                 26 March 1973 applying Articles 13 and 14 of the

                                of inward processing .
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAIT C0I2!U1'TITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ;
Having regard to the Council Directive ( l ) of 4 March 1969 » on the harmonisation
of provisions laid down by law , regulation or administrative action in respect of
inward processing , rs last amended by the Act ( 2 ) annexed to the Treaty on the
Accession of new Member States to the European Economic Community and the European
Atomic Energy Community ( 3 ) signed at Brussels on 22 January 1972 , and in
particular Article 28 thereof 5
Whereas the Directive , ( 4 ) applying Articles 13 and 14 of the foresaid Council
Directive , adopted on 26 March 1973 , makes provision in Article 7 for entry into
force not later than six months after its notification !
Whereas the notification took place on 6 April 1973 ?
Whereas for some tine past the Council has been advised of a proposal of the
Commission to modify the Directive of 4 March 19&9 in order to ensure equal
customs consideration for direct importations of products which benefit from
duty freee ad-mission based on the entitlement of the consignee or on the particular
destination of these products on the one hand , end on products obtained in the
Community under inward processing procedures having the same consignee or destination
on the other hand.; whereas this proposal is of particular interest to certain
important Community industrial sectors ;
Whereas the entry into force of the said applying Directive on the date laid
do™ in Article 7 thereof would set up a customs co-operation procedure which ,
if the proposed Directive amending Article 13 of the Directive of 4 March 19^9 were
approved would be rendered ineffective for deliveries , by the authorised processor ,
of products of those industrial sectors under the conditions mentioned above ;
                                                                           ./.

Whereas the state of discussions on the proposed Directive for the amendment
of Article 13 , is such that this amendment cannot be expected in the near
future ;
Whereas the time-limit of six months imposed on the Member States for carrying
out the measures laid down by Application Directive 73/95/EEC , is already
extended to twelve months by the Commission Directive 73/325/EEC of 5 October
1973 ( l ) I whereas the time-limit has been extended until 1st October 1974 by
the Commission Directive No 74/2O4/EEC of 27 March 1974 (2 )5
Whereas for these reasons an extension of this time-limit until 30 September 1975
appears appropriate ;
Whereas , without the favourable opinion of the Inwards Processing Committee ,
the Commission is not in a position to adopt the provisions proposed in this
respect in conformity with the procedure laid down in Article 28 ( 3 ) ( a) of
the above mentioned Council Directive of 4 March 1969 •
