DECLARATION BY NORWAY ON THE

GSP SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

No.29455 451

Recalling that Norway historically has improved market access for developingand Least Developing Countries (LDC), Norway will maintain its GSP-system for allSACU-countries, on an autonomous basis, in parallel to the Free Trade agreement forall agricultural products.

Norway commits to grant to Lesotho, Namibia and Botswana their existingGSP-preferences at least to 31 December 2007. After this date they will be treated asLeast Developing Countries (LDC) according to UN-list or to a decision taken by theNorwegian Parliament. If the authorization is prolonged by Norway, the application ofthe tariff benefits for the countries mentioned above will continue to apply.

If however, Norway should consider to reduce any existing trade benefitsgranted to Lesotho, Botswana and Namibia, or their GSP-status, there will be priorconsultations between the Parties concerned with a view to finding mutuallyacceptable solutions. If no mutually acceptable solution is found, the Parties mayinvoke Article 6 of the Agricultural Agreement between SACU and Norway.

Norway will, on an autonomous basis, maintain the threshold for invoking thesafeguard mechanism related to the GSP scheme for the duty free import of meat ofbovine animals (commodity number 02.01.3001, 02.01.3009, 02.02.3001 and02.02.3009 in the Norwegian Customs Tariff), originating in Botswana or Namibia, at2700 tons of fresh, chilled and frozen boneless meat. Imports exceeding the quantitymentioned for the products concerned will be subject to the rate of duty applicable forimports from ordinary GSP-countries.


DECLARAnON BY NORWAY ON

SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES

In product sectors where the legislation relating to sanitary and phytosanitarymatters is hannonized between Norway and the EC, there are no additionalrequirements on products destined for the Norwegian market. However the EEAAgreement contains a safety clause, according to which Norway may adopt differentmeasures based on its own risk assessment.


DECLARAnON BY SACU ON


No.29455 453

In products sectors where the legislation relating to sanitary and phytosanitarymatters is formally recognized to be equivalent between Norway and the EC, SACUMember States endeavour to take into account such equivalency when evaluating arequest for import approval in terms of the relevant domestic sanitary andphytosanitary legislation. This undertaking, however, should not be construed asgranting automatic approval when considering such an application and where suchequivalency exists. It needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis and the approachtaken might differ among SACU Member States, based on the relevant domesticregulatory environment.
