There are -"several reasons ,'hich arguo infavour ofaCoram ;'nit-instrument
toensure the implementation ofthis ..'osolution inthe c.stoms territory there ¬
ofasfrom 1January 1977•
Inthefirst place since thoComnmity negotiated strongly forthoright to
become aContracting Party totheTIR Convention .,theother Parties tothe
Convention -rould find itdiffic Ittounderstand the absence ofany
Community action toensure t^he implementation ,asanticipated ,ofthePart
ofthe Convention .
Secondly ,thono-;rules consequent onanamendment oftherules inforce
inall Ilomber States inanarea '.:hic/hifnotwholly then partially stems
from Community responsibility asthoConvention itself should bothe subject
of0.Regulation oftheCouncil !uith avixew toincorporation into Community

ensured 011aCommunity basis '..'ithout Ilember States being abliged toadopt
