COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  264 final 
Brussels,  17  May 1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
implementing  in the  Community  revised  amounts  for the  documentary  requirements 
in Protocol  3 concerning  the definition  of the concept of originating 
products  and methods of administrative cooperation  to the 
Cooperation  Agreement between  the European Economic 
Community  and the  Socialist  Federal Republic 
of Yugosolavia 
(submitted  to the  Council by the Commission) 
COM(83) 264 final 

EXPLANATORY  NOTE 
Articles  6 and 17 of Protocol  No. 3 concerning  the definition  of the  con­
cept of "originating  products"  and methods  of administrative cooperation 
to the cooperation  agreement  between  the Community  and Yugoslavia lays 
down the  amounts  for determining  when forms EUR.2 may be  used instead  of 
movement  certificates  EUR.l or when no  documentary  evidence  of origin is 
required . 
The base date provided for  in Protocol  No. 3 for determining  the equiva­
lent value of the  abovementioned  amounts  in the  various national currencies 
is automatically  changed  every two years. The first change  took place via 
Council  Regulation  (EEC) No.  3018/81  of 19 October  1981 (1). 
As the equivalent values  of these amounts  in the  various national currencies 
on 1st October 1982 are reduced compared  to their corresponding values  on 
1st October  1980, thé  equivalent value  limits in the  national currencies 
corresponding  to the  amounts  laid down in  Articles  6 and 17 are accordingly 
reduced . 
To remedy  this situation  in conformity with  Article  6 of the  said Protocol 
No. 3 which provides that  the new  amounts  should be such that their values 
expressed  in the  national currency  of a given Member  State are not  reduced,, 
it is considered  opportune  to increase  the amounts  in question. 
This is the  purpose  of this draft  Council Regulation. 
(1) OJ No. L  302 of 23.10.81 

Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
implementing in the Community revised  amounts  for the documentary require­
ments  in Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of originating 
products and  methods  of administrative cooperation to the Cooperation Agreement 
between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic 
of Yugoslavia 
THE COUNCIL  OF THE  EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having  regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic  Community, 
Having  regard to the  Cooperation  Agreenent  between 
the European Economic Community and the  Socialiit 
Federal  Republic of  Yugoslavia  (1),  signed  In 
Belgrade  en 2  April  1980, and 
in particular  Article  6 of  Protocol.  3 thereto, 
concerning the definition of the concept of  origi­
nating products and methods, of administrative 
cooperation, 
Having  regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas  Article  6 of Protocol 3 lays down  that  the 
Community  may, if necessary, revise the  amounts  for 
determining when forms EUR. 2 may be used instead 
of movement certificates EUR. 1 or when no docu­
mentary evidence of  origin  is required as provided in 
Articles  6 and 17 of the said Protocol; 
Whereas on 1 October 1982 the equivalent values of 
the amounts  concerned in the various national curren­
cies were lower than their values obtaining on 
1st October  1980; Whereas as a consequence of the bi-annual automatic 
adaptation of the  base  date  provided for in Protocol 3 
the actual value limits of the  amounts  referred to in 
Articles  6 aid 17 of the said Protocol would be 
reduced ; whereas, in order to avoid such a reduction, 
it is necessary to increase  these  amounts, 
HAS  ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION  : 
Article  I 
The amount  laid  down in the second subparagraph of 
Article  6 (I) of Protocol 2 shall be increased to 2 000. 
The amounts  laid  down in  Article  17 (2) of the said 
Protocol  shall be increased to 140 and 400 respec­
tively. 
Article  2 
This  Regulation shall  enter  into force on the day of its 
publication  in the  Official  Journal o/ the European 
Com inanities. 
It shall apply from 1 May ' 1983. 
This  Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member 
States.
