Division 15.1 The wording of the general reservation shall be replaced by:

‘Community legislation allows Member States the option of constituting certain areas of Community customs territory as free zones. So far free zones of this type have been set up by Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom.

In addition Community legislation provides for a particular type of free zone called a ‘free warehouse’, to which exactly the same rules apply as those governing the free zones. So far, free warehouses have been set up in Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal.

Moreover, Community legislation covers only part of the procedures dealt with in this Annex. In respect of areas not covered by Community legislation, the Member States shall enter their own reservations if necessary.’
