THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof, in conjunction with the second subparagraph of Article 300(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Council decided on 19 March 2001 to authorise the Commission to negotiate on behalf of the European Community, the accession of the European Community to the World Customs Organisation.

(2) The Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council is expected to be amended by the Council of the World Customs Organisation at its 109th/110th session in June 2007 to allow customs or economic unions, including the European Community to acquire membership of the World Customs Organisation.

(3) The Member States of the European Community should support that draft amendment which, after its adoption by the Council of the World Customs Organisation, would allow the Community’s accession to the amended Convention.

(4) Following exploratory talks with the World Customs Organisation, the European Community and the World Customs Organisation examined the possibility for the European Community to exercise the rights and obligations akin to those of Members of the World Customs Organisation pending the ratification of the amended Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council by all Members of the World Customs Organisation.

(5) The European Community is expected to be in a position to assume these rights and obligations in the framework of the Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council in matters of Community competence.

(6) The Members States of the European Community maintain their status in the World Customs Organisation.

(7) Both the European Community and its Member States have competence in the areas covered by the Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council.

(8) For matters falling under European Community competence a European Community position must be established. For matters falling partly within Community competence, Member States of the European Community should strive to adopt a common position to ensure the unity of external representation of the European Community and its Member States.

(9) In view of the above the Council should provide for the exercise of rights and obligations akin to membership ad interim by the European Community in the World Customs Organisation, including the payment of an annual contribution,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

ANNEX

ANNEX Declaration of competence by the European Community in matters covered by the Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council

In accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended, this declaration sets out the competence that the Member States of the European Community have transferred to the European Community in matters governed by the Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council. The European Community declares that it has, in accordance with Articles 131 to 134 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, exclusive competence on common commercial policy. The European Community may conclude international agreements whenever the internal competence has already been used in order to adopt measures for implementing common policies or if international agreement is necessary to obtain one of the European Community’s objectives. The European Community’s external competence is exclusive to the extent to which an international agreement affects internal European Community rules or alters their scope. Where this is the case, it is not for the Member States of the European Community but for the European Community to enter into external undertakings with third States or International Organisations. A list of measures concerning customs matters adopted by the Community is provided for in the list of legal instruments in the Annex to this Declaration. The exercise of competence which Member States of the European Community have transferred to the European Community pursuant to the Treaties is, by its nature, liable to continuous change. The European Community therefore reserves the right to adjust the declaration.
