COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2851/2000

of 22 December 2000

establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural
products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain
agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Poland and
repealing Regulation (EC) No 3066/95

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

The Europe Agreement establishing an association
between the European Communities and their Member
States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of
the other part (1), provides for certain concessions for
certain agricultural products originating in Poland.

Improvements to the preferential agreements of
the
Europe Agreement with the Republic of Poland were
provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of
22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in
the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricul-
tural products and providing for the adjustment, as an
autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricul-
tural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements
to take account of
the Agreement on Agriculture
concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade
Negotiations (2). The Protocol adjusting trade aspects of
the Europe Agreement
establishing an association
between the European Communities and their Member
States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of
the other part, to take into account the accession of the
Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the
Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the
outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agricul-
ture including improvements to existing preferential
agreements has not yet entered into force.

As a result of
the conclusion of agreements with
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and the
Slovak Republic on further agricultural concessions,
Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 has effectively been voided
of its substance and should therefore be repealed.

In accordance with the directives adopted by the Council
the Commission and Poland
on 30 March 1999,
concluded on 26 September 2000 negotiations on a
new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement.

The new Additional Protocol, which provides for addi-
tional agricultural concessions, will be based on Article
20(5) of the Europe Agreement, establishing that the

Community and Poland are to examine in the Associa-
tion Council, product by product on an orderly and
reciprocal basis, the possibility of granting each other
further concessions.

A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an
essential part of the results of the negotiations for the
conclusion of a new Additional Protocol to the Europe
Agreement with the Republic of Poland.

It is therefore appropriate to provide for the adjustment,
as an autonomous and transitional measure, of the agri-
cultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agree-
ment with the Republic of Poland.

The Republic of Poland will also undertake all the neces-
sary legislative provisions, on an autonomous and trans-
itional basis, in order to implement simultaneously the
commitments made by the Republic of Poland as a
result of the conclusion of the negotiations.

The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Regulation should be in accordance with Council
Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down
the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers
conferred on the Commission (3).

(1) Notwithstanding the rules for the implementation of the Combined nomenclature, the wording of the description of the products is to be considered as having no more
than indicative value, the preferential scheme being determined, within the context of this Annex, by the coverage of the CN code. Where ex CN codes are indicated, the
preferential scheme is to be determined by application to the CN code and corresponding description taken together.

In cases where a MFN minimum duty exists, the applicable minimum duty is equal to the MFN minimum duty multiplied by the percentage indicated in this column.
(3) The quota for this product is opened for Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and the Slovak Republic. Where it appears
likely that total Community imports of live bovine animals may exceed 500 000 heads in a given marketing year the Community may take the management measures
needed to protect its market, notwithstanding any other rights given under the Agreement.

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 will be charged
equal to the difference between the minimum import price and the customs declaration value.

3. If the import prices of a given product covered by this Annex 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 Polish
authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.

4. At the request of either the Community or Poland, 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 European
Community. This consultation meeting will take place between the European Commission and the interested European
producers' organisations for the products concerned, of the one part and the authorities', producers' and exporters'
organisations of all the associated exporting countries, of the other part.

During this 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.
