1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

On  14  October  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.  

The European Commission and Israel officially opened the negotiations on 19 June 2006 in 
Tel-Aviv and concluded on 30 April 2008. The new Agreement in the form of an Exchange of 
Letters was signed on 4.11.2009 in Brussels and entered into force on 1.1.2010.  

After the application of the new agreement, on 26 April 2010, the Israeli Embassy signalled a 
problem – customs duty charged on import into the EU of chemically pure lactose originating 
in Israel. 

After  deep  analysis,  the  Commission  services  came  to  the  conclusion  that,  as  during 
negotiations  the  initial  wording  of  Article  7:  definition  of  industrial  products  in  the  EU-IL 
Association  agreement1  was  modified  in  order  to  align  it  with  the  WTO  definition,  the 
Commission  unintentionally  withdrew  an  existing  tariff  concession.  In  the  new  Protocol  1 
(EU concessions granted to Israel), in the list of sensitive products, CN subheadings 1702 11 
00 (chemically pure lactose) ex 1702 30 50 and ex 1702 30 90 (chemically pure glucose) were 
not mentioned as excluded from heading 1702 (which during the negotiations with Israel was 
on the whole considered as sensitive on the EU side). Therefore, since 1.1.2010, the EU side 
was applying full duty to imports from Israel of chemically pure lactose and glucose. These 
technical changes are required in order to comply with the commitments on market access of 
agricultural products and processed agricultural products of the previous Agreements.  

Using  the  opportunity  of  these  necessary  technical  modifications  of  the  Association 
Agreement,  some  additional  technical  corrections  for  processed  agricultural  products  were 
also  included,  in  order  to  clarify  an  interpretation  in  the  interest  of  legal  certainty  of  the 
Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters signed on 4 November 2009 between the 
European Communities and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures 
on the above mentioned products.  

The European Commission and the State of Israel concluded the negotiations on the necessary 
technical modifications on 19 September 2011 in Brussels and the Agreed Minutes with the 
draft Agreement in the form of and Exchange of Letters were initialled on the same day. In 
order to implement the results of this technical adaptation concluded with the State of Israel, 
the Commission proposes to the Council to adopt the attached Exchange of Letters.

Article 7 EU-IL AA on the definition of industrial products – initial wording: "The provisions of this 
Chapter  shall  apply  to  products  originating  in  the  Community  and  in  Israel  other  than  those  listed  in 
Annex  II  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community  and,  as  far  as  products  originating  in 
Israel are concerned, other than those listed in Annex I to this Agreement."

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

On  14  November  2005,  the  Council  authorised  the  Commission  to  conduct 
negotiations in order to achieve greater liberalisation of trade in agricultural products, 
processed  agricultural  products  and  fish  and  fishery  products  with  certain 
Mediterranean countries. The negotiations with Israel were successfully concluded on 
18 July 2008. The results of those negotiations are contained in an Agreement in the 
form  of  an  Exchange  of  Letters  concerning  reciprocal  liberalisation  measures  on 
agricultural  products,  processed  agricultural  products  and  fish  and  fishery  products, 
the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their Annexes and amendments to the Euro-
the  European 
Mediterranean  agreement  establishing  an  association  between 
Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the 
other  part  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  ‘the  Agreement  in  the  form  of  an  Exchange  of 
Letters’), which entered into force on 1 January 2010. 

After the entry into force of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters the 
European  Commission  and  Israel  had  some  technical  meetings  related  to  its 
implementation.  These  meetings  showed  that  some  technical  adjustments  were 
necessary  in  order  to  comply  with  the  commitments  of  the  previous  agreements 
between the European Communities and the State of Israel, which entered into force in 
2000  and  2006.  On  19  September  2011,  the  Commission  and  Israel  concluded  the 
negotiation  of  the  necessary  technical  adaptations,  which  are  contained  in  a  new 
Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union, of the 
one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, amending Annexes to Protocols 1 
and  2  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 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’).

