(Submitted by the Commission on 6 November 2002)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

On 30 March 1999, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations for additional mutual
agricultural concessions in the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community
and the associated Central and Eastern European Countries.

The negotiations with the Republic of Slovenia, which were undertaken in the overall context of the
accession process, were based on Article 21(5) of the Europe Agreement. This article provides that the
Community and Slovenia shall examine in the Association Council, product by product and on an orderly
and reciprocal basis, the possibility of granting each other further concessions, taking account of the
volume of trade in agricultural products between them, of their particular sensitivity, of the rules of the
common agricultural policy of the Community and of the role of agriculture in Slovenia's economy.

According to the Council directives, the negotiations should lead to a fair equilibrium, both in terms of
exports and imports, between the interests of the European Community and its Member States and those
of the associated countries. On this basis, two rounds of negotiation were undertaken and concluded
between the parties on 22 May 2000 and 25 July 2002.

the negotiations between the Commission and Slovenia on additional agricultural
The results of
concessions involve immediate, full and reciprocal liberalisation of trade in some agricultural products.
Agreement was also reached on opening new tariff quotas in certain sectors and increasing certain
previously existing quotas.

The present Protocol on new mutual agricultural concessions is to form a new Additional Protocol to the
Europe Agreement setting out all (i.e. both old and new) agricultural trade concessions agreed between the
Community and the Republic of Slovenia.

Both sides implemented the results of the first round of negotiations on an autonomous and transitional
basis from 1 July 2000. On the Community side, the new concessions were implemented by Council
Regulation (EC) No 2475/2000 (1) of 7 November 2000. The present Protocol will replace these
autonomous and transitional measures on the day of its entry into force.
