JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/83 of 7 April 1983 further amending Article 8 of Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation

THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972,

Having regard to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas the equivalents of the amounts in ECU in some national currencies, on 1 October 1982, were lower than their equivalents on 1 October 1980 ; whereas this fact, as a result of the automatic change of base date provided for in Decision No 1/78 of the Joint Committee, would lead, on the conversion into the national currencies concerned, to a diminution of the effective limits for simplified documentary requirements ; whereas, in order to avoid this, it is necessary to raise the limits expressed in ECU,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article1¶

Article 8 of Protocol 3 is hereby amended as follows: - in paragraph 1 (b), "2 750 ECU" is replaced by"3 400 ECU",

- in paragraph 3, "190 ECU" is replaced by "240 ECU"and "550 ECU" by "680 ECU".

Article2¶

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 May 1983.

Done at Brussels, 7 April 1983.
