THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN OCMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economio Community,
and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Whereas an Agreement on trade in industrial products between the European
Economic Osnimunity and the Czechoslovak Social 1st Republic, hereinafter
referred to as the "Agreement", was signed in Brussels on 19 December 1988;1

Whereas Annexes I, II and III A to that Agreement contain lists of
products identified and classified according to the 1987 NTMKXE
nomenclature; whereas, in the exchange of letters concerning the Combined
Nomenclature, also annexed to the Agreement, the Community undertakes to
modify the NIMEXE nomenclature, replacing it with the Combined
Nomenclature (CN) codes; whereas Annex III B to the Agreement already
identifies products according to the Combined Nomenclature, although for
practical reasons all the annexes to the Agreement should be reproduced
together;

Whereas, under Article 4 of the Agreement, the Connnunity undertakes to
eliminate quantitative restrictions on imports of certain products into

1 OJ NO L 88, 31. 3. 1989, p. 1. - 2 -

certain regions of the Community, as listed in Annex II to the Agreement;
whereas, moreover, under Article 5 of the Agreement, the Community
undertakes to suspend the application of quantitative restrictions on
imports into regions of the Community of certain products, as listed in
Annex III, on the terms and conditions specified therein; whereas, under
Commission Decisions Nos C(88)1478 of 27 July 19881 and 0(88)2245 of
28 November 19882 the Community has already adopted both the measures
referred to in Annex III B to the Agreement and some of the measures
referred to in Annex II A to the Agreement; whereas the quantitative
restrictions on imports of the other products listed in Annex II A
(reproduced as Annex IV to this Regulation) should therefore be abolished;

Whereas this will mean that imports into the Community of any of the

restrictions; whereas these products can therefore be covered by Council
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82 on common rules for imports from State-trading
countries,3

IMPACT DE LA PROPOSITION SUR LES P. M. E. ET SUR LE MARCHE DE L'EMPLOI

La suppression des restrictions quantitatives, au niveau communautaire et

au niveau régional, que la Communauté s'était engagée à éliminer vis-è-vis

de la Tchécoslovaquie au titre des articles 4 et 5 de l'accord avec ce pays

a une portée assez limitée. De ce fait, on estime que la présente

proposition n'est pas susceptible d'avoir un impact économique appréciable

PROTOCOL TO THE CONVENTION ON THE ELABORATION OF A EUROPEAN PHARMACOPOEIA

Preamble

THE MEMBER STATES OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE which are Parties to the Convention on the Elaboration of a European Pharmacopoeia of 22 July 1964 drawn up within the Council of Europe's Partial Agreement in the Social and Public Health Field, hereinafter called ‘the Convention’. Having regard to the Convention and particularly to the provisions of Article 1 thereof,
Considering that the European Economic Community has adopted rules particularly in the form of directives which apply to the matters covered by the Convention and that it is competent in this field;
Considering therefore that, for the purpose of implementing Article 1 of the Convention, it is necessary for the European Economic Community to be able to become a Party to the Convention;
Considering that, to that end, it is necessary to amend certain provisions of the Convention,
HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
The term ‘national delegations’ in Articles 3 and 5 (1) of the Convention shall be replaced by the word ‘delegations’. Article 2
The following text shall replace Article 5 (3) of the Convention:

‘3. The Commission shall elect a Chairman from among its members by secret ballot, by a two-thirds majority of the votes of the delegations. The term of office of the Chairman and the conditions governing his re-election shall be laid down in the Rules of Procedure of the Commission. While he holds office, the Chairman shall not be a member of any delegation. ’

Article 3
The following text shall replace Article 7 of the Convention:

‘1. Each of the national delegations shall be entitled to one vote. 2. On all technical matters, including the order in which the monographs referred to in Article 6 are to be prepared, decisions of the Commission shall be taken by a unanimous vote of national delegations casting votes and a majority of the national delegations entitled to sit on the Commission. 3. All other decisions of the Commission shall be taken by a three-quarters majority of the votes cast. For these decisions, from the time of entry into force of the Convention in respect of the European Economic Community, the latter's delegation shall vote in place of its Member States' delegations. It shall have a number of votes equal to the number of its Member States' delegations. However, should a Contracting Party alone possess the required majority, the Contracting Parties undertake to renegotiate the voting modalities no sooner than five years after the entry into force of the Protocol, at the request of one of them addressed to the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe. ’

Article 4
The following text shall be inserted in Article 10 of the Convention, as paragraph 3:

‘3. The conditions of any financial participation by the European Economic Community shall be determined by agreement between the Contracting Parties. ’

Article 5
1. A new paragraph 3 shall be inserted in Article 12 of the Convention, worded as follows:

‘3. The European Economic Community may accede to the present Convention. ’

