interested  European  producers’  organisations  for  the  products  concerned,  on  the  one  part,  and  the
authorities’,  producers’  and  exporters’  organisations  of  all  the  associated  exporting  countries,  on  the
other  part.

During the consultation meeting, the market situation for soft fruit including, in particular, forecasts for
production, stock situation, price evolution and possible market development, as well as possibilities to
adapt  supply  to  demand,  will  be  discussed.’

Exchange  of  letters  between  the  European  Community  and  Romania  regarding  entry  prices
applied  to  the  import  of  fruit  and  vegetables  into  the  Community

A. Letter  from  the  Community

Sir,

The  Agreement  on  the  adaptation  of  the  agricultural  part  of  the  Europe  Agreement  following
the  implementation  of  the  Uruguay  Round  and  the  enlargement  of  the  European  Community
signed  today  between  the  European  Community  and  Romania  does  not  contain  any  provisions
regarding  the  entry  price  regime  applied  to  the  import  of  fruit  and  vegetables  into  the
Community.

It  has  been  agreed  that  the  Parties  will  continue  consultations  on  this  sector  in  order  to  find  a
solution. Taking into account, inter alia, the experience of the last marketing years, the solution
should  allow  the  continuation  of  trade  relations  traditionally  established  between  the
Community  and  Romania  for  the  products  concerned.  In  the  meantime,  Romania  will  not  be
treated  less  favourably  than  other  associated  countries  in  this  context.

In addition, both Parties will continue talks in the framework of the relevant procedures of the
Europe Agreement on any other unresolved issues in order to find as soon as possible mutually
acceptable  solutions.

I should be obliged if you would confirm the agreement of the Government of Romania to the
contents  of  this  letter.

Please  accept,  Sir,  the  assurance  of  my  highest  consideration.
