 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The proposals for Regulations joint hereto have as their objective
- to establish indicative ceilings to be applied in 1980 for
    imports of certain goods originating in the EFTA^countries ;
** to attribute to the Commission the competence to reestablish
   customs duties under certain conditions1 }
*- to establish, a system of surveillance relating to imports of
   goods which are or are not subject to ceilings .         '   .
J,      The Agreements' concluded by the EEC with. Austria , Finland f
        Norway and Sweden specially provide for the phased abolition
        of customs* duties , entailing five, reductions each! of 2Q %
        during a transitional period extending until 1 July 1177 ,
        Except ionnally , Articles J and 2 of the Protocole n* J
        annexed to these Agreements stipulate that , for a certain
      . number of goods , this abolition of duties is< to be achieved
        by smaller reductions of duties over a transitional period
        ending on 33 December 19&3 , Furthermore , another provision
 - ' in this Protocol is that imports of some of these goods to
        which these special tariff arrangements apply shall be subject
        to indicative ceilings' above which the customs duties
   •    applicable to non-member countries may be reintroduced until ^
        the end of the calendar year ,
2,      Implementation of these two provisions ;
        (a) annual target ceilings , and
        (b ) re introduction of customs duties ,
        implies the adoption of precise common rules to be applied
        uniformly by all Member States-, These requirements may be
        met by the establishment of a Community system of supervision
        of actual imports from each of the partner countries , To this
        end , the Member States, should take appropriate measures " to
        permit the rapid collection of statistical returns at
 ---pagebreak---  Community level . In this connection it is necessary to take
 into account only imports of the products in question as and
when they are submitted to the customs authorities under the
 cover of a declaration of entry for home use and accompanied
 by a movement certificate conforming to the rules contained
 in the Agreement referred to under -1 above .
 These returns should be drawn up by each Member State at the
  end of every month and forwarded by the fifteens day of the
  following month to the Commission so as to enable the latter
  to communicate by telex to all the Member States the overall ,
good-ky^-good returns* for the imports in question in the preceding
 -month . The system of supervision will require of the responsible
  departments of the -Member States and the Commission diligence
  and close cooperation .
  The following system would be adopted for setting in train machi­
  nery to reintroduce duties : if one of the overall monthly
  returns drawn up by- the Commission revealed that 75 % of the
   ceiling fixed for a given good had been reached ; consultations
   could be held , for example in the Working Party on Economic
   Tariff Problems , either at the request of a Member State or
   upon the Commission 's initiative . The aim of these consulta­
   tions would be to examine , case by case , the ^ introduction or
   not of the levying of customs- duties applicable to non-member
   countries once the target ceiling is. actually reached .
   Monthly retuns would still be made in respect of imports of the
    product in question or , if it is requested by the Commission by
    telex at intervals of ten days-. The set term for the transmission
    of this- la,st mentioned information is five days . In this condi­
    tions , the Commission would be able to take , within the shortest
    possible time , measures leading to the reproduction , by regula­
    tion , of customs duties in respect of the partner country until
     the end of the calendar year , In the above hypothesis , the
 ---pagebreak--- reintroduction of the levying of customs duties on the good
                                     ■»
under consideration would , naturally , be effected within
the time^limit fixed by the regulation , putting an end to the
reduction of duties provided for in the Protocols n® 1 ,
As far. as application of the rule on ceilings and reintroduction
of duties ivs concerned , the attached proposals make provisions
for conferring powers- of the Council upon the Commission ,
The proposed regulations do no more than outline Jhow these
powers are to be exercised so that , in consultation with the
Member States , the machinery to be set in train may be adapted
flexibly and rapidlyv Furthermore , it is likewise with a view
to maximum efficiency- and rapidity that the proposed regulations
lay down that is would be* up to the Commission to reintroduce t
in respect of the partner country, the levying of the duties
applicable to non-Tnember countries ,
Finally , as in the case of analogous agreements ; which were
adopted for the year J 979 , the following statement flffght
be recorded in the Council Report on the occasion of the
adoption of the mentioned agreement :
 La décision de rétablir les droits de douane , pour le reste
de l' année en cours , lorsqu' un plafond est atteint , est prise
à- l' initiative de la Commission ou immédiatement si un Etat
membre le demande ."
