         DECISION No 1/2021 OF THE EU-SWITZERLAND JOINT COMMITTEE
         of 12 February 2021
         amending Tables III and IV of Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972, as amended (2021/274)
         THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
         Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972 (1), as amended by the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation of 26 October 2004 amending the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972 as regards the provisions applicable to processed agricultural products (2) (‘Agreement’), and in particular Article 7 of its Protocol 2,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     In accordance with Article 5(2) of Protocol 2 to the Agreement, the Union and the Swiss Confederation, as Contracting Parties, provided to the Joint Committee the 2019 domestic reference prices of all raw materials for which price compensation measures are applied. It follows from those prices that the actual price situation regarding those raw materials in the territory of the Contracting Parties has changed.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     It is therefore necessary to update the domestic reference prices and the price differences for agricultural raw materials listed in Table III of Protocol 2 to the Agreement, as well as to adapt the basic amounts of the agricultural raw materials listed in Table IV of that Protocol,

            Article 1
            Protocol 2 to the Agreement is amended as follows:

                        Table III is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Decision;
