The Kingdom of Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland hereby become Parties to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey and also to the Declarations annexed to the Final Act, signed in Ankara on 12 September 1963, and to the Final Act, signed in Brussels on 23 November 1970.

TITLE I

Adaptation measures

Article 2

The texts of the Association Agreement, including the Protocols which form an integral part thereof and also the Declarations referred to in Article 1, drawn up in the English and Danish languages and annexed to this Protocol, are authentic in the same way as the original texts.

Article 3

Article 12 of the Additional Protocol shall, from paragraph 4 onwards, be amended as follows:

"4. The Association Council may also, during the transition period, decide that the right available to Turkey under paragraph 3 may entitle it to introduce quotas, instead of reintroducing, increasing or imposing customs duties, provided that such quota is not lower than 60 % of the imports from the Community of the product in question during the preceding year. The value of imports from the Community in 1967 of the products affected by these quota measures must be counted against the total value of the imports referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3.

The Association Council shall lay down the conditions governing the application and termination of these measures.

5. Notwithstanding paragraph 4 and for the period during which Turkey applies the degree of consolidated liberalization fixed at 40 % in accordance with Article 22 (2) and (3), the following rules shall be applicable.

If the Association Council has not taken a decision under paragraph 4, within six months of a request being made, Turkey may, after informing the Association Council and not earlier than one year after making its request, introduce quotas on the terms indicated in paragraph 4.

All such quotas shall not affect more than 5 % of the total value of imports in 1967 from the Community as originally constituted. The value of imports in 1967 which are affected by quota measures shall be calculated on the basis of imports from the Community as originally constituted and shall be charged against the value referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3. If, however, these quotas affect products added to the list when the degree of consolidated liberalization was raised in accordance with Article 22 (4), the value of imports shall be calculated on the basis of imports in 1967 from the original Member States and the new Member States.

Turkey shall, at the same time, add new products to the list of liberalized products consolidated in accordance with Article 22 (4) in order to ensure that the value of imports from the Community of all the products listed does not fall.

Consultations may be held within the Association Council on the progressive elimination of restrictive measures introduced by Turkey pursuant to this paragraph.

6. The Association Council may derogate from paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 5."

Article 4

1. For the purposes of Articles 12, 22 (2) and (5) and 25 of the Additional Protocol, the level of imports to be taken into consideration from the Community shall, when being calculated, include, among imports from the Community in its original composition, Turkish imports from the new Member States during the period under consideration.

However, for the purposes of Article 22 (2) of the Additional Protocol, this rule shall apply only to increases in the degree of consolidated liberalization to be effected by Turkey after 1 January 1976.

2. On the entry into force of this Protocol, Turkey may make amendments to the list of liberalized products which it has supplied in accordance with Article 22 (4) of the Additional Protocol, provided that:

- these amendments do not affect more than 10 % of the value of imports from the Community in 1967 of products contained in the list,

- the value of imports from the Community of all the products contained in the list of liberalized products, calculated as before on the basis of the figures for 1967, does not fall,

- for products removed from the list of liberalized products, quotas are opened which are not less than 60 % of imports of these products from the Community during the preceding year, without prejudice to the right of Turkey to apply to these products the provisions of Article 22 (5) of the Additional Protocol.

The value of imports from the Community which are affected by these amendments shall be counted against the total value of imports referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 12 (3) of the Additional Protocol.

Turkey shall notify the Association Council of measures taken in pursuance of the above provisions.

Article 5

The following shall be substituted for Article 29 (1) of the Association Agreement:

"This Agreement shall apply to the European territories of the Kingdom of Belgium, of the Kingdom of Denmark, of the Federal Republic of Germany, of the French Republic, of Ireland, of the Italian Republic, of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and to the other European territories for whose external affairs a Member State assumes responsibility in accordance with the conditions laid down by the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, on the one hand, and to the territory of the Republic of Turkey, on the other."

Article 6

The periodic reviews provided for in Article 35 (3) of the Additional Protocol shall be brought forward by one year.