2. The former paragraph 3 of Article 12 of the Convention shall be renumbered as paragraph 4 of the same Article. Article 6
A new paragraph 4 shall be inserted in Article 13 of the Convention, worded as follows:

‘4. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above shall apply mutatis mutandis to the European Economic Community. ’

Article 7
1. This Protocol shall be open for signature by the Member States of the Council of Europe having signed or acceded to the Convention which may express their consent to be bound by:

(a)

signature without reservation as to ratification, acceptance or approval; or

(b)

signature subject to ratification, acceptance or approval, followed by ratification, acceptance or approval. 2. No Member State of the Council of Europe shall sign without reservation as to ratification, acceptance or approval, or deposit an instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval, unless it is already or becomes simultaneously Party to the Convention. 3. Any State not a member of the Council of Europe which has acceded to the Convention may also accede to this Protocol. 4. Instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession shall be deposited with the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe. Article 8
This Protocol shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of one month after the date on which all Parties to the Convention have expressed their consent to be bound by the Protocol in accordance with the provisions of Article 7. Article 9
The Secretary-General of the Council of Europe shall notify the Member States of the Council, any other Contracting State to the Convention and the European Economic Community of:

(a)

any signature;

(b)

the deposit of any instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession;

(c)

any date of entry into force of this Protocol in accordance with Article 8;

(d)

any other act, notification or communication relating to this Protocol. In witness whereof the undersigned, being duly authorized thereto, have signed this Protocol. Done at Strasbourg, the 16th day of November 1989, in English and in French, both texts being equally authentic, in a single copy which shall be deposited in the archives of the Council of Europe. The Secretary-General of the Council of Europe shall transmit certified copies to each Member State of the Council of Europe, to any other Contracting State to the Convention and to the European Economic Community

6. The Commission has been able to accept the following amendments
Involving improvements to the wording:
(a) the first amendment, which adds the words "not ieast" to the
fifth recital;

(b) the second amendment, which, in the sixth recital, stresses
the possibility of comparing the economic and social influence
of a branch with that of a subsidiary company;

(c) the fourth amendment, which refers in Article 3 not only to
the auditing and disclosure of accounting documents, but also to
their being drawn up In accordance with the various accounting
direct ives. (d) the third and the fifth amendments which refer to the
existence of other branches In the same Member State. 7. The Commission has rejected the sixth, seventh and eighth

amendments. As for the branches of third-country companies, the Member
information since the
States may still request additional
Directive's provision on that matter is of a minimal nature. This is the reason for the rejection of the sixth amendment,
which would allow the Member State to demand the signature of
certain persons having power of representation. The seventh amendment aims to enable the Member States, in the
case of the non-compliance or non-equivalence of the accounts of
a third-country company, to require not only the drawing up and
disclosure of accounts limited to the branch's activity but also
their audit. However, no equivalent requirement exists in the
comparable rules concerning the branches of third-country credit
institutions (Directive 88/117/EEC, Article 3 ). It would seem
indefensible to impose stricter requirements on the branches of
industrial and commercial companies. Under the eighth amendment, where the accounting documents of
third-country companies do not fully comply in every detail with
the directives, despite being equivalent in principle, all
differences would have to be expressly indicated at the time of
disclosure. Moreover, the fact that they have not been audited
would also have to be stated. The Commission considers that the
equivalence criterion was introduced specifically to avoid
Insisting on absolute conformity with the accounting directives. A substantial comparability of accounting documents was more
what It had In mind. As for the question of auditing, it is easy
to tell when accounts have not been audited by the mere fact
that they do not bear any Indication to that effect. 4 -

Brussels, 15 November 1989

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)

modifying the amounts expressed

in ecus in Regulation (EEC) Mo 1135/88 concerning the definition of the

concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative

coopertion in trade between the customs territory of the

Community, Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The preferential tariff treatment accorded to trade between the customs

territory of the Community and the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla is

subject to the presentation of an EUR. 1 movement certificate. However,

Articles 6 and 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1135/88(1) provide for a

derogation from this principle where a certain limited value expressed in

ecus is not exceeded. At present, therefore, an importer's declaration of

origin on the invoice is sufficient for goods whose value does not exceed 310

ECU. Lastly, documentary evidence is not required for travellers' personal

luggage whose value does not exceed 880 ECU. Under Article 6 the Value applicable to the ecu, based on its value on a

specific date, is frozen for two years. This reference date is changed

automatically every two years. In the Member States with the strongest currencies, this automatic change

entails a reduction in the national currency equivalent of the limits

expressed in ecus. The amounts expressed in ecus must therefore be increased so as to maintain

their real value expressed in the national currency, in order that the

benefits of the administrative simplicfications linked to these amounts are

not diminished. To take account of the above, the proposed draft Council Regulation would

raise the limits from 4400 and 310 ECU to 4800 and 340 ECU respectively. 1 OJ NO L 114, 2. 5. 1988, p. 1

