THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1), and in particular Article 15(3)(a) thereof,

(2) |
Accordingly, the Czech, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Maltese, Polish, Slovak and Slovenian language versions of the references used in the Convention should be inserted into the Convention in the appropriate order. |
(3) |
In order to take into account all the situations relating to guarantees and guarantee waivers, it is necessary to provide for these situations by means of codification which needs to be alphanumeric owing to the large number of situations to be addressed. |

The application of this Decision should be linked to the date of accession of new Member States to the European Union. |
(6) |
In order to allow the use of guarantee forms printed in accordance with the criteria in force prior to the date of accession of the new Member States to the European Union, a transitional period should be established during which the printed form, with some adaptations, may be used. |

The Convention should accordingly be amended, |
