THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products, and in particular, Article 7(2) thereof,

(2) Decision No 1/97 of the EC Turkey Association Council establishes arrangements applicable to certain processed agricultural products.

(3) Decision No 1/2007 of the EC Turkey Association Council establishes new trade improvements applicable to certain processed agricultural products which aim to deepen and widen the Customs Union and to improve economic convergence as a result of the enlargement of the Community on 1 May 2004.
