DECISION No 5/97 OF THE EC-EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMON
TRANSIT

of 17 December 1997

relating to the renewal of the ban on the use of the comprehensive guarantee,
made by Decision Nos 1/96 and 2/96 of the Joint Committee

(98/14/EC)

THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1), and
in particular Article 34B of Appendix II thereto (2),

Whereas under the provisions of Article 34B of Appendix II, the use of the compre-
hensive guarantee may be temporarily forbidden at the request of one or more Contract-
ing Parties, with regard of goods which present an exceptional risk of fraud;

Whereas by Decision Nos 1/96 (3) and 2/96 (4), as amended and last renewed by Decision
No 1/97 (5), the EC/EFTA Joint Committee on Common Transit has adopted measures to
temporarily forbid the use of the comprehensive guarantee for the transport of cigarettes
of subheading 2402.20 of the harmonised system and for cetain other sensitive goods,
because of the exceptional risk of fraud affecting those operations;

Whereas the protection of the financial interests at risk in those operations makes it
necessary to maintain the same measures for common transit as for Community transit in
order to ensure maximum effectiveness;

Whereas the Joint Committee considers it necessary to renew the ban in question for a
period of twelve months,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The measures taken by Decision Nos 1/96 and 2/96 of the EC/EFTA Joint Committee on
common transit are renewed for a period of twelve months.

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1998.

TRANSIT

amending Annex VIII to Appendix II of the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a
common transit procedure

of 17 December 1997

(98/13/EC)

THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1), and
in particular Article 15 (3)

(a) thereof,

Whereas Annex VIII to Appendix II of the Convention contains the list of goods which,
when transported, give rise to an increase in the flat-rate guarantee; whereas, for the
purpose of simplifying administrative procedures, it would seem advisable to group to-
gether in a single list, as far as possible, the different lists of sensitive goods which exist
under the Community transit and common transit arrangements; whereas experience has
shown that the only goods which should appear in the Annex in question are those for
which there is evidence of sizeable levels of fraud,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Annex VIII to Appendix II of the Convention is replaced by the text in the Annex to this
Decision.

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 February 1998.
