Consequently, the Commission has negotiated this Additional Protocol, for the EC part on behalf of the European Community and for the national competence part on behalf of the Member States, on the basis of the negotiating directives adopted by the Council on 23 October 2006, and in consultation with a committee of representatives of the Member States.
The Additional Protocol provides for the necessary technical adaptations of the TDCA that ensue from the accession of the new contracting parties, in particular regarding:
- institutional provisions: the Protocol includes a number of adjustments brought about by the accession of the new Member States to this mixed agreement and an increase in the number of official languages;
- rules of origin: the multilingual provisions in Protocol 1 to the TDCA concerning the definition of the concept of “originating products” and methods of administrative cooperation have been amended to include the languages of the new Member States.
The TDCA provides for trade liberalisation between the European Union and the Republic of South Africa, which in some cases is limited to tariff quotas. These tariff quotas have been reviewed on the basis of traditional trade between the new Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other. Trade flows were found to be insignificant and no adjustments to the tariff quotas were required.
The Protocol referred to above has been negotiated and agreed with the Republic of South Africa.
The current proposal is for a Council Decision on the signing and provisional application of the Protocol.

(In the estimate of human and administrative resources required for the action, DGs/Services must take into account the decisions taken by the Commission in its orientation/APS debate and when adopting the preliminary draft budget (PDB). This means that DGs must show that human resources can be covered by the indicative pre-allocation made when the PDB was adopted.
Exceptional cases (i.e. those where the action concerned could not be envisaged when the PDB was being prepared) will have to be referred to the Commission for a decision on whether and how (by means of an amendment of the indicative pre-allocation, an ad hoc redeployment exercise, a supplementary/amending budget or a letter of amendment to the draft budget) implementation of the proposed action can be accommodated.)
Follow-up arrangements will be no different from those already planned in the TDCA.
Arrangements for evaluation will be no different from those already planned in the TDCA.
Fraud prevention and protection measures will be no different from those already planned in the TDCA.
