DECISION 1/76 OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE of 12 April 1976 amending 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 Kingdom of Norway, signed in Brussels on 14 May 1973,

Whereas it is necessary to extend until 31 December 1984 the present exception for these elements,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

In List A annexed to Protocol 3, the text of footnote (1) referring to Chapter 84 shall be replaced by the following:

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, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Article 1

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

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic 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,

DECISION No 1/81 OF THE COOPERATION COUNCIL of 18 November 1981 replacing the unit of account by the ECU in the Protocol on the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel

THE COOPERATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel, and in particular Title I thereof,

Having regard to the Protocol 3 concerning the application of Article 2 (3) of the Agreement, hereinafter called 'the Protocol', and in particular Article 25 thereof,

Whereas the unit of account is not appropriate to the current international monetary situation; whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt a new common value basis for determining when EUR.2 forms may be used instead of EUR.1 movement certificates 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 replaced by the following:

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

Amounts in the national currency of the exporting State equivalent to the amounts expressed in this Article and in Article 17 in ECU shall be fixed by the exporting State and communicated to the other parties to the Agreement.

When these amounts are more than the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing State, the importing State shall accept them if the goods are invoiced in the currency of the exporting State.

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

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

Article 2

DECISION No 1/83 OF THE EEC-ISRAEL COOPERATION COUNCIL of 8 December 1983 amending Article 30 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel

THE COOPERATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel signed in Brussels on 11 May 1975,

Having regard to Protocol 3 of the Agreement (*), and in particular Article 25 thereof,

(*) OJ No L 190, 29.7.1977, p. 3.

Whereas, at present, Article 30 of Protocol 3 provides that, unless the Cooperation Council decides otherwise, no drawback or remission of any kind may be granted from customs duties in respect of non-originating products used in the manufacture of originating products as from 1 January 1984;

Whereas the Second Additional Protocol to the Agreement(**), concluded in 1981, extends by two years the process of dismantling tariffs on products listed in Annex A to Protocol 2 to the Agreement; whereas, for this reason, the entry into force on 1 January 1984 of the prohibition contained in Article 30 of Protocol 3 could have economic consequences damaging to preferential trade;

(**) OJ No L 102, 14.4.1981, p. 2.

Whereas it is Israel's wish to have more time to adjust its customs arrangements to allow for implementation of the prohibition;

Whereas the introduction of the prohibition should be delayed for two years, in line with the timetable in force for tariffs,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The text of Article 30 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 30

1. As from 1 January 1986, no drawback or remission of any kind may be granted from customs duties in the Community or in Israel in respect of products referred to in Article 1 of Protocols 1 and 2 used in manufacture which do not originate in the Community or Israel.

2. In this and the preceding Articles, "customs duties" also means charges having an equivalent effect to customs duties'
