Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3600/85 of 17 December 1985 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1986 to textile products originating in developing countries (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3601/85 of 17 December 1985 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1986 in respect of certain agricultural products originating in developing countries (3), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas Decision 85/553/ECSC of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community, meeting within the Council, of 17 December 1985 applying for 1986 the generalized tariff preferences for certain steel products originating in developing countries (4), stipulates that the definition of the origin of products shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1318/71 (6); whereas the rules to be applied in this connection must be the same as those provided for in respect of the other products;

Whereas trade cooperation has become established between the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba and certain developing countries and territories enjoying generalized tariff preferences, as listed in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3599/85, hereinafter referred to as 'countries enjoying generalized tariff preferences'; whereas under this cooperation products originating in the said countries are imported into the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba and subjected to working insufficient to confer originating status before being forwarded to the European Economic Community; whereas this cooperation would be affected by the application of the provisions on the transport of originating products laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3749/83; whereas the said provisions should therefore be amended so that the originating products in question will be eligible for the tariff preferences on presentation of a Form A certificate of origin issued in the Netherlands Antilles or in Aruba;
