Having regard to the Europe Agreement establishing an asso-
ciation between the European Communities and their Member

Protocol 3 lays down the trade arrangements
in
processed agricultural products between Slovenia and
the Community.

Under Article 1(2) of Protocol 3,
the Association
Council is to decide, in particular, on any amendment of
the duties mentioned in the Annexes to Protocol 3 and
on the increase or abolition of tariff quotas.

Under Article 2, second indent, of Protocol 3 the Asso-
ciation Council
is also to decide whether the duties
applied may be reduced in response to reductions
resulting from mutual concessions relating to processed
agricultural products.

this Decision should be opened for the year 2001. In
view of the fact that these annual quotas may only be
opened after 1 January 2001, on a date to be fixed, they

should be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the
period already elapsed,

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Protocol 3 on trade between Slovenia and
the Community in processed agricultural products shall be
completed by Annexes I and II to this Decision.

The annual quotas for the year 2001 provided for in Annexes I
and II to this Decision shall be reduced on a pro rata basis
taking into account

second month following its adoption.
