DECISION 1/76 OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE of 12 April 1976 amending List A annexed to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation

THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria, signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972,

Having regard to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas the present rule, laid down in List A annexed to the aforesaid Protocol, for boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances falling within Chapter 84 of the Common Customs Tariff, does not apply until 31 December 1977 to fuel elements falling within heading No 84.59 of the Common Customs Tariff;

Whereas the production of these elements depends upon long-term supply contracts for obtaining raw materials; whereas it is consequently desirable to determine now the rule to apply to these elements after 31 December 1977;

Whereas it is necessary to extend until 31 December 1984 the present exception for these elements,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

In List A annexed to Protocol 3, the text of footnote (1) referring to Chapter 84 shall be replaced by the following:

'(1) These special provisions shall not apply to fuel elements falling within heading No 84.59 until 31 December 1984.'

DECISION No 4/78 OF THE ACP-EEC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS of 21 December 1978 derogating from the definition of the concept 'originating products' to take into account the special situation of Kenya with regard to certain items of fishing tackle (fishing flies)

THE ACP-EEC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS,

Having regard to the ACP-EEC Convention of Lomé, signed on 28 February 1975 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Convention'), and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 27 of Protocol 1 to the Convention, concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, makes provision for derogations from the rules of origin in particular to facilitate the development of existing industries or the creation of new industries ;

Whereas the ACP States have submitted a request from the Government of the Republic of Kenya for a derogation from the definition set out in Protocol 1 for items of fishing tackle manufactured in that State;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 27 of Protocol 1, the Customs Cooperation Committee has adopted a report on this request ;

Whereas in order to take into account the special situation of the Republic of Kenya and to enable the relevant industrial sector to develop its industry and to examine the possibility of using Community products for the manufacture of the articles in question, a derogation should be made for 18 months, which should meet this request;

Whereas any possible deflection of trade should be avoided; whereas this aim can be achieved by fixing a maximum percentage of non-originating products incorporated in the finished product,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

By way of derogation from the provisions of Protocol 1, items of fishing tackle manufactured in Kenya and falling within CCT heading No ex 97.07 'fishing flies', shall be considered as originating in Kenya provided that the value of the non-originating fish-hooks used for their manufacture, falling within CCT heading No ex 97.07, does not exceed 25% of the value of the finished product.

Article 2

The movement certificates EUR.1 issued for originating products by virtue of the derogation contained in Article 1 shall contain in box 7 'remarks' one of the following endorsements :

- 'Dégoration fishing flies',

- 'Undtagelse fluer til fiskeri',

- 'Afwijking kunstvliegen voor de visserij',

- 'Derogation mouches pour la pêche',

- 'Abweichung Fliegen zum Flugangeln',

- 'Deroga mosche per la pesca'.

Article 3

The competent authorities of the Republic of Kenya shall forward to the Commission every three months a statement of the quantities in respect of which movement certificates EUR.1 have been issued pursuant to this Decision, indicating the Member States of destination.

Article 4

The ACP States, the Member States and the Community shall each take the measures required to implement this Decision.

Article 5

This Decision shall enter in force on 1 June 1978.

It shall apply until 31 December 1979.

THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland signed in Brussels on 5 October 1973,

Having regard to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The second subparagraph of Explanatory Note 6 to Protocol 3 shall be replaced by the following:

DECISION No 1/81 OF THE EEC-CYPRUS ASSOCIATION COUNCIL of 12 November 1981 replacing the unit of account by the ECU in the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus

THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus, and in particular Title I thereof,

Having regard to the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, hereinafter called 'the Protocol', annexed to the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement, and in particular Article 25 thereof,

Whereas the unit of account is not appropriate to the current international monetary situation; Whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt a new common value basis for determining when EUR.2 forms may be used instead of EUR.1 movement certificates and when no documentary evidence of origin is required;

Whereas the European Communities introduced the ECU as from 1 January 1981;

Whereas it is convenient to use the ECU to serve as a common value basis;

Whereas for administrative and commercial reasons the common value basis must remain fixed for periods of at least two years; whereas the ECU to be used must in consequence be exceptionally fixed at a base date to be updated every two years,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Protocol shall be amended as follows:

1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), the amount '1 000 units of account' shall be replaced by '1 620 ECU'.

2. In Article 6 (1), the third subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:

'Up to and including 30 April 1983, the ECU to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in the national currency of the ECU as at 1 October 1980. For each successive period of two years thereafter it shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the ECU as at the first working day in October in the year immediately preceding that two-year period.

Amounts in the national currency of the exporting State equivalent to the amounts expressed in this Article and in Article 17 in ECU shall be fixed by the exporting State and communicated to the other parties to the Agreement.

When these amounts are more than the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing State, the importing State shall accept them if the goods are invoiced in the currency of the exporting State.

If the goods are invoiced in the currency of another Member State of the Community, the importing State shall recognize the amount notified by the State concerned'.

3. In Article 17 (2) of the Protocol, the amounts '60 units of account' and '200 units of account' shall be replaced by '105 ECU' and '325 ECU' respectively.

Having regard to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas, as a result of the adoption of Joint Committee Decision No 1/77, certain anomalies in the rules of origin relating to enzymatic preparations have been established ; whereas it is appropriate to remove these anomalies,

Article 1

In List A annexed to Protocol 3, the rule relating to heading No ex 35.07 shall be replaced by that set out in Annex I to this Decision.

JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/82 of 6 September 1982 amending, in relation to heading No 84.59, List A annexed to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation

THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden, signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972,

Having regard to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation (hereinafter referred to as "Protocol 3"), and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas the footnote contained in List A of Protocol 3 derogating in respect of nuclear fuel elements from the origin rule applicable to Chapter 84 of the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature (CCCN) is valid only until 31 December 1984 ; whereas nuclear fuel elements of heading No 84.59 manufactured from non-originating uranium enriched in the Community do not yet satisfy the basic requirements of the rules on origin applicable to Chapter 84 and will probably not do so in the foreseeable future ; whereas it is therefore necessary to extend the derogation for a further period;

Whereas in the nuclear fuel industry contracts are concluded for long periods and well in advance of the date when supplies are commenced ; whereas it is advisable to provide for legal certainty in this connection ; whereas it is therefore necessary to extend the derogation at this time,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The footnote relating to heading No 84.59 at present in List A annexed to Protocol 3 is hereby replaced by the following:

"These provisions shall not apply to fuel elements of heading No 84.59 until 31 December 1988."
