Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Council guidelines authorised the Commission to enter into negotiations with the Republic of Lithuania with a view to improving the trade arrangement for processed agricultural products in preparation for accession. After these negotiations a trade agreement was concluded between the European Commission and Lithuania which is scheduled to enter into force on 1 June 2003. On the Community side this agreement introduces concessions in the form of complete liberalisation of trade for certain processed agricultural products and duty free quotas for others - for imports outside of these quotas the current trade provisions as laid down by Protocol 2 of the European Agreement between the European Communities and Lithuania will continue to apply. The Community concessions are granted subject to the adoption of Lithuania of reciprocal measures. In order to give effect to this agreement, on the Community side, it is necessary to adopt certain autonomous measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania.

2003/0098 (ACC)

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and Lithuania, approved by Decision 98/150/EC, ECSC, Euratom of the Council and the Commission of 19 December 1997 on the conclusion of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Lithuania, of the other part [1], provides for tariff concessions for processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania. Protocol 2 was amended by the Protocol adjusting the Europe Agreement, hereinafter referred to as the "Adjusting Protocol", approved by Council Decision 98/677/EC [2], and by Decision No 5/2001 of the EU-Lithuania Association Council. [3]

[1] OJ L 51, 20.2.1998, p. 1.

[2] OJ L 321, 30.11.1998, p. 1.

[3] OJ L 300, 5.11.2002, p. 18.

(2) A trade agreement has recently been concluded which amends the Adjusting Protocol. The agreement aims to improve economic convergence in preparation for the accession of Lithuania to the European Union and is scheduled to enter into force not later than 1 June 2003. On the Community side that agreement lays down concessions in the form of completed liberalisation of trade for certain processed agricultural products and duty free quotas for others. For imports outside of those quotas the provisions laid down in Protocol 2 continue to apply.

(3) The procedure for adopting a decision to amend the Adjusting Protocol will not be completed in time for it to enter into force on 1 June 2003. It is therefore necessary to provide for the application of the tariff concessions made to Lithuania on an autonomous basis as from 1 June 2003.

(4) For the imports of certain agricultural products no duties should be applied and for others duty free quotas should be opened.

(5) On processed agricultural products covered by Protocol 2 but not listed in this regulation or for which the quotas opened by this Regulation are exhausted the trade provision laid down in Protocol 2 should continue to apply.

(6) Processed agricultural products not covered by Annex I to the Treaty should not be eligible for export refunds under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds [4].

[4] OJ L 177, 15.7.2000, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1052/2002 (OJ L 160, 18.6.2002, p. 16.).

(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code [5] provides for a system for managing tariff quotas. The tariff quotas opened by this Regulation should be managed by the Community authorities and the Member States in accordance with that system.

[5] OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002 (OJ L 68, 12.3.2002, p. 11).

(8) The measures necessary for the implement of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission. [6]

[6] OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23.
