JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/81 of 8 July 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 Kingdom of Norway signed in Brussels on 14 May 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,

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, 8 July 1981.

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, and in particular Article 12a thereof,

Whereas the Community, in consequence of the implementation of the results of the GATT multilateral trade negotiations (Tokyo Round), has amended the nomenclature of Common Customs Tariff heading Nos 21.04 and 48.07;

Whereas the Community has replaced the unit of account by the ECU in Community legal instruments ; whereas this replacement affects also Common Customs Tariff heading Nos 21.07 and 22.09 appearing in Table I annexed to Protocol 2;

Whereas the nomenclature of the products referred to in the Agreement should therefore be adjusted in accordance with the said amendments,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

1. The tables contained in Article 1 (1) and (3) of Protocol 1 are hereby amended as follows:

- in the heading to the second column, subheading "48.07 D" shall be inserted after subheading "48.07 C".

2. The nomenclature of Annex A to Protocol 1 is hereby amended as follows:

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, signed at Brussels at 14 May 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 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'.
