    AGREEMENT

    in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway concerning additional trade preferences in agricultural products reached on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area

    A.   Letter from the European Union

    Sir,

    I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway on bilateral trade in agriculture, concluded on 28 January 2010.

    A new round of agricultural trade negotiations between the European Commission and Norway were undertaken on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (the EEA Agreement), with a view to furthering progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade among the European Union and Norway (the Parties), on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis. The negotiations were carried out on an orderly basis, with due consideration for the evolution of the Parties’ respective agricultural policies and circumstances, including the evolution of bilateral trade, as well as trade conditions with other trading partners worldwide.

    I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

    1.

    Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to the products listed in Annex I originating in the European Union.

    2.

    Norway undertakes to establish tariff quotas for the products listed in Annex II originating in the European Union.

    3.

    Norway undertakes to reduce import duties on the products listed in Annex III originating in the European Union.

    4.

    The European Union undertakes to grant duty free access to the products listed in Annex IV originating in Norway.

    5.

    The European Union undertakes to establish tariff quotas for the products listed in Annex V originating in Norway.

    6.

    The tariff codes set out in Annexes I to V refer to those applicable to the Parties on 1 January 2009.

    7.

    Whenever a future WTO agreement on agriculture is implemented with commitments for new most favoured nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas into Norway on swine meat of 600 tons, poultry meat of 800 tons and beef meat of 900 tons, as provided in Annex II, will be phased out in accordance with the same steps as the phasing in of the WTO quotas covering the same products.

    8.

    The Parties agree to consolidate, as soon as possible, all bilateral concessions (those already existing and those foreseen in this Exchange of Letters) in a new Exchange of Letters, which should replace existing bilateral agricultural agreements.

    9.

    The rules of origin for the purpose of implementing the concessions referred to in Annexes I to V are set out in Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992. However, Annex II to Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement shall be applied instead of the Appendix to Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992.

    10.

    The Parties will take steps to ensure that the benefits which they grant each other will not be jeopardised by other restrictive import measures.

    11.

    The Parties agree to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that tariff quotas be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported.

    12.

    The Parties agree to strive to promote trade in products with a geographical indication. The Parties agree to engage in further bilateral discussions with a view to better understanding their respective legislation and registration procedures, in order to identify ways to enhance the protection of respective geographical indications in their territories and will look into the possibility of reaching a bilateral agreement to that end.

    13.

    The Parties agree to exchange at regular intervals information on traded products, tariff quota management, price quotations and any useful information concerning their respective domestic markets and the implementation of the results of these negotiations.

    14.

    Consultations will be held at the request of either party on any question relating to the implementation of the results of these negotiations. In case of difficulty in the implementation of such results, consultations will be held as promptly as possible, with a view to the adoption of appropriate corrective measures.

    15.

    The Parties note that the Norwegian customs authorities intend to review the structure of Chapter 6 in the Norwegian customs tariff. Consultations will be held with the European Commission if bilateral preferences will be influenced by this review. The Parties agree that this will be a technical exercise.

    16.

    The Parties reaffirm their commitment, in accordance with Article 19 of the EEA Agreement, to continue their efforts with a view to achieving progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade. To this end, the Parties agree to carry out in 2 years’ time a new review of the conditions of trade in agricultural products with a view to exploring possible concessions.

    17.

    As regards the current tariff quota of 4 500 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, the Parties agree that the current administration of this tariff quota based on historical rights and the newcomers principle should be replaced from 2014 by a management system other than auctioning, such as licensing or a ‘first come first served’ system. The modalities for such a system should be established by the Norwegian authorities after consultation with the European Commission with a view to reaching a mutual understanding in order to ensure that the tariff quotas be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly, and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. The current administration on the basis of a cheese list, as referred to in the Exchange of Letters of 11 April 1983, shall be abolished.

    The Parties agree that the management of the new tariff quota of 2 700 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, will fall under an auctioning system. The administration by auctioning will be reviewed as set out in the preceding paragraphs. In particular, quota fill and auction fees will be assessed.

    The tariff quotas of 7 200 tons of cheese on imports into the European Union and Norway shall apply to all types of cheese.

    18.

    In case of further enlargement of the EU, the Parties will assess the impact on bilateral trade, with a view to adapting bilateral preferences in a way that pre-existing preferential trade flows between Norway and acceding countries can continue.

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

    I have the honour to confirm that the European Union agrees with the content of this letter.

    I would be grateful if you could confirm the agreement of your Government to the above.