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Protugal, and in

particular Article 9 of Protocol No 2 thereto,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Articles 6 and 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1135/88(1) contain

amounts expressed in ecus,

Whereas the amounts equivalent to the ecu in certain national currencies

applying on 3 October 1988 were below the corresponding amounts applying on 1

October 1986; whereas, owing to the automatic change in the reference date

laid down in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1135/88, conversion into the

national currencies under consideration would result in a reduction of the

actual limits regarding simplified documentary evidence, referred to in

Articles 6 and 17 of the said Regulation; whereas to avoid such an effect,

the limits expressed in ecus should be raised,

Impact Statement SME

This proposal concerns the biannual revision of value limits expressed in Ecu
for documentary evidence of origin required for a preferential tariff
treatment. It is proposed to increase the amounts expressed in Ecu so as to maintain
their real value expressed in the national currency, in order that the
benefits of the administrative simplification linked to these amounts are not
diminished. Consequently this proposal provides for a minor advantage for SME. ISSN 0254-1475

1. The original proposal for a Council Directive on a Solvency ratio for

Credit Institutions was submitted by the Commission to the Council on
27 April 19881>. 2. The Economic and Social Committee delivered its opinion2) on 27 October
1988 and the European Parliament delivered its opinion3) on 15 March

1989. 3. Pursuant to Article 149(3) of the Treaty, the Commission submitted an
amended proposal4) which largely took account of the proposed

amendments. 4. On 24 July 1989 the Council unanimously agreed on a common position5)
on which the Council has delivered its reasons6) and the Commission its
observâtions7^. 5. The European Parliament had its second reeding on 25 October 1989 under

6. The two first amendments adopted by the European Parliament concern the

question of comito logy and they propose to use the management
committee, procedure 11 B of the Council's decision of 13 July 19879). The Parliament rejected Art. 9(2) of the Council's common position in

which

the Council

suggested

the use of

regularoty

committee

procedure III B. 7. The Commission thought it appropriate to propose in all the banking

directives the procedure of regulatory committee, procedure I MA of the

Council's decision of 13 July 1967. This procedure gives the Commission

ail the powers it needs and it is the only adequate procedure talcing

into account the nature of the measures which will have to be taken. In

the banking field, the implementing powers will not be used for a day-

to-day management, as it is the case in other sectors (e. g. agriculture)

where the management committee procedure is appropriate. 8. This is the reason why the Commission, although it welcomes the decision

of the European Parliament to reject the position of the Council on

Comitology, prefers to persist in its reexamined proposal and vigorously

defend the regulatory committee version M I A. 9. The third amendment adopted by the European Parliament proposes to

prolong by five years and until 2001 the special derogation in Article

11(4) which grants credit institutions the right to apply a 50%

weighting on loans backed by mortgage on commercial properties. The

Parliament argues that for reasons of competition this derogation should

have the same length of time as the derogation in Article 11(5). The

Commission can not accept this amendment for the reason that the latter

derogation is a general one which all Member States can apply whereas

the derogation in Article 11(4) only is included in order to help three

Member States with specific problems. 10 The last amendment is a textual improvement of Article 11(5) which the

Commission is prepared to accept. Ô) ÔJ Na L 1Ô7 of 18. 7. 1987, p. 33

PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) AMENDING REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 430/87 CONCERNING THE IMPORT ARRANGEMENTS APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTS FAILING WITHIN CN CODES 0714 10 10, 0714 10 90 AND 0714 90 10 AND ORIGINATING IN CERTAIN THIRD COUNTRIES

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

COM (89) 565 final

Brussels, 14 November 1989

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)

amending Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 concerning the import
arrangements applicable to products failing within CN codes 0714 10 10,
0714 10 90 and 0714 90 10 and originating in certain third countries

(presented by the Coaaission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

