Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the conclusion by the European Community of a Euro- Mediterranean Interim Association Agreement on trade and cooperation between the European Community and the PLO for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 05. 02. 1997 COM(97) 51 final 97/0036 (AVC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the conclusion by the European Community of a Euro-Mediterranean Interim Association Agreement on trade and cooperation between the European Community and the PLO for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM In line with the directives adopted by the Council of the European Union on 1st October 1996, the Commission initiated negotiations aimed at the conclusion of the first agreement between the European Community and the Palestine Liberation Organisation, for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. After formal negotiations, and extensive technical contacts, the Commission was able to conclude the negotiations following consultation with the Committee established by the Council. The agreement was initialled by the Commission and the PLO on 10th December 1996. The Palestinians are full participants in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership launched at Barcelona in November 1995. The Palestinian Authority has therefore been fully involved in discussions with the EU and with its Mediterranean partners intended to result in a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area. The Palestinian Authority has participated in all activities undertaken to follow up the three chapters of the Barcelona Declaration. The agreement will serve to consolidate ties between the Palestinians and the European Union. The agreement has fully respected the terms of the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement of 28th September 1995 on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Since, under the terms of that Agreement, the PLO may conclude international agreements for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority only in certain areas, the agreement covers only matters of trade and cooperation falling under Community competence. The agreement will be concluded for an interim period of five years. No later than 4th May 1999 negotiations shall commence with a view to concluding a Euro- Mediterranean Association Agreement (until such an agreement is concluded, the present agreement shall remain in force). According to the Declaration of Principles of 13th September 1993, this is the point by which the Government of Israel and the PLO should have settled on the final status of the Palestinian autonomy, and is therefore the earliest point by which it will be known whether the Palestinians will have the possibility of concluding an agreement in areas more extensive than the ones so far laid down. The main consequence of the agreement is the confirmation of a free trade area between the EC and the West Bank and Gaza Strip, in accordance with WTO rules. The agreement commits the parties to the progressive establishment of a free trade area over a transitional period not extending beyond 2001, in conformity with the GATT. Although flows have in practice been small, in fact trade between the EU and the West Bank and Gaza Strip has been free for a considerable period. According to Council Regulation 1134/91, the Community has granted free access to Community markets for industrial goods produced in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Under 1134/91, 1981/94 and 539/96, twenty-two Palestinian agricultural products have enjoyed similarly free access to Community markets (within reference quantities, or, in some cases, tariff quotas), and on processed agricultural / o. goods, only the agricultural portion of duty has been levied. Since Israel has completed free trade arrangements with the Community, by virtue of its Association Agreement with the European Communities, and since the Economic Protocol to the Interim Agreement lays down' that for the majority of products Israel and the Palestinian Authority will maintain the same import policy, it follows that trade between the EU and the West Bank and Gaza Strip is already free. The agreement would contractual se this situation between the Community and the Palestinians. The importance of the agreement is that it confirms the commitment of both parties to free trade, in the spirit of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and according to WTO rules. While the Palestinian Authority has exercised its right to levy higher charges than Israel on a range of industrial products, it has done so on only six industrial products, moreover, these charges shall be gradually abolished so that five years after the date of entry into force of the agreement these charges shall have disappeared. Charges are to be levied by the Palestinian Authority on only four processed agricultural products, but on all other products, industrial or agricultural, no charges are levied by the Palestinian Authority on imports from the EU. As far as Community charges on agricultural and fishery products are concerned, the agreement stipulates that both parties shall examine the situation in order to determine the measures to be applied from 1st January 2000, in the interest of a greater liberalisation of trade in agricultural and fishery products. The agreement furthermore leaves open the possibility of the parties granting each other further concessions on a product-by-product basis during the life of the agreement. The Community already provides an extensive programme of support for the development of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Agreement confirms that a financial cooperation package shall be made available to the Palestinian' Authority, The Budgetary Authority will allocate specific annual amounts within the annual budgetary exercise for Community operations connected with the peace agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation and by the internal procedure governed by Council Regulation No. 1488/96 concerning participation in the MEDA programme. Further, the Agreement details the areas in which economic cooperation may take place between the Palestinian Authority and the Community. The Agreement contains provisions that the Parties undertake to impose no restrictions on current payments or capital relating to direct investments in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, while both parties will seek to protect intellectual property and to ensure fair competition. The Agreement also contains provision for cooperation on audiovisual and cultural matters, and in the areas of information and communication. A Joint Committee for European Community-Palestinian trade and cooperation will be established to supervise the implementation of the Agreement. / b The Commission considers the outcome of the negotiations to be satisfactory to both parties and requests the Council to approve the results of the negotiations and to initiate the procedure for signing the agreement. The Commission is also presenting a proposal for a decision that will allow the Council and the Commission to launch the procedure for the conclusion of the Agreement once it has been signed. / c Proposition de DECISION DU CONSEIL concerning the conclusion by the European Community of a Euro-Mediterranean Interim Association Agreement on trade and cooperation between the European Community and the PLO for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 and Article 130y, in conjunction with the first sentence of Article 228(2) and the second subparagraph of Article 228(3) thereof, Having regard to the proposal of the Commission, Having regard to the Assent of the European Parliament, Whereas, under Article 130u of the Treaty, Community Policy in the sphere of development cooperation should foster the sustainable economic and social development of the developing countries, their smooth and gradual integration into the world economy and the campaign against poverty in those countries, Whereas the present agreement on trade and cooperation between the European Community, of the one part, and the PLO for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, of the other part, signed in. on. , will serve to consolidate ties between the Palestinians and the European Union in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership and pave the way for the commencement of negotiations with a view to concluding a Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement.

