DECISION No 1/83 OF THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL

of 17 October 1983

again amending Articles 6 and 17 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation

THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus, signed in Brussels on 19 December 1972,

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 European unit of account in certain national currencies on 1 October 1982 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1980; whereas the automatic change in the base date laid down in Decision No 1/81 of the Association 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 European units of account,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:

1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), '1 620 ECU' is replaced by '2 000 ECU',

2. In Article 17 (2), '105 ECU' is replaced by '140 ECU' and '325 ECU' by '400 ECU'.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 November 1983.

Done at Luxembourg, 17 October 1983.
