of the Council and the Commission (98/150/EC,ECSC,Euratom) of 19 December 19971,
provides that Protocol 2 lays down the trade arrangements for the processed agricultural
products which are listed therein. Pursuant to Article 2(1) of the Protocol adjusting trade
aspects of the Europe Agreement 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

agreements,

preferential

approved

During the debate on the mandate proposed by the Commission for the improvement of the
agricultural chapter of the Europe Agreements, Member States asked the Commission to
negotiate in parallel improvement of the market access for processed agricultural products.

This negotiation has as a legal basis the relevant provisions of the Protocol 2 mentioned
above.

Following this request of the Council, the Commission services started negotiations with a
delegation of the Republic of Lithuania.

During the month of April 2000, the two parties reached a technical agreement which
envisages the elimination of import duties for the products under quota, the increase of the
amount of the quota taking account of the traditional trade flow as well as concessions for
new products.

It is therefore proposed to the Council to adopt this Proposal for a Decision of the Association
Council, aiming to adapt Protocol 2.
