1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) provides for progressive 
liberalisation of agricultural trade between Contracting Parties. To that end, Parties will carry 
out,  at  two-yearly  intervals,  reviews  of  the  conditions  of  trade  in  agricultural  products  and 
decide,  within  the  framework  of  this  agreement,  on  a  preferential,  bilateral  or  multilateral, 
reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis, on further reduction of any type of barriers to trade 
in the agricultural sector.  

Last agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the Kingdom of Norway and the 
European  Community  based  on  article  19  of  the  EEA  Agreement  came  into  force  in  July 
2003. It comprised the arrangements for reciprocal trade in cheese and mutual concessions for 
a variety of agricultural products, including tariff quotas. 

The present proposal is the result of bilateral trade negotiations in agriculture, conducted from 
March  2008  to  January  2010.  The  arrangement  provides  for  further  liberalisation  of 
agricultural trade. The new preferences will consist in additional full liberalisation for some 
sensitive  products,  thus  allowing  some  60%  of  agricultural  trade  between  the  Kingdom  of 
Norway and the European Union being completely free. For more sensitive products such as 
meat, dairy, fruit, vegetable and ornamental plants, tariff quotas or tariff reductions have been 
agreed upon. Specific provisions are foreseen as regards the management of tariff rate quotas 
for cheese. 

2. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

The  loss  of  customs  revenues  is  estimated  at  approximately  4.96  M€  (net  amount  after 
deduction of collection costs). 

On the basis of the above mentioned, the Commission proposes the Council to designate the 
person(s) empowered to sign the Agreement on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion.

AGREEMENT 

in the form of the Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Kingdom of 
Norway concerning additional trade preferences in agricultural products reached on the 
basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area 

A. Letter from the European Union 

Sir, 

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom 
of Norway on bilateral trade in agriculture, concluded on 28 January 2010.  

A  new  round  of  agricultural  trade  negotiations  between  the  European  Commission  and 
Norway  were  undertaken  on  the  basis  of  Article  19  of  the  Agreement  on  the  European 
Economic Area (the EEA Agreement), with a view to furthering progressive liberalisation of 
agricultural  trade  among  the  European  Union  and  Norway  (the  Parties),  on  a  preferential, 
reciprocal  and  mutually  beneficial  basis.  The  negotiations  were  carried  out  on  an  orderly 
basis,  with  due  consideration  to  the  evolution  of  respective  agricultural  policies  and 
circumstances, including the evolution of bilateral trade, as well as trade conditions with other 
trading partners worldwide. 

I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows: 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

6. 

7. 

Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in the European 
Union, listed in Annex I. 

Norway undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in the European 
Union, listed in Annex II. 

Norway undertakes to reduce import duties on products originating in the European 
Union, listed in Annex III. 

The European Union undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in 
Norway, listed in Annex IV. 

The European Union undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in 
Norway, listed in Annex V. 

Tariff  codes  set  out  in  Annexes  I  to  V  refer  to  those  applicable  in  the  Parties  on  1 
January 2009.  

Whenever  a future  WTO  agreement  on  agriculture is 
implemented  with 
commitments for new most favoured nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas 
into Norway on swine meat of 600 tons, poultry meat of 800 tons and beef meat of 
900 tons, as provided in Annex II, will be phased out  in  accordance with the same 
steps as the phasing in of the WTO quotas covering the same products.

The  Parties  agree  to  consolidate,  as  soon  as  possible,  all  bilateral  concessions  (the 
ones  already  existing  and  the  ones  foreseen  in  this  Exchange  of  Letters)  in  a  new 
Exchange of Letters, which should replace existing bilateral agricultural agreements.  

The  rules  of  origin  for  the  purpose  of  implementing  the  concessions  referred  to  in 
Annexes I to V are set out in Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992. 
However, Annex II to Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement shall be applied instead of 
the Appendix to Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992.  

The Parties will take steps to ensure that the benefits,  which they grant each other, 
will not be jeopardised by other restrictive import measures.  

The Parties agree to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that tariff quotas will 
be  managed  in  such  a  way  that  imports  may  take  place  regularly  and  that  the 
quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. 

The  Parties  agree  to  strive  for  promoting  trade  of  products  with  a  geographical 
indication. The Parties agree to engage into further bilateral discussion with a view to 
better  understand  respective  legislation  and  registration  procedures,  in  order  to 
identify ways to enhance the protection of respective geographical indications in the 
territories of both Parties and will look into the possibility to engage into a bilateral 
agreement to that purpose. 

The  Parties  agree  to  exchange  at  regular  interval  information  on  traded  products, 
tariff quota management, price quotations and any useful information concerning the 
respective  domestic  markets  and  the  implementation  of  the  results  of  these 
negotiations. 

