The minimum import prices, as set out in point 1, will be respected on a consignment-by-consign- ment basis. In the case of a customs declaration value being lower than the minimum import price, a countervailing duty equal to the difference between the minimum import price and the customs declaration value will be charged. 3. If the import prices of a given product covered by this Annex show a trend suggesting that the prices could go below the level of the minimum import prices in the immediate future, the European Commission will inform the Bulgarian authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation. 4. At the request of either the Community or Bulgaria, the Association Committee shall examine the functioning of the system or the revision of the level of the minimum import prices. If appropriate, the Association Committee shall take the necessary decisions. 5. To encourage and promote the development of trade and for the mutual benefit of all parties concerned, a consultation meeting will be organised three months before the beginning of each marketing year in the European Community. This consultation meeting will take place between the European Commission and the interested European producers’ organisations for the products concerned, on the one part, and the authorities’, producers’ and exporters’ organisations of all the associated exporting countries, on the other part.

Letter from the Community Sir, The Agreement on the adaptation of the agricultural part of the Europe Agreement following the implementation of the Uruguay Round and the enlargement of the European Community signed today between the European Community and Bulgaria does not contain any provisions regarding the entry price regime applied to the import of fruit and vegetables into the Community. It has been agreed that the Parties will continue consultations on this sector in order to find a solution. Taking into account, inter alia, the experience of the last marketing years, the solution should allow the continuation of trade relations traditionally established between the Community and Bulgaria for the products concerned. In the meantime, Bulgaria will not be treated less favourably than other associated countries in this context. In addition, both parties will continue talks in the framework of the relevant procedures of the Europe Agreement on any other unresolved issues in order to find as soon as possible mutually acceptable solutions.
