COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0M(92) 537 final 
Brussels, 15 December 1992 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
concluding the Convention on Temporary Admission 
and accepting Its annexes 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. The annexed proposal for a Council Decision provides for conclusion by 
the Council of the Customs Cooperation Council's Convention on Temporary 
Admission (Istanbul, 26 June 1990). The Community signed the Convention, 
subject to acceptance, on 28 June 1990. The text is at Annex I to the 
proposa I. 
2. The Istanbul Convention brings together in a single international 
instrument all the existing conventions on temporary admission of goods 
(including means of transport), most of which the Community already 
applies, the aim being to ensure greater ease of consultation and thus 
facilitate the completion of the customs formalities associated with 
temporary admission. With a unified text, it will also be easier to 
incorporate new rules in this field. 
3. The Convention Includes a territorial (customs union) clause which 
stipulates that the territories of Contracting Parties which form a 
customs or economic union may be taken to be a single territory. There 
are also provisions allowing the Community to be come a Contracting 
Party for matters within its competence for the majority of the subject-
matter covered by the Convention; other aspects of temporary admission, 
however, are still within the competence of the Member States. The 
division of powers must be indicated in the notifications to be sent by 
the Community, a declaration of competence forming a part of such 
notification. The notifications are in Annex Ml to the proposal for a 
Counc iI Dec I s i on. 
4. The Istanbul Convention consists of the body of the Convention proper 
plus its various annexes, each one covering a particular aspect of 
temporary admission. As its objective is to facilitate international 
trade in goods, it is of direct relevance to the operation of the 
customs union and hence to the implementation of the Community's 
commercial policy. 
- 2 -
5. Each annex has the force of a convention in itself and can be accepted 
separately, except Annex A concerning temporary admission papers (ATA 
carnets and CPD carnets), which has to be accepted along with the 
Convention at the time of Its conclusion, together with at least one 
other annex. 
6. The Commission has undertaken a detailed comparative study of the 
provisions of the Convention and the Community legislation, finding 
only minor differences between Community rules and the text of the 
Convent ion. 
7. There is therefore no bar to concluding the Convention on Temporary 
Admission and accepting all its annexes, subject to the necessary 
reservations, for which the annexes themselves provide. 
8. The reservations to be entered by the Community are in Annex II to the 
proposal for a Council Decision. 
9. To facilitate application of Annexes A and C to the Convention, it is 
also desirable to accept the Customs Cooperation Council's 
Recommendations dated 25 June 1992. Notification of acceptance of the 
Recommendations is in Annex IV. 
10. While much of the ground covered by the Convention comes within the 
Community's exclusive competence under Article 113, some aspects are 
still within the national competence, so both the Community and its 
Member States should become parties to the Convention in respect of 
their several powers. 
- 3 -
11. Conclusion 
The Commission recommends that the Council: 
- conclude the Convention on Temporary Admission on behalf of the 
Community; 
- accept on behalf of the Community all the Annexes to the Convention, 
subject to the reservations listed in Annex II to the proposal for the 
Dec i s i on -, 
- accept on behalf of the Community the Customs Cooperation Council's 
Recommendations of 25 June 1992 concerning the ATA carnet and the CDP 
carnet, as set out in Annex IV to the proposal for a Decision; 
- designate the person empowered to deposit the instrument of ratification 
and to communicate to the depositary the conditions of application and 
the information set out in Annexes III and IV to the proposal for a 
Decision.

COUNCIL DECISION 
concluding the Convention on Temporary Admission 
and accepting its annexes 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty instituting the European Economic Community, 
and in particular Article 113 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

of the Customs Cooperation Council and agreed at Istanbul on 26 June 1990 
concerns trade in goods with non-member countries and is therefore an 
effective means of fostering international trade; 
Whereas pursuant to Article 24(6) of the Convention the Community is 
required to communicate to the depositary the conditions of application of 
and the information required under certain provisions; whereas under 
Article 24(7) the Community, as a customs or economic union, is required 
inter al ia to inform the depositary of the matters within its competence, 
indicating those areas which remain within the national competence; 
Whereas in order to facilitate the application of Annexes A and C to the 
Convention, it is desirable also to accept the Customs Cooperation 
Council's Recommendations concerning the ATA carnet and CDP carnet; 
Whereas the Community's authorized representative signed the Convention 
with reservation of acceptance on 28 June 1990; whereas under Article 
24(1)(b) of the Convention, in order to become a Contracting Party to the 
Convention the Community must deposit an instrument of ratification; 
5-
Whereas under Article 24(4) of the Convention each Contracting Party 
acceding to the Convention must accept the Annex concerning temporary 
admission papers (ATA carnets and CDP carnets) and at least one other 
Annex; whereas the Community should accept all the Annexes, subject, 
however, to reservations designed to take account of requirements specific 
to the customs union and the present level of harmonization in the field of 
temporary admission; 
Whereas the Convention should be concluded and the Annexes accepted subject 
to the abovementioned reservations; 
Whereas the participation of the Member States means that the Convention 
must enter into force simultaneously for the Commission and its Member 
States,

DRAFT COMMISSION ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT 
The Istanbul Convention agreed under the auspices of the Customs 
Cooperation Council on 26 June 1990 and signed by the Community subject to 
acceptance on 28 June 1990 brings together in a single instrument the 
existing international texts concerning the temporary admission of goods 
(including means of transport). 
This compilation is designed to facilitate international trade in goods by 
making It easier to identify and apply customs formalities associated with 
temporary admission and to add new rules relating to the procedure. 
The Community's conclusion of this Convention is a field where it exercises 
sole competence in its own right for most of the matters governed by the 
text can only be considered beneficial to economic activity.
