DRAFT DECISION No X/2021 OF THE EU-SINGAPORE TRADE COMMITTEE

of [date]

amending Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore

THE TRADE COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore, and in particular Articles 10.17.3 and 10.18 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 21 November 2019.

(2)

Article 10.17.3 of the Agreement provides that the Trade Committee adopts a decision regarding the listing in Annex 10-B (Protected Geographical Indications) to the Agreement of the names from Annex 10-A (List of names to be applied for protection as Geographical Indications in the territory of the Parties) to the Agreement as soon as practicable after the procedures for protection of geographical indications have been concluded.

(3)

Article 10.18 of the Agreement provides that the Parties agree on the possibility of amending the list of geographical indications for wines, spirits, agricultural products and foodstuffs listed in Annex 10-B to be protected by each Party.

(4)

The Republic of Singapore completed the procedure for protection in its territory of two names (‘Bardolino Superiore’, ‘Tiroler Speck’) that were listed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement and were applied for protection as geographical indications of the Union.

(5)

The Republic of Singapore completed the procedure for protection in its territory of one name (‘Saint-Emilion Grand Cru’) that was not listed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement and was applied for protection as geographical indications of the Union.

(6)

According to Article 10.18 of the Agreement, and following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union as from 1 January 2021, the name ‘Scotch Whisky’ should be removed from the names listed in Annex 10-B of the Agreement.

(7)

The name ‘Polish Cherry’ is no longer protected in the Union and should be removed from Annex 10-A to the Agreement.

(8)

Consequently, Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Agreement should be amended by listing those additional three names as protected geographical indications of the Union in Annex 10-B and removing two of those names from Annex 10-A. The names ‘Scotch Whisky’ and ‘Polish Cherry’ should also be removed respectively from Annex 10-B and Annex 10-A.
