ANNEX

PROTOCOL 1

concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the Community of agricultural products originating in
Egypt

The products listed in the Annex, originating in Egypt, shall be admitted for importation into the Community,

1.
pursuant to the conditions set out below and in the Annex.

2. (a) Customs duties shall be either eliminated or reduced as indicated in column ‘A’.

(b) For certain products, for which the Common Customs Tariff provides for the application of an ad valorem duty and
a specific duty, the rates of reduction, indicated in columns ‘A’ and ‘C’, shall apply only to the ad valorem duty.

However, for the products falling under the codes 0703 20 00, 0709 90 39, 0709 90 60, 0711 20 90,
0712 90 19, 0714 20 90, 1006, 1212 91, 1212 99 20, 1703 and 2302, the concession granted should also
apply to specific duties.

3.

For certain products, customs duties shall be eliminated within the limit of the tariff quotas listed in column ‘B’.

These tariff quotas shall apply on an annual basis from 1 January to 31 December, unless otherwise specified.

For the quantities imported in excess of the quotas, the common customs duties shall, according to the product
concerned, be applied in full or reduced, as indicated in column ‘C’.

For the first year 2004, the volumes of the tariff quotas and the increases of the volumes of existing tariff quotas shall be
calculated as a pro rata of the basic volumes specified in the Protocol, taking into account the part of the period elapsed
before 1 May 2004.

For the products for which the specific provisions in column ‘D’ refer to this paragraph, the tariff quota volumes
4.
listed in column ‘B’ shall be increased annually by 3 % of the volume of the previous year; the first increase taking place
one year after the entry into force of this agreement.

5.
For sweet oranges, fresh, falling within CN codes 0805 10 10, 0805 10 30 and 0805 10 50, within the limit of the
tariff quota of 34 000 tonnes applicable for the concession on the ad valorem customs duties, the agreed entry price
between the European Community and Egypt, from which the specific duty provided in the Community's list of
concessions to the WTO is reduced to zero, is:

EUR 264/tonne, for every period from 1 December to 31 May.

If the entry price for a consignment is 2, 4, 6 or 8 % lower than the agreed entry price, the specific customs quota duty
shall be equal respectively to 2, 4, 6 or 8 % of this agreed entry price. If the entry price of a consignment is less than 92 %
of the agreed entry price, the specific customs duty bound within the WTO shall apply.
