Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 15(7) of Protocol No 4 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (1), (‘the Agreement’), as amended by Decision No 1/2012 of the EU-Tunisia Association Council of 20 February 2012 (2), allows drawback or partial exemption from customs duties or taxes with equivalent effect, subject to certain conditions, until 31 December 2012. |

|
(3) |
Protocol No 4 to the Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly. |
