between the European Community and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal 
liberalisation measures on agricultural, processed agricultural products and fish and 
fishery products and the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and of the Annex to

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Articles 14 and 15 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between 
the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, 
of  the  other  part  (“Association  Agreement”)  in  force  since  1  June  2000,  states  that  the 
Community  and  Israel  shall  gradually  implement  greater  liberalisation  of  their  trade  in 
agricultural and fish and fishery products. Article 9(4) of the Association Agreement foresees 
the possibility for further mutual tariff concessions in processed agricultural products listed in 
Annexes II to VI of the agreement. 

On  14  November  2005  the  Council  has  authorised  the  Commission  to  conduct  negotiations 
within  the  framework  of  the  Euro-Mediterranean  Agreement  with  the  State  of  Israel, taking 
into  account  the  progress  made  by  Israel  as  regards  the  European  Neighbourhood  Policy 
Action  Plan,  in  order  to  achieve  greater  liberalisation  of  reciprocal  trade  in  agricultural, 
processed  agricultural  products  and  fish  and  fishery  products,  in  the  spirit  of  the  Barcelona 
Process  and  in  line  with  the  principles  of  the  European  Neighbourhood  Policy  and  the 
conclusions  of  the  Euro-Mediterranean  Conference  of  Ministers  of  Foreign  Affairs  in 
Luxembourg on 30-31 May 2005. In this context and on the basis of the conclusions of the 
Euro-Mediterranean Ministerial Conference on Agriculture in Venice of 27 November 2003, 
the following measures in particular should form an integral part of the negotiation process: 
sanitary  and  phytosanitary  measures;  the  approximation  of  technical  standards  and  the 
harmonisation of legislation; and the protection of geographical indications.  

The European Commission and Israel officially opened the negotiations on 19 June 2006 in 
Tel-Aviv that were concluded on 30 April 2008 in Tel-Aviv and the Agreed Minutes on the 
deal  reached  were  initialled  on  18  July  2008  in  Brussels.  The  compensations  regarding  the 
enlargement of the Community to include Bulgaria and Romania formed an  integral part of 
the negotiations. In order to implement the results of the negotiations concluded with Israel, 
the  Commission  proposes  to  the  Council  to  adopt,  the  replacement  of  Article  7,  deletion  of 
Article  9,  deletion  of  Annexes  I  to  VI,  the  modification  of  the  title  of  Chapter  3,  the 
replacement of Article 10, the amendments of Articles 12 and 13, the replacement of Article 
14,  the  deletion  of  Article  15  and  replacement  of  the  Protocols  1  and  2  and  of  Annex  to 
Protocol 1 and Annex to Protocol 2. 

Furthermore,  regarding  the  protection  of  geographical  indications  and  denominations  of 
origin, Parties agreed to have a separate dialogue on this subject. A Common Declaration is 
added to this agreement.  

On sanitary and phytosanitary issues Israel should adopt a Phytosanitary Law, which is in line 
with  the  international  standards  such  as  those  laid  down  by  the  WTO  and  OIE,  before  the 
entry into force of the attached agreement. However, if this will be not the case, the Parties 
agreed that for products within the scope of the Israeli Phytosanitary Law the entry into force 
of this agreement will not be earlier than the day of the notification by Israel of the entry into 
force of the above-mentioned Law.  

The intention of both sides is that this Agreement enters into force early in 2009. 

In consequence the Commission propose to the Council to adopt the annexed Decision.

Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Harmonised System (HS) or of the Israeli tariff nomenclature, the wording

Preferential duties beyond the tariff quota established in Table 3 of this Annex.

OBSERVATIONS: 
The  proposal  concerns  reciprocal  liberalisation  measures  on  trade  of  agricultural  and  processed  agricultural 
products and fish and fishery products. As regards own resources, it's estimated that this proposal may result in a 
reduction of these resources by approximately 3.5 M€ (net amount after deduction of collection costs).
