AGRICULTURAL AND FISHERY PRODUCTS
Article 17
Annex I contains specific provisions and arrangements concerning veterinary and phytosanitary matters.
Article 18
Without prejudice to the specific arrangements governing trade in agricultural products, the Contracting Parties shall ensure that the arrangements provided for in Articles 17 and 23 (a) and (b), as they apply to products other than those covered by Article 8(3), are not compromised by other technical barriers to trade. Article 13 shall apply.
Article 19
1
The Contracting Parties shall examine any difficulties that might arise in their trade in agricultural products and shall endeavour to seek appropriate solutions.
2
The Contracting Parties undertake to continue their efforts with a view to achieving progressive liberalization of agricultural trade.
3
To this end, the Contracting Parties will carry out, before the end of 1993 and subsequently at two-yearly intervals, reviews of the conditions of trade in agricultural products.
4
In the light of the results of these reviews, within the framework of their respective agricultural policies and taking into account the results of the Uruguay Round, the Contracting Parties will decide, within the framework of this Agreement, on a preferential, bilateral or multilateral, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis, on further reductions of any type of barriers to trade in the agricultural sector, including those resulting from State monopolies of a commercial character in the agricultural field.
Article 20
Provisions and arrangements that apply to fish and other marine products are set out in Protocol 9.
