If a guaranteeing association is asked, in accordance with the procedure set out in this Article, to pay the sums referred to in Article 8, paragraphs 1 and 2, and fails to do so within the time limit of three months prescribed by the Convention, the competent authorities may rely on national regulations in requiring payment of the sums in question because what is involved in such cases is a failure to carry out a contract of guarantee entered into by the guaranteeing association under national law. The time limit also applies in the event that the guaranteeing association, on receipt of the claim, consults the international organisation referred to in Article 6, paragraph 2, over its position concerning the claim.’

DECISION No 4/74 OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE of 2 December 1974 suspending the application of Article 23(1) of Protocol No 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 Norway, signed in Brussels on 14 May 1973;

Having regard to Protocol No 3 on the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, hereinafter referred to as 'Protocol No 3', and in particular Article 28 thereof;

Whereas the present text of Article 23(1) of Protocol No 3 provides that with effect from the date on which the duty applicable to originating products of the relevant kind has been reduced in the Community and in Norway to 40 % of the basic duty, no drawback or remission of any kind may be granted from customs duties in respect of non-originating products used in the manufacture of those originating products;

Whereas, by reason principally of differences in the tariff arrangements applied to the various products used in manufacture, the application of these provisions, which for most products would be on 1 January 1975, would result in considerable difficulties as well as adding to the tasks of the customs administrations;

Whereas it is therefore desirable to suspend the application of these provisions for one year,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The application of Article 23(1) of Protocol No 3 shall suspended until 31 December 1975.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1975.

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 experience acquired since the entry into force of the Agreement shows that the rules of origin laid down for certain products in Protocol 3 must be adapted to take account of the evolution of manufacturing techniques of those products and the international economic conditions concerning trade in those products;

Whereas it is now convenient to supplement and modify certain of these rules,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

In List A annexed to Protocol 3 the rule relating to heading No 59.17 shall be replaced by those set out in Annex I to this Decision.
