Technical regulations
1.
The Parties recognise the importance of good regulatory practices with regard to the preparation, adoption andapplication of technical regulations, in particular of the work carried out by the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers
to Trade on good regulatory practices. In this context, each Party undertakes to:(a) when developing a technical regulation:(i)assess, in accordance with its laws and regulations or administrative guidelines, the available regulatory or nonregulatory alternatives to the proposed technical regulation that may fulfil its legitimate objective, in order toensure that the proposed technical regulation is not more trade-restrictive than necessary to fulfil its legitimate
objective, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 2 of the TBT Agreement; nothing in this provision shallaffect the rights of each Party to prepare, adopt and apply measures without delay where urgent problems
including safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or threaten to arise;(ii) endeavour to systematically carry out impact assessments for technical regulations with significant effect on
trade, including an assessment of their impact on trade; and(iii) specify, wherever appropriate, technical regulations based on product requirements in terms of performance
rather than design or descriptive characteristics; and(b) review, without prejudice to paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the TBT Agreement, adopted technical regulations atappropriate intervals, preferably not exceeding five years, in particular with a view to increasing their convergencewith relevant international standards. In undertaking this review, each Party shall, inter alia, take into account any
new development in the relevant international standards and whether the circumstances giving rise to divergences ofthat Party's technical regulations from any relevant international standard continue to exist. The outcome of thisreview shall be communicated and explained to the other Party on its request.

2.
When a Party considers that its technical regulation and a technical regulation of the other Party that have thesame objectives and product coverage are equivalent, that Party may request in writing, providing detailed reasons, thatthe other Party recognise those technical regulations as equivalent. The requested Party shall give positive considerationto accepting those technical regulations as equivalent, even if they differ, provided that it is satisfied that the technicalregulation of the requesting Party adequately fulfils the objectives of its own technical regulation. If the requested Party
does not accept a technical regulation of the requesting Party as equivalent, the requested Party shall, on request of therequesting Party, explain the reasons for its decision.

3.
On request of a Party that has an interest in developing a technical regulation similar to a technical regulation of
the other Party, the requested Party shall, to the extent practicable, provide the requesting Party with relevant
information, including studies or documents, except for confidential information, on which it has relied in developing its
technical regulation.

4.
Each Party shall uniformly and consistently apply requirements relating to the placement of products on themarket which are established in technical regulations applicable to its whole territory. If a Party has substantiatedreasons to believe that any of these requirements are not applied uniformly and consistently in the territory of the otherParty, and that this situation leads to significant impact on bilateral trade, that Party may notify the other Party of those
substantiated reasons with a view to clarifying the issue, and, if appropriate, addressing it in a timely manner by thecontact point referred to in Article 7.14 or by other appropriate bodies established under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7.6

TBT Agreement, provided that in their development, the principles and procedures set out in the Decision of the WTO
Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides andRecommendations with Relation to Articles 2 and 5 of the TBT Agreement and Annex 3 to the TBT Agreement (1) havebeen followed, except when such standards or relevant parts of them would be ineffective or inappropriate for thefulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued.

2.
With a view to harmonising standards on as wide a basis as possible, the Parties shall encourage regional or
national standardising bodies within their territories to:(a) play a full part, within the limits of their resources, in the preparation by relevant international standardising bodies
of international standards;(b) use relevant international standards as a basis for the standards they develop, except where such international
standards would be ineffective or inappropriate, for instance because of an insufficient level of protection or
fundamental climatic or geographical factors or fundamental technological problems;(c) avoid duplication of, or overlap with, the work of international standardising bodies; and(d) review their standards which are not based on relevant international standards at appropriate intervals, preferably
not exceeding five years, with a view to increasing their convergence with relevant international standards.

