originating inthe ACP States ,provided that they are covered bya
common market organization within themeaning ofArticle 40ofthe

treatment isgenerally more favourable than' that accorded to .third
countries where the Community provisions inforce atthe time of
importation ofthese products provide forthe application ofother
import measures apart from customs duties (e.g. levies ,reference
prices ).Where the Community rules donotprovide forsuch measures ,
