 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In Protocol No. 3 to the EEC-Yugoslavia agreement certain  amounts in
value are fixed to determine when EUR.2 forms should be used in place of
EUR.l certificates and when no proof of origin is required. These amounts
are at present still expressed in European Units of Account (EUA).
Given that since 1 January 1981, the ECU has replaced the EUA in all
sectors in the Community where this unit of account previously applied,
it is now necessary to make certain editorial amendments to those Articles
of Protocol No. 3 to the cooperation agreement containing the term EUA.
This replacement is merely a change to the text rather than a change of
substance as the amounts set out in Articles 6 and 17 of Protocol No. 3
were revised by an autonomous Community act.
 This amendment shall take the form of a decision of the forthcoming
 EEC-Yugoslavia Cooperation Council.
 For      reasons of simplification, the proposal for a Council Regulation
 applying the Cooperation Council Decision when adopted, is annexed.

Whereas in Protocol No. 3 to the Agreement the European unit of account

be used instead of EUR.l movement certificates and when there is no need
to produce proof of origin;

Annex I to Protocol No. 3 contains "explanatory notes" in respect of
certain Articles of this Protocol, including note 6 which explains inter
alia the basis on which customs value referred to in Article 4 should be
defined.
In view of the fact that the Community and Yugoslavia now apply the
agreement regarding the application of Article VII of the General Agreement
on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) which sets up a new system for determining
customs value, Note 6 of Annex I to Protocol No. 3 should accordingly be
amended to take account of the new situation.
This amendment shall be made by a EEC-Yugoslavia Cooperation Council Decision.
For reasons of simplification, the proposal for a Council Regulation applying
the Cooperation Council Decision when adopted, is annexed.
