Proposal for a 

COUNCIL AND COMMISSION DECISION 

on the conclusion of an additional protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an 
association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one 
part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech 
Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Hungary, the 
Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of 
Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, and the Slovak Republic to the European Union

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Ten new Member States acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004. Under Article 6(2) 
of  the  Act  concerning  the  Accession  of  the  Czech  Republic,  the  Republic  of  Estonia,  the 
Republic  of  Cyprus,  the  Republic  of  Latvia,  the  Republic  of  Lithuania,  the  Republic  of 
Hungary,  the  Republic  of  Malta,  the  Republic  of  Poland,  the  Republic  of  Slovenia  and  the 
Slovak Republic and the adjustment of the Treaties on which the European Union is founded 
(hereinafter ‘the Act of Accession’), the accession of the new Member States to the Europe 
Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member 
States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part (hereinafter ‘the Europe Agreement’) 
shall be agreed by the conclusion of a protocol to this agreement. Article 6(2) provides for a 
simplified procedure, as these protocols are to be concluded by the Council of the European 
Union, acting unanimously on behalf of the Member States, and the third country concerned. 
This procedure is without prejudice to the Community’s own competences. 

Consequently,  the  Commission  has  negotiated  this  Additional  Protocol  for  the  EC  part  on 
behalf  of  the  European  Community  and  for  the  national  competence  part  on  behalf  of  the 
Member  States  on  the  basis  of  negotiation  directives  adopted  by  the  Council  on 
9 March 2004,  and  in  consultation  with  a  committee  of  the  representatives  of  the  Member 
States. 

The  Additional  Protocol  provides  for  the  necessary  technical  adaptations  of  the  Europe 
Agreement  that  ensue  from  the  accession  of  the  new  contracting  parties,  in  particular 
regarding: 

•  Institutional provisions: the Additional Protocol includes a number of adjustments brought 
about  by  the  institutional  and  legal  developments  within  the  EC  (expiry  of  the  ECSC 
Treaty,  EMU),  as  well  as  by  the  accession  of  the  new  Member  States  to  this  mixed 
agreement and an increase in the number of official languages. 

•  Agricultural  products:  the  Europe  Agreement  provides  for  substantial  trade  liberalisation 
between the European Union and Romania, which in a few cases is limited to tariff quotas, 
notably  on  agricultural  products.  Tariff  quotas  for  basic  agricultural  products  have  been 
reviewed on the basis of traditional trade between the new Member States and Romania. 
The Additional Protocol makes adjustments to these where required. 

•  Rules  of  origin:  the  multilingual  provisions  in  Protocol  4  to  the  Europe  Agreement 
concerning  the  definition  of  the  concept  of  originating  products  and  methods  of 
administrative co-operation have been completed with the languages of the new Member 
States.  Transitional  provisions  concerning  goods  in  transit  at  the  date  of  accession  have 
been introduced. 

•  Processed agricultural products: Protocol 3 on trade between Romania and the Community 
in  processed  agricultural  products  referred  to  in  Article  20  of  the  Europe  Agreement 
foresees  in  its  Article  1  that  the  Association  Council  may  add  products  and  increase  the 
quantities  of  certain  products  eligible  for  concessions.  These  adjustments  are  thus  made 
separately, by means of Association Council Decisions.

Article 5 

The text of Article 86 on monetary policy shall be replaced with the following: 

‘At  the  request  of  Romanian  authorities,  the  Community  shall  provide  technical  assistance 
designed to support the efforts of Romania towards the gradual approximation of its policies 
to  those  of  the  Economic  and  Monetary  Union.  This  will  include  informal  exchange  of

respective countries provided that: 

(a) 

the acquisition of such origin confers preferential tariff treatment on the basis 
of the preferential tariff measures contained in the Europe Agreement;

(c) 

the proof of origin and the transport documents were issued no later  than the 
day before the date of accession; 

the proof of origin is submitted to the customs authorities within the period of 
four months from the date of accession. 

Where  goods  were  declared  for  importation  in  either  Romania  or  a  new  Member 
State,  prior  to  the  date  of  accession,  under  preferential  agreements  or  autonomous 
arrangements  applied  between  Romania  and  that  new  Member  State  at  that  time, 
proof  of  origin  issued  retrospectively under  those  agreements  or  arrangements  may 
also  be  accepted  provided  that  it  is  submitted  to  the  customs  authorities  within  the 
period of four months from the date of accession. 

Romania and the new Member States are authorised to retain the authorisations with 
which  the  status  of  “approved  exporters”  has  been  granted  in  the  framework  of 
preferential  agreements  or  autonomous  arrangements  applied  between  them, 
provided that: 

(a) 

such  a  provision  is  also  provided  for  in  the  agreement  concluded  prior  to  the 
date of accession between Romania and the Community; and 

(b) 

the approved exporter apply the rules of origin in force under that agreement. 

These  authorisations  shall  be  replaced  no  later  than  one  year  after  the  date  of 
accession, by new authorisations issued under the conditions of the Agreement. 

Requests for subsequent verification of proof of origin issued under the preferential 
agreements  or  autonomous  arrangements  referred  to  in  paragraphs  1  and  2  above 
shall  be  accepted  by  the  competent  customs  authorities  of  either  Romania  or  the 
Member  States  for  a  period  of  three  years  after  the  issue  of  the  proof  of  origin 
concerned  and  may  be  made  by  those  authorities  for  a  period  of  three  years  after 
acceptance  of  the  proof  of  origin  submitted  to  those  authorities  in  support  of  an 
import declaration. 

Article 7

Revenue : 
2004 :  Loss as compared to the expected amount of duties for beef meat at a reduced rate (-2,1) and for pork 
meat (-2,5), provided the decision enters into force on 1/7/2004 
2005 :  Loss as compared to the expected import of pork meat at a reduced rate (-2,5) given that the duties on 
imported beef meat is already at 0. 

Expenditure:  
The abolishing of export refunds for pig meat, eggs, barley products and oats products could lead to a very 
minimal savings based on current trade.
