Brussels,14 September 1989 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86 
on the tariff arrangements applicable to imports into the Community 
of products originating in the occupied territories 
(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The preferential regime applied to Mediterranean countries for exports to 
the Community (exemption from customs duties etc^ maintaining, however, the 
agricultural levies) has been extended to the territories occupied by 
Israel, by Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86. 
This Regulation did not, however, Include the usual clause whereby the 
levies (variable component of the customs charge) are also maintained for 
non-Annex II processed agricultural products, governed by Regulation (EEC) 
No 3033/80. 
This proposal corrects this anomaly by aligning the regime for the occupied 
territories on that provided In the agreements with the other Mediterranean 
countries, by providing that, for the products In question, the exemption 
concerns only the fixed component (customs duty) of the customs charge.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
and in particular Article 113 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas the coopérâtiorv agreements with the southern and eastern 
Mediterranean countries provide for free access to the Community for 
industrial products and preferential tariff treatment for certain 
agricultural products originating In those countries; 
Whereas no such preferential treatment applies to products originating in 
the West Bank of the River Jordan or the Gaza Strip (called the 'occupied 
territories'), both occupied by Israel; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86 of 27 October 19861 put an end 
to this situation; whereas, however, It should be specified that Article 1 
of that Regulation does not prohibit the charging of a variable component 
on the goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80,2 as last amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No 3743/87 of 14 December 1987,3
