COVER NOTE
from : Heinz Zourek, Director General, European Commission
dated : 18 October 2007
to : President of the EC-Turkey Association Council
Subject : EC-Turkey Association Agreement – Decision 2/97 – Directive 71/316/EEC i – Drawing for the sign “TR”
As required by Decision 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on
implementing the final phase of the Customs Union, Decision 2/97 of the EC-Turkey Association
Council of 4 June 1997 established the list of Community instruments relating to the removal of
technical barriers to trade between the European Community and Turkey. The list includes
Directive 71/316/EEC i on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to common
provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control.
Directive 71/316/EEC i provides in Annex I point 3.1 for an EEC pattern approval and a sign of
approval, which is to be the distinguishing capital letter of the State which granted the approval.
Annex II of the Directive provides for the EEC initial verification of instruments. Annex II point
3.1.1.1(a) sets out the distinguishing capital letter of the State where the original check was carried
out. The drawing of the letter showing its shape dimensions and outline is set out at point 3.2.1 of
the Annex.
Decision 2/97 contains, for the purpose of Decision 1/95 of the Association Council, the required
adaptations to Directive 71/316/EEC i, in Chapter IX point 1 of Annex II. In particular, Decision
2/97 stipulates that the distinguishing capital letter of Turkey shall be the sign “TR”. However, as
the corresponding drawing was not available at the time the Decision was made, the Decision
requires that it is supplemented at a later stage.
The drawing for the distinguishing capital letters “TR” for Turkey is now available, and so, I would
like to inform the Association Council that we consider it should follow the specifications below:

0,128
0,033

0,128 0,128
0,166 0,183
This information will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union (C-series).
I attach, for your information, a draft Communication on this issue.
Yours sincerely,
Heinz Zourek
