Whereas Article 27 of Protocol No 1 to the Convention , concerning
the definition of the concept of " originating products " and
methods of administrative co-operation , states that derogations
from the rules of origin may be made , in particular to facilitate
the development of existing industries or the creation of new
industries ;
Whereas the ACP States have submitted a request from the
Government of Mauritius for a derogation from the definition
set out in the said Protocol for canned tuna produced by that
State ; whereas a one-year derogation should be sufficient to
satisfy that request ;
Whereas , in accordance with Article 27 of Protocol No 1 , the
Customs Co-operation Committee has adopted a report on the said
request ;
Whereas , in order not to hinder the future development of an
existing industry , the very existence of which is at present
threatened as a result of unforeseen circumstances , a
temporary derogation should be granted from the definition
in the said Protocol ,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS :
                    ! .    Article 1

List A in Annex II to Protocol No 1 , canned tuna manufactured
