 ---pagebreak---                                  EXPLANATOHÏ MEMORANDUM
The object of the attached proposals for Begulations is the continuation
during 1975 of the system of supervision of Community importations , adopted .
since the entry into force of the EEC/EFTA Agreements .
The only difference between the Regulations at present in forc6 for 197^
and those proposed for 1975 , is in respect of the amounts of the indicative
ceilings which have been increased by 5 # ( 3fcin some cases ) as provided
for in Protocols N° 1 of the Agreements concerned .
A. Agreements between the EEC and the non-applicant EFTA countries
   1 * The Agreements concluded by the EEC with Austria , Finland , Ireland ,
       Norway , Portugal , Sweden and Switzerland specially provide for the phased
       abolition of customs duties , entailing five reductions each of 20 %
       during a transitional period extending until 1 July 1977 * Exceptionally ,
       Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocols n° 1 annexed to these Agreements sti­
       pulate that , for a certain number of products , this abolition of duties
       is to be achieved by smaller reductions of duties over longer transi­
       tional periods .
       Furthermore , another provision in this Protocol is that imports of some
       of these products to which these special tariff arrangements apply shall
                                             h-
       be subject to indicative ceilings above which the customs duties appli­
       cable to non-member countries may be reintroduced until the end of the
                                                                      »
       calendar year .
   2 . Implementation of these two provisions I
       ( a) annual target ceilings , and
       ( b ) reintroduction 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 appro­
       priate measures to permit the rapid collection of statistical returns
                                                      *
       at 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 con­
       forming to the rules contained in the, Agreements referred to under 1
       above .                                                            .../.»•
 ---pagebreak--- These returns would be dravm up by each Member State at the end of every
month and forwarded by the tenth day of the following month to the Com­
mission so as to enable the latter to communicate by telex to all the
Member States the overall , product -by-product returns for the imports
in question in the preceding month * It goes without saying that whatever
procedure is adopted , the system of supervision will require of the
responsible departments of the Member States and the Commission diligence
and close cooperation .
                        i
                                                                      4
The following system would be adopted for setting in train machinery to
reintroduce duties 2 if one of the overall monthly returns drawn
up by the Commission revealed that 75 % of the ceiling fixed for a given
product 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 vipcm the Commission 's initiative . The aim c£ these
consultations would be to examine, case by case, the reintroduction or not
of the levying of customs duties applicable to non-member countries once
the target ceiling i3 actually reached .
Following these constiltation3 , monthly returns would still be made in
respect of imports of the product in question or , if it is so decided ,
the Commission would be notified , for example by telex , of such imports
at intervals of ten days or so . In this way , the Commission would be
able to take , within the shortest possible time , measures leading to the
reintroduction, by regulation, of customs duties in respect of the partner
country until the end of the calendar year . In the above hypothesis , the
reintroduction of the levying of customs duties on the product 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
is concerned , the attached proposals make   pr6visions for conferring powers
of the Council upon the Commission *
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 3 -
    The proposed regulations do no more than outline how 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 rapidly .
    Furthermore , it is likewise with a view to maximum efficiency and rapi­
    dity that the proposed regulations lay down that it would be up to the
    Commission to reintroduce , in respect of the partner country , the
    levying   of the duties applicable to non-member countries .
                                                                     V
B * Agreements between the ECSC and the non-applicant EFTA countries
    In addition to the Agreements between the EEC and the non**applicant
    EFTA countries , Agreements were concluded at the same time between
    the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community and the
    European Coal and Steel Community on the one hand , and those EFTA
    countries on the other hand .
    The above considerations are valid mutatis mutandiB for these Agree­
    ments , the sole difference being that only the Protocols annexed to
    the A greements with Austria and Sweden make provision for the appli­
    cation of indicative    ceilings to certain products and for a possible
    reintroduction of customs duties . Another special feature is that , aB
    far as these ceilings are concerned , Article 2 of each of the Proto­
    cols in question refers to the contents of Annex C to each Protocol
    to the EEC agreements , for there are no special ceilings for ECSC
    products . For reasons of simplification , the EEC and ECSC products
    falling within the one tariff heading in question ( 73*15 ) have been
    placed together under four single ceilings .
C. Finally, as in the oase of        - analogous agreements which were
    adopted for the year 197^» the following statement might be recorded
    in the Council Report on the occasion of the adoption of the mentioned
    agreement i
       "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 4 "

