Article 6U.K.
1.The agricultural component applicable in the framework of preferential trade shall be the specific amount fixed in the Common Customs Tariff.
However, where the country or countries concerned satisfy the requirements of Community legislation for processed products, adopt the same basic products as the Community, cover the same goods and use the same coefficients as the Community:
(a)this agricultural component may be determined on the basis of the quantities of basic products actually used if the Community has concluded a customs cooperation agreement covering the establishment of such quantities;
(b)the duty applicable on importation of the basic product may be replaced by an amount established on the basis of the difference between agricultural prices in the Community and those in the country or region concerned, or by an amount offsetting a jointly established price for the region concerned;
(c)where the application of point (b) results in amounts with little impact on the goods covered, this arrangement may be replaced by a system of flat rate amounts or rates.
2.The agricultural components, with any reductions, applicable to imports under a preferential agreement shall be converted into national currency by applying the same exchange rate as applicable to non-preferential trade.
3.The ad valorem duties corresponding to the agricultural component of the charge for the goods in Table 2 of Annex II may be replaced by another agricultural component where provided for by a preferential agreement.
4.The detailed rules for applying this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 16(2).
If necessary, those detailed rules shall cover in particular:
(a)completion and circulation of the documents necessary for granting the preferential arrangements provided for in paragraphs 1 and 3 of this Article;
(b)the measures necessary to avoid diversions of trade;
(c)the list of basic products.
5.Where methods of analysing the agricultural products used are necessary, the methods specified for the agricultural products in question in the case of refunds on exports to third countries shall be used.
6.The Commission shall publish the charges resulting from application of the agreements referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3.
