EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The  Joint  Declaration  on  further  negotiations  attached  to  the  final  acts  of  the  Agreements 
between  the  European  Community  and  its  Member  States  and  the  Swiss  Confederation, 
signed in Luxembourg on 21 June 1999 calls on the Community and Switzerland to undertake 
negotiations  for  the  updating  of  Protocol  No  2  to  the  Agreement  between  the  European 
Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972. 

The  Council  authorised  the  Commission  to  start  negotiations.  The  negotiation  directives 
attached to the Decision of the Council set out the following objectives: 

(a) Update the Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community 
and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972, in accordance with the results of the Uruguay 
Round and to adapt its product coverage; 

(b) Resolve outstanding problems affecting trade, all of them taking account of the existing 
trade arrangements for basic agricultural products 

(c) Make permanent the transitional measures agreed with the Swiss authorities in connection 
with the implementation of the agreement reach in view to maintain the trade flow between 
the Swiss Confederation and the new member States after enlargement of the European Union 
as of 1st May 2004; 

(d) Improve reciprocal market access for processed agricultural products 

The Commission started the negotiations with Switzerland at the end of 2001 and concluded 
them on 25 June 2004 by the initialling of a draft for an Agreement amending the Agreement 
between  the  European  Economic  Community  and  the  Swiss  Confederation  of  22  July  1972 
(the Agreement) as regards the provisions applicable to processed agricultural products. 

The Agreement will replace both the Annex I of the Agreement of  1972 by a new Annex I 
which is attached to this Agreement as Annex 1 and the Protocol No 2 of the Agreement of 
1972 by a new Protocol No 2, which is attached to this Agreement as Annex 2. 

The  updated  Protocol  No  2  provides  a  definitive  solution  to  the  problems,  which  have 
emerged  in  recent  years  concerning  the  trade  between  the  two  parties  in  soft  drinks  of 
heading 2202. So far, these problems were dealt provisionally with the Agreement in the form 
of an exchange of letters of 17 March 2000. 

According  to  the  general  orientation  to  follow  a  more  market-oriented  approach,  reference 
prices are to be adapted periodically according to Article 5, paragraph 4 of the Protocol No 2.

Annex 2 

Article 1 

General Principles 

The  provisions  of  the  Agreement  shall  apply  to  products  listed  in  Tables  I  and  II 
unless otherwise specified in this Protocol.  

In  particular,  with  respect  to  these  products,  the  Contracting  Parties  may  not  levy 
customs duties on imports or charges having equivalent effect, including agricultural 
components, or grant export refunds or any refund, remission or non-payment, partial 
or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect. 

The  provisions  of  this  Protocol  shall  likewise  apply  to  the  Principality  of 
Liechtenstein  until  the  application  of  Protocol 3  to  the  Agreement  on  the  European 
Economic Area to the Principality of Liechtenstein. 

Article 2 

Application of price compensation measures 

In  order  to  take  account  of  differences  in  the  cost  of  the  agricultural  raw  materials 
used in the manufacture of the products specified in Table I, the Agreement does not 
preclude the application of price compensation measures to these products; that is the 
levying of agricultural components upon import and the granting of export refunds or 
the granting of refunds, remissions or non-payments, partial or complete of customs 
duties or charges having an equivalent effect. 

If  a  Contracting  Party  applies  internal  measures,  which  reduce  the  price  of  raw 
materials to processing industries, these measures shall be taken into account in the 
calculation of the price compensation amounts. 

Article 3 

Price compensation measures on imports 

the  agricultural  raw  materials 

Switzerland’s  basic  amounts  for 
into 
consideration  in  calculating  the  agricultural  components  on  imports  shall  neither 
exceed  the  difference  between  the  Swiss  domestic  reference  price  and  the 
Community’s  domestic  reference  price  for  the  respective  agricultural  raw  material 
nor  the  Swiss  import  duty  actually  applied  for  the  agricultural  raw  material  when 
imported as such.

If  the  Swiss  domestic  reference  price  is  lower  than  the  Community’s  domestic 
reference price, the Community may introduce the price compensation measures as 
laid down in Article 2 that is the levying of agricultural components upon import, in 
accordance with Regulation (EC) 1460/96 and it successors.  

Article 4 

Price compensation measures on exports 

The  Swiss  export  refunds  or  refunds,  remissions  or  non-payments,  partial  or 
complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect for exports to the 
Community for products listed in Table I shall not exceed the difference between the 
Swiss  domestic  reference  price  and  the  Community’s  domestic  reference  price  for 
the  agricultural  raw  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  these  products  multiplied 
with  the  quantities  actually  used.  If  the  Swiss  domestic  reference  price  is  equal  or 
lower  than  the  Community’s  domestic  reference  price,  the  Swiss  export  refund  or 
refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges

Contracting  Parties  may  not  grant  any  export  refunds  or  any  refund,  remission  or 
non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent 
effect. 