When developing technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures:(a) each Party shall use relevant international standards, guides or recommendations, or the relevant parts of them, tothe extent provided for in paragraph 4 of Article 2 and in paragraph 4 of Article 5 of the TBT Agreement, as a basis
for its technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures and avoid deviations from the relevant internat­
ional standards or additional requirements when compared to those standards, except when the Party developing thetechnical regulation or conformity assessment procedure can demonstrate, based on relevant information, including
available scientific or technical evidence, that such international standards would be ineffective or inappropriate forthe fulfilment of legitimate objectives pursued, as referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 2 and paragraph 4 of
Article 5 of the TBT Agreement; and(b) if a Party does not use relevant international standards, guides or recommendations, or the relevant parts of them,as referred to in paragraph 1, as a basis for its technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures, that Party
shall, on request of the other Party, explain the reasons why it considers such international standards to beineffective or inappropriate for the fulfilment of legitimate objectives pursued, as referred to in paragraph 2 ofArticle 2 and paragraph 4 of Article 5 of the TBT Agreement, and provide the relevant information, including
available scientific or technical evidence on which this assessment is based, as well as identify the parts of thetechnical regulation or conformity assessment procedure concerned which in substance deviate from the relevant in­
ternational standards, guides or recommendations.
4.
Each Party shall encourage its regional or national standardising bodies within its territory to cooperate with therelevant standardising bodies of the other Party in international standardising activities. Such cooperation may take placein international standardising bodies of which both Parties or standardising bodies of both Parties are members. Suchbilateral cooperation could aim, inter alia, at promoting the development of international standards, facilitating thedevelopment of common standards for both Parties in areas of shared interest where there are no international
standards, in particular as regards new products or technologies, or further enhancing the exchange of information
between the standardising bodies of the Parties.

ARTICLE 7.7

Standards
1.
The Parties affirm their obligations under paragraph 1 of Article 4 of the TBT Agreement to ensure that regionalor national standardising bodies within their territories accept and comply with the Code of Good Practice for the
Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards in Annex 3 to the TBT Agreement.
2.
The Parties recall that, pursuant to the definition of a standard in Annex 1 to the TBT Agreement, compliance withstandards is not mandatory. Where compliance with a standard is required in a Party through incorporation of, orreference to, that standard in a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure, the Party shall, in developing
the draft technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure, comply with the transparency obligations set out inparagraph 9 of Article 2 or paragraph 6 of Article 5 of the TBT Agreement, and in Article 7.9.
3.
Each Party shall encourage, subject to its laws and regulations, its regional or national standardising bodies toensure adequate participation of interested persons within the territory of that Party in the standard development
process and to allow persons of the other Party to participate in consultation procedures, which are available to thegeneral public, on terms no less favourable than those accorded to its own persons.
4.

The Parties undertake to exchange information on:(a) each Party's use of standards in support of demonstrating or facilitating compliance with technical regulations;(b) their standard setting processes, in particular the manner and extent to which international or regional standards areused as a basis for their regional or national standards; and(c) cooperation agreements or arrangements on standardisation with third parties or international organisations.

ARTICLE 7.8

Conformity assessment procedures
1.
With respect to the preparation, adoption and application of technical regulations, subparagraphs 1(a)(i),1(a)(ii) and 1(b) of Article 7.5 also apply, mutatis mutandis, to conformity assessment procedures.
2.
In conformity with paragraph 1.2 of Article 5 of the TBT Agreement, each Party shall ensure that conformity
assessment procedures are not stricter or are not applied more strictly than is necessary to give the importing Partyadequate confidence that products conform with the applicable technical regulations or standards, taking into accountthe risks associated with products, including the risks that non-conformity would create.
3.
The Parties recognise that a broad range of mechanisms exist to facilitate the acceptance of the results ofconformity assessment procedures. Such mechanisms may include:(a) mutual recognition agreements for the results of conformity assessment procedures with respect to specific technicalregulations conducted by bodies located in the territory of the other Party;(b) cooperative and voluntary arrangements between conformity assessment bodies located in the territories of theParties;(c) plurilateral and multilateral recognition agreements or arrangements to which both Parties are participants;(d) the use of accreditation to qualify conformity assessment bodies;(e) government designation of conformity assessment bodies, including conformity assessment bodies located in theother Party;(f) recognition by a Party of results of conformity assessment procedures conducted in the territory of the other Party;
and(g) manufacturer's or supplier's declaration of conformity.
4.
The Parties shall exchange information regarding the mechanisms covered by paragraph 3. A Party shall, on
request of the other Party, provide information on:(a) the mechanisms referred to in paragraph 3 and similar mechanisms with a view to facilitating the acceptance of theresults of conformity assessment procedures;(b) factors, including assessment and management of risk, considered when selecting appropriate conformity assessment
procedures for specific products; and(c) accreditation policy, including on international standards for accreditation, and international agreements andarrangements in the field of accreditation, including those of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation(ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), to the extent possible and used by a Party in a specific area.
5.

