ANNEX

Statements to the legislative "A" item set out in doc. 13148/26

Ad "A" item 1):

Regulation on temporary trade liberalisation measures applicable to

Armenian products

Adoption of the legislative act

Decision to derogate from the eight-week period provided for in Article 4

of Protocol 1 on the role of national parliaments in the EU

STATEMENT BY HUNGARY

“Hungary welcomes the European Union’s efforts to strengthen its trade and investment ties with

the countries of the Eastern Partnership and the Caucasus region, including Armenia. We agree that

the Union should show solidarity and support Armenia in view of the current difficult economic

situation.

Nevertheless, we regret that no analysis or impact assessment was carried out prior to the

submission of the proposal. The Regulation would liberalise trade in several fruit and vegetable

products that are traditionally sensitive for the Hungarian agricultural sector. It would be important

to establish a regular monitoring mechanism for trade in all sensitive products, including processed

cucumbers, tomatoes and apples.

We welcome the safeguard mechanism included in the Regulation that allows the Commission to

impose any measure necessary, where imports of a product under the regulation adversely affect the

Union market or the market of one Member State.

We consider it important, and support the Commission’s commitment, to keep the Council and the

European Parliament continuously informed about the impact of the regulation on trade flows and

the Union market.”
