Each Contracting Party shall ensure that the implementation of such agreements does not conflict with the principles of the Agreement on products within the province of the European Coal and Steel Community, and shall in particular take appropriate measures to avoid harming the economy of the other Contracting Party.

1. Da samhandelen mellem de tyske områder, for hvilke forbundsrepublikken Tysklands grundlov gælder, og de tyske områder, på hvilke denne grundlov ikke finder anvendelse, er en del af den tyske indenrigshandel, kræver anvendelsen i Tyskland af aftalen om varer, som henhører under Det europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab ingen ændring af den bestående ordning for denne handel.

3. Hver af de kontraherende parter kan træffe egnede foranstalninger med henblik på at forebygge de vanskeligheder, som kan opstå for denne part som følge af den anden kontraherende parts samhandel med de tyske områder, på hvilke forbundsrepublikken Tysklands grundlov ikke finder anvendelse.

INTERPRETATIVE DECLARATIONS

Interpretative Declaration on Article 25 of the Additional Protocol

It is understood that importations financed:

(a) with special aid resources connected with specific investment projects;

(b) without allocation of foreign currency;

(c) under the law on the promotion of foreign capital investment;

shall not considered to be made under quotas opened in favour of the Community in accordance with Article 25 ofthe Additional Protocol, and in particular paragraphs 4 and 5 thereof.

Interpretative Declaration on the value of the unit of account in the context of Article 3 of the Financial Protocol

The Contracting Parties declare that:

1. The value of the unit of account used to express the amount mentioned in Article 3 of the Financial Protocol shall be 0 88867088 gram of fine gold.

2. The parity of the currency of a Member State of the Community in relation to the unit of account defined in paragraph 1 shall be the relation between the weight of fine gold contained in the unit of account and the weight of fine gold corresponding to the par value of that currency communicated to the International Monetary Fund. If no par value has been communicated, or if exchange rates differing from the par value by a margin exceeding that authorized by the International Monetary Fund are applied to current payments, the weight of fine gold corresponding to the parity of the currency shall be calculated on the basis of the exchange rate for a currency directly or indirectly expressed in and convertible into gold which is applied in the Member State to current payments, on the day of the calculation, and on the basis of the par value communicated to the International Monetary Fund for that convertible currency.

3. The unit of account defined in paragraph 1 shall remain unchanged throughout the period in which the Financial Protocol is in force. If, however, before the end of that period a uniform proportionate change in the par values of all currencies in relation to gold should be decided by the International Monetary Fund under Article IV, Section 7, of its Articles of Agreement, the weight of fine gold contained in the unit of account shall alter in inverse ratio to that change.

If one or more Member States do not apply the decision taken by the International Monetary Fund as referred to in the preceding subparagraph, the weight of fine gold contained in the unit of account shall alter in inverse ratio to the change decided by the International Monetary Fund. The Council of the European Communities shall, however, examine the situation thus created and shall take the necessary measures, acting by a qualified majority, after receiving a proposal from the Commission and the opinion of the Monetary Committee.

BILAG

DE KONTRAHERENDE PARTERS FÆLLES ERKLÆRINGER MED HENSYN TIL TILLÆGSPROTOKOLLEN

1. Fælles erklæring om beregning af told og afgifter

De kontraherende parter er enige om, at told og afgifter med tilsvernde virkning, som told som beregnes i overensstemmeldse med bestmmelserne i tillægsprotokollen, afrundes til første decimal.

2. Fælles erklæring om artikel 12, stk. 2

De kontraherende parter er enige om, at varer, der på tidspunktet for meddelelsen til Associeringsrådet i henhold til artikel 12, stk. 2 i tillægsprotokollen allerede befinder sig på toldoplag eller er under transport med henblik på udførsel, eller som er genstand for en fast salgskontrakt, skal underkastes den told, der var gældende før indførelsen af de foranstalninger, som Tyrkiet træffer i henhold til samme artikel.

3. Fælles erklæring om artikel 17, stk. 1 og artikel 18, stk. 1

Den i artikel 17, stk. 1, og i artikel 18, stk. 1, omtalte told ifølge den fælles toldtarif er den told ifølge den fælles toldarif, der faktisk anvendes på det tidspunkt, hvor den tyrkiske toldtarif tilpasses den fælles toldtarif.

