5.2 METHOD OFCALCULATION • ;
vExperience acquired during theapplication ofthesystem oftheconventional
price showed that theexporting countries concerned try toobserve the
conventional price inorder toavoid having topayallthecustoms duties on
import .Since 1976 theCommunity hasrefrained from applying this system in
respect ofcertain Mediterranean countries .Renewal ofthesuspension of
this system forafurther year therefore involves nosignificant effect on
receipts from customs duties *
