         DECISION No 1/2013 OF THE EU-EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMON TRANSIT
   of 1 July 2013
   amending the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure
   (2013/510/EU)
   THE EU-EFTA JOINT COMMITEE,
   Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1) and in particular Article 15(3)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Croatia acceded to the Union on 1 July 2013.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Accordingly, the Croatian-language versions of the references used in the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (‘the Convention’) should be moved from the EFTA-countries parts and inserted in the Union Member States parts.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Technical amendments to the Convention need also to be introduced as regards the guarantee forms listed in Appendix III, resulting from Croatia’s accession to the Union.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               In order to allow the use of guarantee forms printed in accordance with the criteria in force prior to the date of accession of Croatia to the Union, a transitional period should be established during which the printed forms, with some adaptations, could continue to be used.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The Convention should therefore be amended accordingly,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Appendix III to the Convention on a common transit procedure is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.
   Article 2
   The forms based on the specimen forms in Annexes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 to Appendix III of the Convention may continue to be used, subject to the necessary geographical adaptations, until the end of the twelfth month following the date of entry into force of this Decision, at the latest.
   Article 3
   This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
