                                Proposal for a
                          COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)

                         EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM
The preferential regime applied to Mediterranean countries for exports to
the Community (exemption from customs duties etc^ maintaining, however, the
agricultural levies) has been extended to the territories occupied by
Israel, by Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86.
This Regulation did not, however, Include the usual clause whereby the
levies (variable component of the customs charge) are also maintained for
non-Annex II processed agricultural products, governed by Regulation (EEC)
No 3033/80.
This proposal corrects this anomaly by aligning the regime for the occupied
territories on that provided In the agreements with the other Mediterranean
countries, by providing that, for the products In question, the exemption
concerns only the fixed component (customs duty) of the customs charge.
                                                                          e

                                                                               of
                                                               amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86
                             on the tariff arrangements applicable to Imports into the Community
                                                      of products originating In the occupied territories
                 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
                 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
                 and in particular Article 113 thereof,
                 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
                 Whereas the coopérâtiorv agreements with the southern and eastern
                 Mediterranean countries provide for free access to the Community for
                   industrial products and preferential tariff treatment for certain
                 agricultural products originating In those countries;
                 Whereas no such preferential treatment applies to products originating in
                  the West Bank of the River Jordan or the Gaza Strip (called the 'occupied
                  territories'), both occupied by Israel;
                 Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86 of 27 October 19861 put an end
                  to this situation; whereas, however, It should be specified that Article 1
                 of that Regulation does not prohibit the charging of a variable component
                 on the goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80,2 as last amended by
                 Regulation (EEC) No 3743/87 of 14 December 1987, 3
                 HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
