                           REPORT
on the negotiations and consultations between Argentina arid Uruguay of the
one part and the Commi ssion of the European Communities of the other part
under Article XXIV § 6 of the GATT ,, following the accession of the Hellenic
Republic to the European Communities .,
 ---pagebreak---                                      - 1  -
1 . Following Greece 's accession to the European Communities , the latter were
    required to hold negotiations under Article XXIV I 6 of the 6ATT in order to
    compensate the Contracting Parties for the injury caused to them by the
    substitution of the Communities' bound duties for the Greek customs duties
    bound under GATT .
    In the letters which Argentina and Uruguay sent to the Director-General of
    GATT on 28 May 1981 and 2 April 1981 respecti vely , these two countries
    requested the opening of negotiations and consultations with the Commission
    of the European Communities .
                                                                  i
2 . Since for both Argentina and Uruguay tne benefits and disadvantages in the
    industrial products sector offset one another almost entirely , the negotiations
    focussd solely on the injury which these two countries had suffered in the
    agricultural sector .
    Frozen beef and veal accounted for most of Greece 's total imports from those
    two countries ; Argentina was Greece 's principal supplier of those products and
    therefore holds negotiating rights , and Uruguay has a substantial interest and
    therefore has a right to consultations under Article XXVIIi .
                                                                I
    The customs duty bound by Greece for those products before its accession to
    the Community was 20 % ad valorem . The import charge laid down in . She CCt for
    that category of meat is a customs d.uty of 20 % ad valorem bound under GATT
    plus a variable levy which is not bound under GATT . The application of the
    levy , which has a high ad valorem incidence , has virtually put an end to
    exports from those countries to Greece . Bor that reason , the two countries
    have clearly indicated that only the beef and veal sector could provide
    satisfactory compensation .
    It is also to be noted that , in view of the structure of these two ccuhtries *
    exports to the Community and the sensitivity of certain other sectors , there
    was practically no possibility of providing compensation for Argentina and
    Uruguay in other sectors .
                                      k
 ---pagebreak---    In these negotiations r the only way to meet tne requests of Argentina and
   Uruguay and prevent other countries vis -a - vis which the Community has no Legal
   obligations from benefiting from any concessions granted was to increase the
   " special cuts " quota for anly those qualities supplied by Argentina and Uruguay .
. Following a series of discussions ,, in which the Member States ( Article 113
   Committee ) assisted f agreement was finally reached with these two countries ,
   providing for the following :
   - a 7 500 t increase in Argentina 's present quota in respect of the quality
      supplied by that country ( see Article 1a of Commission Regulation ( EEC)
      N° 263 /81 );                      i
   - a 1 300 t increase in Uruguay 's quota in respect of the quality supplied
      by that country ( see Article 1c of Commission Regulation ( EEC) N° 263 /81).
   Account was taken in fixing the abovementioned quantities of the credit
   ( though marginal ) resulting from the tariff reductions on other products .
 The Commission considers that a satisfactory balanced agreement has been
 reached for the Communities and for Argentina and Uruguay .
 It therefore proposes that the Council adopt the attached agreed minutes
 ( see Annex B ) .                                                i

1.  The agreements negotiated with the non–applicant EFTA States , as they were
    known at the time, were drafted on the assumption of Norway 's accession to
    the Community .
    The decision of the Norwegian Government not to ratify the Treaty of Accession
    poses two types of problem with regard to the agreements with the other
    EFTA States .
    ( a) As Norway has not become a member of the Community, certain provisions
         in the Agreements no longer correspond to reality ;
    (b ) An agreement with Norway of the same type was signed
         on May 14 , 1973    All the agreements with the
         other EFTA States have a point of contact in Article 2 of Protocol No 3
         concerning the rules of origin . In view of the circumstances at the
         outset , Norway was not mentioned in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1
         of that Article , whereas mention of that country is essential so that the
         rules of origin may operate, including Norway in the system .
2 . To remedy this situation, the Agreements in question should be amended , by
    means of an additional protocol , affixed to the agreements already in
    force .
    The Commission recommends the Council to authorize as quickly as possible on the
    opening of these negotiations , in particular with a view to avoiding any
    difficulty which mig^it arise in the operation of the rules of origin

The Commission points out that the co-contracting States were informed in
December 1972 of the situation and. agreed that the matter should he settled
at the same time as negotiations were completed between the EEC and Norway .
