16.10.  74 Official  Journal  of the European  Communities No C 125/47 
ANNEX 
to the  Opinion  of the  Economic  and  Social  Committee 
The following  amendment  was  rejected  during  the discussion 
Point  2.12  (on Article  4) 
The first  paragraph  should  be replaced  by the following: 
'The  Section  is of the opinion  that  all areas  of economic  and  social  activities  should  be taken 
into account  when  appointing  the representatives  who  are to sit on the Management  Board. 
It therefore  expects  that,  apart  from  the five members  to be proposed  by the European  workers' 
organizations  and  the  five  to be proposed  by the European  employers'  organizations,  the 
members  to be designated  by the Commission  should  be, in particular,  leading  independent 
figures  in the education  and  vocational  training  world  and  representatives  of economic  and 
social  activities  in so far as these  sectors  have  not  already  been  taken  into  account  in the 
appointment  of representatives  of the  other  groups.' 
Point  2.13 
The first  paragraph  should  be deleted. 
Reasons 
Economic  and  social  circles  are,  of course,  extremely  interested  in vocational  training  questions. 
The majority  of the people  directly  affected  by these  questions  come  from  workers'  and  em-
ployers'  circles. 
However,  since  these  circles  do not embrace  all economic  and  social  activities,  it seems  necessary 
to indicate  that  the Commission  is to take  these  other  activities  into  account  in its proposal. 
Result  of the vote: 
for: 45 
against:  51 
abstentions:  4.

B. OPINION  OF  THE  ECONOMIC  AND  SOCIAL  COMMITTEE 
The Economic  and  Social  Committee  prepared  its Opinion  on the above  matter  at its

THE  ECONOMIC  AND  SOCIAL  COMMITTEE, 
Having  regard  to the request  of the  Council  of the 
European  Communities,  dated  3 May  1974,  for an 
opinion  on the proposal  for a Council  Regulation  on 
the customs  treatment  applicable  to goods  returned 
to the customs  territory  of the Community; 
Having  regard  to Article  198  of the  Treaty  estab-
lishing  the European  Economic  Community; 
Having  regard  to the Decision  of its Chairman,  dated 
6 May  1974,  entrusting  the  Section  for  Industry, 
Commerce,  Crafts  and  Services  with  the preparation 
of an opinion  on the matter; 
Having  regard  to the Opinion  delivered  by the Section 
for Industry,  Commerce,  Crafts  and  Services  on 
3 July  1974; 
Having  regard  to discussions  at its 122nd  Plenary 
Session  on 17 and  18 July  1974,  sitting  of 17 July 
1974, HAS  ADOPTED  THE  FOLLOWING  OPINION 
unanimously: 
1. The  Economic  and  Social  Committee  approves 
the proposed  Regulation. 
2. It appears,  however,  that  the wording  of Article  4 
should  be revised  so as to make  quite  clear  that  the 
rules  applicable  to the  return  of goods  originally 
exported  after  inward  processing  are in fact  the rules 
laid down  for inward  processing  in the case  of goods 
to be put into  free  circulation. 
3. In addition,  the Committee  suggests  deleting  the 
words  'recognizable  as' in Article  6. 
Done  at Brussels,  17 July  1974.

of the Economic  and  Social  Committee
