The proposals for Regulations joint hereto have as their objective
- to establish indicative ceilings to be applied in 1981 for
   imports of certain goods- originating in the EFTA""Countries ;
   to attribute to the Commission the competence to reestablish
   customs duties- under certain conditions-;          "
»■ to establish, a system of surveillance relating to imports of
   goods which are or are not subject to ceilings .
                                              /                         -■
J,        The Agreements? concluded by- the EEC with. Austria , -Finland ,
          Norway and Sweden specially provide foi? the phased abolition
          of customs- duties , entailing five reductions each, of 2Q %
          during a transitional period extending until J July 19L77 ,
     . . Exceptionally, Articles J and 2 of the Protocole n * J
   .      annexed to these Agreements stipulate that ? for- a certain
          number of goods , this abolition of duties is- to be achieved
          by smaller reductions of duties over a, transitional period
          ending on 31 December 3583 , Furthermore , another provision
                             Ν   .   *
          in this Protocol is that, imports of some of these goods to
          which these special tariff arrangements apply shall be subject
          to indicative ceilings above which the customs duties
          applicable to non-member countries moajr- be reintroduced ur _il
          the end of the calendar year .
          To take account of the accession of Greece on 1 January 1981 thes
          agreements and their Protocols Nps . 1 and 2 have been amended by
          additional protocols concluded between the Community and each of
          these Efta countries .
2,        Implementation of these two provisions ;
          (a) annual target ceilings , and
          (b) reintroduction of customs- duties ,
        . implies the adoption of precise common rules to be applied
          uniformly by- all 'Member States, * These requirements- -may be
          met by- the -establishment of a Community- system of supervision
          of actual imports from each of the partner countries . To this
          end , the Member States- should take appropriate measures ' to
          permit the rapid collection of statistical returns at       .
 ---pagebreak---   Community level . In this connection it is necessary to take
  into account only- imports of the products in question as and
  when they are submitted to the customs authorities under the •
  cover of a declaration of entry for home use and accompanied .
  by a movement certificate conforming to the rules contained
  in the Agreement referred to \inder J above .
   *                                                                ' •
  These returns should be drawn up by eacH Member State at the
  end of every month, and forwarded by- the fifteens day of the
  following month to the Commission so as to enable the latter
  to communicate by telex to all the Member States the overall ,
good-hy«-good returns for the imports in question in the preceding
 -month . The system of supervision will require of the responsible
  departments of the 'Member States and the Commission diligence
- and close cooperation .
  The following system would be adopted for s-etting in train machi­
  nery to reintroduce duties : if one of the overall monthly
  returns drawn up by- the Commi-ssion revealed that 75 % of the
  ceiling fixed for a given good had been reached f consultations
  could be held , for example in the Working Party on Economic
  Tariff Problems , either at the request of a Member State or
  upon the Commission 's initiative . The aim of these consulta­
  tions would be to examine , case by case , the re introduction or
  not of the levying of customs* duties applicable to non-member
  countries once thE> target ceiling is actually reached .
  Monthly retuns would still be made in respect of imports of the
  product in question or", if it is requested by the Commission by
  telex at intervals of ten days-. The set term for the transmission
  o ? this- last mentioned information is five days .
 ---pagebreak---    As fax1 as application of the rule on. ceilings and reintroduction
   of duties is- concerned , the attached proposals make provisions
■ for conferring powers- of the Council upon the Commission ,
  The proposed regulations do no more than outline how these
  powers are to . be exercised so that , in consultation with the
 Member States , the -machinery to he set" in train may be adapted
 flexibly and rapidly, furthermore , it 'is- likewise with a view
 to maximum efficiency and rapidity that the proposed regulations
 lay down that is- would be up to the Commission to reintroduce
 in respect of the partner country*, the levying of the duties
 applicable to noivmember countries ,                                     -
  In these condi t ions , the Commission would be able to take , Within the
 shortest possible time , measures leading to the reintroduction , by re
 gulation " ^ , of. customs duties in respect of the partner country
 until the end of the calendar year . In 'the above hypothesis , the
 reintroduction of the levying of customs duties on the good under
 consideration would , naturally , be effected within the time-limit
 fixed by the regulation , putting an end to "the reduction of dutier
 provided for in the Protocols nr . 1 .
 However , as long as for a certain product the levying of the ustoms
 duties has not yet been introduced at Community level Greece can re­
 introduce this levying as soon as the imputations on its t titory
 have reached the amountfixed by the additional protocol n question .
   finally , as in the case of analogous agreements whir a were
   adopted for the year 3 93Q , the following statement might
   be recorded in the Council Report on the occasion of .the
   adoption of the mentioned agreement ;