Consultations will be  held  at the request of either party on any question relating to 
the  implementation  of  the  results  of  these  negotiations.  In  case  of  difficulty  in  the 
implementation of the results of these negotiations, these consultations will be held 
as  promptly  as  possible,  with  a  view  to  the  adoption  of  appropriate  corrective 
measures.  

The  Parties  note  that  the  Norwegian  customs  authorities  intend  to  review  the 
structure  of  Chapter  6  in  the  Norwegian  customs  tariff.  Consultations  will  be  held 
with  the  European  Commission  if  bilateral  preferences  will  be  influenced  by  this 
review. The Parties agree that this will be a technical exercise. 

The Parties reaffirm their commitment in accordance with the provisions of Article 
19  of  the  EEA  Agreement  to  continue  their  efforts  with  a  view  to  achieving 
progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade. To this end, the Parties agree to carry 
out in two years time a new review of the conditions of trade in agricultural products, 
with a view to explore possible concessions. 

As regards the current tariff quota of 4500 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, 
the Parties agree that the current administration of this tariff quota based on historical 
rights  and  newcomers  principle  should  be  replaced  from  2014  by  a  management 
system other than auctioning, such as licensing or first come first served system, for 
which modalities should be established by Norwegian authorities after consultations 
with the European Commission in view to a mutual understanding, in order to ensure 
that  the  tariff  quotas  will  be  managed  in  such  a  way  that  imports  may  take  place 

EN

   EN 

regularly, and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. The 
current  administration  on  basis  of  a  cheese  list,  as  referred  to  in  the  Exchange  of 
Letters of 11 April 1983, shall be abolished. 

Concerning  the  management  of  the  new  tariff  quota  of  2700  tons  of  cheese  on 
imports  into  Norway,  the  Parties  agree  it  will  fall  under  an  auctioning  system.  The 
administration by auctioning will be reviewed as set out in the preceding paragraphs. 
In particular, quota fill and auction fees will be assessed.  

The  tariff  quotas  of  7200  tons  of  cheese  on  imports  into  the  European  Union  and 
Norway shall apply to all types of cheese. 

18. 

In  case  of  further  enlargement  of  the  EU,  the  Parties  will  assess  the  impact  on 
bilateral trade, with a view to adapt  bilateral  preferences  in  a  way  that  pre-existing 
preferential trade flows between Norway and acceding countries can continue.  

This Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters shall enter into force on the first day of 
the second month following the date of the deposit of the last instrument of approval.  

I have the honour to confirm that the European Union is in agreement with the content of this 
letter. 

I would be grateful if you could confirm the agreement of your Government to the above. 

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

Whenever a future WTO agreement on agriculture is implemented with commitments for new most favoured 
nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas into Norway will be phased out in accordance with the same steps 
as the phasing in of the WTO quota covering the same products. 
The quota increase corresponds to tariff code 02.10.1100 at the time of the original concession in 2003. 
There will be no more restrictions as to the types of cheeses that can be imported into Norway.

B. Letter from the Kingdom of Norway 

Sir, 

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of […] which reads as follows: 

"I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom 
of Norway on bilateral trade in agriculture, concluded on 28 January 2010.  

A  new  round  of  agricultural  trade  negotiations  between  the  European  Commission  and 
Norway  were  undertaken  on  the  basis  of  Article  19  of  the  Agreement  on  the  European 
Economic Area (the EEA Agreement), with a view to furthering progressive liberalisation of 
agricultural  trade  among  the  European  Union  and  Norway  (the  Parties),  on  a  preferential, 
reciprocal  and  mutually  beneficial  basis.  The  negotiations  were  carried  out  on  an  orderly 
basis,  with  due  consideration  to  the  evolution  of  respective  agricultural  policies  and 
circumstances, including the evolution of bilateral trade, as well as trade conditions with other 
trading partners worldwide. 

I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows: 

1. 

2.

7. 

8. 

9. 

Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in the European 
Union, listed in Annex I. 

Norway undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in the European 
Union, listed in Annex II. 

Norway undertakes to reduce import duties on products originating in the European 
Union, listed in Annex III. 

The European Union undertakes to grant duty free access to products originating in 
Norway, listed in Annex IV. 

The European Union undertakes to establish tariff quotas for products originating in 
Norway, listed in Annex V. 

Tariff  codes  set  out  in  Annexes  I  to  V  refer  to  those  applicable  in  the  Parties  on  1 
January 2009.  

implemented  with 
Whenever  a future  WTO  agreement  on  agriculture is 
commitments for new most favoured nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas 
into Norway on swine meat of 600 tons, poultry meat of 800 tons and beef meat of 
900 tons, as provided in Annex II, will be phased out in accordance with the same 
steps as the phasing in of the WTO quotas covering the same products. 

