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  Lithuania,  which  were  undertaken  in  the
overall context of the accession process, were based on Article 20(4) of the Europe
Agreement. This article provides that the Community and Lithuania 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 Lithuania’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,  negotiations  were  undertaken  and  concluded  between  the  Parties  on
19 February 2002.

The results of the negotiations between the Commission and Lithuania on additional
agricultural 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  results  of  the  negotiations  have  so  far  been  implemented  by  the  respective
parties in the form of autonomous measures, applicable as from 1 July 2002. On the
Community  side,  the  autonomous  measures  were 
implemented  by  Council
Regulation  (EC)  No  1361/2002.  Similar  legislative  measures  were  adopted  and
implemented by the Republic of Lithuania.

The  present  Protocol  on  new  mutual  agricultural  concessions  would  replace  the
aforementioned  autonomous  and  transitional  measures  at  the  date  of  its  entry  into
force.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of 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, to take account
of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural
concessions

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community,  and  in  particular
Article 133, in conjunction with Article 300(2), subparagraph 1, first sentence thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

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  part2,  provides  for  certain  reciprocal  trade  concessions  for  certain
agricultural products.

Article  20(4)  of  the  Europe  Agreement  provides  that  the  Community  and  Lithuania
shall  examine  product  by  product  and  on  an  orderly  and  reciprocal  basis  the
possibilities of granting each other further concessions.

The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement with
Lithuania  were  provided  for  in  the  Protocol  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  improvements  to  the  existing
preferential arrangements, approved by Decision 98/677/EC3.

Improvements  to  the  preferential  arrangements  were  also  provided  for  as  a  result  of
negotiations  to  liberalise  agricultural  trade  concluded  in  2000.  On  the  Community
side,  these  were  implemented  from  1 July  2000  by  Regulation  (EC)  No  2766/2000
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  Lithuania4. This  second  adjustment  of  the  preferential  arrangements

has not yet been incorporated in the Europe Agreement in the form of an Additional
Protocol.

Negotiations for further improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe
Agreement  with  Lithuania  were  concluded  on  19  February  2002.  The  results  of  the
negotiations  have  so  far  been  implemented  by  the  respective  parties  in  the  form  of
autonomous  measures,  applicable  as  from  1  July  2002.  On  the  Community  side,  the
autonomous measures were implemented by Council Regulation (EC) No 1361/20025.
Similar  legislative  measures  were  adopted  and  implemented  by  the  Republic  of
Lithuania.

The new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement adjusting the trade aspects of
the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States,
of the one part, and the Republic of Lithuania, of the other part (hereinafter referred to
as “the Protocol”) should be approved with a view to consolidating all concessions in
agricultural  trade  between  the  two  sides,  including  the  results  of  the  negotiations
concluded in 2000 and 2002.

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  Code6  has  codified  the  management  rules  for  tariff  quotas
designed  to  be  used  following  the  chronological  order  of  dates  of  customs
declarations. Certain tariff quotas under this Decision should therefore be administered
in accordance with those rules.

Further measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted
in accordance  with the  Management  Committee procedure  of  Decision  1999/468/EC
of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers
conferred on the Commission7.

(9)

As  a  result  of  the  aforementioned  negotiations,  Regulation  (EC)  No 1361/2002  has
effectively lost its substance and should therefore be repealed,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The  attached  Protocol  adjusting  the  trade  aspects  of  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,  to  take  account  of  the  outcome  of  negotiations
between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, is hereby approved on behalf of
the Community.

The minimum import prices, as set out in point 1, will be respected on a consignment

If the import prices of a given product covered by this Annex 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.

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.

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.
