                                  Proposal for a
                          REGULATION (EEC) OF THE COUNCIL
                on the procedure for issuing movement certificates
                under the provisions governing trade "between    the

   COM(73 ) 473 final
 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY NOTE
       Movement certificates , provided for by rules governing trade
between the European Economic Community and certain countries , are
issued at the request of the exporter by the customs authorities in
the Community for goods which under the terms of those rules can be
classified as " originating products " of the Community .
       Goods may qualify as " originating products " as a result of
successive processings in several Member States of the Community .
       Therefore a procedure is needed for the exchange of informa­
tion between one Member State and another in order to facilitate the is­
sue of a movement certificate by a Member State for goods coming from
other Member States and exported from the latter in the same state or
after processing .
       This Regulation aims to provide that procedure .

            on the procedure for issuing movement certificates
             under the provisions governing trade between the
            European Economic Community and certain countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
HAVING regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Commu­
nity , and in particular Article 113 thereof ,
HAVING regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
WHEREAS the provisions governing trade between the European Economic
Community and certain countries include measures for the issue by the
customs authorities in the Community of movement certificates ensuring
that the goods to which they relate shall benefit from a preferential
procedure ;
WHEREAS the issue of the said certificates is subject to the conditiqn
that the goods to which they relate are considered as " originating
products " within the meaning of the abovementione;d provisions ;
WHEREAS goods may qualify as " originating products " as a result of
successive treatments in several Member States ;
WHEREAS , therefore , the issue of movement certificate should be facil­
itated when a request thereof is made in a Member State in respect of
goods coming from other Member States and exported from the latter in
the same state or after processing ,

   competent customs office of the Member State when the issue of a cer­

   the exporter either on the commercial invoice relating to the products
   or on a document annexed thereto .
2.      The information certificate ( see specimen in Annex II ) may how­

        The information certificate shall be issued by the competent cus­
toms office of the Member State from which the products were previously
despatched to the Member State in which the issue of the certificate has
been requested . The certificate shall be completed in duplicate . The
original shall be sent to the person concerned and the copy shall be
kept by the issuing office .
                               Article 3
        This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following
