Whereas the definition of this type of chocolate given in Annex I does not provide for the use of milk in various forms ; whereas this could eventually prevent further manufacture of this type of chocolate, which is, moreover, a quality product;

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE of 7 September 1978 amending Directive 76/447/EEC relating to the triangular system of the outward processing procedure (78/765/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 76/119/EEC of 18 December 1975 on the harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in respect of outward processing (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,

Whereas Commission Directive 76/447/EEC of 4 May 1976 relating to the triangular system of the outward processing procedure (2) provides for the information sheet INF-2 to be used in support of the information required to identify the temporarily exported goods in the reimported compensating products and to determine the basis of taxation relating to the goods temporarily exported for the purpose of granting total or partial relief from the import duties applicable to the compensating products;

Whereas, however, in certain cases, and more particularly when the compensating products are obtained from a large and varied number of temporarily exported goods, the use of information sheet INF-2 would give rise to complications ; whereas provision should be made for the Member States to use other control and information measures of a kind which give the same guarantee;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Customs Processing Arrangements,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

An Article 8a as follows is inserted in Directive 76/447/EEC:

"Article 8a

Member States concerned with a particular trade flow may conclude specific arrangements for information and control procedures other than those based on the use of the INF-2 sheet and offering equivalent guarantees.

Member States intending to conclude such an arrangement shall notify the draft thereof in advance to the Commission, which shall inform the other Member States.

The arrangement may be implemented if, within two months from the date of receipt of such draft, the Commission has not informed the Member States concerned that there are objections to its implementation."

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 6 December 1979 amending Directive 77/799/EEC concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the field of direct taxation (79/1070/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),

Whereas the practice of tax evasion and tax avoidance leads to budget losses and to violations of the principle of fair taxation and jeopardizes healthy competition ; whereas this therefore affects adversely the smooth running of the common market;

Whereas, in order to combat this practice more effectively, cooperation between tax administrations within the Community should be strengthened in accordance with common principles and rules;

Whereas, on 19 December 1977, the Council adopted Directive 77/799/EEC concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the field of direct taxation (3) ; whereas such mutual assistance should be extended to cover indirect taxes in order to ensure that these are correctly assessed and collected;

Whereas, as a matter of particular urgency, mutual assistance must be extended to cover value added tax, both because it is a general tax on consumption and because it plays an important part in the Community's own resources system;

Whereas the provisions of Directive 77/799/EEC are also suitable for value added tax, subject to certain amendments and additions ; whereas it is therefore sufficient to extend the scope of the said Directive,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Directive 77/799/EEC is hereby amended as follows: 1. The title shall be replaced by the following:

"Council Directive of 19 December 1977 concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the fields of direct taxation and value added tax."

"1.
