In Articles 6 and 16 of Protocol No . 1 concerning the definition of the con­
cept of "originating products " and methods of administrative cooperation to
the second ACP-EEC Convention , the amounts for determining when forms EUR . 2
may be used instead of movement certificates EUR.l or when no documentary
evidence of origin is required respectively are laid down .
The base date taken for determining the equivalent value of the airounLs
concerned in the national currencies of the Member States is automatically
changed every two years and this equivalent value will next be fixed on
the basis of the value taken on 1st October 1980 in accordance with the
provisions of Protocol No . 1 .
As the equivalent values of these amounts in some of the national currencies
on the 1st October 1980 are reduced compared to their value on the 30th
June 1978 , the effective value limits in the national currencies concerned
corresponding to the amounts laid down in Article 6 and Article 16 of
Protocol No . 1 are accordingly also reduced .
Article 6 of Protocol No . 1 provides that such a reduction of the value of
the limits as expressed in the currency of any Member State should be avoided
and it is therefore necessary to increase the amounts concerned .              ^