4. Fælles erklæring om artikel 25, stk. 4

De kontraherende parter erklærer, at ved beregningen af den samlede værdi af alle de kontingenter, der regelmæssigt skal forøges med 10% i henhold til artikel 25, stk. 4, i tillægsprotokollen, bør der ikke tages hensyn til værdien af de indførsler, som Tyrkiet har liberaliseret i løbet af de i samme stk. anførte tidsrum.

5. Fælles erklæring om artikel 27, stk. 2

De kontraherende parter erklærer, at bestemmelserne i artikel 27, stk. 2, i tillægsprotokollen også finder anvendelse på ikke-jernholdige metaller.

6. Fælles erklæring om artikel 34

De kontraherende parter er enige om, at forberedelsesarbejderne til de konstateringer, som Associeringsrådet skal foretage i henhold til artikel 34 i tillægsprotokollen, kan påbegyndes et år før udløbet af perioden på toogtyve år.

7. Fælles erklæring om tolden i den fælles toldtarif, anført i bilag 2 og 6

Den i bilag 2 og 6 omtalte told ifølge den fælles toldtarif er den told ifølge den fælles toldtarif, der faktisk er gældende på ethvert tidspunkt over for de kontraherende parter i GATT.

FORTOLKENDE ERKLÆRINGER

Fortolkende erklÆring til artikel 25 i tillægsprotokollen

Det er vedtaget, at indførsler, der gennemføres:

a) ved særlige bistandsmidler knyttet til bestemte investeringsprojekter,

b) uden valutatildeling,

c) inden for rammerne af loven om fremme af investeringer af udenlandsk kapital,

ikke kan medregnes i det kontingent, der er åbnet for Fællesskabet i henhold til artikel 25 i tillægsprotokollen, særlig stk. 4 og 5.

Fortolkende erklæring om regningsenhedens værdi omtalt i artikel 3 i finansprotokollen

De kontraherende parter erklærer, at:

1. Værdien af den regningsenhed, der er anvendt til at udtrykke det i artikel 3 i finansprotokollen nævnte beløb, er på 0,88867088 gram fint guld.

2. Valutapariteten for en medlemsstat i Fællesskabet i forhold til den i stk. 1 definerede regningsenhed er forholdet mellem vægten af fint guld indeholdt i denne regningsenhed og vægten af fint gult svarende til den paritet, der for denne valuta er anmeldt til Den internationale Valutafond. I mangel af en anmeldt paritet, eller såfremt der til løbende betalinger anvendes kurser, der adskiller sig fra pariteten med en margin, som er større end den, der er godkendt af Valutafonden, skal vægten af fint gult svarende til valutaens paritet beregnes på basis af den kurs, der anvendes af medlemsstaten til de løbende betalinger på beregningsdagen for en valuta, som direkte eller indirekte er fastslået og konvertibel med guld på basis af den for denne konvertible valuta over for Valutafonden anmeldte paritet.

3. Regningsenheden som defineret i stk. 1 forbliver uændret i hele finansprotokollens gennemførelsesrid. Hvis der imidlertid før dennes udløb træffes beslutning om en ensartet ændring af alle velutaers paritet over for guld af Den internationale Valutafond i medfør af artikel 4, afd. 7, i dens vedtægter, vil vægten af fint guld for regningsenheden ændre sig omvendt proportionalt med denne ændring.

Hvis en eller flere medlemsstater i Fællesskabet ikke bringer den af Den internationale Valutafond i første afsnit omtalte beslutning i anvendelse, vil regningsenhedens vægt af fint guld ændre sig omvendt proportionalt med den af Den internationale Valutafond besluttede ændring. Imidlertid vil Rådet for Det europæiske Fællesskab undersøge den opståede situation og på forslag fra Kommissionen og efter udtalelse fra Det monetære Udvalg træffe de nødvendige foranstalninger med kvalificeret flertal.

2. Erklæring vedrørende anvendelsen af aftalen om varer, som henhører under Det europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab
