                                EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The proposals for Regulations joint hereto have as their objective
- to establish indicative ceilings to be applied in 1982 for                  *
      imports of certain goods* originating in tone 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
 J          The Agreements? concluded by the EEC with. Austria , Finland t
            Norway and Sweden specially provide, for the phased abolition
  1.V
            of customs* duties , entailing fi?ya reductions each, of 2d $
                       . .          *                          '
            during a transitional period extending until 1 July 1977 ,
    -        Exceptionally, Articles J and 2 of the protocole n* 1
       -■''annexed to these Agreements stipulate that , for- 'a certain
          j number of goods , this abolition of duties is- to be achieved
             by smaller reductions of duties over a transitional period -        ;
    -        ending on 31 December 1 £83 , Furthermore , another provision
             in this Protocol is thaf. 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
             applicable to nomnember countries may be reintroduced ur -il
              the end of the . calendar year ,          • "/ .
             To take account of the accession of Greece these
             agreements and their Protocols NuS . 1 and 2 have been ^mended by
             additional protocols concluded between the Community and each of
          .. these Efta countries .
  2.         Implementation of these- two provisions ;           v
             (a) annual target ceiling^, and
             (b) re introduction of customs duties ,
^ , . implies the adoption of precise common rules to be applied ,
          " uniformly by all Member States , ~ These requirements- -may be      v
,            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 appropriate measures'to
             permit the rapid collection of statis-tical returns at

       CoEntualty levol . In            connectioa it is necessary to take
       into account only- imports of the products in question as and
       when. cL -;y £ re submitted to the customs authorities under the
       co;er of a declaration, -of entry for home use and accompanied
       by a mc-venienc certificate con.formi.rig to the rules contained
       in the Agreement referred to under J above .
       These returns should ha drawn up by each. Jfember State at the
       end of every month, and forwarded hy- the fifteens day of the
       following njc-T.it!*. to the Commission so as to enable the latter
       to coi,saur-i'cate to all the Member States the overall ,
     gaad-fr"'/*~iS©otf retu-n -* for the imports in question in the preceding '
      -month .     TF.e sys-tew of supervision. will require of the responsible
       departments of the ^etaS'er States and the Conzaission diligence
       and close cooperation .
3.     The following system would he adopted for setting in train machi~
       aery to reintroduce duties : if on » c.f the overall monthly
       returns drawn up By tea CoHEni-ssion revealed that 75 % of the
       ceiling fixed for a given good had been reached consultations
       could he held , for example in the Working Party on Economic
       Tariff Problems , either at the request of a "Member State or
       upon the Cossaissioa' s initiative . The aim of these consults–           ;
       'ti ens- would h'e tc exaraiie , case by case , the reintroduce ion or
       rot of tBe levying cf customs- dottles- applicable to non-member
   f
       countries once tbs, target ceiling is- actually reached .
       Monthly re tuns */ould still be made in respect of imports of the
       product in question or , if it is requested by the Commission by
        talex at intervals of ten days-. The set term for the transmission
        ©5 this- last mentioned information is five days .
 ---pagebreak---  As fas as application of the rule on . ceilings and reintroduction -
 of duties is- concerned , the attached proposals make provisions
 for conferring powers- of the Council upon the Commission ,
 The proposed regulations ! do 110 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 efficiency1 and rapidity that the proposed regulations
 lay down that is would be up to the Commission to reintroduce
 in respect of the partner country^ the levying of the duties
applicable to noivmember countries , -          . ' .       V            *
 In these conditions /, the Commission would be able to take ,- within the
 shortest possibly time , measures leading to the reintroduction , by re
 gulation    ' /■ 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
 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 nr . 1 ./                  " w
 However , as long as for a certain product, the "levying of the Customs^
 duties has not yet been introduced at Community level Greece can re­
 introduce this levying as soon as the ^imputations on its territory ',
 have reached the amount fixed by the additional protocol in question .
