 In Articles 6 and 16 of Protocol No . 1 concerning the definition of the concept
of " originating products " and methods of administrative cooperation to the
  third ACP-EEC Convention , the amounts for determining when forms EUR . 2 may
be used instead of movement certificates EUR.1 or when no documentary evidence
of origin is required respectively are laid down .
The base date taken for determining the equivalent value of the amounts concerned
in the national currencies of the Member States is automatically changed every
two years and this equivalent value will next be fixed on the basis of the value
taken on 1st October 1986 in accordance with the provisions of Protocol No . 1 .
As the equivalent values of these amounts in some of the national currencies
on the 1st October 1986 are reduced compared to their value on the 1st October
1984 the actual value limits in the national currencies concerned corresponding
to the amounts laid down in Article 6 and Article 16 of Protocol No . 1 are
accordingly also reduced .
Article 6 of Protocol No . 1 provides that a reduction of the value of the
limits as expressed in the currency of any Member State ghould be avoided .
For the reason given above it is also desirable to take account of the drop
in real value of the amounts in Article 6 and Article 16 of Protocol No . 1 .
Therefore it is necessary to increase the amounts concerned accordingly .
