    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

    1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

    On 14 October 2005 the Council has authorised the Commission to conduct negotiations within the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement with the State of Israel, taking into account the progress made by Israel as regards the European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan, in order to achieve greater liberalisation of reciprocal trade in agricultural, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, in the spirit of the Barcelona Process and in line with the principles of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the conclusions of the Euro-Mediterranean Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Luxembourg on 30-31 May 2005.

    The European Commission and Israel officially opened the negotiations on 19 June 2006 in Tel-Aviv and concluded on 30 April 2008. The new Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters was signed on 4.11.2009 in Brussels and entered into force on 1.1.2010.

    After the application of the new agreement, on 26 April 2010, the Israeli Embassy signalled a problem – customs duty charged on import into the EU of chemically pure lactose originating in Israel.

    After deep analysis, the Commission services came to the conclusion that, as during negotiations the initial wording of Article 7: definition of industrial products in the EU-IL Association agreement[1] was modified in order to align it with the WTO definition, the Commission unintentionally withdrew an existing tariff concession. In the new Protocol 1 (EU concessions granted to Israel), in the list of sensitive products, CN subheadings 1702 11 00 (chemically pure lactose) ex 1702 30 50 and ex 1702 30 90 (chemically pure glucose) were not mentioned as excluded from heading 1702 (which during the negotiations with Israel was on the whole considered as sensitive on the EU side). Therefore, since 1.1.2010, the EU side was applying full duty to imports from Israel of chemically pure lactose and glucose. These technical changes are required in order to comply with the commitments on market access of agricultural products and processed agricultural products of the previous Agreements.

    Using the opportunity of these necessary technical modifications of the Association Agreement, some additional technical corrections for processed agricultural products were also included, in order to clarify an interpretation in the interest of legal certainty of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters signed on 4 November 2009 between the European Communities and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on the above mentioned products.

    The European Commission and the State of Israel concluded the negotiations on the necessary technical modifications on 19 September 2011 in Brussels and the Agreed Minutes with the draft Agreement in the form of and Exchange of Letters were initialled on the same day. In order to implement the results of this technical adaptation concluded with the State of Israel, the Commission proposes to the Council to adopt the attached Exchange of Letters.

    The intention of both sides is that this Agreement enters into force in 2011.

    In consequence, the Commission proposes to the Council to adopt the annexed Decision.

    Proposal for a

    COUNCIL DECISION

    on the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, amending the Annexes to Protocols 1 and 2 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(5) thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

    Whereas:

    (1) On 14 November 2005, the Council authorised the Commission to conduct negotiations in order to achieve greater liberalisation of trade in agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products with certain Mediterranean countries. The negotiations with Israel were successfully concluded on 18 July 2008. The results of those negotiations are contained in an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their Annexes and amendments to the Euro-Mediterranean agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters’), which entered into force on 1 January 2010.

    (2) After the entry into force of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters the European Commission and Israel had some technical meetings related to its implementation. These meetings showed that some technical adjustments were necessary in order to comply with the commitments of the previous agreements between the European Communities and the State of Israel, which entered into force in 2000 and 2006. On 19 September 2011, the Commission and Israel concluded the negotiation of the necessary technical adaptations, which are contained in a new Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, amending Annexes to Protocols 1 and 2 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’).

    (3) The Agreement should be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion at a later date,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

    Article 1

    The signing of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, amending Annexes to Protocols 1 and 2 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part (hereinafter referred as to ‘the Agreement’), is hereby authorised on behalf of the Union, subject to the conclusion of the said Agreement[2].

    ANNEX

    AGREEMENT IN THE FORM OF AN EXCHANGE OF LETTERS BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL AMENDING THE ANNEXES TO PROTOCOLS 1 AND 2 OF THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THEIR MEMBER STATES, OF THE ONE PART, AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL, OF THE OTHER PART

    Letter No 1 Letter from the European Union

    Brussels, ………. 2011

    Sir,

    I have the honour to refer to the technical meetings related to implementation of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their Annexes and amendments to the Euro-Mediterranean agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, signed in Brussels on 4 November 2009. In these meetings it has been concluded that some technical amendments are necessary.

    Therefore, I propose that the Annex to Protocol 1 concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the European Union of agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products originating in the State of Israel and Annex to Protocol 2 concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the State of Israel of agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products originating in the European Union of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, in force since 1 January 2010 be replaced by the Annexes attached hereto, with effect as of 1 January 2010.

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

    I would be grateful if you could confirm that your Government is in agreement with the content of this letter.

    Sir/Madam,

    I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of […] which reads as follows:

    "I have the honour to refer to the technical meetings related to implementation of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their Annexes and amendments to the Euro-Mediterranean agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, signed in Brussels on 4 November 2009. In these meetings it has been concluded that some technical amendments are necessary.

    Therefore, I propose that the Annex to Protocol 1 concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the European Union of agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products originating in the State of Israel and Annex to Protocol 2 concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the State of Israel of agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products originating in the European Union of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, in force since 1 January 2010 be replaced by the Annexes attached hereto, with effect as of 1 January 2010.

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

    I have the honour to inform you that the State of Israel is in agreement with the content of this letter.