Letter from the European Union 

Brussels, ………. 2011 

Sir, 

I  have  the  honour  to  refer  to  the  technical  meetings  related  to  implementation  of  the 
Agreement  in  the  form  of  an  Exchange  of  Letters  concerning  reciprocal  liberalisation 
measures  on  agricultural  products,  processed  agricultural  products  and  fish  and  fishery 
products,  the  replacement  of  Protocols  1  and  2  and  their  Annexes  and  amendments  to  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,  signed  in  Brussels  on  4  November  2009.  In  these  meetings  it  has  been  concluded  that 
some technical amendments are necessary.  

Therefore, I propose that the Annex to Protocol 1 concerning the arrangements applicable to 
imports into the European Union of agricultural products, processed agricultural products and 
fish and fishery products originating in the State of Israel and Annex to Protocol 2 concerning 
the  arrangements  applicable  to  imports  into  the  State  of  Israel  of  agricultural  products,

European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of 
the other part, in force since 1 January 2010 be replaced by the Annexes attached hereto, with 
effect as of 1 January 2010. 

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

I  would  be  grateful  if  you  could  confirm  that  your  Government  is  in  agreement  with  the

CN codes corresponding to Regulation (EC) No 861/2010 (OJ L 284, 29.10. 2010, p. 1). 

Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, the wording for the description of the products is 
to be considered as having no more than an indicative value, the preferential scheme being determined, within the context of 
this Annex, by the coverage of the CN codes. Where "ex" CN codes are indicated, the preferential scheme is to be determined 
by the application of the CN codes and corresponding description taken together.  

Entry  under  this  subheading  is  subject  to  the  conditions  laid  down  in  the  relevant  Community  provisions  (Part  10  of  Part  B 
(Specific Marketing Standards) of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, as amended). 

Within this tariff quota the specific duty provided in the Community's list of concessions to the WTO is reduced to zero for the 
period from 1 December to 31 May, if the entry price is not less than EUR 264/tonne, being the entry price agreed between the 
European Commission and Israel. 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. 

In this respect, "agricultural component" is the specific part of the duty established in Regulation (EC) No 861/2010 (OJ L 284, 
29.10. 2010, p. 1).

For those products the applicable duty beyond the tariff quota is established in Table 3 of this Annex.

Israeli codes corresponding to the Israeli Customs file, published in Jerusalem on 1.1.2010 Version 1590. 

Notwithstanding  the  rules  for  the  interpretation  of  the  Harmonised  System  (HS)  or  of  the  Israeli  tariff  nomenclature,  the 
wording  for  the  description  of  the  products  is  to  be  considered  as  having  no  more  than  an  indicative  value,  the  preferential

Where "ex" HS codes or "ex" Israeli tariff codes are indicated, the preferential scheme is to be determined by the application of 
the HS codes or Israeli tariff codes and corresponding description taken together. 

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

Agricultural  Component  shall  continue  to  be  fixed  according  to  the  guidelines  set  in  the  Memorandum  concerning  the  Price

Letter from Israel 

Tel Aviv/Brussels, ………. 2011 

Sir/Madam, 

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

"I  have  the  honour  to  refer  to  the  technical  meetings  related  to  implementation  of  the 
Agreement  in  the  form  of  an  Exchange  of  Letters  concerning  reciprocal  liberalisation 
measures  on  agricultural  products,  processed  agricultural  products  and  fish  and  fishery 
products,  the  replacement  of  Protocols  1  and  2  and  their  Annexes  and  amendments  to  the 
the  European 
Euro-Mediterranean  agreement  establishing  an  association  between 
Communities  and  their  Member  States,  of  the  one  part,  and  the  State  of  Israel,  of  the  other 
part,  signed  in  Brussels  on  4  November  2009.  In  these  meetings  it  has  been  concluded  that 
some technical amendments are necessary.  

Therefore, I propose that the Annex to Protocol 1 concerning the arrangements applicable to 
imports into the European Union of agricultural products, processed agricultural products and 
fish and fishery products originating in the State of Israel and Annex to Protocol 2 concerning 
the  arrangements  applicable  to  imports  into  the  State  of  Israel  of  agricultural  products, 
processed  agricultural  products  and  fish  and  fishery  products  originating  in  the  European 
Union  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, in force since 1 January 2010 be replaced by the Annexes attached hereto, with 
effect as of 1 January 2010. 

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

I have the honour to inform you that the State of Israel is in agreement with the content of this 
letter. 

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

On behalf of the State of Israel
