 ---pagebreak---           EXPLANATION
          for the propositi n of the Council Regulation
Through a declaration annexed to the Protocol laying down certain
provisions concerning the Agreement EEC-Malta , signed in Brussels
on 4 March 1976 ("Adaptation Protocol "), the Community agreed , for
the application of Article 25 of the Origin Protocol , to examine certain
derogations to the rules of origin in order to possibly allow these
to enter into force on the same date as the above Protocol .
                                                          The Council
of Association will not have the power to adopt any derogations until
the date of the entry into force of the " Adaptation Protocol ", given
that the powers of the Council of Association in this field are granted
in the Origin Protocol annexed to the "Adaptation Protocol "* Consequently
it is necessary to provide for the entry into force of the Council of
Association Decision derogating from the origin rules at that date and
to send to the Council now a proposed Regulation to put the Decision
into application in the Community , so as to be able to do this with
the minimum of delay . .
This is the subject of this draft Council of Association EEC-Malta
Decision and the proposed Council Regulation .
The draft forsees a derogation for reception apparatus of heading
85.15 « No derogation has appeared necessary for the other products men­
tioned in the declaration , given that an enquiry carried out by
the Commission has established that the other products originate
under the rules in force .

 THE COUNCIL OF ASSOCIATION ,
 Having regard to the Agreement creating an association between the
 European Economic Community and the Republic of Malta , signed in
 Valetta on 5 December 1970 ,
Having regard to the Protocol laying down certain provisions concerning
 the Agreement creating an Association between the European Economic
Community and the Republic of Malta , signed in Brussels on k March 1976 ,
and in particular Article 25 of the Protocol concerning the definition
of the concept of "originating products " and methods of administrative
 co-operation ( afterwards called " origin Protocol ") annexed to the above
Protocol and forming an integral part of the Agreement ,
Whereas by the declaration annexed to the Protocol laying down certain
provisions relating to the Agreement EEC-Malta , signed at Brussels on
k      March      1976 , the European Economic Community delcared that ,
for the application of Article 25 of the origin Protocol , it was ready
to examine the Maltese requests for derogations to the origin Protocol
for biscuits of heading 19«08 , embroidery of heading 58 . 10 and radios
of heading 85*15 which are already being exported from Malta to the
Community ; whereas     this examination has been carried out with a
view to allowing the derogations to enter into force on the same date as
the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to the Agreement 5
whereas    this examination has revealed that for the biscuits of heading
19*08 and the embroidery of heading 58 . 10 no derogation is necessary
at present because the products made in Malta satisfy the definition
of the concept of " originating products " laid down in the origin
Protocol ; whereas on the other hand for the radio apparatus of
heading 85 . 15 it is necessary to provide for a derogation from that
definition ,