Article 7

The annual tariff quotas laid down for Turkey in the Sole Article (1) of Annex 1 and in Article 1 (2) of Annex 2 to the Additional Protocol shall be increased to:

Transitional measures

Article 9

1. The reductions in customs duties and charges having equivalent effect which are provided for in the Association Agreement shall be applied in the new Member States, in accordance with the percentages and timetable laid down, upon entry into force of this Protocol.

2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, in respect of the products listed in Annex I, customs duties equal to the duties applied to Member States other than the United Kingdom may be applied with regard to Turkey by Ireland until 31 December 1975.

3. The rates on the basis of which the new Member States apply to Turkey the reductions provided for in paragraph 1 shall be those which they apply at the time to third countries.

4. By way of derogation from the preceding paragraphs, should the application of these provisions temporarily result in tariff movements away from alignment on the final duty, Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom may maintain their duties until the level of those duties has been reached on the occasion of a subsequent alignment, or they may apply the duty resulting from a subsequent alignment as soon as this alignment reaches or passes the said level.

Article 10

The new Member States shall align their customs duties of a fiscal nature or the fiscal element of these duties, relating to the products listed in Annex II, on the duties provided for in the Association Agreement by applying to Turkey the same treatment as that applied to other Member States.

Article 9 shall apply to the protective element of these duties.

Article 11

1. In respect of the new Member States, Turkey shall reduce the difference between the customs duties and charges having equivalent effect which it applies to third countries and those which it applies to the Community as originally constituted under the Association Agreement by instalments of 20 % in accordance with the following timetable:

- the first alignment shall be carried out as from the entry into force of this Protocol,

- the four succeeding alignments shall be made on 1 January 1974, 1 January 1975, 1 January 1976 and 1 July 1977.

4. The Association Council may adopt suitable measures to ensure that the reductions to be applied by Turkey to the new Member States coincide with the time limits provided for in the Additional Protocol.

Article 12

The preferential treatment provided for in the Additional Protocol shall also apply to goods manufactured in Turkey using products from a Member State or from a new Member State that were not in free circulation in Turkey.

The application of these provisions to the said goods in a new Member State or in one of the original Member States may, however, be subject to the imposition in Turkey of a levy as long as the duties and charges having equivalent effect applied in respect of trade between the Member States and Turkey are different from those applied in respect of trade between the original Member States and the new Member States.

Article 3 of the Additional Protocol shall be applicable mutatis mutandis.

Article 13

1. The import arrangements applied by Ireland in respect of products listed in Annex III shall be eliminated with regard to Turkey not later than 1 July 1975 and 1 January 1985 respectively, in accordance with procedures to be determined by the Association Council.

PROTOKOL Nr. 1

Midlertidig protokol

DE KONTRAHERENDE PARTER,

SOM ER SIG BEVIDST, at udf酶relsen af tobak, t酶rrede figner og n酶dder s忙rlig i den indledende fase er af stor betydning for den tyrkiske 酶konomi;

SOM 脴NSKER at vedtage den i artikel 3 i associeringsaftalen omhandlede midlertidige protokol;

ER BLEVET ENIGE OM f酶lgende bestemmelser:

Artikel 1

1. Fire 氓r efter aftalens ikrafttr忙den unders酶ger Associeringsr氓det, om det under hensyntagen til Tyrkiets 酶konomiske situation er muligt i form af en till忙gsprotokol at vedtage bestemmelserne for vilk氓rene, retningslinjerne og tempoet for gennemf酶relsen af den i aftalens artikel 4 omhandlede overgangsperiode.

Till忙gsprotokollen undertegnes af de kontraherende parter og tr忙der i kraft efter gennemf酶relsen af de forfatningsm忙ssige procedurer, der kr忙ves af hver af dem.

2. S氓fremt till忙gsprotokollen ved udgangen af det femte 氓r ikke har kunnet vedtages, indledes p氓ny den i artikel 1 fastsatte procedure efter en af Associeringsr氓det fastsat tidsfrist, som ikke kan overstige tre 氓r.

