     The evolution of manufacturing techniques and international
economic conditions which have occurred for certain products , since
the entry into force of the free trade Agreements concluded between
the Community and the EFTA countries , have brought the need, to ease
the specific rules of origin applying to these products , which are
included in the Lists A and B annexed to Protocol No 5 which is an
integral part of the agreements .
     Because of this , each of the Joint Committees created by these
agreements , has adopted a decision supplementing and amending the
Lists A and B referred to above .
     The reason for the seven proposed regulations annexed is thus
to provide for the application 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 1975-

products and the international economic conditions concerning

of these rules ,
