    Decision No 2/97 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 4 June 1997 establishes the list of Community instruments relating to the removal of technical barriers to trade between European Union and Turkey, as required by Article 8(2) of Decision No 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union. This list includes Directive 71/316/EEC of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to common provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control (1).

    2.

    Directive 71/316/EEC makes provision in item 3.1.1.1a of Annex II, for the distinguishing capital letter of the State where the original check is carried out, to be used for the EEC initial verification mark affixed on a measuring instrument and indicating that the latter conforms to the EEC requirements.

    3.

    Directive 71/316/EEC makes provision in item 3.2.1 of Annex II, for the drawings showing the shape, dimensions and outline of the letters for the EEC initial verification marks as laid down in item 3.1 of that Annex.
