THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,

WHEREAS ARTICLE 2 OF THE AGREEMENT ( 1 ) BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL , SIGNED ON 11 MAY 1975 , AND ARTICLES 1 AND 2 OF PROTOCOL 1 ANNEXED THERETO , MAKE PROVISION FOR THE PROGRESSIVE ABOLITION OF CUSTOMS DUTIES IN RESPECT OF THE PRODUCTS TO WHICH THE AGREEMENT APPLIES ; WHEREAS , BY WAY OF DEROGATION FROM THESE ARTICLES , ARTICLE 5 OF THAT PROTOCOL PROVIDES THAT , FOR IMPORTS OF PRODUCTS LISTED IN THAT ARTICLE , THE REDUCTION OF DUTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO CEILINGS ABOVE WHICH THE CUSTOMS DUTIES APPLICABLE TO THIRD COUNTRIES MAY BE REINTRODUCED ; WHEREAS THE CEILINGS TO BE APPLIED IN 1979 SHOULD THEREFORE BE DETERMINED ; WHEREAS THE APPLICATION OF CEILINGS REQUIRES THAT THE COMMUNITY BE REGULARLY INFORMED OF THE TREND OF IMPORTS OF THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION ORIGINATING IN ISRAEL ; WHEREAS IT IS , THEREFORE , DESIRABLE THAT IMPORTS OF THESE PRODUCTS BE SUBJECTED TO A SYSTEM OF SUPERVISION ;

WHEREAS THIS OBJECTIVE MAY BE ACHIEVED BY MEANS OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE BASED ON CHARGING IMPORTS OF THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION AGAINST THE CEILINGS AT COMMUNITY LEVEL , AS AND WHEN THESE PRODUCTS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES UNDER COVER OF DECLARATIONS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR HOME USE ; WHEREAS THIS ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE MUST MAKE PROVISION FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF CUSTOMS DUTIES BEING REINTRODUCED AS SOON AS THE CEILINGS HAVE BEEN REACHED AT COMMUNITY LEVEL ;
