            Note 1 — Articles 1 and 2
            The terms 'the Community' and 'Egypt' shall also cover the territorial waters of the Member
            States of the Community and of Egypt respectively.
            Vessels operating on the high seas, including factory ships, on which fish caught is worked or
            processed, shall be considered as part of the territory of the State to which they belong provided
            that they satisfy the conditions set out in Explanatory Note 5.
            Note 2 — Article 1
            In order to determine whether goods originate in the Community or in Egypt it shall not be
            necessary to establish whether the power and fuel, plant and equipment, and machines and
            tools used to obtain such goods originate in third countries or not.
            Note 3 — Articles 3 ( 1 ), (2) and 4
            The percentage rule constitutes, where the product obtained appears in List A, a criterion addi­
            tional to that of change of heading for any non-originating product used.
            Note 4 — Article 1
           Packing shall be considered as forming a whole with the goods contained therein. This provision,
           however, shall not apply to packing which is not of the normal type for the article packed,
           and which has intrinsic utilization value, and is of a durable nature, apart from its function as
           packing.
            Note 5 — Article 2 (f)
            The term 'their vessels' shall apply only to vessels :

                managers, chairman of the board, and the majority of the members of such board are
               nationals of the Member States or Egypt and of which, in addition, in the case of partner­
                ships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to the Member States or Egypt
               or to public bodies or nationals of the Member States or of Egypt,
           — of which the captain and officers are all nationals of the Member States or of Egypt,
           — of which at least 75 % of the crew are nationals of the Member States or of Egypt.
           Note 6 — Article 4
           'Ex-works price' shall mean the price paid to the manufacturer in whose undertaking the
           last working or processing is carried out, provided the price includes the value of all the
           products used in manufacture.
           'Customs value' shall be understood as meaning the customs value laid down in the Convention
           concerning the valuation of goods for customs purposes signed in Brussels on 15 December

            Sir,
            In your letter of today's date, you inform me as follows :
                 'I have the honour to inform you as follows :
                 For the implementation of Article 13 of the Agreement, it has been agreed that the
                 following provisions be adopted :

                     sharps and other residues derived from the sifting, milling or working of cereals,
                     falling within subheading 23.02 A of the Common Customs Tariff and
                     originating in Egypt shall be as calculated in accordance with Article 2 of
                      Council Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 of 29 October 1975 on the import and
                     export system for products processed from cereals and from rice, reduced by the
                     amount specified in item 3 below.
                 2. Item 1 shall apply provided that Egypt levies on exports of the products referred
                     to a special charge equal to the amount by which the variable component of the
                      levy is reduced and reflected in the Community import price.
                 3 . The amount by which the variable component of the levy is reduced shall be
                      equal to 60 % of the average of the variable components of the levies in force
                      during the three months preceding the month in which the amount in question is
                     fixed .
                      The amount shall be fixed by the Commission not later than the tenth day of
                     the month preceding the quarter during which the amount shall apply.

                     However, should the entry into force of the Agreement not coincide with the
                     beginning of one of these quarters, the first reduction in the levy shall be
