(Submitted by the Commission on 11 June 2002)

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

(2) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of
the Europe Agreement with Hungary were provided for in
the Protocol
the Europe
an association between the
Agreement
European Communities and their Member States, of the
one part, and the Republic of Hungary of the other part,
to take account of 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 arrangements, approved by Council
Decision 1999/67/EC (2).

(3) Improvements to the preferential arrangements of

the
Europe Agreement with Hungary were also provided for
as a result of a first round of negotiations to liberalise the
agricultural trade. The improvements entered into force as
from 1 July 2000 in the form of Council Regulation (EC)
No 1727/2000 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 Hungary (3).
The second adjustment of the relevant provisions in the
Europe Agreement — which will
take the form of
another Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement —
has not yet entered into force.

(4) A new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on
trade liberalisation for agricultural products has been
negotiated.

provide for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transi-
tional measure, of the agricultural concessions provided for
in the Europe Agreement with Hungary.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 1727/2000 should therefore be

repealed.

(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993
laying down provisions for the implementation of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community
Customs Code (4) has codified the management rules for
tariff quotas designed to be used following the chro-
nological order of dates of customs declarations. Tariff
quotas under this Regulation should therefore be admin-
istered in accordance with those rules.

(8) Since the measures necessary for the implementation of
this Regulation are management measures within the
meaning of Article 2 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC
of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the

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 Appendix 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
Hungarian authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.

4. At the request of either the Community or Hungary, 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 may 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, on the one part and the authorities',
producers' and exporters' organisations of all the associated exporting countries, on 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.
