The Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, was signed on 14 May 1973 in Brussels and entered into force on 1 July 1973. The attached proposal creates the legal instrument for the signature and provisional application of an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, to take account of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Additional Protocol’). On 24 September 2012, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the third countries concerned to conclude the relevant protocols. Negotiations with Norway were conducted in the framework of the negotiations for the adaptation of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and the Agreement between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union on a Norwegian Financial Mechanism for the period 2009-2014, in view of the enlargement of the European Union to include Croatia, and were successfully concluded by the initialling of the Additional Protocol. The proposed Additional Protocol makes the Republic of Croatia a contracting party to the Agreement and commits the EU to providing an authentic version of the Agreement in the new official language of the EU. It also provides for additional fish trade concessions for Norway, given Croatia’s accession to the European Economic Area. The Commission has judged the results of the negotiations to be satisfactory and asks the Council to adopt the attached decision on the signature and provisional application of the Additional Protocol. |
