COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES it it it * Brussels, 25. 11. 1996 COM(96) 533 final 96/0259 (AVC) 96/0260 (AVC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the conclusion of a Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the Field of Transport between" the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (presented by the Commission) 1. 2. 3. Explanatory Memorandum On 22 December 1995, the Council authorized the Commission to open negotiations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia with a view to concluding a Cooperation Agreement, a Protocol on financial cooperation and an Agreement in the Field of Transport. On the basis of these negotiating directives negotiations started on 28 March 1996. On 19 June 1996, the Commission and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have reached an agreement on the texts of a Cooperation Agreement (including a Protocol on financial cooperation) and an Agreement in the Field of Transport. These texts and the Declarations to be annexed to the Final Act, were established as authentic and definitive by the way of exchange of letters. This form of authenticating the texts has been chosen because the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was not ready to initial a document not bearing its constitutional name. The Cooperation Agreement with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is similar in content to the Cooperation Agreement signed in 1993 with Slovenia promoting comprehensive cooperation between the Contracting Parties. At the same time, it is stated that the European Community's cooperation with and assistance to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will also contribute to good-neighbourly relations among countries in South-Eastern Europe and the development of regional cooperation and trade. The readiness of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to enter into such cooperation and relations with other countries in the region constitutes an important factor in the development of the relations and cooperation between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The Cooperation Agreement includes an evolutionary clause providing for the possibility of strengthening the contractual relations, in due course, when conditions are met "bearing in mind the aspiration of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for an advanced relationship towards an association with the European Union. " It comprises a preferential trade regime, which is based on the. autonomous import regime applied to countries which have emerged from Former Yugoslavia, and Protocols on additional trade arrangements for certain iron and steel products and on the rules of origin. The Protocol on financial cooperation is also an integral part of the Cooperation Agreement. It provides for the financing of projects of common interest to the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, particularly those relating to infrastructure and, as a matter of first priority, transport infrastructure. In conformity with the negotiating directives, the signature of the Protocol on financial cooperation and thus of the Cooperation Agreement as a whole is subject to obtaining full settlement of the debt of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to the European Community. The Cooperation Agreement establishing the European Community. is based on Articles 113 and 235 of the Treaty 4. The Agreement in the Field of Transport is similar in content to the Agreement signed in 1993 with Slovenia providing in particular for free transit from the entry into force of the Agreement. In addition, as regards the transit traffic through Austria of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, it includes the establishment of a system of ecopoints similar to that laid down by Article 11 of Protocol No. 9 to the Act of Accession of Austria to the European Union, with effect from 1 January 1999. The aim of this system is to ensure effectively that there is no discrimination between heavy goods vehicles from the European Community and those from the Fonner Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The Agreement sets out the main road and rail routes and projects of particular interest to the Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to which the Community can contribute financially under the Protocol on financial cooperation annexed to the Cooperation Agreement. The Agreement in the Field of Transport is based on Article 75 of the Treaty establishing the European Community. 5. The Commission invites the Council to approve the results of the negotiations and to proceed with the signature of these Agreements as soon as the corresponding conditions are fullfilled. Accordingly it hereby submits to the Council the proposals for Council Decisions on the conclusion of a Cooperation Agreement and an Agreement in the Field of Transport between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Annex: Statement for the Council minutes ANNEX Statement for the Council minutes The Council and the Commission wish to state that the quotas, ceilings and reference quantities set in connection with the Cooperation Agreement with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will, as a rule, be deducted from the quotas, ceilings and reference quantities set under the arrangements applicable to the former Yugoslav republics. In the case of industrial products, the Commission reserves the right to retum to the question of overall ceilings for the former Yugoslavia later, in the light of the development of contractual relations between the European Union and the other former Yugoslav republics.

