TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY, PROTOCOL ON MINERAL OILS AND CERTAIN OF THEIR DERIVATIVES  

++++THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES ,  HAVE AGREED upon the following provisions , which shall be annexed to this Treaty :  1 . Each Member State may , for a period of six years after this Treaty enters into force , maintain in regard to other Member States and third countries the customs duties and charges having equivalent effect applied to products falling within headings Nos . 27.09 , 27.10 , 27.11 , 27.12 and ex 27.13 ( paraffin wax , microcrystalline wax , slack wax and scale wax ) of the Brussels Nomenclature on 1 January 1957 or , if lower , on the date when this Treaty enters into force . The duty to be maintained on crude oils shall not , however , be such as to result in an increase of more than 5 per cent in the difference existing on 1 January 1957 between the duties on crude oils and those on the derivatives referred to above . Where no such difference exists , any difference subsequently introduced shall not exceed 5 % of the duty which applied on 1 January 1957 to products falling within heading No . 27.09 . If , before the end of this period of six years , a reduction is made in the customs duties or charges having equivalent effect in respect of products falling within heading No . 27.09 , a corresponding reduction shall be made in any customs duties or charges having equivalent effect imposed on the other products referred to above .  At the end of this period , the duties maintained in accordance with the preceding subparagraph shall be completely abolished in respect of other Member States . At the same time , the common customs tariff shall be applicable to third countries .  2 . Any aids to the production of mineral oils falling within heading No . 27.09 of the Brussels Nomenclature shall , where such aids prove necessary in order to bring the price of crude oils down to the world market price c.i.f . European port of a Member State , be governed by Article 92 ( 3 ) ( c ) of this Treaty . The Commission shall , during the first two stages , make use of the powers provided under Article 93 only to the extent required to prevent such aids being misused .
