AGREEMENT

Letter No 1

Letter from the European Community

Brussels, 22.12.2000

Sir,

I have the honour of referring to the negotiations which took place under Article 16 of the Euro-Mediterra-
nean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States,
of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part, in force since 1 March 1998, which states
that the Community and Tunisia are to gradually liberalise their reciprocal trade in agricultural and fishery
products.

These negotiations were held in accordance with Article 18 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement which
stipulates that, from 1 January 2000, the Community and the Republic of Tunisia are to assess the situation
with a view to determining the liberalisation measures to be applied by the Parties with effect from 1
January 2001.

On the conclusion of the negotiations the two Parties agreed to the following:

1. The dates in Article 1(5) of Protocol No 1 shall be replaced by ‘from 1 January 2002 to 1 January 2005’.

2. In Article 2:

(a) the designation ‘Côteaux de Teboura’ in the second sentence should read ‘Côteaux de Tebourba’.

(b) the following paragraph shall be added:

‘Wines with a designation of origin originating in Tunisia must be accompanied by a certificate
indicating their origin in accordance with the model specified in the preferential agreement or by
documents V I 1 or V I 2 completed in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85
on the certificate and analysis report required for the importation of wine, grape juice and grape
must.’

3. Article 3 of Protocol No 1 shall be replaced by the following:

‘Article 3

1.
Imports of untreated olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly
obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from Tunisia to the Community, shall be allowed to enter the
Community at a zero rate of duty from 1 January 2001, up to a maximum of 50 000 tonnes.

Starting on 1 January 2002, this quantity shall be increased annually by 1 500 tonnes over four

2.
years, with a view to achieving an annual quantity of 56 000 tonnes from 1 January 2005.

3.
If these imports risk harming the balance on the Community market in olive oil, especially because
of the Community's obligations regarding this product in the WTO, the Contracting Parties shall consult
each other with a view to finding measures appropriate to the situation, acceptable to both Parties and
capable of resolving the problem.’

2006,

in accordance with the objective laid down in Article 16 of the Association Agreement.