The  Parties  agree  to  consolidate,  as  soon  as  possible,  all  bilateral  concessions  (the 
ones  already  existing  and  the  ones  foreseen  in  this  Exchange  of  letters)  in  a  new 
Exchange of Letters, which should replace existing bilateral agricultural agreements.  

The  rules  of  origin  for  the  purpose  of  implementing  the  concessions  referred  to  in 
Annexes I to V are set out in Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992. 
However, Annex II to Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement shall be applied instead of 
the Appendix to Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992.

The Parties will take steps to ensure that the  benefits, which  they grant each  other, 
will not be jeopardised by other restrictive import measures.  

The Parties agree to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that tariff quotas will 
be  managed  in  such  a  way  that  imports  may  take  place  regularly  and  that  the 
quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. 

The  Parties  agree  to  strive  for  promoting  trade  of  products  with  a  geographical 
indication. The Parties agree to engage into further bilateral discussion with a view to 
better  understand  respective  legislation  and  registration  procedures,  in  order  to 
identify ways to enhance the protection of respective geographical indications in the 
territories of both Parties and will look into the possibility to engage into a bilateral 
agreement to that purpose. 

The  Parties  agree  to  exchange  at  regular  interval  information  on  traded  products, 
tariff quota management, price quotations and any useful information concerning the 
respective  domestic  markets  and  the  implementation  of  the  results  of  these 
negotiations. 

Consultations will be held at the request of either  party  on any question relating to 
the  implementation  of  the  results  of  these  negotiations.  In  case  of  difficulty  in  the 
implementation of the results of these negotiations, these consultations will be held 
as  promptly  as  possible,  with  a  view  to  the  adoption  of  appropriate  corrective 
measures.  

The  Parties  note  that  the  Norwegian  customs  authorities  intend  to  review  the 
structure  of  Chapter  6  in  the  Norwegian  customs  tariff.  Consultations  will  be  held 
with  the  European  Commission  if  bilateral  preferences  will  be  influenced  by  this 
review. The Parties agree that this will be a technical exercise. 

The Parties reaffirm their commitment in accordance with the provisions of Article 
19  of  the  EEA  Agreement  to  continue  their  efforts  with  a  view  to  achieving 
progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade. To this end, the Parties agree to carry 
out in two years time a new review of the conditions of trade in agricultural products, 
with a view to explore possible concessions. 

As regards the current tariff quota of 4500 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, 
the Parties agree that the current administration of this tariff quota based on historical 
rights  and  newcomers  principle  should  be  replaced  from  2014  by  a  management 
system other than auctioning, such as licensing or first come first served system, for 
which modalities should be established by Norwegian authorities after consultations 
with the European Commission in view to a mutual understanding, in order to ensure 
that  the  tariff  quotas  will  be  managed  in  such  a  way  that  imports  may  take  place 
regularly, and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. The 
current  administration  on  basis  of  a  cheese  list,  as  referred  to  in  the  Exchange  of 
Letters of 11 April 1983, shall be abolished. 

Concerning  the  management  of  the  new  tariff  quota  of  2700  tons  of  cheese  on 
imports  into  Norway,  the  Parties  agree  it  will  fall  under  an  auctioning  system.  The 
administration by auctioning will be reviewed as set out in the preceding paragraphs. 
In particular, quota fill and auction fees will be assessed.

   EN 

The  tariff  quotas  of  7200  tons  of  cheese  on  imports  into  the  European  Union  and 
Norway shall apply to all types of cheese. 

18. 

In  case  of  further  enlargement  of  the  EU,  the  Parties  will  assess  the  impact  on 
bilateral trade,  with a view to adapt  bilateral preferences  in  a  way that pre-existing 
preferential trade flows between Norway and acceding countries can continue.  

This Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters shall enter into force on the first day of 
the second month following the date of deposit of the last instrument of approval." 

I have the honour to confirm that the Government of Norway is in agreement with the content 
of your letter. 

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

The  proposal  concerns  the  signature  of  an  Agreement  in  the  form  of  Exchange  of  Letters  between  the  European 
Union and the Kingdom of Norway, concerning reciprocal additional trade preferences in agricultural products. It's 
expected that the Agreement enters into force early 2011. There is not any financial impact on the expenditure side. 
As regards own resources, (agricultural duties) it's estimated that this proposal may result in a reduction of these 
resources by approximately 4.96 M€ (net amount after deduction of collection costs by Member States). 
Calculation: Annex IV: Average 2007-2009 imports: 2.7 M€ + Annex V: Average 2007-2009 imports: 3.9 M€. The 
total: 6.6 M€, less 1.7 M€ of collection costs = 4.96 M€.
