DECISION N° 1/87 OF THE EEC-ISRAEL COOPERATION 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 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 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 Cooperation 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.

DECISION N° 1/87 OF THE EEC-SWITZERLAND JOINT COMMITTEE of 4 June 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-SWITZERLAND 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 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-Switzerland Joint Committee '4 000 ECU' is replaced by '4 400 ECU'.

DECISION N° 4/88 OF THE EEC-AUSTRIA JOINT COMMITTEE of 14 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-AUSTRIA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria, 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'.

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 Protocol 3 origin rules applying to sodium perborate falling within heading ex 2840 must be amended to take account of changes in manufacturing techniques and the economic conditions of international trade in the product,
