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 Article 15 (3) (a) of the Convention between the European Economic Community, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland, the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Swiss Confederation on a common transit  procedure (1) empowers the joint committee established by the Convention to adopt by decision amendments to the Appendices;
Whereas the joint committee has decided to amend Appendices I and II to the Convention to take account of recent changes to the Community transit rules which will have the effect of:
- abolishing the requirement to produce a transit advice not at internal frontiers,
- defining the responsibilities of the railways for combined road-rail transport operations, and
- allowing commercial documents to be used to establish the Community status of goods;
Whereas those amendments were the subject of Decision No 1/90 of the joint committee; whereas it is necessary to apply that Decision in the Community,