 ---pagebreak---                            COMPLEMENTARY NOTE
       CONCERNING THE FIXATION OF THE LEVEL OF THE CEILING
           FOR UNWROUGHT ALUMINIUM ORIGINATING IN NORWAY
                        ( CEILING ORDER No IN17 )
According to article 4 of Protocol No 1 annexed to the Agreement
                                          »       »
EEC - Norway the ceiling for unwrought aluminium must be increased
for 1981 by 10 % of the 1980 levels . The Community has, however ,
engaged itself by the exchange of letters of 16 April 1973 to
compensate by an increase of the ceiling the loss which could
result for the Norvegian exports by a decline of the Community
impor^s^processing traffic under 120 000 tonnes .
According to an examination of the import figures of the product
in question ( 1977 to 1979 and the first 9 months of 1980 ) it
can be estimated that 1981 the imports under processing traffic ^
will be about 25 000 tonnes . The ceiling in question ( IN 17 )
must consequently be increased by 95 000 tonnes . Its level will
consequently be at 399 662 tonnes instead of 304 662 tonnes .
Economic motivation
The favourable development of aluminium demand in 1979 / 80 ,
especially in Europe and Japan, and at the same time the
insufficient growth of metal production caused a downfall of
stocks to 1 465 000' tonnes ( situation at the end of July 1980 ),
i.e. no more than 44 days production, and also an upward pression
on the prices of the main producers , which rose by 45 % between
December 1979 and August 1980 .
In the Community the two factors stagnating production and growing
demand ( 10 % in 1979 ) resulted in a considerable increase in import
from third countries of raw aluminium (9 % in 1979 , and an expected
35 % increase in 1980 , total imports will probably amount at more
than 1 million t ).

 Whereas Articles 1,2 and 3 of Protocol 1 , annexed to                                       . ^

   timetable for the progressive abolition of customs

   Agreement applies ; whereas                                                    ...                    -
               the imports of these products are limited to
    annual indicative ceilings above which the customs
• duties applicable to third countries may be
    reintroduced ; whereas, however,
    the Community has to suspend the application of
    certain ceilings ; whereas, therefore, the ceilings to be
    applied in 1981 must be established ; whereas in this
    situation it is also necessary that the Commission be
    regularly informed of the trend of the imports of the         ■
    products in question and, in consequence, it is
    necessary to subject these imports to supervision ;
    Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of
    an administrative procedure based on setting off .
    imports of the products in question against the
     indicative ceilings at Community level , as and when
    these products are entered with customs authorities'
     for free circulation ; whereas this administrative
    procedure must make provision for the reintroduction
     of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings have
     been reached at Community level ;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas this administrative procedure requires close
and particularly rapid cooperation between the
Member States and the Commission ; whereas the
latter must, in particular, be able to follow the'
progress of amounts set off against the indicative
ceilings and keep the Member States informed ;
whereas this cooperation must be all the closer since
the Commission must be able to take adequate
measures      to   reintroduce      customs   tariff   duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached ;
Whereas the trend of imports should be followed for
certain products for which, under Article 3 of
Protocol 1 , the Community has suspended the
application of ceilings ; whereas it is therefore
desirable that imports of such products should be
subject to supervision,

Agreement.
Goods shall be set off against the indicative ceiling
only if the movement certificate has been submitted
before    the   date   on  which      customs   duties   are

Commission of imports effected in accordance with
the above rules ; such information shall be supplied

