"I welcomed this proposal because it provides for additional full liberalisation which will apply to approximately 20% of the EU’s exports to Norway and will represent roughly EUR 250 million. In total, some 60% (in terms of trade value) of agricultural trade between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union will be completely free. For more sensitive products such as meat, dairy products, fruit, vegetable and ornamental plants, Norway will grant some tariff quotas or tariff reductions. The concessions granted by the EU to Norway also include full liberalisation on products on which Norway offers full liberalisation, and additional tariff quotas for cheese, fresh raspberries, potato crisps and pet food. The agreement takes into account the sensitive nature of certain products important for agricultural production in both the EU as well as Norway and provides for appropriate arrangements on tariff quotas or tariffs reductions; these tariffs will also be important for agricultural production in the medium and long term, given the conditions anticipated under the reforms of the common agricultural policy after 2013. Although Norway enjoys a positive total trade balance with the EU, the agricultural trade balance is in the EU’s favour. Between 2000 and 2007, EU exports of agricultural products doubled and account for EUR 1.6 billion. However, the agreement will have budgetary implications; the loss in customs revenues is estimated at approximately EUR 4.96 million (net amount after deduction of collection costs)."@en1
