COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1544/85
of 4 June 1985
revising the amounts for the documentary requirements in Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation to the Second ACP - EEC Convention
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 485/85 of 26 February 1985 concerning the application of Decision No 2/85 of the ACP-EEC Council of Ministers on transitional measures valid from 1 March 1985 (1),
Having regard to Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation (2) to the Second ACP-EEC Convention, and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 6 (1), point (d) of Protocol 1 provides that the Community may, where necessary revise the amounts for determining when forms EUR 2 may be used instead of movement certificates EUR 1 or when no documentary evidence of origin is required as laid down in Article 16 of the said Protocol; whereas the amounts in question were most recently revised by Regulation (EEC) No 3150/83 (3);
Whereas as a consequence of the automatic change, which takes place every two years, of the base date provided for in the second sentence of Article 6 (1), point (c) of the Protocol, the effective value of the limits expressed in the national currencies concerned, which correspond to the amounts laid down in Articles 6 and 16 of the Protocol, would be reduced; whereas in order to offset such a reduction it is necessary to increase these amounts,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Protocol 1 to the Second ACP-EEC Convention is hereby amended as follows:
- the amount laid down in Article 6 (1), point (b) is hereby increased to 2 355 ECU,
- the amounts laid down in Article 16 (2) are hereby increased to 165 ECU and 470 ECU respectively.
Article 2
Regulation (EEC) No 3150/83 is hereby repealed.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 May 1985.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Luxembourg, 4 June 1985.
