INAUSTRIA,FINLAND,NORWAYANDSWEDEN(1980)
(presentedbytheCommissiontotheCouncil)
COM(79)516final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Theproposals forRegulations joint hereto have astheir objective
-toestablish indicative ceilings tobeapplied in1980 for
imports ofcertain goods originating intheEFTA^countries ;
**toattribute totheCommission thecompetence toreestablish
customs duties under certain conditions 1}
*-toestablish ,asystem ofsurveillance relating toimports of
goods which areorarenotsubject toceilings . ' .
J,TheAgreements' concluded bytheEECwith .Austria ,Finland f
Norway andSweden specially provide forthephased abolition
ofcustoms *duties ,entailing five ,reductions each !of2Q%
during atransitional period extending until 1July 1177 ,
Except ionnally ,Articles Jand 2oftheProtocole n*J
annexed tothese Agreements stipulate that ,foracertain
.number ofgoods ,this abolition ofduties is<tobeachieved
bysmaller reductions ofduties over atransitional period
ending on33December 19&3 ,Furthermore ,another provision
-'inthis Protocol isthat imports ofsome ofthese goods to
which these special tariff arrangements apply shall besubject
toindicative ceilings' above which thecustoms duties
•applicable tonon-member countries maybereintroduced until ^
theend ofthecalendar year ,
2,Implementation ofthese twoprovisions ;
(a)annual target ceilings ,and
(b)reintroduction ofcustoms duties ,
implies theadoption ofprecise common rules tobeapplied
uniformly byallMember States -,These requirements maybe
metbytheestablishment ofaCommunity system ofsupervision
ofactual imports from each ofthepartner countries ,Tothis
end ,theMember States ,should take appropriate measures "to
permit therapid collection ofstatistical returns at

Community level .Inthis connection itisnecessary totake
into account only imports oftheproducts inquestion asand
when they aresubmitted tothecustoms authorities under the
cover ofadeclaration ofentry forhome useandaccompanied
byamovement certif icate conforming totherules contained
intheAgreement referred tounder -1above .
These returns should bedrawn upbyeach Member State atthe
endofevery month andforwarded bythefifteens dayofthe
following month totheCommission soastoenable thelatter
tocommunicate bytelex toalltheMember States theoverall ,
good-ky^ -goodreturns *fortheimports inquestion inthepreceding
-month .Thesystem ofsupervision will require oftheresponsible
departments ofthe -Member States andtheCommission diligence
andclose cooperation .
Thefollowing system would beadopted forsetting intrain machi­
nery toreintroduce duties :ifoneoftheoverall monthly
returns drawn upby-theCommission revealed that 75%ofthe
ceiling fixed foragiven goodhadbeenreached ;consultations
could beheld ,forexample intheWorking Party onEconomic
Tariff Problems ,either attherequest ofaMember State or
upon theCommission 'sinitiative .Theaimofthese consulta­
tions would betoexamine ,case bycase ,the^introduction or
notofthelevying ofcustoms -duties applicable tonon-member
countries once thetarget ceiling is.actually reached .
Monthly retuns would still bemade inrespect ofimports ofthe
product inquestion or,ifitisrequested bytheCommission by
telex atintervals oftendays -.Thesetterm forthetransmission
ofthis -la ,stmentioned information isfive days .Inthiscondi­
tions ,theCommission would beable totake ,within theshortest
possible time ,measures leading tothereproduction ,byregula­
tion ,ofcustoms duties inrespect ofthepartner country until
theendofthecalendar year ,Intheabove hypothesis ,the

reintroduction ofthelevying ofcustoms duties onthegood
■»
under consideration would ,naturally ,beeffected within
thetime^limit fixed bytheregulation ,putting anendtothe
reduction ofduties provided forintheProtocols n® 1,
Asfar .asapplication oftherule onceilings andreintroduction
ofduties ivsconcerned ,theattached proposals make provisions
forconferring powers -oftheCouncil upon theCommission ,
Theproposed regulations donomore thanoutline Jhowthese
powers are tobeexercised sothat ,inconsultation with the
Member States ,themachinery tobesetintrain maybeadapted
flexibly andrapidlyv Furthermore ,itislikewise with aview
tomaximum efficiency -andrapidity that theproposed regulations
laydown that iswould be*uptotheCommission toreintroduce t
inrespect ofthepartner country ,thelevying oftheduties
