Whereas experience acquired since the entry into force of the Agreement shows that the origin rule laid down for certain imitation jewellery 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;

ANNEX
JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/81 of 1 June 1981 further amending Article 8 of 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 Swiss Confederation 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 European unit of account in some national currencies on 1 October 1980 were lower than their equivalents on 30 June 1978 ; whereas this fact, as a result of the automatic change of base date provided for in Decision No 1/78 of the Joint Committee would lead, on the conversion into the national currencies concerned, to a diminution of the effective limits for simplified documentary requirements ; whereas in order to avoid this, it is necessary to raise the limits expressed in European units of account;

Whereas the Community as from 1 January 1981 has replaced the European unit of account by the European currency unit, known as the ECU;

Whereas it is therefore appropriate to substitute the term "ECU" for the term "European unit of account" in the said Protocol,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Article 8 of Protocol 3 as amended by Joint Committee Decision No 1/78 is hereby amended by replacing in:

- paragraph 1 (b) the expression "2 400 European units of account" by "2 750 ECU",

- paragraph 2 the expression "165 European units of account" by "190 ECU" and the expression "480 European units of account" by "550 ECU",

- paragraphs 3 and 4 the term "European unit of account" by the term "ECU" in all cases.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 May 1981.

Done at Brussels, 1 June 1981.

JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 4/81 of 20 July 1981 amending, as regards products sent in small packages to private persons, Article 8 of 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 Portuguese Republic signed in Brussels on 22 July 1973,

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

Whereas, since Article 8 (2) of Protocol 3 has not been interpreted uniformly, it is necessary to amend the text to ensure that all commercial exports are treated in the same way,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The text of Article 8 (2) of Protocol 3 shall be replaced by the following:

"2. The following originating products within the meaning of this Protocol shall, on importation into the Community or into Portugal, benefit from the Agreement without it being necessary to produce either of the documents referred to in paragraph 1:

(a) products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons, provided that the value of the products does not exceed 190 ECU;

(b) products forming part of travellers' personal luggage, provided that the value of the products does not exceed 550 ECU.

These provisions shall be applied only when such products are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the conditions required for the application of the Agreement, and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such declaration.

Importations which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as importations by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view."

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1982.

JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/82 of 16 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 Republic of Iceland, 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."

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 October 1982.