                      the European Economio Community , and in
                      particular Article 113 thereof }
                      Having regard to the proposal from the
                      Commission :
                                                                    »
                      Whereas an Agreement ( l ) between the
                      European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria
                      was signed on 22 July 1972 ;
                                  j
                      Whereas Articles 2 and 3 of that Agreement
                      make provision for the progressive abolition
                      of customs duties in respeot of the products
                      to which the Agreement applies ; whereas by
                      way of derogation from those Articles ,
                      Articles 1 , 2 and 3 of Protocol No 1 annexed
                      to the Agreement lay down that , for imports
                      of certain products listed in Annex C to that
                      Protocol , the reduction of duties shall be
                      limited to indicative ceilings above which
                      the customs duties applicable to third
                      countries may be reintroduced ; whereas
                      application of this last provision requires
                      that the Community be regularly informed of
                      the trend of imports of the produots in
                      question originating in Austria ;
                      whereas it is therefore desirable that imports
                      of these products be subjected to a system
                      of surveillance ;
                      Whereas this objective may be achieved by means
                      of an administrative procedure whereby imports
                      of the products in question are set off against
                      the indicative oeilings at Community level as
                      and when these products are entered with the
                      customs authorities for home use ; whereas this
                      procedure must make provision for the reintro­
                      duction of outoms tariff duties as soon as the
                      ceilings have been reaohed at Community level ;
                                                                           ./ ••

 ---pagebreak---  Whereas the aio.resa.id procedure requires
 closes and particularly rapid cooperation
"between the Member State ? and the Commission
 and whereas the latter must , in particular ,
 be able to keep track of the amounts set off
 against the indicative ceilings and keep the
Member States informed ? whereas this coope­
ration must be all tPis closer in that the
Commission must "be able to take a.decruate
measures to reintroduce customs tariff duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached ;
Whereas , for the products which , in accordanoe
with Articles 2 and 3 of the Agreement , are
subject to the normal timetable for the
abolition of customs duties it is necessary
to follow the trend of imports $ whereas
to this end the Community should 'be empowered

                     THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
                     Having regard to the Treaty establishing
                     the European Economic Community , and in
                     particular Article 113 thereof ;
                     Having regard to the proposal from the
                     Commission ;
                     Whereas an Agreement ( l ) between the
                     European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland
                     was signed on 22 July 1972 ;                    •
                     Whereas Articles 2 and 3 of that Agreement
                     make provision for the progressive abolition
                     of customs duties in respect of the products
                     to which the Agreement applies ; whereas by
                     way of derogation from those Articles ,
                     Articles 1 , 2 and 3 of Protocol No 1 annexed
                     to the Agreement lay down that , for imports
                     of certain products listed in Annex C to that
                     Protocol , the reduction of duties shall be
                     limited to indicative ceilings above which
                     the customs duties applicable to third
                     countries may be reintroduced ; whereas
                     application of this last provision requires
                     that the Community be regularly informed of
                     the trend of imports of the products in
                     question originating in Finland ;
                     whereas it is therefore desirable that imports
                     of these products be subjected to a Bystem
                     of surveillance ;
                     Whereas this objective may be achieved by means
                     of an administrative procedure whereby imports
                     of the products in question are set off against
                     the indicat^-e ceilings at Community level as
                     and when these products are entered with the
                     customs authorities for home use ; whereas this
                     procedure must make provision for the reintro­
                     duction of cutoms tariff duties as soon as the
                     ceilings have been reached at Community level ;
(l ) OJ No L 300, 31.12.1972 , p. 1
 ---pagebreak---  Whereas the aforesaid procedure requires
 close and particularly rapid cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission
and whereas the latter muut , in particular ,
be able to keep track of the amounts set off
against the indicative ceilings and keep the
Member States informed ; whereas this coope­
ration must be all the closer in that the
Commission must be able to take adequate
measures to reintroduce customs tariff duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached }
Whereas , for the products which , in accordance
with Articles 2 and 3 of the Agreement , are
subject to the normal timetable for the
abolition of customs duties it is necessary
to follow the trend of imports | whereas
to this end the Community should be empowered '
to take , where appropriate , measures to avoid
any injury to industry in the Community and

