Whereas the Customs Convention on the Temporary Importation of Private Road Vehicles, negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations Organization and signed in New York on 4 June 1954, covers temporary import conditions and procedures for private road vehicles in the customs territories of the Community and third countries and is a customs agreement which could help international trade;

Whereas, moreover, all the Member States of the Community except Greece are Contracting Parties of the Convention;
Whereas, if the Community is to become a Contracting Party, it must deposit an accession instrument with the Secretary-General of the United Nations Organization;
Whereas the current Community provisions on the temporary importation of road vehicles for private use comply with those of the Convention and there is therefore no need to enter any reservations with regard to the Convention;
