96It must be emphasised in that connection that, unlike the principles enshrined in the Treaty relating to competition, taxation and the approximation of laws which, under Article 16 of the Association Agreement, must be made applicable as such within the EEC-Turkey Association, it is clear from the wording of Article 15 of that agreement and Article 42 of the Additional Protocol that the Association Council enjoys a considerably wider discretion in the field of transport. Those articles provide that ‘the rules and conditions for extension’ to the Republic of Turkey of the transport provisions of the Treaty are to be laid down ‘with due regard to the geographical situation of Turkey’, with the result that, in the context of the Association, the rules to be adopted on transport are not necessarily the same as those applicable under the Treaty.
