COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1361/2002

of 22 July 2002

establishing 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 Lithuania

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:

(2)

(3)

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

The first improvements to the preferential arrangements
of
the Europe Agreement were provided for in the
Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agree-
ment 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 agreements (2).

the relevant provisions of

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
Europe 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 January 2001 in the
form of Council Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 of 14
December 2000 establishing certain concessions in the
form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural
products and providing for an adjustment, as an autono-
mous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural
concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with
Lithuania (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.

(7)

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

A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an
essential part of the results of the negotiations for the
conclusion 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
in the
Europe Agreement.

the agricultural concessions provided for

The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Regulation should be adopted in accordance with
Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying
down the procedures for the exercise of implementing
powers conferred on the Commission (4).

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993
the implementation of
for
laying down provisions
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the
Community Customs Code (5) 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 2766/2000 has effectively lost its substance
and should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

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
Lithuanian authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.

4. At the request of either the Community or Lithuania, 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 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.
