Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

concerning the Community position on the adaptations of Annexes 1 and 2 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

In order to take into account the preferential agricultural trade flows between Switzerland and Bulgaria and Romania, which pre-existed the last enlargement of the European Union, Annexes 1 and 2 of the "Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products" need to be modified. This modification will consolidate the autonomous tariff quotas already opened to this effect[1]. Annexes 1 and 2 also need to be modified, in order to consolidate in this Agreement the bilateral preferential trade flows in sausages and certain meat products opened on an autonomous basis[2].

The Council is invited to decide on the common position to be adopted within the Joint Committee for Agriculture regarding the adaptations of the bilateral trade concessions in Annexes 1 and 2 of the above mentioned Agreement.

The measure does not imply any modification on expenditure foreseen in the Community budget. On the revenue side, it is estimated that it has no financial consequences.

The decision of the Joint Committee for Agriculture shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union .
