Annex I

Introductory Description of the Norwegian Price Compensation System

1 Introduction

Norway has adopted a regulation covering the trade in industrial processed agricultural goodsaccording to the agreement within EFTA and the free trade agreement between Norway andEU.

The price compensation measures are introduced in regard to the effect the agricultural policyhas on the raw materials costs of the food industry, and to avoid disturbances in trade withprocessed goods.

The Norwegian Price Compensation System is based on customs duties, export restitutions,and internal measures.

~ The agricultural element of the custom duties is expressed as a specific duty calculated eitheron the basis of standard recipes, matrix or on the basis of the actual content of raw materials,or in some cases as an ad valorem duty.

This notification is only describing the agricultural component of the consolidated WTOtariffis, according to the commitments expressed in the Protocol no. 2 of the free tradeagreement between Norway and the EU.

2 Import regime

2.1. Goods coverage

The Norwegian price compensation is applied to some goods of Chapters 4, 7, 15, 17, 18, 19,20, 21, 22 and 35 in the HS nomenclature.

t2.2. Selection of raw materials

According to the Norwegian price compensation regulations, the following raw materialscan be taken into account for the calculation of customs duties:- milk and milk products- egg and egg products- potatoes and potato products- cereals and flour- starch-meat- sugar and glucose- fruits- oils and vegetable fats

2.3. Calculation

page 2

14/07/99 F:\RAAK\RAK\norifikasjon\basis\Bas-n_97. doc

The agricultural element of the duty is set as a specific amount or in some cases as an advalorem rate.

For goods where the agricultural element is calculated as a specific amount, the duty is basedon standard recipes or on content of raw materials according to a matrix and some additionalraw materials. For these goods the calculation of the specific amounts is based oncompensatory amounts and the content of the raw materials concerned. For some goods, theagricultural element is calculated on the basis of the actual content of raw materials.

For goods subject to duties calculated as standard recipes, the duties are fixed per tariff line inthe Norwegian Customs Tariff.

If the goods are subject to an agricultural element calculated on the basis of content of rawmaterials, a declaration formula on the actual content of the raw material content has to betransmitted to Statens Kornforretning. If the duty is calculated on the basis of the matrix, theformula is then computerized and the real content is transformed according to specificcoefficients, to the raw materials in the matrix and the additional raw materials. The importerthen receives a written communication stating the duty according to the agricultural elementand the matrix-code and code for additional duty.

2.4. Price differences

The price differences applied when calculating duties on the basis of matrix, standard recipiesor the actual content of raw-materials, are the same as in the «agreed minutes» annexed to theexchange of letters of 19th December 1996 between the Council of the EuropeanCommunities and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway.

3.3. Calculation of the Export Refunds
