DECISION No 1/2008 OF THE EC-SWITZERLAND JOINT COMMITTEE
of 22 February 2008
replacing Tables III and IV(b) of Protocol No 2
(2008/219/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) |
The current market situation has changed significantly compared to previous years with a new development being the introduction of price compensatory measures on the European border, given that domestic prices of certain basic products in Switzerland have proved to be lower than the domestic prices for those products. |
|
(5) |
As the volatility of the market is expected to continue, the partners will exchange information on a bimonthly basis and if substantial differences are signaled a modification of this decision could follow, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Table III and IV(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 February 2008.
Done at Brussels, 22 February 2008.
For the Joint Committee
The Chairman
Jacques DE WATTEVILLE