It shall also apply to other finished steel products which may originate in future in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Article 2 1. Imports into the Community of the products originating in the. Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia listed in Annex I to this Protocol shall be subject to annual tariff ceilings, the ceilings fixed for the year of entry into force of the Agreement being indicated against each product 2, As from the second year following the entry into force of the Agreement, the amounts of the tariff ceilings given in Annex I shall be increased annually by 5% except that the Community may extend for a period of one year the ceiling or ceilings set for the preceding year. Article 3 1. Quantitative restrictions, customs duties or charges on exports to the Community and any measures having equivalent effect shall be abolished by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia upon entry into force of the Agreement, with the exception of those applying to ferrous waste and scrap under the complete CN Heading 7204, which shall be progressively reduced and shall be eliminated at the latest by the end of the second year after the entry into force of the Agreement. 2. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will liberalize progressively the export restrictions relating to wastes and scrap of ferrous metals. It will therefore permit the export of these products to the Community within the following quantitative limits: 20. 000 tonnes in the first year after the entry into force of the Agreement and 35. 000 tonnes in the second year after the entry into force of the Agreement. 3. The authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will notify the Community, within three months of the entry into force of the Agreement, of the internal measures taken to implement fully this progressive liberalisation and will send the Community details of the export licences issued and of exports realised at six-monthly intervals. The Contact Group will periodically review the progressive appropriate, make restrictions liberalisation of recommendations to the Cooperation Council. and, where the export 4C Article 4 Where any product is being imported into the territory of one of the Contracting Parties in such increased quantities or under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive products or serious disturbances to the steel markets of the other Contracting Party, the Contracting Parties shall enter into consultations immediately to find an appropriate solution before the Contracting Party concemed takes the appropriate measures. In the selection of measures, priority must be given to those which least disturb the functioning of the Agreement. Article 5 1. The Contracting Parties recognise the need for an administrative procedure having as its purpose the rapid provision of information on the trend in trade flows in respect of the trade in steel products originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in order to increase transparency and to avoid possible diversions of trade. 2. The Contracting Parties therefore agree to establish a double-checking system, without quantitative limits, for the import into the Community of steel products originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; to exchange statistical information on export and surveillance documents and to hold consultations promptly on any problems arising from the operation of such a system. 3. The details of the double-checking system are contained in Annex HI to this Protocol. The continuing need for this system shall be regularly reviewed The Annex may subsequently be amended or the double-checking system abolished by means of a Decision of the Cooperation Council. Article 6 The Contracting Parties commit themselves to close cooperation in matters relating to the iron and. steel industry, particularly in the areas-listed in Article 4 of the Agreement. In this context, they agree to ensure transparency through regular exchanges of information on policy in areas such as competition, public aid and restructuring. Article 7 The Parties'agree that one of the special bodies established by the Cooperation Council shall be a Contact Group responsible for discussing the implementation of this Protocol. 46 Annex I £>oc:i,i:to' CM •«!«• »2l Colmc (4\ 0600213 7 2 08 F l a t - r o l l ed p r o d u c ts of or m o r e, h o t - r o l l e d, not c l a d, p l a t ed or c o a t ed : i r on or n o n - a l l oy s t e e l, of a w i d th of 6 00 mm i 7208 10 00 — In coils, not further worked than hot-rolled, with patterns in relief (ECSC).

From the date of entry into force of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (hereinafter referred to as respectively "the Agreement" and "the Community"), imports into the Community of the products listed in Appendix I originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall be subject to the presentation of a surveillance document conforming to the model shown at Appendix II issued by the authorities in the Community. 2. The classification of the products covered by this Decision is based on the tariff and statistical nomenclature of the Community (hereinafter called the "Combined Nomenclature", or in abbreviated form "CN"). The origin of the products covered by this Decision shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community. 3. The competent authorities of the Community undertake to inform the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia of any changes in the combined nomenclature (CN) in respect of products covered by the double-checking system before the date of their entry into force in the Community. 4. Import into the Community of the iron and steel products listed in Appendix I and which originate in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall, in addition, be subject to the issue of an export document by the competent authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. In order to avoid problems at the end of a year, presentation by the importer of the original of the export document must be effected not later than 31 March of the year following that in which the goods covered by the document were shipped. 5. An export document will not be required for goods already shipped before the date of entry into force of the Agreement, provided that the destination of such products is not changed from a non-Community destination and that those products which, under the prior surveillance regime applicable in 1996, could be imported only on presentation of a surveillance document are in fact accompanied by such a document. 6. Shipment is considered to have taken place on the date of loading onto the exporting means of transport. 7. The export document shall conform to the model shown at Appendix III. It shall be valid for exports throughout the customs territory of the Community. S) 8. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall notify the Commission of the European Communities of the names and addresses of the appropriate governmental authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia which are authorised to issue and to verify export documents together with specimens of the stamps and signatures they use. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall also notify the Commission of any change in these particulars. 9. Certain technical provisions on the implementation of the double-checking system are set out in Appendix IV. Article 2 1. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia undertakes to supply the Community with precise statistical information on the export documents issued by the authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia pursuant to Article 1. Such information shall be transmitted to the Community by the end of the month following the month to which the statistics relate. 2. The Community undertakes to supply the authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia with precise statistical information on surveillance documents issued by Member States in respect of the products listed in Appendix 1. Such information shall be transmitted to the authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia by the end of the month following the month to which the statistics relate. Article 3 If necessary, at the request of either of the Parties, consultations shall be held on any problems arising from the operation of the double-checking system. Such consultations shall be held promptly. Any consultations held under this Article shall be approached by both Parties in a spirit of co-operation and with a desire to reconcile the difference between them. Any notices to be given hereunder shall be given: Article 4 in respect of the Community, to the Commission of the European Communities (DGI/D/2 and DGIII/C/2), in respect of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to its Mission to the European Communities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy. 1% Appendix I to Annex III THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA LIST OF PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO DOUBLE-CHECKING Complete CN heading 7208 Complete CN heading 7209 Complete CN heading 7210 Complete CN heading 7211 Complete CN heading 7212 Complete CN heading 7303 Complete CN heading 7304 Complete CN heading 7305 Complete CN heading 7306 *1 Appendix II to Annex III EUROPEAN COMMUNITY SURVEILLANCE DOCUMENT j 1 j I 1 1.