Commission may issue a Regulation reimposing             the
customs duties provided for in Article 3 (f)               of

     the Community has to suspend the application of
     certain ceilings ; whereas, therefore, the ceilings to be
     applied in 1981 must be established ; whereas in this
     situation it is also necessary that the Commission be
     regularly informed of the trend of the imports of the

     necessary to subject these imports to supervision ;

   the Commission must be able to take adequate
   measures     to   reintroduce      customs   tariff   duties

   Whereas the trend of imports should be followed for
   certain products for which, under Article 3 of
   Protocol 1 , the Community has suspended thp

  Agreement.
  Goods shall be set off against the indicative ceiling
  only if the movement certificate has been submitted
• before    the   date   on   which     customs    duties    are
  reimposed.          ,

  subparagraphs.
  The Member States shall periodically inform the
  Commission of imports effected in accordance with
  the above rules ; such information shall be supplied
  under the conditions laid down in paragraph 4.

 such statements for periods of 10 days and forward
 them within five clear days of expiry of the preceding
  10-day period.                                        /

 THE COi INCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
 COMMUNITIES,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the                         .            ■ •
 Europonn Economic 'Community, and in particular
Article 1 1 3 thereof,            -       .
               V.
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an Agreement between the European
 Economic Community and the Kingdom of
Norway (') was signed on 14 May 1973 ; whereas an Additional Protocol
 between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway
 to take account of the accession of the Hellenic Republic to the .
 Community ( 2 ) was signed on                                1980 ;
 Whereas Articles 1 to 4 of Protocol 1 annexed to
  this Agreement make provision for a specific
  timetable for the progressive abolition of customs
  duties in respect of the products to which the
  Agreement applies ; whereas
              the imports of these products are limited to
  annual indicative ceilings above which the customs
  duties applicable to third countries may be
  reintroduced ; whereas, however,
  the Community has to suspend the application of
  certain ceilings ; whereas, therefore, the ceilings to be
  applied in 1981 must be established ; whereas in this
  situation it is also necessary that the Commission be
  regularly informed of the trend of the imports of the
  products in question and, in consequence, it is                       -
  necessary to subject these imports to supervision ;
  Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of
  an administrative procedure based on setting off
. imports of the products in question against the
   indicative ceilings at Community level, as and when
   these products are entered with customs authorities
   for free circulation ; whereas this administrative
   procedure must make provision for the reintroduction
  of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings have
   been reached at Community level ;
  Whereas this administrative procedure requires close
   and particularly rapid cooperation between the
   Member States and the Commission ; whereas the
   latter must, in particular, be able to follow the
   progress of amounts set off against the indicative

 ceilings and keep the Member States informed ;
 whereas this cooperation must be all the closer since
 the Commission must be able to take adequate
 measures     to   reintroduce     customs   tariff   duties
 whenever one of the ceilings has been reached ;
Whereas the trend of imports should be followed for -
certain products for which, under Article 4 of
Protocol 1 , the Community has suspended the
application of ceilings ; whereas it is therefore
desirable that imports of such products should be
subject to supervision,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                          Article 1
1.     From 1 January to 31 December 1981 , imports
of products originating in Norway and indicated in
Annex I shall be subject to indicative ceilings and to
Community supervision.
The description of the products referred to in the
preceding subparagraph , their tariff headings and ■
statistic numbers and the levels of the indicative
ceilings are given in Annex I.
2. Amounts shall be set off against the indicative
ceilings as and when the goods are entered with >
customs     authorities    for    free   circulation    and
accompanied by a movement certificate conforming
to    the  rules   contained    in   Protocol   3   to   the
Agreement.
Goods shall be set off against the indicative ceiling
only if the movement certificate has been submitted
before    the    date  on   which    customs - duties    are
reimposed.
             \
The reaching of a ceiling shall be determined at
Community level on the basis of imports set off .
against it in the manner defined in the preceding
subparagraphs.
The Member States shall periodically inform the
 Commission of imports effected in accordance with
 the above rules ; such information shall be supplied
 under the conditions laid down in paragraph 4.
 ---pagebreak---                                                                                       ANNE X C

