DECISION N° 1/87 OF THE EEC-CYPRUS ASSOCIATION COUNCIL

of 11 December 1987

again amending Articles 6 and 17 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation

THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus, signed in Brussels on 19 December 1972,

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

Whereas the equivalent value of the ECU in certain national currencies on 1 October 1986 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1984; whereas the automatic change in the base date laid down in Decision N° 1/81 of the Association Council would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ECU,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:

1. in the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), '2 355 ECU' is replaced by '2 590 ECU';

2. in Article 17 (2), '165 ECU' is replaced by '180 ECU' and '470 ECU' by '515 ECU'.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1988.

Done at Brussels, 11 December 1987.

For the Association Council

DECISION N° 1/87 OF THE EEC-SWEDEN JOINT COMMITTEE of 22 May 1987 altering the limits expressed in ECU in Article 8 of Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation

THE EEC-SWEDEN 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, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas the equivalents of the ECU in some national currencies on 1 October 1986 were lower than their equivalents on 1 October 1984; whereas this fact, as a result of the automatic change of base date provided for in Article 8 (4) of Protocol 3, would lead, on the conversion into the national currencies concerned, to a lowering of the effective limits for simplified documentary requirements; whereas, in order to avoid this, the limits expressed in ECU should be raised,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

1. Article 8 of Protocol 3 as last amended is hereby amended as follows:

- in paragraph 1 (b) '4 000 ECU' is replaced by '4 400 ECU',

- in paragraph 2, '280 ECU' is replaced by '310 ECU' and '800 ECU' by '880 ECU'.

2. In point 1 of Article 1 of Decision N° 3/86 of the EEC-Sweden Joint Committee '4 000 ECU' is replaced by '4 400 ECU'.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 May 1987.

DECISION N° 3/88 OF THE EEC-FINLAND JOINT COMMITTEE of 8 December 1988 supplementing and amending Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation

THE EEC-FINLAND JOINT COMMITTEE,

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

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, in the light of experience, the origin rules applying to used tyres collected in the Community or in Finland to be sent for retreading to the other contracting party should be specified to eliminate certain practical problems arising for industry and customs administrations; whereas to this end the text of Article 4 (h) of Protocol 3 should be supplemented and a new explanatory note to that provision should be incorporated,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Protocol 3 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 4 (h) shall be replaced by the following:

(h) used articles collected there, fit only for the recovery of raw materials, subject to Note 5a on used tyres contained in Annex I to this Protocol;'.

2. In Annex I ('Explanatory Notes') the following shall be inserted:

'Note 5a - Article 4 (h)

In the case of used tyres, the term ''used articles collected there, fit only for the recovery of raw materials'' does not only cover used tyres fit only for the recovery of raw materials but also used tyres fit only for retreading or for use as waste.'

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.

Done at Brussels, 8 December 1988.

DECISION N° 4/88 OF THE EEC-ICELAND JOINT COMMITTEE of 16 December 1988 amending, in relation to heading N° 8401, the List in Annex III to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation

THE EEC-ICELAND JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland, signed at 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 the List in Annex III to Protocol 3 derogating in respect of nuclear fuel elements from the origin rule applicable to Chapter 84 of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) is valid only until 31 December 1988; whereas nuclear fuel elements of heading N° 8401 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

In the List in Annex III to Protocol 3, the footnote relating to heading N° 8401 is hereby replaced by the following:

'For nuclear fuel elements of heading N° 8401, the rule in column (3) does not apply until 31 December 1993. However, materials classified in heading N° 8401 may be used provided their value does not exceed 5 % of the ex-works price of the product'.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.

Done at Brussels, 16 December 1988.

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,

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 Joint Declaration annexed to Decision N° 1/88 of the Joint Committee provides for a review of the changes made to the rules of origin following the introduction of the Harmonized System where the amendments result in a situation prejudicial to the interest of the sectors concerned; whereas it also provides for the substance of the rule of origin concerned to be restored as from 1 January 1988;

Whereas the rule of origin concerning cereals other than maize (corn), in grain form, pre-cooked or otherwise prepared, which was established by Decision N° 1/88 of the Joint Committee, should be amended to restore the substance of this rule as it was before the introduction of the Harmonized System,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