3. Bestemmelserne i denne protokol forbliver g忙ldende indtil till忙gsprotokollens ikrafttr忙den og senest til udgangen af det tiende 氓r.

Dog forl忙nges den midlertidige protokol for et tidsrum p氓 h酶jst et 氓r i tilf忙lde af, at till忙gsprotokollen vedtages, men ikke har kunnet tr忙de i kraft ved udgangen af det tiende 氓r.

Associeringsr氓det tr忙ffer afg酶relse om en videre ordning for den indledende fase, som finder anvendelse fra udgangen af det tiende 氓r, i tilf忙lde af at till忙gsprotokollen ikke har kunnet vedtages ved udgangen af det niende 氓r.

Artikel 2

Fra denne protokols ikrafttr忙den 氓bner F忙llesskabets medlemsstater f酶lgende 氓rlige toldkontigenter for deres indf酶rsler med oprindelse i Tyrkiet:

a) 24.01 - Tobak, r氓 eller uforarbejdet; tobaksaffald

Den belgisk-luxembourgske 酶konomiske Union // 1250 tons

forbundsrepublikken Tyskland // 6600 tons

Frankrig // 2550 tons

Italien // 1500 tons

Nederlandene / 600 tons

Inden for gr忙nserne af disse toldkontingenter anvender hver medlemsstat en toldsats, der svarer til den, som den anvender for indf酶rsler af samme varer inden for rammerne af associeringsaftalen, der er undertegnet af F忙llesskabet den 9. juli 1961.

b) ex 08.04 - T酶rrede druer (i pakninger af v忙gt p氓 15 kg eller derunder)

Den belgisk-luxembourgske okonomiske Union // 3250 tons

forbundsrepublikken Tyskland // 9750 tons

Frankrig // 2800 tons

Italien // 7700 tons

Nederlandene // 6500 tons

Inden for gr忙nserne af disse toldkontingenter anvender hver medlemsstat en toldsats, der svarer til den, som den anvender for indf酶rsler af samme varer inden for rammerne af associeringsaftalen, der er undertegnet af F忙llesskabet den 9. juli 1961.

c) ex 08.03 - T酶rrede figner (i pakninger af v忙gt p氓 15 kg eller derunder)

Den belgisk luxembourgske okonomiske Union // 840 tons

forbundsrepublikken Tyskland // 5000 tons

Frankrig // 7000 tons

Nederlandene // 160 tons

Inden for rammerne af disse toldkontingenter anvender hver medlemsstat indtil den endelige tiln忙rmelse af F忙llesskabets medlemsstaters nationale toldsatser til den f忙lles toldtarif for t酶rrede figner en toldsats, der svarer til basistoldsatsen i medf酶r af artikel 14, stk. 1 i traktaten om oprettelse af F忙llesskabet, nedsat med halvdelen af de neds忙ttelser, som F忙llesskabets medlemsstater yder hinanden indbyrdes.

I tilf忙lde af, at bestemmelserne i den midlertidige protokol endnu er i kraft p氓 tidspunktet for den endelige tiln忙rmelse af medlemsstaternes toldsatser til den f忙lles toldtarif for t酶rrede figner, tr忙ffer F忙llesskabet de n酶dvendige toldm忙ssige foranstaltninger til bevarelse af de handelsm忙ssige fordele, som Tyrkiet begunstiges af, og som svarer til de fordele, som det er blevet sikret i medf酶r af foreg氓ende led og under hensyn til bestemmelserne i artikel 3.

d) ex 08.05 - N酶dder, friske eller t酶rrede, ogs氓 afskallede

Den belgisk-luxembourgske 酶konomiske Union // 540 tons

forbundsrepublikken Tyskland // 14500 tons

Frankrig // 1250 tons

Nederlandene // 710 tons

Inden for rammerne af dette toldkontingent anvender F忙llesskabets medlemsstater en toldsats p氓 2,5% ad valorem.

