DECISION No 1/85 OF THE EEC-ISRAEL COOPERATION COUNCIL

of 3 October 1985

again amending Articles 6 and 17 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation

THE COOPERATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel, signed in Brussels on 11 May 1985,

Having regard to the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, hereinafter referred to as 'the Protocol', and in particular Article 25 thereof,

Whereas the equivalent value of the ECU in certain national currencies on 1 October 1984 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1982; whereas the automatic change in the base date laid down in Decision No 1/81 of the Cooperation Council would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ECU,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:

1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), '2 000 ECU' is replaced by '2 355 ECU'.

2. In Article 17 (2) '140 ECU' is replaced by '165 ECU' and '400 ECU' by '470 ECU'.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 November 1985.

Done at Brussels, 3 October 1985.

For the Cooperation Council