JOINT DECLARATION ON A PROGRAMME OF SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIAN INDUSTRY The Parties agree that a programme of support will be put at the disposal of Palestinian industry, designed to nurture and develop the capacity of the Palestinian industrial sector. The Community extends access to start-up funding and to capital to Palestinian businesses in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This includes the European Community Investment Partners programme (ECIP), which provides assistance for business start-up costs, such as feasibility studies and technical assistance, and in some cases, access to funding for joint ventures. Loan funding, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, through a revolving fund administered by the Palestinian Development Fund, is also available on the basis of grants provided by the Community. The European Investment Bank extends loan funding and risk capital to Palestinian business through local banks. The Community has established the Centre for Private Development in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, in order to provide support, training and advice to Palestinian industry, in business start-up and planning, business management, strategy and marketing. The Community recognises that Palestinian industry must seek markets abroad. The present agreement therefore permits duty-free access of Palestinian industrial products to European Union markets. The Palestinian Enterprise Centre, and, within it, the Euro-Info Centre, are therefore available to promote and facilitate contacts and joint ventures between European and Palestinian industry, through partnership events (the Euro-Partenariat, Med-Partenariat and Med-Interprise schemes) and a variety of other means (such as the BC Net and BRE networks), which from time to time become available. The Community also recognises that Palestinian industry has suffered from a lack of basic economic infrastructure. Noting that, in the context of the assistance provided by the Community for the development of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, part of this assistance may be provided in support of Palestinian industry, the Community will consider requests from the Palestinian Authority that a proportion of these funds, as grants or loans, may be devoted to the rehabilitation of vital economic infrastructures. In the framework of the economic cooperation provided for under the current Agreement, the two parties will have regular exchanges of views in order to establish how the range of support 34 mechanisms described in this Declaration, as well as any others which may become available, may most effectively be combined to provide the most appropriate support to Palestinian industry.

A. Letter from the Community Sir, The following was agreed between the Community and the Palestinian Authority: Article 1 of the Protocol 1 provides for the elimination of customs duties on imports into the Community of cut flowers and flower buds, fresh, falling within subheading 06. 03. 10 of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, subject to a limit of 1. 500 tonnes. The Palestinian Authority undertakes to abide by the conditions laid down below for imports into the Community of roses and carnations which qualify for the elimination of this tariff: the price level of imports into the Community must be at least equal to 85% of the Community price level for the same products over the same periods; - the Palestinian price level shall be determined by recording the prices of the imported products, on representative Community import markets; the Community price level shall be based on the producer prices recorded on representative markets of the main producer Member States; - price levels will be recorded on a fortnightly basis and weighted by the respective quantities. This provision is valid for Community prices and for Palestinian prices; for both Community producer prices and the import prices of Palestinian products, a distinction shall be made between large-flowered and small-flowered roses and between unifloral and multifloral carnations; if the Palestinian price level for any one type of product is below 85% of the Community price level, the tariff preference shall be suspended. The Community shall reinstate the tariff preference when a Palestinian price level equal to 85% or more of the Community price level is recorded. I should be obliged if you would confirm that the Palestinian Authority is in agreement with the contents of this letter. Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration. On behalf of the Council of the European Community 47 B.

