            DECISION No 1/2009 OF THE EC-EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMON TRANSIT
         
of 31 July 2009
         
amending the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure
(2009/606/EC)


THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

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

Whereas:







(1)


The Convention lays down specific measures, in particular as regards guarantees to be provided, in respect of goods which involve a higher risk of fraud in the course of a transit operation. Annex I to Appendix I to the Convention contains a list of such goods.












(2)


The regular review of the list in Annex I of Appendix I to the Convention, conducted under Article 1 of that Appendix on the basis of information collected from the Contracting Parties, has shown that certain goods which appear on that list are no longer considered to involve a higher risk of fraud. Other products, on the other hand, should be added to the list. It is therefore appropriate to adjust the list accordingly,





HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:



Article 1
Annex I of Appendix I to the Convention is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2009.




Done at Oslo, 31 July 2009.


For the Joint Committee


The President
