(5)

The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States,
of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Europe Agreement’)
was signed in Brussels on 16 December 1991 and entered into force on 1 February 1994 (1).

Article 20(5) of the Europe Agreement provides that the Community and the Republic of Poland are to examine
in the Association Council, product by product and on an orderly and reciprocal basis, the possibility of granting
each other additional agricultural concessions. On this basis negotiations have been undertaken and were
concluded between the parties.

For the first time, improvements to the preferential agricultural regime of the Europe Agreement were provided
for in the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement (2) to take account of the last enlargement of
the Community and the outcome of the GATT Uruguay Round.

Two further rounds of negotiations for improved agricultural trade concessions were concluded on 26 September
2000 and 23 December 2002.

From the one side, the Council decided, by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2851/2000 (3), to apply on a provisional
basis, as from 1 January 2001, the European Community concessions resulting from the 2000 round of negotia-
tions and from the other side the Government of Poland took legislative provisions to apply, as from the same
date of 1 January 2001, the equivalent Polish concessions (Ordinance No 1253/2000, No 1273/2000 and No
1274/2000 (4)).

(6)

The abovementioned concessions will be supplemented and replaced on the date of entry into force of this
Protocol by the concessions provided for herein,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The arrangements for import into the Community applicable to certain agricultural products originating in
Poland as set out in Annex A(a) and A(b) and the arrangements for import into Poland applicable to certain
agricultural products originating in the Community as set out in Annex B(a) and B(b) to this Protocol shall
replace those set out in Annexes VIII and IX as referred to in Article 20(2) and 20(4) to the Europe Agree-
ment establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one
part, and Poland, of the other part.

than indicative value, the preferential scheme being determined, within the context of this Annex, by the coverage of the CN code. Where ex CN codes are indicated,
the preferential scheme is to be determined by application to the CN code and corresponding description taken together.
In cases where an MFN minimum duty exists, the applicable minimum duty is equal to the MFN minimum duty multiplied by the percentage indicated in this column.
The quota for this product is opened for Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and the Slovak Republic. Where it appears

needed to protect its market, notwithstanding any other rights given under the Agreement.
The quota for this product is opened for Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and the Slovak Republic.

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

4. At the request of either the Community or Poland, 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 consulta-
tion meeting will be organised three months before the beginning of each marketing year in the European Commu-
nity. This consultation meeting will take place between the European Commission 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.

(1) Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of Polish Combined Nomenclature (PCN), the wording of the description of the products should be regarded as indica-

tive; the applicability of the preferential arrangements is determined, in the context of this Annex, by the coverage of the PCN codes.

(2) Heifers of a weight exceeding 220 kg.
(3) Excluding tenderloin presented alone.
(4) Rate of duty applicable. If the applied MFN duty rate ad valorem for this product is reduced, the preferential duty rate ad valorem set out in the 3rd column will be
reduced by the same proportion. If the applied MFN minimum/specific duty rate is reduced below the preferential minimum/specific duty, the latter will be reduced to
the same level.

(5) Products for which the EU will not grant any export refunds for all exports to Poland.
(6) Within the framework of the Polish WTO tariff quota.
(7) Quantities of goods subject to this existing tariff quota and released for free circulation as from 1 January 2003 or as from 1 July 2002 in the case of PCN code

1001 90, before the entry into force of this Protocol shall be fully counted against the quantity provided for in the fourth column.

(8) This quota is managed on a marketing year 1 July to 30 June. Therefore, the quantity indicated in column 4 is available from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003. The quan-

tity indicated in column 5 is available from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004.
