2. Fil-każijiet speċifikati fl-Artikoli 22 sa 26, qabel jittieħdu l-miżuri previsti hemmhekk jew, f'każijiet li japplika għalihom il-paragrafu 3 (e), malajr kemm jista' jkun, il-Parti Kontraenti inkwistjoni għandha tforni lill-Kumitat Konġunt bl-informazzjoni rilevanti kollha meħtieġa għal eżaminazzjoni kompluta tas-sitwazzjoni biex tinstab soluzzjoni aċċettabbli għall-Partijiet Kontraenti.

Jekk il-Parti Kontraenti in kwistjoni ma jirnexxiliex iġġib fi tmiem il-prattika li hemm oġġezzjoni għaliha fi żmien perjodu ffissat mill-Kumitat Konġunt, jew fin-nuqqas ta' ftehim fil-Kumitat Konġunt fi żmien tlett xhur li l-materja kienet riferita lilu, il-Parti Kontraenti konċernata tista' tadotta miżuri ta' salvagwardjar li tqis neċessarji biex jieħdu ħsieb id-diffikoltajiet serji li jirriżultaw mill-prattiċi in kwistjoni; b'mod partikolari tista' tirtira konċessjonijiet fuq it-tariffi.

Il-piż biex tikkumpensa għandu jkun ikkalkolat skond l-inċidenza fuq il-valur tal-prodotti inkwistjoni tad-differenzi fit-tariffi għal dak li għandu x'jaqsam mal-materja prima jew prodotti intermedjarji inkorparati ġo fihom.

Dwar is-subparagrafu (ii) ta' l-Artikolu 24a, it-theddida ta' nuqqas għandha tkun debitament pruvata b'indikaturi approprjati kwantitattivi u tal-prezzijiet. Il-Kumitat Konġunt jista' jieħu kull deċiżjoni meħtieġa biex jinġiebu fi tmiem id-diffikoltajiet. Jekk il-Kumitat Konġunt ma ħax deċiżjoni fi żmien 30 jum wara li l-affari kienet riferita lilu, il-Parti Kontraenti esportatriċi hija awtorizzata li tapplika temporanjament miżuri approprjati fuq l-esportazzjoni tal-prodott konċernat.

(d) Dwar l-Artikolu 25, konsultazzjoni fil-Kumitat Konġunt għandha sseħħ qabel ma l-Parti Kontraenti konċernata tieħu l-miżuri approprjati.

(e) Fejn ċirkostanzi eċċezzjonali li jeħtieġu azzjoni immedjata jagħmlu impossibbli eżaminazzjoni minn qabel, il-Parti Kontraenti konċernata tista', fis-sitwazzjonijiet speċifikati fl-Artikoli 24, 24a, 25 u 26 u anke fil-każ li għajnuniet għall-esportazzjoni jkollhom inċidenza diretta u immedjata fuq il-kummerċ, japplikaw minnufih il-miżuri prekawzjonali strettament neċessarji sabiex jirranġaw is-sitwazzjoni.

Imports to which the tariff treatment provided for in Articles 1 and 2 applies, except unwrought lead other than bullion lead (falling within subheading No 78.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff), shall be subjected to annual indicative ceilings above which the customs duties applicable in respect of third countries may be reintroduced in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Taking into account the Community's right to suspend application of ceilings for certain products, the ceilings fixed for 1973 are shown in Annex B. These ceilings are calculated on the assumption that the Community as originally constituted and Ireland shall make the first tariff reduction on 1 April 1973. For 1974 the level of the ceilings shall correspond to that applied in 1973 readjusted on an annual basis for the Community and raised by 5 %. From 1 January 1975 the level of the ceilings shall be raised annually by 5 %. For products covered by this Protocol but not included in Annex B, the Community reserves the right to introduce ceilings of which the level will be equal to the average amount of imports into the Community over the last four years for which statistics are available, increased by 5 %; for the following years, the levels of these ceilings shall be raised annually by 5 %.

(b) Should, for two successive years, imports of a product subject to a ceiling be less than 90 % of the level fixed, the Community shall suspend the application of this ceiling.

(c) In the event of short-term economic difficulties, the Community reserves the right, after consultation within the Joint Committee, to maintain for a year the level fixed for the preceding year.

(d) On 1 December each year the Community shall notify the Joint Committee of the list of products subject to ceilings in the following year and of the levels of the ceilings.

(e) Imports under the tariff quotas opened in accordance with Article 1 (4) shall also be set off against the ceiling levels fixed for the same products.

(f) Notwithstanding Article 3 of the Agreement and Articles 1 and 2 of this Protocol, when a ceiling fixed for imports of a product covered by this Protocol is reached, Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of the product in question may be reimposed until the end of the calendar year. In this event, prior to 1 July 1977: (i) Denmark ►M12 ————— ◄ and the United Kingdom shall reimpose customs duties as follows:



Years Percentage of Common Customs Tariff duties applicable 1973 0 1974 40 1975 60 1976 80 (ii) Ireland shall reimpose customs duties applicable to third countries. The customs duties specified in Articles 1 and 2 of this Protocol shall be reintroduced on 1 January of the following year.

