In 1998 Protocol 3 to Decision No 1/98 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 25 February 1998 on the trade regime for agricultural products laid down rules of origin which have since been applicable to trade in agricultural products between Turkey and the Community.
For this reason, Decision No 4/72 has become obsolete and in the interests of legal clarity it should be repealed.
The Commission requests the Council to present this draft Decision to the EC-Turkey Association Council.
