AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XXVIII OF THE GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE (GATT) 1994 RELATING TO THE MODIFICATION OF CONCESSIONS ON ALL THE TARIFF-RATE QUOTAS INCLUDED IN THE EU SCHEDULE CLXXV AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM’S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION
THE EUROPEAN UNION, of the one part,
and
THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND, of the other part,
hereinafter jointly referred to as the “Parties”,
CONSIDERING that the Parties have successfully concluded the negotiations under Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions on all the tariff-rate quotas included in the EU Schedule CLXXV as a consequence of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union as communicated to members of the World Trade Organization (“WTO Members”) in Document G/SECRET/42/Add.2,
HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Objective
The objective of this Agreement is to agree on the apportionment volumes in respect of all the tariff-rate quotas and the resulting quantitative commitments of the European Union that no longer includes the United Kingdom where the Kingdom of Thailand has negotiation and consultation rights under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 as specified in the letter from the European Union dated 25 February 2019.
Article 2
Principle and methodology of the apportionment of the tariff-rate quotas
The Kingdom of Thailand agrees with the principle and methodology of apportioning the scheduled quantitative commitments in the form of tariff-rate quotas of the European Union that included the United Kingdom whereby there is an apportioned quantity taken on by the European Union that no longer includes the United Kingdom with the remainder of the quantity taken on by the United Kingdom.
Article 3
Tariff-rate quotas of the European Union that no longer includes the United Kingdom
1. The Parties agree on the quantity for certain tariff-rate quotas of the European Union that no longer includes the United Kingdom as from 1 January 2021 or from the date when the United Kingdom ceases to be covered by the schedule of concessions and commitments of the European Union CLXXV, as detailed in the last column of the Annex to this Agreement.
2. This Agreement does not prejudice negotiations between the European Union and other WTO Members with rights under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 as regards the erga omnes tariff-rate quotas concerned. The European Union undertakes to consult with the Kingdom of Thailand if the result of those negotiations would change the shares set out in the document G/SECRET/42/Add.2.
3. The Annex to this Agreement shall form an integral part thereof.
Article 4
Final clauses
1. This Agreement shall enter into force on the first day after the date on which the Parties have notified each other of the completion of their internal procedures. It shall apply from that date.
2. This arrangement constitutes an agreement between the Parties for the purposes of Article XXVIII:3(a) and (b) of the GATT 1994.
3. This Agreement shall be drawn up in duplicate in the Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish languages, each text being equally authentic.
