 ---pagebreak---                              EXPLANATORY NOTE
      Each of the Joint Committees instituted under each of the agree - -
 ments EEC - EFTA has adopted or is in course of adopting two decisions
 concerning customs procedures in the field of the agreements .
      The first decision adapts Protocol No 3 annexed to the agreements .
 It concerns , basically , a modification of Article 8 of the Protocol , a
modification which is intended to introduce a simplification to the
 existing procedures concerning accessories and spare parts delivered with
material , a machine , apparatus or a vehicle .
      It should be noted that at the time of the adoption of this decision
the Joint Committees have agreed that it was convenient, to Jwrite the
following declaration into the minutes of the meetipg :
      "It is understood that the provisions of the new paragraph k
       of Article 8 of Protocol No 3 will not preiudice the appli­
       cation of Article 5 ( 3 ) to the material , to the machine , to
       the apparatus or vehicle being considered .
            Additionally , it is equally understood that the provisions
       of the new paragraph k of Article 8 of Protocol No 3 will not
       prejudice the application of paragraph 3 of the same article ."
      The second decision institutes a simplified procedure for the
issue of certificates EUR.1 . This procedure will allow a certain number
of previously agreed exporters to benefit from an easing of the forma­
lities at export , either by virtue of the preauthentifi cation of the
EUS.1 documents by the customs authority or by virtue of the possibility
which may be offered to then of certifying the certificate thenselves
by use of a special stamp .
 ---pagebreak---                               - 2 -
     The reason for the seven proposed regulations annexed is to
allow the putting into application in the Community the two decisions
referred to for each of the agreements .
     In spite of the decisions which have not yet been formally adop­
ted by some of the Joint Committees , the Commission is of the view that
it would not be a good idea to delay , for that reason , the procedure
of adoption by the Council given that , on the one hand , the decisions
are identical for each of the agreements and that , on the other hand ,
it concerns texts which have already been submitted to the Council
before their presentation to the Joint Committees as the communal
position of the Community .
     Therefore it is proposed that the Council adopt these seven annexed
regulations in such a way that they can come into force at the latest
by 1 September 197^-
