 By letter of 6' July 1978, the Government of the Republic of Kenya forwarded
 to tK6 Commission through its Ambassador in Brussels a request to renew
                                   ■ V .    ..     (1)
 ACP-EEC Council of Ministers Decision No 2 /77        by which Kenya had obtained
 a derogation from the definition of the concept of originating products
 for artificial fishing flies .      The period requested is two years .
 I.    Recap on the situation
       Kenya manufactures artificial flies from hoots imported from third
       countries .  As hooks and flies are classified under the same heading
       in the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature , the final product does
       not have originating status , even though there is considerable value
       added , as there is no change of tariff heading , which is in the order
       of 75% .  At the request of Kenya a derogation for one year was
       given on condition that they sought new sources of supply for hooks
       in the Community .
II .   Request for renewal
       At present , as indicated in their letter of 6 July 1978 , Kenya has
       not found as yet new sources of supply .
III . Opinion of the Services of the Commission
       Even though it has been stated that the derogation given in 1977 is not
       renewable , it is necessary to take into account that it has not been
       possible for Kenya to find in the Community the type of hook used
     . until now .   In addition , it concerns such minimal quantities that
       no disturbance can be feared .
        Consequently , the Commission recommends the annexed Draft Decision
       as well as the draft Regulation to put the Decision into force in
       the Community .