Article 3 52 Bilateral cumulation of origin 1. Materials originating in the Community shall be considered as materials originating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip when incorporated into a product obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided they have undergone working or processing going beyond that referred to in Article 6(1) of this Protocol. 2. Materials originating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip shall be considered as materials originating in the Community when incorporated into a product obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided they have undergone working or processing going beyond that referred to in Article 6(1) of this Protocol. Article 4 Wholly obtained products 1. The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip: (a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed; (b) vegetable products harvested there; (c) live animals born and raised there; (d) products from live animals raised there; (e) products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there; (f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea outside the territorial waters of the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip by their vessels; (g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in subparagraph (f); (h) used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw materials, including used tyres fit only for retreading or for use as waste; (i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there; (j) products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil; (k) goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in subparagraphs (a) to (j). 5 5;^ 2.

Article 5 Sufficiently worked or processed products 1. For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained are considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the conditions set out in the list in Annex II are fulfilled. The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products covered by this Agreement, the working or processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials. Accordingly, it follows that if a product, which has acquired originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in the list is used in the manufacture of another product, the conditions applicable to the product in which it is incorporated do not apply to it, and no account shall be taken of the non-originating materials which may have been used in its manufacture. 2.

Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall be regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not exceed 15 per cent of the ex-works price of the set. Article 10 Neutral elements In order to determine whether a product originates, it shall not be necessary to determine the origin of the following which might be used in its manufacture: (a) energy and fuel; (b) plant and equipment; (c) machines and tools; (d) goods which do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.

An invoice declaration shall be made out by the exporter by typing, stamping or printing on the invoice, the delivery note or another commercial document, the declaration, the text of which appears in Annex IV, using one of the linguistic versions set out in that Annex and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic law of the exporting country. If the declaration is handwritten, it shall be written in ink in printed characters. 5. Invoice declarations shall bear the original signature of the exporter in manuscript. However, an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 21 shall not be required to sign such declarations provided that he gives the customs authorities of the exporting country a written undertaking that he accepts full responsibility for any invoice declaration which identifies him as if it had been signed in manuscript by him. 6. An invoice declaration may be made out by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation on condition that it is presented in the importing country no longer than two years after the importation of the products to which it relates. Article 21 Approved exporter 1. The customs authorities of the exporting country may authorize any exporter who makes frequent shipments of products under this Agreement to make out invoice declarations irrespective of the value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking such authorization must offer to the satisfaction of the customs authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 2. The customs authorities may grant the status of approved exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appropriate. 3. The customs authorities shall grant to the approved exporter a customs authorization number which shall appear on the invoice declaration. 4. The customs authorities shall monitor the use of the authorization by the approved exporter. 5. The customs authorities may withdraw the authorization at any time. They shall do so where the approved exporter no longer offers the guarantees referred to in paragraph 1, does not fulfil the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise makes an incorrect use of the authorization. 16 8 Article 22 Validity of proof of origin 1. A proof of origin shall be valid for four months from the date of issue in the exporting country, and must be submitted within the said period to the customs authorities of the importing country. 2. Proofs of origin which are submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to submit these documents by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances. 3. In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing country may accept the proofs of origin where the products have been submitted before the said final date. Article 23 Submission of proof of origin Proofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country in accordance with the procedures applicable in that country. The said authorities may require a translation of a proof of origin and may also require the import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required for the implementation of the Agreement. 17 65 Article 24 Importation by instalments Where, at the request of the importer and on the conditions laid down by the customs authorities of the importing country, dismantled or non-assembled products within the meaning of General Rule 2(a) of the Harmonized System falling within Sections XVI and XVII or heading Nos 7308 and 9406 of the Harmonized System are imported by instalments, a single proof of origin for such products shall be submitted to the customs authorities upon importation of the first instalment. Article 25 Exemptions from proof of origin 1. Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming part of travellers' personal luggage shall be admitted as originating products without requiring the submission of a proof of origin, provided that such products are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of this Protocol and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In the case of products sent by post, this declaration can be made on the customs declaration C2/CP3 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document. 2. Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view. 3. Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed ECU 500 in the case of small packages or ECU 1 200 in the case of products forming part of travellers' personal luggage. Article 26 Supporting documents The documents referred to in Articles 16(3) and 20(3) used for the purpose of proving that products covered by a movement certificate EUR. l or an invoice declaration can be considered as products originating in the Community, or in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol may consist inter alia of the following: (a) direct evidence of the processes carried out by the exporter or supplier to obtain the goods concerned, contained for example in his accounts or internal bookkeeping; (b) documents proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law; 18. '* (c) documents proving the working or processing of materials in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip, issued or made out in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law; (d) movement certificates EUR. l or invoice declarations proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip in accordance with this Protocol. Article 27 Preservation of proof of origin and supporting documents 1. The exporter applying for the issue of a movement certificate EUR. 1 shall keep for at least three years the documents referred to in Article 16(3). 2. The exporter making out an invoice declaration shall keep for at least three years a copy of this invoice declaration as well as the documents referred to in Article 20(3). 3. The customs authorities of the exporting country issuing a movement certificate EUR. l shall keep for at least three years the application form referred to in Article 16(2). 4. The customs authorities of the importing country shall keep for at least three years the movement certificates EUR. 1 and the invoice declarations submitted to them. Article 28 Discrepancies and formal errors 1. The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the proof of origin and those made in the documents submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto render the proof of origin null and void if it is duly established that this document does correspond to the products submitted. 2. Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should not cause this document to be rejected if these errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in this document. Article 29 Amounts expressed in ECU 19 1. Amounts in the national currency of the exporting country equivalent to the amounts expressed in ECU shall be fixed by the exporting country and communicated to the importing countries through the European Commission. 2. When the amounts exceed the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing country, the latter shall accept them if the products are invoiced in the currency of the exporting country. When the products are invoiced in the currency of another EC Member State, the importing country shall recognize the amount notified by the country concerned. 3. The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the amounts expressed in ECU as at the first working day in October 1996. 4. The amounts expressed in ECU and their equivalents in the currencies of the EC Member States and the West Bank and Gaza Strip shall be reviewed by the Joint Committee at the request of the Community or the Palestinian Authority. When carrying out this review, the Joint Committee shall ensure that there will be no decrease in the amounts to be used in any national currency and shall furthermore consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in ECU. TITLE VI ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION Article 30 Mutual assistance 1. The customs authorities of the EC Member States and of the West Bank and Gaza Strip shall provide each other, through the European Commission, with specimen impressions of stamps used in their customs offices for the issue of movement certificates EUR. l and with the addresses of the customs authorities responsible for verifying those certificates and invoice declarations. 2. In order to ensure the proper application of this Protocol, the Community and the Palestinian Authority shall assist each other, through the competent customs administrations, in checking the authenticity of the movement certificates EUR. l or the invoice declarations and the correctness of the information given in these documents. Article 31 Verification of proofs of origin /k 20 1. Subsequent verifications of proofs of origin shall be carried out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the importing country have reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of such documents, the originating status of the products concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 2. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs authorities of the importing country shall return the movement certificate EUR. l and the invoice, if it has been submitted, the invoice declaration, or a copy of these documents, to the customs authorities of the exporting country giving, where appropriate, the reasons for the enquiry. Any documents and information obtained suggesting that the information given on the proof or origin is incorrect shall be forwarded in support of the request for verification. 3. The verification shall be carried out by the customs authorities of the exporting country. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter's accounts or any other check considered appropriate. 4. If the customs authorities of the importing country decide to suspend the granting of preferential treatment to the products concerned while awaiting the results of the verification, release of the products shall be offered to the importer subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary. 5. The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of this verification as soon as possible. These results must indicate clearly whether the documents are authentic and whether the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol. 6. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months of the date of the verification request or if the. reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products, the requesting customs authorities shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferences. Article 32 Dispute settlement Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 31 which cannot be settled between the customs authorities requesting a verification and the customs authorities responsible for carrying out this verification or where they raise a question as to the interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be submitted to the Joint Committee. In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of the importing country shall be under the legislation of the said country. Article 33 21 69 Penalties Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes to be drawn up, a document which contains incorrect information for the purpose of obtaining a preferential treatment for products. Article 34 Free zones 1. The Community and the Palestinian Authority shall take all necessary steps to ensure that products traded under cover of a proof of origin which in the course of transport use a free zone situated in their territory, are not substituted by other goods and do not undergo handling other than normal operations designed to prevent their deterioration. 2. By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products originating in the Community or the West Bank and Gaza Strip are imported into a free zone under cover of a proof of origin and undergo treatment or processing, the authorities concerned shall issue a new. EUR. l certificate at the exporter's request, if the treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this Protocol. TLE VII CEUTA AND MELILLA Article 35 Application of the Protocol 1. The term "Community" used in Article 2 does not cover Ceuta and Melilla. 