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

    B.   Letter from the Kingdom of Norway

    Sir,

    I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today’s date which reads as follows:

    ‘I have the honour to refer to the negotiations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway on bilateral trade in agriculture, concluded on 28 January 2010.

    A new round of agricultural trade negotiations between the European Commission and Norway were undertaken on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (the EEA Agreement), with a view to furthering progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade among the European Union and Norway (the Parties), on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis. The negotiations were carried out on an orderly basis, with due consideration for the evolution of the Parties’ respective agricultural policies and circumstances, including the evolution of bilateral trade, as well as trade conditions with other trading partners worldwide.

    I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

    1.

    Norway undertakes to grant duty free access to the products listed in Annex I originating in the European Union.

    2.

    Norway undertakes to establish tariff quotas for the products listed in Annex II originating in the European Union.

    3.

    Norway undertakes to reduce import duties on the products listed in Annex III originating in the European Union.

    4.

    The European Union undertakes to grant duty free access to the products listed in Annex IV originating in Norway.

    5.

    The European Union undertakes to establish tariff quotas for the products listed in Annex V originating in Norway.

    6.

    The tariff codes set out in Annexes I to V refer to those applicable to the Parties on 1 January 2009.

    7.

    Whenever a future WTO agreement on agriculture is implemented with commitments for new most favoured nations tariff quotas, the bilateral tariff quotas into Norway on swine meat of 600 tons, poultry meat of 800 tons and beef meat of 900 tons, as provided in Annex II, will be phased out in accordance with the same steps as the phasing in of the WTO quotas covering the same products.

    8.

    The Parties agree to consolidate, as soon as possible, all bilateral concessions (those already existing and those foreseen in this Exchange of letters) in a new Exchange of Letters, which should replace existing bilateral agricultural agreements.

    9.

    The rules of origin for the purpose of implementing the concessions referred to in Annexes I to V are set out in Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992. However, Annex II to Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement shall be applied instead of the Appendix to Annex IV to the Exchange of Letters of 2 May 1992.

    10.

    The Parties will take steps to ensure that the benefits which they grant each other will not be jeopardised by other restrictive import measures.

    11.

    The Parties agree to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that tariff quotas will be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported.

    12.

    The Parties agree to strive to promote trade in products with a geographical indication. The Parties agree to engage into further bilateral discussions with a view to better understanding their respective legislation and registration procedures, in order to identify ways to enhance the protection of respective geographical indications in their territories and will look into the possibility of reaching a bilateral agreement to that end.

    13.

    The Parties agree to exchange at regular intervals information on traded products, tariff quota management, price quotations and any useful information concerning their respective domestic markets and the implementation of the results of these negotiations.

    14.

    Consultations will be held at the request of either party on any question relating to the implementation of the results of these negotiations. In case of difficulty in the implementation of such results, consultations will be held as promptly as possible, with a view to the adoption of appropriate corrective measures.

    15.

    The Parties note that the Norwegian customs authorities intend to review the structure of Chapter 6 in the Norwegian customs tariff. Consultations will be held with the European Commission if bilateral preferences will be influenced by this review. The Parties agree that this will be a technical exercise.

    16.

    The Parties reaffirm their commitment in accordance with Article 19 of the EEA Agreement, to continue their efforts with a view to achieving progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade. To this end, the Parties agree to carry out in 2 years’ time a new review of the conditions of trade in agricultural products with a view to exploring possible concessions.

    17.

    As regards the current tariff quota of 4 500 tons of cheese on imports into Norway, the Parties agree that the current administration of this tariff quota based on historical rights and the newcomers principle should be replaced from 2014 by a management system other than auctioning, such as licensing or a “first come first served” system. The modalities for such a system should be established by the Norwegian authorities after consultation with the European Commission with a view to reaching a mutual understanding in order to ensure that the tariff quotas be managed in such a way that imports may take place regularly, and that the quantities agreed for import can effectively be imported. The current administration on the basis of a cheese list, as referred to in the Exchange of Letters of 11 April 1983, shall be abolished.

    The Parties agree that the management of the new tariff quota of 2 700 tons of cheese on imports into Norway will fall under an auctioning system. The administration by auctioning will be reviewed as set out in the preceding paragraphs. In particular, quota fill and auction fees will be assessed.

    The tariff quotas of 7 200 tons of cheese on imports into the European Union and Norway shall apply to all types of cheese.

    18.

    In case of further enlargement of the EU, the Parties will assess the impact on bilateral trade, with a view to adapting bilateral preferences in a way that pre-existing preferential trade flows between Norway and acceding countries can continue.

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

    I have the honour to confirm that the Government of Norway agrees with the content of your letter.

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