"Agriculture and fisheries were excluded from freedom of circulation within the internal market in the 1992 Agreement on the European Economic Area, of which Norway is a member. Nevertheless, provision was made for the progressive liberalisation of agricultural production through periodic reviews of the conditions of trade in agricultural products, carried out every two years. The latest agreement between Norway and the European Community came into force in July 2003. This agreement comprised the arrangements for reciprocal trade in cheese and mutual concessions for a variety of agricultural products, including tariff quotas. The current proposal is for further liberalisation of some sensitive products, so as to enable some 60% of agricultural trade between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union to be completely free. The report mentions the concessions made by Norway and the concessions made by the EU.
However, it does not mention which of these are beneficial and which are harmful, and, on these occasions, these concessions are never distributed homogenously within the EU. We therefore view the liberalisation of sensitive products like meat, dairy products, fruit and vegetables with concern, as liberalisation of the markets in these areas has greatly affected Portugal and its producers, particularly small and medium-sized producers."@en1