With regard to those mechanisms each Party shall:(a) use, whenever possible and in accordance with its laws and regulations, a supplier's declaration of conformity as
assurance of conformity with the applicable technical regulations;(b) use accreditation with authority derived from government or performed by government, as appropriate, as a means
to demonstrate technical competence to qualify conformity assessment bodies;(c) if accreditation is established by law as a necessary separate step to qualify conformity assessment bodies, ensure that
accreditation activities are independent from conformity assessment activities and that there are no conflicts ofinterest between accreditation bodies and the conformity assessment bodies they accredit; the Parties may comply
with this obligation by means of the separation of conformity assessment bodies from accreditation bodies; (1)(1) Subparagraph (c) does not apply to the conformity assessment activities performed by a Party itself where that Party retains the final
decision-making authority regarding the conformity of a product.

The Parties shall cooperate in the field of mutual recognition in accordance with the Agreement on Mutual
Recognition between the European Community and Japan, done at Brussels on 4 April 2001. The Parties may alsodecide, in accordance with relevant provisions of that Agreement, to extend the coverage as regards to the products, theapplicable regulatory requirements and the recognised conformity assessment bodies.

ARTICLE 7.9

Transparency
1.
When developing a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure which may have a significant effecton trade, each Party shall:(a) carry out consultation procedures, subject to its laws and regulations, which are available to the general public andmake the results of such consultation procedures and any existing impact assessments publicly available;(b) allow persons of the other Party to participate in consultation procedures which are available to the general public
on terms no less favourable than those accorded to its own persons;(c) take into account the other Party's views when carrying out consultation procedures which are available to thegeneral public and, on request of the other Party, provide written responses in a timely manner to the comments
made by that Party;(d) in addition to subparagraph 1(a)(ii) of Article 7.5, make publicly available the results of the impact assessment on
a proposed technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure, if carried out, including of the impact on trade;and(e) endeavour to provide, on request of the other Party, a summary in English of the impact assessment referred to in
subparagraph (d).
2.
Each Party shall, when making notifications in accordance with paragraph 9.2 of Article 2 or paragraph 6.2 of
Article 5 of the TBT Agreement:(a) allow in principle at least 60 days from the date of notification for the other Party to provide written comments tothe proposal, except where urgent problems of safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or
threaten to arise and, where practicable, give appropriate consideration to reasonable requests for extending thecomment period;(b) provide the electronic version of the full notified text together with the notification;(c) provide, in case the notified text is not in one of the official WTO languages, a detailed and comprehensive
description of the content of the measure in the notification format, as well as, if already available, a translation of
the notified text in one of the official WTO languages;(d) reply in writing to written comments received from the other Party on the proposal, no later than the date of
publication of the final technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure;(e) provide information on the adopted final text through an addendum to the original notification;(f) allow a reasonable interval (1) between the publication of technical regulations and their entry into force for

ARTICLE 7.10

Market surveillance1.
For the purposes of this Article, ‘market surveillance’ is a public authority function separate from and carried out
after conformity assessment procedures, and means activities conducted and measures taken by public authorities on thebasis of procedures of a Party to enable that Party to monitor or address compliance of products with the requirements
set out in its laws and regulations.
2.

Each Party shall, inter alia:(a) exchange information with the other Party on market surveillance and enforcement activities, for example on theauthorities responsible for market surveillance and enforcement, or on measures taken against dangerous products;(b) ensure the independence of market surveillance functions from conformity assessment functions with a view to
avoiding conflicts of interest; (1) and(c) ensure that there are no conflicts of interest between market surveillance authorities and the persons concerned,
subject to control or supervision, including the manufacturer, the importer and the distributor.

ARTICLE 7.11

Marking and labelling
1.
The Parties note that a technical regulation may include or deal exclusively with marking or labelling
requirements. Accordingly, if a Party develops marking or labelling requirements in the form of a technical regulation,that Party shall ensure that such requirements are not prepared, adopted or applied with a view to or with the effect of
creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade and are not more trade restrictive than necessary to fulfil legitimate
objectives as referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 2 of the TBT Agreement.
2.
In particular, the Parties agree that, if a Party requires marking or labelling of product in the form of a technicalregulation:(a) information required for such marking or labelling of products shall be limited to what is relevant for persons
concerned, including consumers, users of the product or authorities, for indicating the product's compliance withregulatory requirements;(b) a Party shall not require any prior approval, registration or certification of markings or the labels of products asa precondition for placing on its market products that otherwise comply with its mandatory technical requirements,
unless necessary to fulfil its legitimate objective;(c) if that Party requires the use of a unique identification number for marking or labelling of products, it shall issue
such number to the persons concerned, including the manufacturer, the importer and the distributor, without undue
delay and on a non-discriminatory basis;(1) For greater certainty, this subparagraph does not apply to authorisation functions performed by a Party itself when it retains the final
decision-making authority regarding the conformity of a product. A Party may comply with this obligation by means of separation ofmarket surveillance authorities from conformity assessment bodies.

