DECISION No 1/1999 OF THE EC-TURKEY CUSTOMS COOPERATION COUNCIL

of 28 May 1999

on procedures to facilitate the issue of movement certificates EUR.1 and the making of invoice declarations under the provisions governing preferential trade between the European Union, Turkey and certain European countries

(1999/535/EC)

THE CUSTOMS COOPERATION COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement of 12 September 1963 establishing an association between the EEC and Turkey,

Having regard to Decision No 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union(1), and in particular Articles 16 and 28 thereof,

Whereas both the Community and Turkey have signed preferential agreements with the following European countries: Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia; wheras those agreements provide for preferential status to be accorded not only to products originating in the Community but to those originating in Turkey;

Whereas the legislation giving effect to the Customs Union does not as a rule require a statement of the origin of goods traded between Turkey and the Community; whereas to enable the terms of the abovementioned agreements to apply in full to such goods where they originate in Turkey or the Community, measures should therefore be taken to allow traders to communicate particulars relating to the origin of those goods whenever necessary, so that proof of origin can be made out;

Whereas suppliers of such products should be allowed to furnish proof of origin on the same terms as are laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3351/83 of 14 November 1983 on the procedure to facilitate the issue of movement certificates EUR.1 and the making out of forms EUR.2 under the provisions governing preferential trade between the European Economic Community and certain countries(2),
