Invoerrechten en het actieve veredelingsverkeer in de E.E.G.

Summary An exporting manufacturer may incorporate in his product imported raw materials or semi-finished products that are subject to an import duty. It will depend on the regulations of his country whether he automatically gets his import duty refunded or has ro apply for a licence to that end. In the latter case the granting of such a licence will depend on the kind of product, and on the economic and political conditions in his country. The author of this article attempts to show:(1) that in the majority of cases an import duty on a product which is going to be reexported, is detrimental to the economy of the country itself, both a short and at long term; and(2) that both methods of refund may work in a community administered by a single, objective and efficient government.If no central government exists, as for example, in the case of the European Common Market, each country will retain jurisducton over refund of import duties at export to countries outside the E.C.M.-area, unless — which is preferable — refund on exports to countries outside the common market is made automatic by common consent.
