Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the position to be taken by the Community in the Association Council established by
the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of
the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, concerning the improvement
of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products foreseen in Protocol 2 of
the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and the Republic of Latvia

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Article 19 of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member
States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, approved by Decision of
the Council and the Commission (98/98/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
outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture, including improvements to the
existing preferential agreements, approved by Council Decision (1999/790/EC) of 18 May
19982, Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement has been replaced by the text contained in Annex
B to that Protocol.

During the debate on the mandate proposed by the Commission allowing the improvement of
the agricultural part of the Europe Agreements, Member States asked the Commission to
negotiate in parallel improvement of the access to the markets for processed agricultural
products. This negotiation would have 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 Latvia in order to improve access to the markets.

The two parties have reached a technical agreement which envisages the reciprocal
elimination of import duties for the products under quota, the increase in the amount of the
quota taking account of the traditional trade flow as well as concessions for new products.

Furthermore, the new agreement should be extended to the trade in all of the processed
agricultural products.

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

Based on average imports during 1997 to 1999, calculation of loss of revenue through an increase of zero
duty quotas to cover actual trade and a reduction of duties for all other processed agricultural products by
10 %.
CAN THE PROJECT BE FINANCED FROM APPROPRIATIONS ENTERED IN THE
RELEVANT CHAPTER OF THE CURRENT BUDGET?
CAN THE PROJECT BE FINANCED BY TRANSFER BETWEEN CHAPTERS OF
THE CURRENT BUDGET?

NO

6.2 WILL A SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET BE NECESSARY?
6.3 WILL APPROPRIATIONS NEED TO BE ENTERED IN FUTURE BUDGETS?
OBSERVATIONS:
The financial impact of this measure in the form of a reduction of duties applicable upon import of goods
originating in Latvia and an increase of zero duty quotas is marginal since trade with the EU is of little
significance.