Article 5 

Reference prices 

The Community and Swiss  domestic  reference prices for  agricultural  raw materials 
mentioned in Articles 3 and 4 are listed in Table III.  

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  periodically,  at  least  once  every  year,  provide  to  the 
Joint  Committee  the  domestic  reference  prices  of  all  raw  materials  for  which  price 
compensation  measures  are  applied.  The  domestic  reference  prices,  which  are 
provided,  shall  reflect  the  actual  price  situation  in  the  territory  of  the  Contracting 
Party. They shall be the prices normally paid at the wholesale or the manufacturing 
stage  by  processing  industries.  If  an  agricultural  raw  material  is  available  to  the 
processing industry, or to a part of it, at a price lower than the one otherwise ruling 
on  the  domestic  market,  the  domestic  reference  prices  provided  shall  be  adjusted 
accordingly. 

3. 

The Joint Committee shall fix the domestic reference prices and the price differences, 
for  agricultural  raw  materials  listed  in  Table  III  on  the  basis  of  the  information

APPENDIX TO PROTOCOL NO 2 

Provisions on administrative co-operation  

The  Contracting  Parties  agree  that  administrative  co-operation  is  essential  for  the 
implementation  and  the  control  of  the  preferential  treatment  granted  under  this 
Protocol  and  underline  their  commitment  to  combat  irregularities  and  fraud  in 
customs and related matters.  

Where a Contracting Party has made a finding, on the basis of objective information, 
of  a  failure  to  provide  administrative  co-operation  and/or  of  irregularities  or  fraud 
under  this  Protocol,  the  Contracting  Party  concerned  may  temporarily  suspend  the 
relevant  preferential  treatment  of  the  product(s)  concerned  in  accordance  with  this 
Annex. 

For  the  purpose  of  this  Appendix  a  failure  to  provide  administrative  co-operation 
shall mean, interalia: 

a) 

b) 

c) 

a  repeated  failure  to  respect  the  obligations  to  verify  the  originating  status  of 
the product(s) concerned; 

a  repeated  refusal  or  undue  delay  in  carrying  out  and/or  communicating  the 
results of subsequent verification of the proof of origin; 

a  repeated  refusal  or  undue  delay  in  obtaining  authorisation  to  conduct 
administrative co-operation missions to verify the authenticity of documents or 
accuracy of information relevant to the granting of the preferential treatment in 
question. 

For  the  purpose  of  this  Appendix  a  finding  of  irregularities  or  fraud  may  be  made, 
inter alia, where there is a rapid increase, without satisfactory explanation, in imports 
of  goods  exceeding  the  usual  level  of  production  and  export  capacity  of  the  other 
Contracting Party that is linked to objective information concerning irregularities or 
fraud. 

4. 

The  application  of  a  temporary  suspension  shall  be  subject  to  the  following 
conditions: 

a) 

The  Contracting  Party  which  has  made  a  finding,  on  the  basis  of  objective 
information,  of  a  failure  to  provide  administrative  co-operation  and/or  of 
irregularities or fraud in customs and related matters shall without undue delay 
notify  the  Joint  Committee  of  its  finding  together  with  the  objective 
information  and  enter  into  consultations  within  the  Joint  Committee,  on  the 
basis of all relevant information and objective findings, with a view to reaching 
a solution acceptable to both Contracting Parties . 

b)  Where the Contracting Parties have entered into consultations within the Joint 
Committee as above and have failed to agree on an acceptable solution within 
3  months  following  the  notification,  the  Contracting  Party  concerned  may 
temporarily  suspend  the  relevant  preferential  treatment  of  the  product(s) 

EN

   EN 

 
concerned.  A  temporary  suspension  shall  be  notified  to  the  Joint  Committee 
without undue delay.  

c) 

Temporary suspensions under this Appendix shall be limited to that necessary 
to protect the financial interests of the Contracting Party concerned. They shall 
not  exceed  a  period  of  six  months,  which  may  be  renewed.  Temporary 
suspensions  shall  be  notified  immediately  after  their  adoption  to  the  Joint 
Committee.  They  shall  be  subject  to  periodic  consultations  within  the  Joint 
Committee  in  particular  with  a  view  to  their  termination  as  soon  as  the 
conditions for their application are no longer given. 

5. 

At the same time as the notification to the Joint Committee under paragraph 4a) of 
this Appendix, the Contracting Party concerned should publish a notice to importers 
in  its  Official  Journal.  The  notice  to  importers  should  indicate  for  the  product 
concerned that there is a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to 
provide administrative co-operation and/or of irregularities or fraud.
