Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3860/87 (2) lays down in its Annex II the criteria to be applied as regards certificates of origin; whereas certificates of origin must measure 210 Ă 297 mm;
Whereas the issue of certificates of origin is increasingly computerized, which involves the use of continuous stationery; whereas it has been found impossible to conform precisely to be prescribed measurements;
Whereas it is necessary to avoid obstacles to trade and the risk that a certificate of origin may be rejected on the technicality that its size does not conform to the said measurements; whereas it is necessary to introduce a tolerance of up to minus 5 mm or plus 8 mm in the length,
