part, and Romania, of the other part, concerning the improvements of the trade 
arrangements for processed agricultural products provided for in Protocol 3 of the

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Under the terms of Article 20 of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities 
and  their  Member  States,  of  the  one  part,  and  Romania,  of  the  other  part,  approved  by  the 
Decision  of  the  Council  and  of  the  Commission  (94/907/CECA,  CE,  Euratom)  of  19 
December  19941,  Protocol  3  lays  down  the  trade  arrangements  for  processed  agricultural 
products listed therein. Protocol 3 was amended by the Protocol adapting the trade aspects of 
the Europe Agreement2. 

In  October  2002,  Council  directives  authorised  the  Commission  to  enter  into  negotiations 
with  Romania  with  a  view  to  improving  the  trade  arrangement  for  processed  agricultural 
products in preparation for accession. 

On 18 May 2004, the two parties have reached a draft agreement, which envisages complete 
liberalisation  of  trade,  duty  free  quotas  or  a  reduction  of  import  duties.  For  some  of  the 
imports  outside  of  the  quotas,  the  current  trade  provisions  as  laid  down  in  the  existing 
Protocol 3 will continue to apply. 

Processed Agricultural Products, not covered by Annex I to the Treaty will not be eligible for 
export  refunds  under  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  1520/2000  of  13  July  2000  laying 
down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on 
certain  agricultural  products  exported  in  the  form  of  goods,  not  covered  by  Annex  I  to  the 
Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amounts of such refunds3.  

The  Association  Council  can  decide  on  the  extension  of  the  list  of  PAPs  under  Protocol  3, 
amendments of the duties and increases or abolition of the tariff quotas.  

Therefore, the Council is invited to adopt the proposal for a Council Decision on the position 
to  be  taken  by  the  Community  in  the  Association  Council  with  the  aim  to  implement  the 
results of the negotiations which will lead to the improvement of certain trade arrangements 
under Protocol 3.

The  Europe  Agreement5  establishes  an  association  between 
the  European

Its Protocol 3 establishes the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products.  

New  trade  improvements  have  recently  been  negotiated  which  aim  to  improve 
economic  convergence  in  preparation  for  accession  and  lay  down  concessions  in  the 
form  of  either  complete  liberalisation  of  trade  for  certain  processed  agricultural 
products, reduction of duties or tariff quotas. For certain imports outside of the quotas 
the current trade provisions continue to apply. 

Under  Protocol  3,  the  Association  Council  shall  decide  on  any  amendment  of  the 
duties mentioned in the annexes to this Agreement and on the increase or abolition of 
tariff quotas. 

The  Association  Council  also  decides  that  the  duties  applied  may  be  reduced  in 
response  to  reductions  resulting  from  mutual  concessions  relating  to  processed 
agricultural products. 

Commission  Regulation  No  2271/20036  opened  for  the  year  2004  tariff  quotas  on 
imports into the Community of certain goods originating in Romania. Only quantities 
for the tariff quotas with Order No 09.5435, Order No 09.5437 and Order No 09.5443 
should continue to apply for the year 2004.

EC-Romania ASSOCIATION COUNCIL DECISION No... /2004 
concerning the improvement of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural

THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL, 

Having  regard  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, and in

Protocol  3  lays  down  the  trade  arrangements  for  processed  agricultural  products 
between  the  Community  and  Romania.  Protocol  3  has  last  been  amended  by  the 
Protocol adapting the trade aspects of the European Agreement8. 

New  trade  improvements  have  recently  been  negotiated  to  facilitate  economic 
convergence  in  preparation  for  accession  and  lay  down  concessions  in  the  form  of 
complete  liberalisation  of  trade  for  certain  processed  agricultural  products,  reduced 
duties or tariff quotas for others.  

Under  the  second  indent  of  Article  1  (2)  of  Protocol  3  the  Association  Council 
decides  that  the  duties  applied  may  be  reduced  in  response  to  reductions  resulting 
from mutual concessions relating to processed agricultural products. 

On certain processed agricultural products covered by Protocol 3 but not listed in this 
Decision or for which the opened quotas are exhausted the existing trade provisions 
laid down by Protocol 3 should continue to apply. 

For processed agricultural products not covered by Annex I to the Treaty no export 
refunds should be granted under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 
July  2000  laying  down  common  detailed  rules  for  the  application  of  the  system  of 
granting  export  refunds  on  certain  agricultural  products  exported  in  the  form  of 
goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of 
such refunds9. 

For goods originating in Romania and exported to the Community no export refunds 
should be granted. 

The  annual  quotas  provided  for  in  Appendix  III  and  Appendix  IV  to  this  Decision 
should be opened under the conditions specified in these Appendixes.
