When Regulation ( EEC ) No 3023/ 77 on certain measures to put an end to abuses
resulting from the sale of agricultural products on board ships was adopted ,
a statement was given in the Council minutes indicating that the Council
should review the provisions of the Regulation with particular reference to
the advisability of setting a final time-limit in the Regulation .
The reason for that statement was that the exemptions allowed by Regulation
( EEC ) No 3023/ 77 were derogations from the normal rules concerning exemptions '
from import duties ; these exceptional exemptions Should only apply within
a transitional period .       Indeed#, the practice of these exemptions existed even
before the adoption of Regulation ( EEC ) No 3023/ 77 which by reducing
the quantities admitted for the exemptions should prepare the interested           «
traders for the final abolition ©f the whole system .
Regulation ( EEC ) No 3023/ 77 has now been applied for almost three years which
means that the traders have had a reasonable period for settling such traffic .
Therefore , the purpose of this Regulation ^s to exclude that the Member States
in the future grant exemptions from import duties In respect of products bought
©n board ships not having e©Ued at a p©Pt outside the Cemmunitjv .
