      DECISION No 3/2007 OF THE EC-SWITZERLAND JOINT COMMITTEE
   
   of 23 August 2007
   replacing Tables III and IV (b) to protocol No 2
   (2007/596/EC)
   THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
   Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Swiss Confederation, of the other part, signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, as amended by the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation amending the Agreement as regards the provisions applicable to processed agricultural products signed in Luxembourg on 26 October 2004, and its Protocol No 2, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               For the implementation of Protocol No 2 to the Agreement, internal reference prices are fixed for the Contracting Parties by the Joint Committee.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Actual prices have changed on the domestic markets of the Contracting Parties as regards raw materials for which price compensation measures are applied.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The domestic reference prices of all raw materials were fixed by the Joint Committee at the end of 2006. The domestic reference prices should periodically, at least once a year, be reviewed.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               As the market for cereals seemed to be really volatile by the end of 2006 a review in May was foreseen.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               As the review of the cereal prices resulted in substantially different figures it is necessary to update the reference prices and amounts listed in tables III and IV(b) to Protocol No 2 accordingly,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Table III and the table IV under b of Protocol No 2 are replaced by the tables in Annex I and Annex II to this Decision.
   Article 2
   This decision shall apply as of 1 August 2007.
   
      Done at Brussels, 23 August 2007.