2. Products originating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, when imported into Ceuta or Melilla, shall enjoy in all respects the same customs regime as that which is applied to products originating in the customs territory of the Community under Protocol 2 of the Act of Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities. The Palestinian Authority shall grant to imports of products covered by the Agreement and originating in Ceuta and Melilla the same customs regime as that which is granted to products imported from and originating in the Community. 3. For the purpose of the application of paragraph 2 concerning products originating in Ceuta and Melilla, this Protocol shall apply mutatis mutandis subject to the special conditions set out in Article 36. 22 0 ' Article 36 Special conditions 1. Providing they have been transported directly in accordance with the provisions of Article 12, the following shall be considered as: ( 1 ) products originating in Ceuta and Melilla: (a) products wholly obtained in Ceuta and Melilla; (b) products obtained in Ceuta and Melilla in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) are used, provided that: (i) the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol; or that (ii) those products are originating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip or the Community within the meaning of this Protocol, provided that they have been submitted to working or processing which goes beyond the insufficient working or processing referred to in Article 6(1). (2) products originating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip: (a) products wholly obtained in the West Bank and Gaza Strip; (b) products obtained in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) are used, provided that: (i) the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol; or that (ii) those products are originating in Ceuta and Melilla or the Community within the meaning of this Protocol, provided that they have been submitted to working or processing which goes beyond the insufficient working or processing referred to in Article 6(1). 2. Ceuta and Melilla shall be considered as a single territory. 3. The exporter or his authorized representative shall enter "The West Bank and Gaza Strip" and "Ceuta and Melilla" in Box 2 of movement certificates EUR. l or on invoice declarations. In addition, in the case of products originating in Ceuta and Melilla, this shall be indicated in Box 4 of movement certificates EUR. l or on invoice declarations. 23 71 4. The Spanish customs authorities shall be responsible for the application of this Protocol in Ceuta and Melilla. TITLE VIII FINAL PROVISIONS Article 37 Amendments to the Protocol The Joint Committee may decide to amend the provisions of this Protocol. 24 7 9 1 rW Article 38 Implementation of the Protocol The Community and the Palestinian Authority shall each take the steps necessary to implement this Protocol. Article 39 Goods in transit or storage The provisions of the Agreement may be applied to goods which comply with the provisions of this Protocol and which on the date of entry into force of the Agreement are either in transit or are in the Community or in the West Bank and Gaza Strip or, in temporary storage in bonded warehouses or in free zones, subject to the submission to the customs authorities of the importing State, within four months of that date, of a certificate EUR. l endorsed retrospectively by the competent authorities of the exporting State together with the documents showing that the goods have been transported directly. 25 r~< <4 Annex I Introductory notes to the list in Annex II Note 1 : The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 5 of the Protocol. Note 2: 2. 1. The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the Harmonized System and the second column gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns a rule is specified in columns 3 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an "ex", this signifies that the rules in columns 3 or 4 apply only to the part of that heading as described in column 2. 2. 2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description of products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in columns 3 or 4 apply to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped together in column 1. 2. 3. Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rules in columns 3 or 4. 2. 4. Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt, as an alternative, to apply either the rule set out in column 3 or that set out in column 4. If no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule set out in column 3 has to be applied. Note 3: 3. 1. The provisions of Article 5 of the Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the Community or in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. 26 74 Example: An engine of heading No 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40 per cent of the ex-works price, is made from "other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging" of heading No ex 7224. If this forging has been forged in the Community from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule for heading No ex 7224 in the list. The forging can then count as originating in the value calculation for the engine regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the Community. The value of the non- originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used. 3. 2. The rule in the list represents the minimum amount of working or processing required and the carrying out of more working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying out of less working or processing cannot confer originating status. Thus if a rule provides that non-originating material at a certain level of manufacture may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed and the use of such material at a later stage is not. 3. 3. Without prejudice to Note 3. 2 where a rule states that "materials of any heading" may be used, materials of the same heading as the product may also be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in the rule. However, the expression "manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading No. " means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used. 3. 4. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that any one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used. Example: The rule for fabrics of heading Nos 5208 to 5212 provides that natural fibres may be used and that chemical materials, among other materials, may also be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; it is possible to use one or the other or both. 3. 5. Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition obviously does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule. (See also Note 6. 2 below in relation to textiles). Example: The rule for prepared foods of heading No 1904 which specifically excludes the use of cereals and their derivatives does not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not products from cereals. 27 / 0 However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture. Example: In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 made from non-woven materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth - even if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting material would normally be at the stage before yarn - that is the fibre stage. 3. 