            For the purpose of determining whether goods originate in the Community or in the Arab

            Note 3 — to Article 1 :
            Packaging shall be considered as forming an integral part of the products which it contains.
            Nevertheless, this provision shall not apply to packaging which , is not of the usual type for

           Note 4 — to Article 2 (f) :
            The expression 'their ships' shall apply only in respect of ships :

                board and the majority of the members of these boards are nationals of the countries
                party to the Agreement and of which, whether or not it is with limited liability, at least
                half the capital is owned by those States party to the Agreement by bodies governed by

           — whose officers are all nationals of the Member States or of the Arab Republic of Egypt;

              Regulation No 359/67/EEC, the Community is referring to the arrangements applicable
              to third States at the time of importation of the products in question.

              The Community, having taken note of the Agreements concluded between the Arab
              Republic of Egypt, India and Yugoslavia, waives the most-favoured nation clause
              provided by Article 3 of the Agreement as regards the relations of the Arab Republic of
              Egypt with those countries.
              Declaration by the Community Delegation on the relations of the Arab Republic of
                                             Egypt with developing countries
              The Community confirms the interest it attaches to the steps taken by developing
              countries to extend their economic cooperation, especially in the field of trade.
              In this connection the Community would welcome the negotiation by the Arab Republic
              of Egypt of agreements serving this object, within the framework of GATT and in
              accordance with its rules .
