     According to provisions of Articles 109 ( 2 ) and 119 ( 2 ) of the
Act concerning the Conditions of Accession and the Adjustments to the
Treaties , goods originating in the African and Malagasy States , in the
partner States of the Community in East Africa and in the Overseas
Countries and Territories , are subject on importation into the new
Member States to the same treatment as applied to them before accession ,
except in the case where progress to the Common Customs Tariff leads
to a reduction in customs duty in a new Member State .
     If that progress leads to an increase in duty , the treatment applied
to the States , countries and territories in question constitutes a
preferential treatment in derogation from the most-favoured nation
clause .
     Thus , it is necessary to specif » the rules of origin applicable
to the goods covered by this treatment
                                         /
     This is the purpose of this regulation .