(g) After 1 July 1977 the Contracting Parties shall examine within the Joint Committee the possibility of revising the percentage by which the levels of ceilings are raised, having regard to the trend of consumption and imports in the Community and to experience gained in applying this Article.

(h) The ceilings shall be abolished at the end of the tariff dismantling periods provided for in Articles 1 and 2 of this Protocol.

Article 4

1. The community as originally constituted shall retain until 31 December 1975 a minimum rate of customs duties on imports of the following products:

2. Fejn Parti Kontraenti tkun għamlet sejba, abbażi ta' informazzjoni oġġettiva ta' nuqqas ta' provvediment ta' kooperazzjoni amministrattiva u/jew ta' irregolaritajiet jew frodi taħt dan il-Protokoll, il-Parti Kontraenti kkonċernata tista' tissospendi temporanjament it-trattatment preferenzjali relevanti tal-prodott(i) kkonċernati bi qbil ma' dan l-Anness.

3. Għal l-għan ta' dan l-Appendiċi, nuqqas ta' provvediment ta' kooperazzjoni amministrattiva għandu jfisser inter alia: (a) nuqqas repetut ta' rispett ta' l-obbligi li jiġi vverifikat l-istatus ta' oriġini tal-prodott(i) ikkonċernati; (b) rifjutar repetut jew ittardjar mhux xieraq fl-eżekuzzjoni u/jew komunikazzjoni tar-riżultati ta' verifika sussegwenti tal-prova ta' oriġini; (c) rifjutar repetut jew ittardjar mhux xieraq fil-kisba ta' l-awtorizzazzjoni sabiex jiġu esegwiti missjonijiet ta' kooperazzjoni amministrattiva sabiex tiġi vverifikata l-awtentiċità tad-dokumenti jew preċiżjoni ta' l-informazzjoni relevanti għall-għotja tat-trattament preferenzjali in kwistjoni. Għall-iskop ta' dan l-Appendiċi, is-sejba ta' irregolaritajiet jew frodi tista' ssir, inter alia, fejn ikun hemm żieda mgħaġġla, mingħajr spjegazzjoni sodisfaċenti, fl-importazzjoni ta' oġġetti li jeċċedu l-livell ta' produzzjoni tas-soltu u l-kapaċità ta' l-esportazzjoni tal-Parti Kontraenti l-oħra li hija marbuta ma' l-informazzjoni oġġettiva li tirrigwarda l-irregolaritajiet jew il-frodi.

4. L-applikazzjoni ta' sospensjoni temporanja għandha tkun soġġetta għall-kondizzjonijiet li jmiss: (a) Il-Parti Kontraenti li tkun għamlet sejba, abbażi ta' informazzjoni oġġettiva, ta' nuqqas ta' provvediment ta' kooperazzjoni amministrattiva u/jew ta' irregolaritajiet jew frodi fid-dwana jew kwistjonijiet relatati għandha, mingħajr telf ta' żmien tinnotifika lill-Kumitat Konġunt bis-sejba tagħha, flimkien ma' l-informazzjoni oġġettiva u tidħol f'konsultazzjonijiet fi ħdan il-Kumitat Konġunt, abbażi ta' l-informazzjoni relevanti kollha u s-sejbiet oġġettivi, bil-ħsieb li tintlaħaq soluzzjoni aċċettabli għaż-żewġ Partijiet Kontraenti. (b) Fejn il-Partijiet Kontraenti jkunu daħlu f'konsultazzjonijiet fi ħdan il-Kumitat Konġunt bħal ma kien imsemmi hawn fuq u naqsu milli jaqblu fuq soluzzjoni aċċettabbli fi żmien tliet xhur wara n-notifika, il-Parti Kontraenti kkonċernata tista' tissospendi temporanjament it-trattament preferenzjali rilevanti tal-prodott(i) konċernat(i). Sospenjoni temporanja għandha tiġi nnotifikata lill-Kumitat Konġunt mingħajr telf ta' żmien. (c) Sospensjonijiet temporanji taħt dan l-Appendiċi għandhom ikunu limitati għal dak li huwa meħtieġ sabiex jiġu protetti l-interessi finanzjarji tal-Parti Kontraenti kkonċernata. M'għandhomx jeċċedu l-perjodu ta' sitt xhur, li jista' jiġi rrinovat. Sospensjonijiet temporanji għandhom jiġu nnotifikati immedjatament wara l-adozzjoni tagħhom lil-Kumitat Konġunt. Għandhom ikunu soġġetti għal konsultazzjonijiet regolari fi ħdan il-Kumitat Konġunt, b'mod partikolari bil-ħsieb li jintemmu malli l-kundizzjonijiet għall-applikazzjoni tagħhom ma jibqgħux jingħataw.

5. Fl-istess waqt tan-notifika lill-Kumitat Konġunt taħt il-paragrafu 4(a) ta' dan l-Appendiċi, il-Parti Kontraenti kkonċernata għandha tippubblika notifika lill-importaturi fil-Ġurnal Uffiċjali. In-notifika lill-importaturi għandha tindika għall-prodott ikkonċernat li hemm sejba, abbażi ta' informazzjoni oġġettiva, ta' nuqqas ta' provvediment ta' kooperazzjoni amministrattiva u/jew irregolaritajiet jew frodi.
