Whereas that exchange of letters provided for certain rules of origin; whereas, if such rules are to be applied, the conditions governing the carriage of originating products and arrangements for administrative cooperation must be laid down; whereas the fact that the products in question are originating products must be substantiated by a movement certificate issued by the Norwegian customs authorities when the corresponding products are exported,

3.Customs duties applicable to imports into Ireland of products originating in Norway and falling within heading Nos ex 03.01, ex 16.04 and ex 16.05 of the Common Customs Tariff listed in Table III annexed to this Regulation, shall be reduced to, or fixed at, the level shown for each of them.
4.The reductions provided for in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall be applied provided only that Norway complies with present or future Community reference prices.
