    • The Implementing Convention (IC) was provided for in Art. 136 EEC and was included at German insistence. Its duration was limited for a number of reasons: The political future of the territories was uncertain (Italian Somaliland was due for independence in 1960; and Cameroon, Togo and Rwanda-Burundi were under nominal UN jurisdiction: Cosgrove Twitchett, supra note 11, at 19). It was also unrealistic to expect continuing development aid commitments; and the entirely experimental nature ofthe system suggested that there should be a sunset clause on the proposed arrangements: ibid., at 17.

    • Part IV set up the principle ofthe mutual right ofestablishment between the Member States and the territories (Art. 132(5) EEC) though to be implemented gradually (Art. 8IC). This principle was introduced at the insistence of Germany, which hoped thereby to break into the colonial markets: Cosgrove Twitchett, supra note 11, at 24-25. Part IV also established the principle of free movement of OCT workers in the Member States, to be governed by later agreement between the Member States (Art. 135 EEC). No such agreement eventuated and the subject was abandoned. See Gorrell Barnes, supra note 16, at 14.

    • The Working Party also criticized the EEC's use of'legal rates' (or 'bound rates') rather than actually applied rates as a basis for determining CET duties on tropical products. They claimed that this 'could only have been either to raise more revenue or to give an even greater margin of preference for the protection of the AOTs' and that 'since revenue could always be safeguarded by introducing internal taxes it was clear to them that the object was to increase the preferential margin'. See ibid., para. 52.
