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. The customs duties referred to in paragraph 1 shall be abolished in two equal stages on 1 January 1976 and 1 July 1977. Notwithstanding Article 5(3) of the Agreement, duties reduced in this way shall be applied, rounded to the second decimal place.

3. The provisions of the Agreement shall apply to products falling within Chapter 91 of the Brussels Nomenclature provided that Switzerland applies the provisions of the Additional Agreement to the 1967 Agreement concerning products of the clock and watch industry between the Swiss Confederation and the European Economic Community and its Member States, signed in Brussels on 20 July 1972.
