 ---pagebreak---                                         EXPLANATORY NOTE
The ACP-EEC Customs Cooperation Committee adopted three decisions
(No 1, 2, 3/85), derogating from the definition of "originating products"
set out in Protocol No 1 of the second Lomé Convention, in favour of
certain products manufactured in Malawi, Kenya, Mauritius and Jamaica.
The derogations were always intended to apply until 2 October 1986
(decision No 1/85 for tufted carpets manufactured in Jamaica), 29 February 1988
(decision No 3/85 for tuna canned in Mauritius) and until the entry into force
of the Lomé III Convention (whose Protocol No 1 introduces a permanent new
rule - decision No 2/85 for fishery items from Malawi, Kenya and Mauritius).
However, as they were based on ACP-EEC Council of Ministers Decision No 2/85
which was scheduled to expire at latest on 28 February 1986, should the Lomé
III Convention have not come into force by then, the three Customs Cooperation
Council Decisions could not apply after this date.
Now, as the AC P-EEC Council of Mi n i s t e r s Decision has been p r o r o g a t e d by an
ACP- EEC Co m m i t t e e of A m b a s s a d o r s Deci sio n (No ), the ex piry date of
the d e r o g a t i o n s can be m o d i f i e d ac cordingly.