Desuden gennemf酶rer F忙llesskabets medlemsstater for denne vare fra aftalens ikrafttr忙den en fuldst忙ndig fjernelse af told inden for F忙llesskabet og fuldst忙ndig anvendelse af den f忙lles toldtarif.

Artikel 3

Fra tidspunktet for den endelige tiln忙rmelse af F忙llesskabets medlemsstaters nationale toldsatser til den f忙lles toldtarif for de i artikel 2 omhandlede varer 氓bner Fallesskabet hvert 氓r til fordel for Tyrkiet toldkontingenter for en m忙ngde, der svarer til summen af de indtil nuv忙rende tidspunkt 氓bnede nationale toldkontingenter. Denne fremgangsm氓de anvendes med forbehold af bestemmelser, som m氓tte vedtages af Associeringsr氓det i medf酶r af artikel 4 for det f酶lgende kalender氓r.

For s氓 vidt ang氓r n酶dder finder denne fremgangsm氓de dog f酶rst anvendelse, n氓r tilpasningen af F忙llesskabets medlemsstaters nationale toldsatser til den f忙lles toldtarif for de tre 酶vrige varer er gennemf酶rt.

Artikel 4

Fra det andet 氓r, som folger efter aftalens ikrafttr忙den, kan Associeringsr氓det vedtage at for酶ge m忙ngden af de i artiklerne 2 og 3 omhandlede toldkontingenter. S氓fremt Associeringsr氓det ikke tr忙ffer anden afg酶relse, best氓r disse forh酶jelser fortsat. Ingen forh酶jelse far virkning for begyndelsen af det f酶lgende kalender氓t.

Artikel 5

I tilf忙lde af at datoen for aftalens ikrafttr忙den ikke falder sammen med begyndelsen af kalender氓ret, 氓bner F忙llesskabets medlemsstater i tidsrummet fra datoen for aftalens ikrafttr忙den til begyndelsen af der f酶lgende kalender氓r toldkontingenter, der svarer til en tolvtedel af de i artikel 2 n忙vnte m忙ngder for hver m氓ned mellem datoen for aftalens ikrafttr忙den og begyndelsen af det f酶lgende kalender氓r.

Associeringsr氓det kan dog ved aftalens ikrafttr忙den tr忙ffe afg酶relse om forogelse af omfanget af de toldkontingenter, som fremkommer ved anvendelse af foreg氓ende afsnit for at tage hensyn til den s忙sonm忙ssige karakter af udf酶rslerne af de p氓g忙ldende varer.

Artikel 6

Ved udgangen af det tredje 氓r regnet fra aftalens ikrafttr忙den kan Associeringsr氓det tr忙ffe afg酶relse om foranstaltninger, der vil kunne begunstige afs忙tningen af andre end de i artikel 2 omhandlede varer p氓 F忙llesskabets marked.

Artikel 7

Ved gennemf酶relsen af den f忙lles landbrugspolitik for tobak, n酶dder eller t酶rrede figner tr忙ffer F忙llesskabet de eventuelt n酶dvendige foranstaltninger til opretholdelse af Tyrkiets muligheder for udf酶rsler, der svarer til dem, som sikres i medf酶r af denne protokol, under hensyn til den for den f忙lles landbrugspolitik fastsatte ordning.

Artikel 8

I tilf忙lde af, at F忙llesskabet 氓bner toldkontingenter for de i artikel 2 i denne protokol omhandlede varer, begunstiges Tyrkiet ikke mindre, for s氓 vidt ang氓r niveauet for de toldsatser, der anvendes inden for rammerne af disse toldkontingenter, end et land, som ikke er part i aftalen.

Artikel 9

Tyrkiet bestr忙ber sig p氓 at udstr忙kke til alle F忙llesskabets medlemsstater den mest gunstige behandling, som det indr酶mmer et eller flere af dem.

