In order to further simplify the rules laid down by the Protocol No 3t
annexed to each of the Agreements made with the EFTA countries t each of
the Joint Committees set up by these Agreements has adopted two decisions ^
one modifies Article 23 of Protocol No 3 and the other modifies some
aspects of the rules governing the issue and making out of movement
certificates EUR.1 and forms EUR . 2 .
The reason for the seven proposed Regulations attached is thus to
allow for the putting into force of these Decisions in the Community.
It is proposed that the Council adopts these Regulations in such a
way that they can enter into force on 1 January 1976 » the date upon
which Decision 1/75 modifying Article 23 of Protocol No 3 must enter

THE JOINT COMMITTEE ,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic

referred to as " Protocol No 3 ")» and in particular Article 28
thereof ,
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the present provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 »
 suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No '4/74
 of 2 December 1974 » stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
 drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non-originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in   Austria reduced to 40$ of the basic du^y
Whereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions in
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of the same kind as the
products used ;
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; whereas
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decisions

 ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
the former EFTA countries , only those products referred to in
Article 25 ( 1).of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
customs duty of whatever kind ;
V/hereas in practice it is a result of these provisions that the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement ;
V.hereas this prohibition must continue for as Ions        "the tariff
system , resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof ;
V/hereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is

appropriate in a desire for simplification , to lay down the same

          THE JOINT COMMITTEE ,
          Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic
          Community and the Republic of Finland,              signed in Brussels on
          5 October 197 3»
          Having regard to Protocol No 3 on the definition of ''originating
          products " and methods of administrative co-operation ( hereinafter
          referred to as " Protocol No 3 " )» and in particular Article 28
          thereof ,
                                                                        I
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the present provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 ,
suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No 4/74
of 2 December 1974 , stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non-originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in Finland,   reduced to 40$ of the basic duty ;
Whereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions is
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of the same kind as the
products used ;
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; whereas
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decision ;
                                      /  •

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas , in addition , the present provisions of Article 23 (. 2 ) and
 ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
the former EFTA countries , only those products referred to in
Article 25 0).of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
customs duty of whatever kind ;
'Thereas in practice it is a result of these provisions thnt the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement ;
Whereas this prohibition must continue for as long as the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof ;
Whereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is
appropriate in a desire for simplification , to lay down the same
date for all the products in question ,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic
Community and the Republic of Iceland , signed in Brussels on
22 July 1972 ,
Having regard to Protocol No 3 on the definition of " originating
products " and methods of administrative co-operation ( hereinafter
referred to as " Protocol No 3 " )j and in particular Article 28
thereof ,
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the presrent provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 ,
 suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No 4/74
of 2 December 1974 , stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non- originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in Iceland reduced to 40$ of the basic ct:,t
                    V.
Whereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions to
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of the same kind as the .
products used ;
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; where *?"!
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decision :
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas , in addition , the present provisions of Article 23 ( 2 ) and
 ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
the former EFTA countries , only those products referred to in
Article 25 ( 1).of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
customs duty of whatever kind ;
'Thereas in practice it is a result of these provisions thut the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement ;
V/hereas this prohibition must continue for as long as the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof ;
Whereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is
appropriate in a desire for simplification , to lay down the same
date for all the products in question ,

          the definition of the concept of " originating products "

THE JOINT COMMITTEE ,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic
Community and the Kingdom          of Norway , signed in Brussels on
Ik May 1973 ,
Having regard to Protocol No 3 on the definition of " originating
products " and methods of administrative co-operation ( hereinafter
referred to as " Protocol No 3 "), and in particular Article 28
thereof ,
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the present provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 ,
suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No 4/74
of 2 December 1974 , stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non-originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in Norway   reduced to 40$ of the basic duty ;
V/hereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions is
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of the same kind as the
products used j
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; whereas
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decision :
 ---pagebreak---  Whereas , in addition , the present provisions of Article 23 ( 2 ) and
  ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
 force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
 the former EFTA countries , only those products referred to in
Article 25 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
 customs duty of whatever kind ;
 'Thereas in practice it is a result of these provisions th:v<; the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff'
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement ;
'Thereas this prohibition must continue for as long as the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof ;
Whereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is
appropriate in a de3ire for simplification , to lay down the same
date for all the products in question ,

