                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM ( 1 )
  The proposals for Regulations joint hereto have as their objective
  - to establish indicative ceilings to be applied in 1983 for
     imports of certain goods- originating in t»he EFTA^countries ;
  *■ to attribute to the Commission the competence to reestablish
     customs duties- under certain conditions-:
  «■ to establish, a system of surveillance relating to imports of              ;
 * goods which are or are not subject to ceilings .
'J           The Agreement s~ concluded by thse EEC with. Austria , Finland , ".-j
             Norway and Sweden specially provide for the phased abolition
             of customs- duties , entailing five reductions each, of 2Q J8      :*
             during a transitional period extending until 3 July 1977 ,
             Exceptionally, Articles J and 2 of the Protocole n * J'             '
            'annexed to these Agreement® stipulate that , for- a certain
           i number of goods , this abolition of duties- is< £o be achieved
             by smaller reductions of duties over a, transitional period ■
      •      ending on 31 December 3 9B3 , 'Furthermore , another provision
              in this Protocol is that imports- Of some of t^ese goods . to
             yhich these special tariff arrangements apply} shall be subject
              to indicative ceilings above which the custom? duties

             To take account of the accession of Greece these
             agreements and' their Protocols Nps . 1 and 2 have been amended by-
             additional protocols concluded between the Community ahd each of
          ' these Efta countries .                               •- A

C1 ) The proposed tariff measures will apply in 1983 for the last time .
        According to the provisions of the agreements with the EFTA countries
        the ceilings are to be eliminated at the end of the tariff dismantling
        period - that is 31 December 1983 .

        of duties is concerned , the attached proposals make provisions
        for conferring powers- of the Council upon the Commission ,
       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

   5 . In these conditions , the Commission would be able to take , within the
       shortest possible time , measures leading to the reintroduction , by re-
       gylation     * 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 ^ood under

       fixed by the regulation , putting an end to the reduction of duties
