COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Brussels, 1 March 1983
Recommendation for a COUNCIL DECISION
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Austria negotiated pursuant to Article XXVIII of the GATT with regard to certain frozen, prepared or preserved vegetables
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
C0M(83) 98 final
EXPLANATORY lvEMORANDUM
1. In a communication of 26 July 1982, Austria informed the Contracting Parties to the GATT that it intended to withdraw, pursuant to Article XXVIII§5 of the GATT, concessions relating to certain frozen, prepared or preserved vegetables and invited interested parties to enter negotiations on this matter.
The Community, which as Austria's principal supplier for the products in question has negotiating rights, began negotiations with Austria.
2. The Community's main concern in the negotiations was to safeguard its traditional exports to Austria, in other words to prevent Austria from withdrawing concessions in respect of the products concerned and then introducing prohibitive rates of customs duty, and also to obtain compensation in the same sector.
3. In the negotiations, Austria agreed to the Community's request that tariff quotas be introduced for the Community as regards the main group of products, at the level of the best performance attained (1981) and at current bound customs duty levels. In addition, Austria agreed to compensate the Community for its potential loss following the unbinding.
4. The compensation offered is, therefore, satisfactory. It relates to a volume of trade amounting to around S 70 million and involves an average tariff reduction
of 50 % and even - in one case - the abolition of customs duties; the modifications and withdrawals of concessions, on the other hand, relate only to a volume of trade amounting to S 50 million. It should be noted in this connection that Austria is proposing to increase the customs duty on frozen products - at present bound at 20 % - to no more than 28 % (unbound) and, initially, to leave the duty on preserved products unchanged. All the tariff reductions offered to the Community are granted to it on a preferential basis (via exchanges of letters covering agricultural products) under the EFTA Agreements.
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Austria negotiated pursuant to Article XXVIII of the GATT with regard to certain frozen, prepared or preserved vegetables.
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof.
Having regard to the Recommendation from the Commission, .
Whereas Austria, pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), announced its intention of modifying or withdrawing tariff concessions in respect of certain frozen, prepared or preserved vegetables for which the Community is Austrai's main supplier ;
Whereas the Commission has entered into negotiations with Austria under Article XXVIII of the GATT; whereas it has reached a satisfactory Agreement with Austria,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS :
The Agreement between the European Economic Community and Austria negotiated pursuant to Article XXVIII of the GATT with regard to certain frozen, prepared or preserved vegetables is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is annexed to this Decision.
Article 2
The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreement in order to bind the Community.
Done at Brussels, For the Council,
The Presi dent.
AGREED MINUTES
1. The Austrian Delegation and the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities have concluded their negotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT, with a view to modifying or withdrawing the concessions provided for in List XXXII-AUSTRIA concerning certain frozen, prepared or preserved vegetables, with the following overall agreement:
The concessions set out in List XXXII-AUSTRIA as they appear in Part A of Annex I are replaced by:
(a) the concessions which will be bound under the GATT, as set out in Part C of Annex I;
(b) the autonomous concessions as set out in the exchange of letters (Annex II).
The provisions contained in this paragraph will enter into force on the same date.
2. If Austria were to consider ending the autonomous concessions as mentioned under 1(b) above, Austria undertakes to initiate consultations with the Community with a view to compensating the Community. In these consultations, the Community will be able, on a bilateral basis, to assert rights equivalent to those which it would then have under Article XXVIII of the GATT.
3. The Contracting Parties agree to submit this overall agreement for approval by their respective authorities.

Ved meddelelse af 26. juli 1982 underrettede 0strig de kontraherende parter 1 GATT om, at 0strig i henhold til artikel XXVIII, paragraf 5, i GATT ville t i lbagetraekke indr0mmelser vedrdrende visse frosne, tilberedte eller konserverede grpnsager, og opfordrede de kontraherende parter, dor havde rettigheder, til at optage forhandlinger heroin.
Feellesskabet, der er hovedleverand0r til 0strig af disse produkter og derfor har forhandlingsrettigheder, har indledt forhandlinger med detbe land.
Det, der har ligget Faellesskabet meet pi. sinde under forhandlingerne, har veeret dels at beskytte EF's traditionelle eksport til 0strig, dvs. at undgi., at 0strig efter at have trukket indrpmmelserne for disse produkter tilbage indf0rer beskyttelsestold, dels at opn& kompensation inden for samme sektor.
Under forhandlingerne har 0strig reageret positivt p& Faellesskabets anmodning om, at der til fordel for EF for den vigtlgste gruppe produkter indfdres toldkontingenter svarende til den st0rst opn&ede eksport (1981) til de nugeeldende, bundne toldsatser. Endvldere har 0strig indvilliget i at kompensere Faellesskabet for det potentielle tab, som Faellesskabet vil lide som f0lge af afbindingen.
De tilbudte kompensationer er derfor tilfredsstillende. De berprer en handel p& omkring 70 mio Schilling og indebesrer en gennemsnitlig toldnedsmttolse p& 50% og i et enkelt tilfselde endog afskaffelse af tolden, mens eendringerne og tilbagetraakningerne af indrpmmelser kun berdrer en handel p& 50 mio Schilling. I den forbindelse skal det bemaerkes, at 0strig kun har til hensigt at forh0je tolden for frosne produkter, der for 0jeblikket er bundet til 20%, til 28% (ikke bundet), og forel0big at lade tolden for konserves uaandret. Alle de toldnedsaettelser, som Faelleskabet har f&et tilbudt, indremmes som prasference (som led i landbrugsbrevvekslingen) i henhold til EFTA-overenskomsterne.
P& grundlag af resultatet af disse forhandlinger har Det sasrlige artikel 113-udvalg afgivet positiv udtalelse med hensyn til godkendelse.
