EXPLANATORY NOTE
Byletter No672/ACP/79 ,of23July 1979 ,theJoint-Chairman oftheACP-EEC
Customs Cooperation Committee introduced arequest onbehalf ofMalawi
andKenya foranewderogation from theconcept oforiginating products
forfishing flies .Theperiod requested forthis derogation istwoyears .
These flies aremade from hooks imported from third countries .Hooks and
flies' areboth classified under thesame heading intheCustoms Cooperation
Council Nomenclature sothefinished product does notqualify asan
originating product asthere isnochange oftariff heading even though
thehooks donot amount tomore than about 25%ofthevalue ofthefinished
product . ¥
Thetwoderogations previously accorded were toallow Malawi andKenya
 
tofind newsources ofsupply forhooks . -
But ,according totheletter referred toabove ,itseems that ithasnot
been possible tochange thehabits ofCommunity losers .
This letter requests aneworigin rule consisting oftheinsertion inList
BoftheOrigin Protocol totheLome Convention fortheproducts ofheading ex
97.07 because ofthelevel ofvalue added inMalawi andKenya ;this being
75%ofthevalue ofthefinished product .,
Inorder to .avoid having agapinlegal cover anewderogation fortwo
years would allow foradetailed study ofthis question under satisfactory
conditions .Inaddition ,itconcerns such asmall quantity that no
disturbance could seem possible . -
Asthepresent Convention expires on1March 1980 itisnecessary to
envisage three separate legal acts : ~\
-aDecision oftheACP-EEC Council ofMinisters fortheperiod lJanuary
1980 until 1March -1980 ,with aCouncil Regulation applying this Decision
intheCommunity , - • •

aCouncil Reaulation covering theperiod inwhich certain provisions of
thenew .Convention areapplied inanticipation
-aDecision oftheACP-EEC Customs Cooperation Committee forthe
period between theentry into force oftheConvention and 31December
1981 ,with aCouncil Regulation applying this Decision intheCommunity .
Consequently theCommission recommends theattached drafts .
