  p to the present in all preferential Agreements and in the Connnunity 's
 CSP scheme the origin rules and the methods of cooperative cooperation
have not applied to oil products ( the products of "List C") . However , in
Lome II and the Agreement EEC-Yougoslavia the administrative arrange
ments in the Origin Protocols apply to List C products . It seems sensible
to envisage the all round extension of this principle .
In the case of the EEC-EFTA Agreements the Joint Committee does not have
the powers to make the change necessary to apply the measures of administrative
cooperation in Protocol No 3 to these products and an agreement in the
form of an exchange of letters is necessary .
The effect of the change is that it will become obligatory to use customs
issued movement certificates EUR.l and the option of using Chamber of
Commerce origin certificates will be removed . This change also means
that the arrangements for post export verifications of certificates and
the other administrative provisions of the part of the protocols will
apply . This change will improve control of the preferences and remove an
element of confusion in the current system where movement certificates
and origin certificates are used interchangeably .