imports of these products also be subjected to

              establishing Community surveillance in respect of imports
                            of certain products originating
                                   in Iceland
                      THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
                      Having regard to the Treaty establishing
                      the European Economic Community , and in
                      particular Article 113 thereof ;
                      Having regard to the proposal from the
                      Commission ;
                      Whereas an Agreement ( l ) between the
                      European Economic Community and the Republio of Ioeland
                      was signed on 22 July 1972 ;
                      Whereas Articles 2 and 3 of that Agreement
                      make provision for the progressive abolition
                      of customs duties in respect of the products
                      to which the LAgreement applies ;  whereas by
                      way of derogation from those Articles ,
                      Articles 1 , 2 and 3 of Protocol No 1 annexed
                      to the Agreement lay down that , for imports
                      of certain products listed in Annex C to that
                      Protocol , the reduction of duties shall be
                      limited to indicative ceilings above which
                      the customs duties applicable to third
                      countries may be reintroduced ; whereas
                      application of this last provision requires
                      that the Community be regularly informed of
                      the trend of imports of the products in
                      question originating in Iceland ;
                      whereas it is therefore desirable that imports
                      of these products be subjected to a system
                      of surveillance ;
                      Whereas this objective may be achieved by means
                      of an administrative procedure whereby imports      '
                      of the products in question are set off against
                      the indicative ceilings at Community level as
                      and when these products are entered with the
                      customs authorities for home use ; whereas this
                      procedure must make provision for the reintro­
                      duction of cutoms tariff duties as soon as the
                      ceilings have been reached at Community level ;

 Whereas the aforesaid procedure requires
 close and particularly rapid cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission
 and whereas the latter must , in particular ,
be able to keep track of the amounts set off
 against the indicative ceilings and keep the
Member States informed ;   whereas this coope­
ration must be all the closer in that the
Commission must be able to take adequate
measures to reintroduce customs, tariff duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached }
Whereas , for the products which, in accordance
with Articles 2 and 3 of the Agreement , are
subject to the normal timetable for the
abolition' of customs duties it is necessary
to follow the trend of imports } whereas
to this end the Community should be empowered
to take ,, where appropriate , measures to avoid
any injury to industry in the Community and
whereas it is therefore    desirable that
imports of these products also be subjected to
a system of surveillance }