The export documents shall measure 210 x 297 mm. The paper used shall be white writing paper, sized, not containing mechanical pulp, and weighing not less than 25 g/m2. They shall be made out in English. If they are completed by hand, entries must be in ink and in printed script. These documents may comprise additional copies duly indicated as such. If the documents have several copies only the top copy is the original. This copy shall be clearly marked as "original" and other copies as "copies". Only the original shall be accepted by the competent authorities of the Community as being valid for the control of export to the Community in accordance with the provisions of the double-checking system. 2. Each document shall bear a standardised serial number, whether or not printed, by which it can be identified. This number shall be composed of the following elements: a two-digit number identifying the exporting country as follows: 96. a two-digit number identifying the intended Member State of customs clearance as follows: 01 = France 02 = Belgium and Luxembourg 03 = Netherlands 04 = Germany 05 = Italy 06 = United Kingdom 07 = Ireland 08 - Denmark 09 = Greece 10 = Portugal 11 = Spain - 30 = Sweden 32 = Finland 38 = Austria a one-digit number identifying the year, corresponding to the last figure in the respective year, e. g. 7 for 1997; a two-digit number from 01 to 99, identifying the particular issuing office concerned in the exporting country; a five-digit number running consecutively from 00001 to 99999 allocated to the intended Member State of customs clearance. U 3. The export documents shall be valid for four months from the date of their issue. Export documents may be renewed or prolonged. 4. Since the importer needs to present the original export document when requesting an import document, export documents should, as far as possible, be issued in respect of individual commercial transactions, not global contracts. 5. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia need not show price information on the export document if there is a genuine need to protect commercial confidentiality. In such cases, Box 9 of the export document should indicate the reason for not showing the price information and that it is available to the competent authorities of the European Communities on request. 6. Export documents may be issued after the shipment of the products to which they relate. In such cases they must bear the endorsement "issued retrospectively". 7. In the event of a theft, loss or destruction of an export document, the exporter may apply to the competent governmental authority which issued the document for a duplicate to be made out on the basis of the export documents in his possession. The duplicate of any such document so issued shall bear the endorsement "duplicate". The duplicate shall bear the date of the original export document. 8. The competent authorities of the Community shall be informed immediately of the withdrawal or modification of any export documents already issued and, where relevant, of the basis for such action.

Article 3 Bilateral cumulation of origin Materials originating in the Community shall be considered as materials originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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. '. Materials originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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 refened to in Article 6(1) of this Protocol. h Article 4 Wholly obtained products The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed; vegetable products harvested there; live animals born and raised there; products from live animals raised there; products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there; products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea outside the territorial waters of the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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 useci tyres fit only for retreading or for use as waste; (i) (j) (k) /* waste ana scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there; products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil; goods produced subparagraphs (a) to (j). there exclusively from the products specified in The terms "their vessels" and "their factory ships" in sub-paragraphs 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships: (a) , which are registered or recorded in an EC Member State or in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; (b) (c) which sail under the flag of an EC Member State or of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; which are owned to an extent of at least 50 per cent by nationals of EC Member States or of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, or by a company with its head office in one of these States, of which the manager or managers, Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board, and the majority of the members of such boards are nationals of EC Member States or of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to those States or to public bodies or nationals of the said States; (d) of which the master and officers are nationals of EC Member States or of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; and H (e) of which at least 75 per cent of the crew are nationals of EC Member States or of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Article 5 Sufficiently worked or processed products 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. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list, should not be used in the manufacture of a product may nevertheless be used, provided that: (a) (b) their total value does not exceed 10 per cent of the ex-works price of the product; any of the?*percentages given in the list for the maximum value of non- originating' materials are not exceeded the application of this paragraph. through This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System.

Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed ECU 500 in the case of small packages or ECU 1200 in the case of products forming part of travellers' personal luggage. ït 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. 1 or an invoice declaration can be considered as products originating in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and fulfill the other requirements of this Protocol may consist inter alia of the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. 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; documents proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law; documents proving the working or processing of materials in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, issued or made out in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law; movement certificates EUR. 1 or invoice declarations proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in accordance with this Protocol. ' Article 27 Preservation of proof of origin and supporting documents 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). 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 refened to in Article 20(3). The customs authorities of the exporting country issuing a movement certificate EUR. 1 shall keep for at least three years the application form refened to in Article 16(2). The customs authorities of the importing country shall keep for at least three years the movement certificates EUR. l and the invoice declarations submitted to them. Article 28 Discrepancies and formal errors 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. 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 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. 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. J. 4. 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 1995. The amounts expressed in ECU and their equivalents in the national currencies of the EC Member States and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall be reviewed by the Cooperation Committee at the request of the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. When carrying out this review, the Cooperation 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 The customs authorities of the EC Member States and of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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. In order to ensure the proper application of this Protocol, the Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall assist each other, the competent customs administrations, in checking the authenticity of the movement certificates EUR. I or the invoice declarations and the correctness of the information given in these documents. through Article 31 Verification of proofs of origin 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 9 >l to the authenticity of such documents, the originating status of the products concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of This Protocol. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs authorities of the importing country shall return the movement certificate EUR. 1 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 of origin is incorrect shall be forwarded in support of the request for verification. 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. 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. 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 Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and fulfill the other requirements of this Protocol. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months of the date of the verification requester if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the produas, the requesting customs authorities shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferences. J. 4. 5. 6. 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 Cooperation 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 Penalties Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes to be drawn up, a document which contains inconect information for the purpose of obtaining a preferential treatment for products. IS 1. 2. 1. 2. Article 34 Free zones The Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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. By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products originating in the Community or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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. 1 certificate at the exporter's request, if the treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this Protocol. TITLE VII CEUTA AND MELDLLA Article 35 v Application of the Protocol The term 'Community' used in Article 2 does not cover Ceuta and Melilla, Products originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, when imported into Ceuta or Melilla, shall enjoy in all r-espects 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 Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall grant to imports of produas 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. J. 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. 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 cf Article 5 of this Protocol; or that (ii) those products are originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 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 Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: (a) products wholly obtained Macedonia; in the Former Yugoslav Republic of (b) products obtained in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, 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). Ceuta and Melilla shall be considered as a single territory. The exporter or his authorized representative shall enter "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and "Ceuta and Melilla". in Box 2 of movement certificates EUR. 1 or on invoice declarations. In addition, in the case of produas originating in Ceuta and Melilla, this shall be indicated in Box 4 of movement certificates EUR. l or on invoice declarations. The Spanish customs authorities shall be responsible for the application of this Protocol in Ceuta and Melilla. TITLE Vm FINAL PROVISIONS Article 37 Amendments to the Protocol The Cooperation Council may decide to amend the provisions of this Protocol. Vt 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 I 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 produas which, under the Harmonized System,'«are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped togeaher in column 1. 2. 3 Where there are different rules in the list applying to different produas 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. T 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 Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. 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. W 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 levei 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 It does not one material, this means that any one or more materials may be used. require that all be used. Example: The rule for fabrics of HS 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. this does not apply to products which, although However, they cannot be manufactured from the particular material specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture. 81 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 lis: 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 welr*as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, the cotton fibres of heading Nos 5201 :o 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305. 'o 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 fiiament 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 produas which have been made from two or more basic textile materials. The following are the basic textile materials: - silk, - wool, - coarse animal hair, € ? SN • 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 polytetrafluorcethylene, 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 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 produas of heading 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. 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 yams 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 5. 4 In the case of products incorporating "yam made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped" this tolerance is 20 per cent in respect of this yarn. 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 films of plastic film", this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip. % Note 6: 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 produa 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 rule 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. 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) vacuum distillation; (b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process1 (c) cracking; (d) reforming; (e) extraction by means of selective solvents; (f) 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; (g) polymerization; (h) alkylation; (i) isomerization. See Additional Explanatory Note 4(b) to Chapter 27 of the combined nomenclature 7. 2 For the purposes of heading Nos 2710, 2711 and 2712, the "specific processes" are the following: (a) vacuum distillation; (b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process1 (c) cracking; (d) reforming; (e) extraction by means of selective solvents; (f) 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; (g) polymerization; (h) alkylation; (ij) isomerization; (k) 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 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. 1 See Additional Explanatory Note 4(b) to Chapter 27 of the combined nomenclature ANNEXn 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.