                            of 2 December 1975
               amending Article 23 of Protocol No 3 concerning
          the definition of the concept of " originating products "
                  and methods of administrative co-operation
THE JOINT COMMITTEE ,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic
Community and the Republic of Portugal signed in Brussels on
22 July 1972 ,
Having regard to Protocol No 3 on the definition of " originating
products " and methods of administrative co-operation ( hereinafter
referred to as " Protocol No 3 " )» and in particular Article 28
thereof .
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the present provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 ,
suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No 4/74
of 2 December 1974 , stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non- originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in Portugal reduced to 40fo of the basic duty
V/hereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions is
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of - the some kind as the
products used ;
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; whereas
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decision ;
 ---pagebreak--- Y/hereas , in addition , the present provisions of Article 23 ( 2 ) and
 ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
the former EI^TA countries , only those products referred to in
Article 25 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
customs duty of whatever kind ;
 ■Thereas in practice it is a result of these provisions that the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff
system resulting from Article 3(1 ) of the Agreement ;
Y/hereas this prohibition must continue for as long as the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof ;
Whereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is
appropriate in a desire' for simplification , to lay down the same
date for all the products in question ,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOV/S :
                                 Article 1
        The text of Article 23 of Protocol No 3 shall be replaced by
the following :

No 2 products of the kind to which the Agreement applies , which
are used in the manufacture of products for which a movement
certificate EUR . 1 or a form EUR . 2 is issued or completed , can
only be the subject of drawback of customs duty or benefit from an
exemption from customs duty of whatever kind when products
originating in the Community , Portugal, or one of the six countries
referred to in Article 2 of this Protocol are concerned .
      Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 1 of Protocol
No 2 , products originating in the Community as originally constitute

Whereas the present provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 ,
suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No 4/ 74
of ? December 1974 , stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non-originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in $weden , reduced to 40# of the basic duty ;
Whereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions in
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of the same kind as the
products used ;
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; whereon
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decision ;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas , in addition , the present provisions of Article 23 ( 2 ) and
 ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
 force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
 the former EFTA countries , only those products referred to in
Article 25 ( 1).of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
 customs duty of whatever kind ;
 Whereas in practice it is a result of these provisions th.v; the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement ;
Whereas this prohibition must continue for as long as the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof ;
Whereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is
appropriate in a desire for simplification , to lay down the same
date for all the products in question ,

THE JOINT COMMITTEE , .
Having regard . to the Agreement between the European Economic
 Community and the Swiss Confederation ,         signed in Brussels on
 22 July 1972 ,
Having regard to Protocol No 3 on the definition of " originating
products " and methods of administrative co-operation ( hereinafter
referred to as " Protocol No 3 "), and in particular Article 28
thereof ,
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the present provisions of Article 23 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 ,
suspended until 31 December 1975 by Joint Committee Decision No 4/74
of 2 December 1974 , stipulate that the prohibition on the benefit of
drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs duty of whatever
kind , for non-originating products used in the manufacture of
originating products , applies as from the date when the duty applic­
able to originating products of the same kind as the products used
was , in the Community or in Switzerland reduced to 40$ of the basic duty
Whereas the reference to a certain level of tariff dismantling in
order to determine the date of application of these provisions io
likely to entail practical difficulties , in particular because of
the differences in tariff systems applicable both to the finished
products and to the originating products of the same kind as the
products used ;
Whereas it is consequently appropriate to provide for a uniform
date of application for the whole of the products concerned ; whorean
that date may be the date of the entry into force of this Decision ;

 ( 3 ), stipulate that , for the application of the tariff system in
force by virtue of Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement , in trade between
the former EPTA countries , only those products referred to . in
Article 25 ( 1 ) of Protocol No 3 may benefit from drawback of
customs duty of whatever kind ;
'Thereas in practice it is a result of these provisions th.v: the
benefit of drawback of customs duty or exemption from customs
duty of whatever kind , is prohibited for products originating
in the Community as originally constituted or in Ireland which are
used in the manufacture of products which may benefit from the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement ;
Y/hereas this prohibition must continue for as long as the tariff
system resulting from Article 3 ( 1 ) of the Agreement is not identical
to that resulting from Article 3 ( 2 ) thereof :
       ν
V/hereas , however , for the majority of the products concerned , this
prohibition will continue only until 30 June 1977 ; whereas it is
