      DECISION No 2/2008 OF THE EC-SWITZERLAND JOINT COMMITTEE
   
   of 24 September 2008
   replacing Tables III and IV(b) of Protocol No 2
   (2008/811/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)
            
            
               It is therefore necessary to update the reference prices and amounts listed in Tables III and IV(b) to Protocol No 2 accordingly.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               As the volatility of the markets is expected to continue, the parties will exchange domestic price information on a bimonthly basis and if substantial differences become apparent an amendment to this Decision may follow,
            
         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Article 1
   Tables III and IV(b) of Protocol No 2 are replaced by the tables in Annex I and Annex II to this Decision.