Artikel 10

Enhver af de kontraherende parter kan fra den indledende fase indbringe alle vanskeligheder ang氓ende etableringsret, tjenesteydelser, transport og konkurrence for Associeringsr氓det. I p氓kommende tilf忙lde kan Associeringsr氓det rette alle passende henstillinger til de kontraherende parter for at fjerne disse vanskeligheder.

Artikel 11

Denne protokol bil忙gges aftalen.

Udf忙rdiget i Ankara, den tolvte september nitten hundrede og treogtres.

For Hans Majest忙t belgiernes konge,

For Pr忙sidenten for forbundsrepublikken Tyskland,

For pr忙sidenten for Den italienske Republik,

For Hendes kongelige H酶jhed storhertugingen af Luxembourg,

F忙llesskabet erkl忙rer, at det ikke p氓t忙nker at oprette en f忙lles markedsordning for t酶rrede druer.

Fortolkende erkl忙ring vedr酶rende v忙rdien af den regningsenhed, der er omhandlet i Artikel 2 i Finansprotokollen

De kontraherende parter erkl忙rer at:

1. V忙rdien af den regningsenhed, der anvendes til at udtrykke det i artikel 2 i Finansprotokollen fastsatte bel酶b, er 0,88867088 gram finguld.

2. Pariteten af en af F忙llesskabets medlemsstaters valuta i forhold til den regningsenhed, der er fastsat i stk. 1 ovenfor, er forholdet mellem finguldv忙gten for denne regningsenhed og den v忙gt af finguld, der svarer til pariteten for denne valuta, der er anmeldt til Den internationale Valutafond. Hvis der ikke er anmeldt nogen paritet, eller hvis der p氓 de l酶bende betalinger anvendes kurser, der afviger fra pariteten med en st酶rre margin end den, der er tilladt af Valutafonden, beregnes den finguldv忙gt, der svarer til valutaens paritet p氓 grundlag af den vekselkurs, der i medlemsstaten anvendes for l酶bende betalinger p氓 beregningsdagen for en valuta, der er direkte eller indirekte fastsat og konvertibel til guld, og p氓 grundlag af den paritet, der for denne konvertible valuta er anmeldt til Valutafonden.

3. Regningsenheden, s氓dan som den er fastsat i stk. 1 ovenfor, forbliver u忙ndret i hele Finansprotokollens gennemf酶relsesperiode. S氓fremt Den internationale Valutafond inden Finansprotokollens udl酶b i henhold til artikel 4, afsnit 7 i sine vedt忙gter beslutter, at der skal ske en ensartet proportional 忙ndring i alle valutaers guldparitet, 忙ndres finguldv忙gten for regningsenheden dog omvendt proportionalt med denne 忙ndring.

S氓fremt en eller flere af F忙llesskabets medlemsstater ikke gennemf酶rer Den internationale Valutafonds beslutning, der er omhandlet i afsnittet ovenfor, 忙ndres finguldv忙gten for regningsenheden omvendt proportionalt med den 忙ndring, som Den internationale Valutafond har besluttet. R氓det for Det europ忙iske 酶konomiske F忙llesskab vil dog unders酶ge den situation, der s氓ledes er opst氓et, og med kvalificeret flertal tr忙ffe de forn酶dne foranstaltninger efter forslag fra Kommissionen og efter udtalelse fra Det monet忙re Udvalg.

Fortolkende erkl忙ring vedr酶rende definitioner af begrebet 禄Kontraherende Parter芦, der er n忙vnt i Associeringsaftalen

Hvordan udtrykket i hvert enkelt tilf忙lde skal fortolkes, vil fremg氓 af de p氓g忙ldende bestemmelser i aftalen og af de tilsvarende bestemmelser i traktaten om oprettelse af F忙llesskabet. I visse tilf忙lde kan udtrykket 禄kontraherende parter芦 i overgangsperioden for traktaten om oprettelse af F忙llesskabet betyde medlemsstaterne, og efter denne periodes udl酶b F忙llesskabet.
