COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1151/2002

of 27 June 2002

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 Estonia

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-
nity, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

The Europe Agreement establishing an association be-
tween the European Communities and their Member
States, of the one part, and the Republic of Estonia, of
the other part (1), hereinafter referred to as the ‘Europe
Agreement’, provides for certain concessions for certain
agricultural products originating in Estonia.

The first improvements to the preferential arrangements
of the Europe Agreement were provided for in the Proto-
col adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement 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 improve-
ments to the existing preferential arrangements (2). The
Council approved the abovementioned Protocol on be-
half of the Community by Decision 1999/86/EC (3).

Improvements to the preferential arrangements of the
Europe Agreement were also provided for, in the form
of an autonomous and transitional measure pending a
second adjustment of the relevant provisions of the Eur-
ope Agreement, as a result of a first round of negotia-
tions to liberalise the agricultural trade. The improve-
ments entered into force as from 1 July 2000 by virtue
of Council Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000 of 19 June
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 Estonia (4).
The second adjustment of the relevant provisions in the
Europe Agreement — which will take the form of an-
other Additional Protocol thereto — has not yet entered
into force.

(4)

A new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on
trade liberalisation for agricultural products has been ne-
gotiated.

(1) OJ L 68, 9.3.1998, p. 3.
(2) OJ L 29, 3.2.1999, p. 11.
(3) OJ L 29, 3.2.1999, p. 9.
(4) OJ L 155, 28.6.2000, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regula-

tion (EC) No 2677/2000 (OJ L 308, 8.12.2000, p. 7).

(5)

(6)

(7)

A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an es-
sential part of the results of the negotiations for the con-
clusion of a new Additional Protocol to the Europe
Agreement. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the
adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure,
of the agricultural concessions provided for in the Eur-
ope Agreement.

The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Coun-
cil Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down
the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers
conferred on the Commission (5).

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 (6) codified the management
rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the
chronological order of dates of customs declarations.
Tariff quotas under this Regulation should therefore be
administered in accordance with those rules.

(8)

As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regula-
tion (EC) No 1349/2000 has effectively lost its substance
and should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The arrangements for import into the Community applic-
1.
able to certain agricultural products originating in Estonia as set
out in Annex C(a) and Annex C(b) to this Regulation shall re-
place those set out in Annex Va to the Europe Agreement.

2.
On the entry into force of the Additional Protocol adjust-
ing the Europe Agreement to take into account the outcome of
the negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural
concessions, the concessions provided for in that Protocol shall
replace those referred to in Annex C(a) and Annex C(b) to this
Regulation.

(5) OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23.
(6) OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Commis-
sion Regulation (EC) No 444/2002 (OJ L 68, 12.3.2002, p. 11).

2. The minimum import prices, as set out in point 1, will be respected on a consignment by consignment basis. Where a
customs declaration value is 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 Commission of the European Communities
will

inform the Estonian authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.

4. At the request of either the Community or Estonia, the Association Council shall examine the functioning of the
system or the revision of the level of the minimum import prices. If appropriate, the Association Council 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 Community.
This consultation meeting will take place between the Commission of the European Communities and the interested
European producers' organisations for the products concerned, of the one part, and the authorities', producers' and
exporters' organisations of all the associated exporting countries, of 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.
