Communication from the Commission tothe Council
Based onthe experience which has been gained since the entry
into force ofthe agreements with non-acceding EFTA countries ,the
Customs Committees instituted bythe different agreements have for
some time been busy trying toobtain amaximum simplification inthe
customs procedures laid down byProtocol No.3concerning the definition
ofthe concept of"originating products 1'andmethods ofadministrative
cooperation .
Afirst set ofmeasures hasalready been introduced bytheadoption
ofDecision No.10/73oftheJoint Committees which entered into force
on1January 197^andwhich establishes inparticular thenewcerti­
ficate EUH.l .
Acertain number ofother simplifications could notbeadopted
atthe same time because they had notbeen fully examined .
There isinparticular theproblem ofissuing movement certificates
foraccessories ,spare-parts and tools .
Tins problem falls into twoparts :
-Firstly ,when the goods are despatched at'.the same time asthe
equipment ,themachine ,theapparatus orthevehicle towhich they
belcng ;
–secondly ,when they are sent later .
The first part hasbeen catered for intheform ofthe draft decision
oftheJoint Committee EEC-S\tfeden which isannexed (which hasbeen taken
asamodel and which will ,ofcourse ,bethe same for the

-2-»
other agreements ).Ithasreceived theunanimous consent oftheouBtoms
experts from theMember States ontheonehand andapreliminary
approval bytheCustoms Committees onthe other hand .
Thesecond part concerning thelater despatch ofaccessories ,
tools and spare-farts has notreceived theunanimous consent ofMember
States' Customs experts .
Consequently ,itistheaim oftheannexed draft decision only
toregulate for thefirst part ofthis problem byadding a"hewprovision
toArticle 8ofProtcol No.3,asithasalready been amended bythe
said Decision No.10/73-
TheCommission proposes that theCouncil approves theannexed
draft asthecommon position oftheCommunity reached bytheJoint
Committees for theEFTA agreements .