I. The agreements on imports of manioc and similar products signed by the
Community in 1982 with Indonesia and Brazil at the conclusion of
negotiations conducted pursuant to Article XXVIII of the GATT, were
renewed for three years in 1986. As the Contracting Parties concerned
did not denounce the agreements within the time limits laid down, it has
meant that they will be renewed automatically on I January 1990 for a
further three-year period. These agreements relate to an import levy subject to a ceiling of 6X
ad yajorem on given quantities. Council Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 of 9 February 1987, which constitutes
the legal basis for the detailed rules adopted by the Commission for the
administration of the quotas and specifies the quantities of products
originating in countries which are Contracting Parties to the GATT and
which benefit under the abovementioned arrangements should accordingly be
amended. The amendment does not relate to products originating in Thailand. As
Thailand, which exports these products, was not a Contracting Party to
the GATT In 1982, it concluded a separate agreement with the Community
which was extended in 1986 and remains in force until 31 December 1990. II. As regards the non-member countries which are not Contracting Parties to
the GATT, the aim of the Commission proposal is to maintain at the level
existing in 1989 the annual quantity of imports benefiting under the levy
subject to a ceiling of 6% ad valorem. This should cover the same
three-year period 1990-92. However, as regards China, the Commission
proposes to fix this quantity in respect of 1990 only. III. The Commission also proposes, by an amendment to Council Regulation (EEC)
No 1471/88 of 18 May 1988 concerning the arrangements applicable to
imports of sweet potatoes and manioc starch intended for certain uses, to
maintain the quota for sweet potatoes originating in China and intended
for uses other than human consumption at the 1989 level (600 000 tonnes). China will benefit in 1990 from zero-duty import arrangements. The opening of this tariff quota in 1988 stemmed from the arrangement
concluded in October 1986 with China, which provided in particular for
exports of sweet potatoes to the Community from that country to. be
limited to a maximum of 600 000 tonnes per year and for exports of manioc
to be limited to 350 000 tonnes per year. Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No

of
amending Regulation (EEC) No 430/37 concerning the import
arrangements applicable to products failing within CN codes 0714 10 10,
0714 10 90 and 0714 90 10 and originating in certain third countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 of 9 February 1987 (1), as last

amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2411/89 (2), lays down the arrangements

applicable to manioc and similar products originating in certain third

countries which qualify on import into the Community for a levy subject to a

ceiling of 6% ad valorem for 1987, 1988, 1989 and, where applicable, 1990;

Whereas the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and

the Kingdom of Thailand on manioc production, marketing and trade, renewed

pursuant to Decision 86/222/EEC (3), remains in force for successive periods

of four years; whereas the current period terminates at the end of 1990;

Whereas the agreements with Indonesia on the one hand and Brazil (4) and the

other supplier countries which are Contracting Parties to the General

Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which are the result of the

negotiations conducted pursuant to Article XXVIII of that Agreement with a

view to the temporary suspension of the tariff concession granted by the

Community on imports of products falling within former subheading Ô7. 06A of

the Common Customs Tariff remain in force for successive periods of three

years; whereas they authorize the Community to suspend that concession;

whereas the next period runs from 1 January 1990 to 31 December 1992;

(1) 0J No L 43, 13. 2. 1987, p. 9. (2) 0J No L 228, 5. 8. 1989, p. 1. (3) 0J No L 155, 10. 6. 19S6, p. a. (4) 0J No L 219, 28. 7. 1982, pp. DO aud 58. Whereas the Community has undertaken vis-à-vis Contracting Parties of the GATT

to accept imports of certain quantities of the products in question at a levy

subject to a ceiling of 6% ad valorem during the period of suspension of the

existing binding; whereas, pursuant to the most-favoured-nation clause, it

must treat third countries which are not Contracting Parties to the GATT and

which benefit from that clause in the same way; whereas, pursuant to that

undertaking, quantities of imported products originating in countries which

are not Contracting Parties to the GATT which may qualify for a levy subject

to a ceiling of 6X ad valorem shouid r ; fixed at the levels in force for 1989

for imports from China and for those from the other countries not Contracting

Parties to the GATT;

«

Whereas the quantities of products qualifying under the abovementioned

arrangements should be fixed depending on the origin and the tariff

description of the products applying,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 is hereby amended as follows:

1. The title is replaced by the following:

"Council Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 of 9 February 1987 concerning the

import arrangements applicable to certain products covered by CN codes

0714 10 and 0714 90 and originating in certain third countries". 2. Article 1(2) is replaced by the following:

"2. For products covered by CN codes 0714 10 91, 0714 10 99, 0714 90 11

and 0714 90 19 and originating«in the third countries indicated below,

the levy applicable to imports subject to a ceiling of 6% ad valorem

shall be collected in respect only of the following quantities:

(a) Indonesia: 825 000 tonnes a year for 1990, 1991 and 1992;

(b) other countries which are at present Contracting Parties to the

GATT, with the exception of Thailand and Indonesia: 145 590 tonnes

a year for 1990, 1991 and 1992;

(c) China: 350 000 tonnes for 1990;

- 2 000 tonnes a year in the case of products covered by CN codes

0714 10 91 and 0714 90 11. The fact that the quotas referred to in (b) and (d) are used up may

not prevent the release for free circulation, subject to the

collection of the levy to which a ceiling has been applied, of the

products in question originating in the least developed countries

(LLDC) listed in the Annex hereto, within the limit of an overall

quantity of 5 000 tonnes per year. "