6. Where, in a rule in the list, two percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, then these percentages may not be added together. In other words, the maximum value of all the non-originating materials used may never exceed the highest of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials they apply to. Note 4: 4. 1. The term "natural fibres" is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not spun. 4. 2. The term "natural fibres" includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of heading Nos 5002 and 5003 as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, the cotton fibres of heading Nos 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305. 4. 3. The terms "textile pulp", "chemical materials" and "paper-making materials" are used in the list to describe the materials not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns. 4. 4. The term "man-made staple fibres" is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of heading Nos 5501 to 5507. Note 5: 5. 1. Where for a given product in the list a reference is made to this note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not be applied to any basic textile materials, used in the manufacture of this product, which, taken together, represent 10 per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5. 3 and 5. 4 below). 5. 2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5. 1 may only be applied to mixed products which have been made from two or more basic textile materials. 28 76 The following are the basic textile materials: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - silk, wool, coarse animal hair, fine animal hair, horsehair, cotton, paper-making materials and paper, flax, true hemp, jute and other textile bast fibres, sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave, coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres, synthetic man-made filaments, artificial man-made filaments, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide, synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride, other synthetic man-made staple fibres, artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose, other artificial man-made staple fibres, yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped, yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester whether or not gimped, products of heading No 5605 (metallized yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film, - other products of heading No 5605. Example: A yarn of heading No 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading No 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading No 5506 is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 per cent of the yarn. 29 77 Example: A woollen fabric of heading No 5112 made from woollen yarn of heading No 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading No 5509 is a mixed fabric. Therefore synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn that does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the fabric. Example: Tufted textile fabric of heading No 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and cotton fabric of heading No 5210 is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being made from yarns classified in two separate headings or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures. Example: If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading No 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is accordingly a mixed product. Example: A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns and with a jute backing is a mixed product because three basic textile materials are used. Thus, any non-originating materials that are at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be used, provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the textile materials of the carpet. Thus, both the jute backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage of manufacture, provided the weight conditions are met. 5. 3. In the case of products incorporating "yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped" this tolerance is 20 per cent in respect of this yarn. 5. 4. In the case of products incorporating "strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm. sandwiched by means of an adhesive between two layers of plastic film", this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip. Note 6: 30 ( o 6. 1. In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this note, textile materials, with the exception of linings and interlinings, which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made-up product concerned may be used provided that they are classified in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 per cent of the ex-works price of the product. 6. 2. Without prejudice to Note 6. 3, materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely in the manufacture of textile products, whether or not they contain textiles. Example: If a rule in the list provides that for a particular textile item, such as trousers, yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles. 6. 3. Where a percentage rules applies, the value of materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated. 31 79 Note 7: 7. 1. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the "specific processes" are the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) vacuum distillation; redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (J); cracking; reforming; extraction by means of selective solvents; the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralization with alkaline agents; decolorization and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite; polymerization; alkylation; isomerization. 7. 2. For the purposes of heading Nos 2710, 2711 and 2712, the "specific processes" are the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (ij) (k) vacuum distillation; redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process ( 1 ) cracking; reforming; extraction by means of selective solvents; the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralization with alkaline agents; decolorization and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite; polymerization; alkylation; isomerization; in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, desulphurization with hydrogen resulting in a reduction of at least 85 per cent of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method); (1) in respect of products falling within heading No 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering; (m) in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250°C (1) See Additional Explanatory Note 4(b) to Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature. 32 8 0 with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurization, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating oils of heading No ex 2710 (e. g. hydrofinishing or decolorization) in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process; (n) in respect of fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 per cent of these products distils, by " volume, including losses, at 300°C by the ASTM D 86 method; (o) in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge. 7. 3. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple operations such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing products with different sulphur contents, any combination of these operations or like operations do not confer origin. 33 81 ANNEX II LIST OF WORKING OR PROCESSING REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED OUT ON NON-ORIGINATING MATERIALS IN ORDER THAT THE PRODUCT MANUFACTURED CAN OBTAIN ORIGINATING STATUS The products mentioned in the list may not all be covered by the agreement.