                                      of
               establishing Community surveillance in respect of imports
                             of certain products originating
                                    in Norway
      |                 THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
                        Having regard to the Treaty establishing
                       the European Economic Community, and in
                       particular Article 113 thereof ;
                        Having regard to the proposal from the
                       Commission ;
                       Whereas an Agreement ( l ) between the
                       European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway
                       was signed on 22 July 1972 ;
                       Whereas Articles 2 and 3 of that Agreement
                       make provision for the progressive abolition
                       of customs duties in respect of the products
                       to which the Agreement applies ; whereas by
                       way of derogation from those Articles ,
                       Articles 1 , 2 and 3 of Protocol No 1 annexed
                       to the Agreement lay down that , for imports
                       of certain products listed in Annex C to that
                       Protocol , the reduction of duties shall be
                       limited to indicative ceilings above which
                       the customs duties applicable to third
                       countries may be reintroduced ; whereas
                       application of this last provision requires
                       that the Community be regularly informed of
                       the trend of imports of the products in
                       question originating in Norway;
                       whereas it is therefore desirable that imports
                       of these pr^lucts be subjected to a system
                       of surveillance ;
                       Whereas this objective may be achieved by means
                       of an administrative procedure whereby imports
                       of the products in question are set off against
                       the indicative ceilings at Community level as
                       and when these products are entered with the
                       customs authorities for home use ; whereas this
                       procedure must make provision for the reintro­
                       duction of cutoms tariff duties as soon as the
                       ceilingB have been reached at Community level :
( l ) OJ No L 300, 31.12.1972 , p. 1
 ---pagebreak---  Whereas the aforesaid procedure requires
 close and particularly rapid cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission
 and whereas the latter must , in particular ,
be able to keep track of the amounts set off
 against the indicative ceilings and keep the
Member States informed ; whereas this coope­
ration must be all the closer in that the
 Commission must be able to take adequate
measures to reintroduce customs tariff duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached }
Whereas , for the products which, in accordance
with Articles 2 and 3 of the Agreement , are
 subject to the normal timetable for the
 abolition of customs duties it is necessary
to follow the trend of imports ; whereas
to this end the Community should be empowered'
to take , where appropriate , measures to avoid
 any injury to industry in the Community and
whereas it is therefore "desirable that
 imports of these products also be subjected to
 a system of surveillance }

                      THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
                      Having regard to the Treaty establishing
                      the European Economic Community , and in
                      particular Article 113 thereof ;
                      Having regard to the proposal from the
                      Commission :
                      Whercas an Agreement ( l ) between the
                      European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic
                      was signed on 22 July 1972 ;
                      Whereas Articles 2 and 3 of that Agreement
                      make provision for the progressive abolition
                      of customs duties in reGpect of the products
                      to which the Agreement applies ; whereas by
                      way of derogation from those Articles ,
                      Articles 1 , 2 and 3 of Protocol 'No 1 annexed
                      to the Agreement lay down that , for imports
                      of certain products listed in Annex C to that
                      Protocol , the reduction of duties shall be
                      limited to indicative ceilings above which
                      the customs duties applicable to third
                      countries may be reintroduced ; whereas
                      application of this last provision requires
                      that the Community be regularly informed of
                      the trend of imports of the products in
                      question originating in Portugal ;
                      whereas it is therefore desirable that imports
                      of these products be subjected to a system
                      of surveillance ;
                      Whereas this objective may be achieved by means
                      of an administrative procedure whereby imports
                      of the products in question are set off against

                       Protocol , the reduction of duties shall be
                       limited to indicative ceilings above which
                       the customs duties applicable to third
                       countries may be reintroduced ; whereas
                       application of this last provision requires
                       that the Community be regularly informed of
                       the trend of imports of the products in
                       question originating in Switzerland '
                       whereas it is therefore desirable that imports
                       of these products be subjected to a system
                       of surveillance ;
                       Whereas this objective may be achieved by means
                        of an administrative procedure whereby imports
                        of the products in question are set off against
                       the indicative ceilings at Community level as
                        and when these products are entered with the
                        customs authorities for home use ; whereas this
                       procedure must make provision for the reintro­
                       duction of cutoms tariff duties as soon as the
                        ceilings have been reached at Community level }
                                                                             •/..

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the aforesaid procedure requires
close and particularly rapid cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission
and whereas the latter must , in particular ,
be able to keep track of the amounts set off
against the indicative ceilings and keep the
Member States informed ; whereas this coope­
ration must be all the closer in that the
Commission must be able to take adequate
measures to reintroduce customs tariff duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached ;
Whereas,' for the products which, in accordance
with Articles 2 and 3 of the Agreement , are
subject to the normal timetable for the
abolition of customs duties it is necessary
to follow the trend of imports ; whereas
to this end the Community should be empowered'
to take , where appropriate , measures to avoid
any injury to industry in the Community and
whereas it is therefore    desirable that
imports of these products also be subjected to
a system of surveillance }
