      with Malta beyond the date of expiry of the first stage of the
                             Association Agreement

 C0M ( 80 ) 708 final
 ---pagebreak---                    Recommendation for . a Commission Communication
                   tc the Council, regarding the conclusion of a
                   supplementary protocol        between the
                   Community and "laiia from 1 January 1980
1.      The first stage of the Association Agreement between the Community
and Malta entered into force on 1 April 1971 and will expire on 31 December
1980 , after an initial extension of, 15 months in 1976 , and a second one
of three and a half years in 1977 .    According to the terms of the Agreement ,
the second stage , which ought to last five years , should include further ~
elimination of trade barriers between the Community and Malta and the adop
tion by Malta of the Common Customs Tariff .       -
2.      In the course of contacts between . the Commission and the Maltese
authorities , it has become apparent that the Maltese Government , without
wishing to' prejudice the continuation of its relations with the , Community ,
is for the moment unable , .for political and economic reasons , to assume the
burden arising from the setting up of a Customs Union and consequently
wishes to remain under the present free trade system . '               .
        The extension of the first stage of the agreement should however in the
view of the Maltese authorities be accompanied by the improvement of the Com
munity concessions in the industrial and agricultural sectors . Furthermore ,-   .  ,
Malta has requested that a new financial protocol be concluded .
         The Maltese Government wants the Community effectively to forgo the
application of safeguard clauses with regard, to Malta in the industrial sector ;
( above all for sensitive products such as textiles);it also wants a revewal of the
exemptions from the rules of origin ( they expired in 1979 ) for preserved mea.ts ,
 chocolate , intermediate frequency transformers , transistors and tape recorders ;
 and the' cumulation or origin rules with other Mediterranean countries as
 granted by the Community to the three Maghreb countries in their reciprocal
 relations .

                  With regard to agriculture , in view of the naturally limited extent
     of its production , it requests ex&mption from duty on imports in the EEC of
    most of the products covered by the Association Agreement , the extension
    of the preference period for some of the other products ( 1 ), and lastly the
    granting of exemption for certain products not covered by the Agreement ( 2 ).
                                                                                \
    3.           Ia view of the concern expressed by the Maltese Government , the
    Commission considers it advisable to meet its wish for a further extension
    of the provisions currently governing EEC-Malta trade relations .
               ~ The Commission transmits to the Council its proposals for negotia
    tions with Malta , in Annex I hereto ,, and recommends that it adopt them as
    soon as possible .
    Autonomous interim arrangements
    4.           Pending the conclusion of the negotiations on the above bases ,
    the Commission considers that the current trade arrangements , which are
    due to expire on 31 December ^ should be extended unilaterally . To his end ,
    a draft regulation is attached hereto ( Annex II ).

                              Sole Article .

 Malta for the purpose of concluding a supplementary protocol to the

        The supplementary protocol would extend the provisions currently

                 on the extension of the provisions v
             governing the first stage of the Agreement    -
        establishing an association between the European Economic
                     Community and Malta .
1.      The provisions governing the first stage of the agreement with
Malta and those of the Protocols concluded with that country are due to
expire on 31 , December 1980 .
2.       It will not be possible to complete the negotiations to be under
taken with Malta to determine the trade arrangements as from 1 January -
1981   in time for the arrangements to enter into force on that date .
3.      Consequently , in order to avoid a legal vacuum in the Community 's
relations with Malta , the Commission proposes that the Council adopt the
draft regulation unilaterally extending the provisions governing the first
stage of the agreement with Malta until the entry into force of a supple
mentary protocol or unti I 30 June 1981 , whichever is . the earlier .
4.      The arrangements to be applied by the Community toxards Malta after
Greece 's accession cannot be included in this profond because of delays
in the negotiation of an adaptation and transitional protocol . The Commission
intends however to submit to the Council a proposal regarding this
matter in the near future .                                     <
