JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 4/81 of 1 June 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 Swiss Confederation signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972,

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 Switzerland, 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."

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1982.

Done at Brussels, 1 June 1981.

DECISION No 1181 OF THE EEC-LEBANON COOPERATION COUNCIL of 20 October 1981 replacing the unit of account by the ECU in the Protocol on the definition of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Lebanese Republic

THE COOPERATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Lebanese Republic, 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', and in particular Articles 6 (1) and 25 thereof,

Whereas, since the unit of account is not to the current international monetary situation, it is necessary to find an alternative so as to continue to have a common value basis for determining when forms EUR. 2 may be used instead of movement certificates EUR. 1 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 deleted and the following inserted:

'Up to and including 30 April 1983 the ECU to be used in any given national currency of a Member State of the Community shall be the equivalent in - that national currency of the' ECU as at 1 October 1980. For each successive period of two years 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.

Revised amounts replacing the amounts expressed in ECU in this Article and in Article 17(2) may be introduced by the Community at the beginning of any successive two-year period, if necessary, and shall be notified by the Community to the Customs Cooperation Committee not later than one month before they come into force. These amounts shall be, in any event, such as to ensure that the value of the limits as expressed in the currency of any Member State shall not decline.

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

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

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1982.

Done at Brussels, 20 October 1981.

JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 2/81 of 1 June 1981 amending Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation to take account of the change in the international method of determining "customs value"

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 Explanatory Note 6 to that Protocol needs amending consequent upon the adoption of the Agreement on implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade done at Geneva on 12 April 1979, which contains a new international method of determining "customs value",

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

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

""Customs value" shall be understood as meaning the customs value as determined in accordance with the Agreement on implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade done at Geneva on 12 April 1979."

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1981.

Done at Brussels, 1 June 1981. For the Joint Committee

The President

Pierre CUÉNOUD
JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/81 of 24 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 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 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, 24 June 1981.

JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/82 of 16 November 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 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 (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

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, 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".