          3 . As soon as the ceilings have been reached ,     the
          CommiiMon may issue a Regulation reimposing         the
          customs duties provided for in Article 4 (f)         of
          Protocol I to the Agreement until the end of        the
          calendar year.
           In the case of such a re imposition Greece introduces
           the ^levying of the duties which it applies to third
           countries at the date in question .
           As soon as the imputations against ceilings at its
          territory have reached the arrounts indicated in Annex I
          Greece can reintroduce , until the end of the calendar
          year , the levying of the duties uWr it applies to
          thirc countries at the date in question . It shall notify
          the Commission which shall inform the other Member States
          of this fact . The provisions of paragraphe 2 apply
          mutatis mutandis .
            4.    Member States shall forward to the Commission
            not later than the 15th day of each month statements
            of the amounts set off during the preceding month.
            They shall , if the Commission so requests, make up .
            such statements for periods of 10 days and forward
            them within five clear days of expiry of the preceding
            10-day period.
                                  Article 2
          For the implementation of this Regulation the
          Commission shall take all necessary measures in close
          cooperation with the Member States.
                                  Article 3
          This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January
           1981 .
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in aH Member
States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
 COMMUNITIES,
 Having regard to ' the Treaty establishing the
European Economic Community, and in particular
Article 1 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas an Agreement between the European
Economic Community and the Kingdom of
Sweden { ' ) was signed on 22 July 1972 ; whereas an Additional Protocol
between the European Economic Community and the Kirjgdom of Sweden
to take account of the accession of the helLenic Republic to the
Community ( 2 ) was signed on                                    1980 ;
Whereas Articles 1 , 2 and 3 of Protocol 1 annexed to
 this Agreement make provision for a specific .
 timetable for the progressive abolition of customs
 duties in respect of the products to which the
 Agreement applies ; whereas
            the imports of these products are limited to
 annual indicative ceilings above which the customs
 duties applicable to third countries may be
 reintroduced ; whereas , however
 the Community has to suspend the application of
 certain ceilings ; whereas, therefore, the ceilings to be
 applied in 1981 must be established ; whereas in this
 situation it is also necessary that the Commission be
 regularly informed of the trend of the imports of the
 products in question and , in' consequence, it is
 necessary to subject these imports to supervision ;
 Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of
 an administrative procedure based on setting off
 imports of the products in question against the
 indicative ceilings at Community level, as and when
 these products are entered with customs authorities
 for free circulation ; whereas this administrative
 procedure must make provision for the reintroduction
 of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings have
 been reached at Community level ;
 Whereas this administrative procedure requires close
 and particularly rapid cooperation between the
 Member States and the Commission ; whereas the
 latter must, in particular, be able to follow the
 progress of amounts set off againsi the indicative
 ceilings and keep the Member States informed ;
 ( ' ) OJ No I. 300 . 31.12 . 1972, p. 96.
< 2 ) OJ No . L
 ---pagebreak--- whereas this cooperation must be all the closer since
the Commission must be able to take adequate
measures      to    reintroduce     customs    tariff   duties
whenever one of the ceilings has been reached ;
Whereas the trend of imports should be followed for
certain products for which, under Article 3 of
Protocol 1 , the Community has suspended the
application of ceilings ; whereas it is therefore'
desirable that imports of such products should be
subject to supervision,.
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                           Article 1
1 . From 1 January to 31 December 198-], imports
of products originating in Sweden and indicated in

statistic numbers and the levels of the indicative
ceilings are given in Annex I.
2. Amounts shall be set off against the indicative

customs     authorities     for     free   circulation    and
accompanied by a movement certificate conforming
to   the   rules    contained    in    Protocol   3   to   the
Agreement.
Goods shall be set off against the indicative ceiling
only if the movement certificate has been submitted
before    the    date   on   which     customs    duties   are
reimposed.
The reaching of a < ceiling shall be determined at
Community level on the basis of imports set off
against it in the manner defined in the preceding

Commission of imports effected in accordance with'
the above rules ; such information shall be supplied
under the conditions laid down in paragraph 4.

    In the case of such a reimposition Greece introduces the Levying of the
   duties which it applies to third countries at the date in question .
   As soon as the imputations against ceilings at its territory have reached
   the amounts indicated in Annex I Greece can reintroduce , until the end of
   the calencar year -, the levying of the duties wfiich it applies to third
   countries at the date in question . It shall notify the Commission which