approved persons for reasons of public health or safety; and(f) the Party shall, unless it considers that legitimate objectives under the TBT Agreement are compromised thereby,
endeavour to accept non-permanent or detachable labels, or marking or labelling in the accompanying documen­
tation rather than physically attached to the product.

ARTICLE 7.12

Cooperation
1.
The Parties shall strengthen their cooperation in the field of technical regulations, standards and conformity
assessment procedures with a view to increasing the mutual understanding of their respective systems and facilitating
access to their respective markets. The Parties recognise that existing regulatory cooperation dialogues are importantmeans to strengthen such cooperation.

ARTICLE 8.43

Approaches to regulation
1.
The Parties recognise the value of competitive markets to deliver a wide choice in the supply of telecommuni­
cations services and to enhance consumer welfare, and that economic regulation may not be needed if there is effective
competition. Accordingly, the Parties recognise that regulatory needs and approaches differ market by market, and thata Party may determine how to implement its obligations under this Sub-Section.
2.

In that respect, the Parties recognise that a Party may:(a) engage in direct regulation either in anticipation of an issue that the Party expects may arise or to resolve an issue
that has already arisen in the market; or(b) rely on the role of market forces, particularly with respect to market segments that are competitive or that have low
barriers to entry, such as services provided by suppliers of telecommunications services that do not own network
facilities.
3.
For greater certainty, a Party that refrains from engaging in regulation in accordance with subparagraph 2(b)remains subject to the obligations under this Sub-Section. Nothing in this Article shall prevent a Party from applying
regulation to telecommunications services.

ARTICLE 8.44

Access and use
1.
Each Party shall ensure that any service supplier of the other Party is accorded access to, and use of, public
telecommunications transport networks and services on terms and conditions which are reasonable, non-discriminatory
and no less favourable than those which the supplier of those public telecommunications transport networks andservices provides for its own like services under like circumstances. This obligation shall be applied, inter alia, throughparagraphs 2 to 6.
2.
Each Party shall ensure that service suppliers of the other Party are accorded access to, and use of, any public
telecommunications transport network or service offered within or across the borders of the former Party, including
private leased circuits, and shall to that end ensure, subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, that such service suppliers are
permitted to:(a) purchase or lease, and attach, terminal or other equipment which interfaces with the network and which is necessary
to supply their services;L 330/80

3.
Each Party shall ensure that service suppliers of the other Party may use public telecommunications transport
networks and services for the movement of information within and across the borders of the former Party, including for
intra-corporate communications of such service suppliers, and for access to information contained in databases orotherwise stored in machine-readable form in either Party or in any other member of the WTO.
4.
Notwithstanding paragraph 3, a Party may take such measures as are necessary to ensure the security andconfidentiality of messages subject to the requirement that those measures are not applied in a manner which would
constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade in services.
5.
Each Party shall ensure that no condition is imposed on access to, and use of, public telecommunications transport
networks and services other than as necessary to:(a) safeguard the public service responsibilities of suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks andservices, in particular their ability to make their networks or services available to the public generally; or(b) protect the technical integrity of public telecommunications transport networks or services.

munications transport networks and services may include:(a) restrictions on resale or shared use of those services;(b) a requirement to use specified technical interfaces, including interface protocols, for inter-connection with public
telecommunications transport networks and services;(c) requirements, if necessary, for the inter-operability of public telecommunications transport services and to encourage
the achievement of the goals set out in Article 8.55;(d) type approval of terminal or other equipment which interfaces with public telecommunications transport networks
and technical requirements relating to the attachment of that equipment to those networks;(e) restrictions on inter-connection of private leased or owned circuits with public telecommunications transport
networks or services, or with circuits leased or owned by other service suppliers; or(f) notification, permit, registration and licensing.

ARTICLE 8.45

2.
Each Party shall provide its regulatory authority with the power to require, where appropriate, that major suppliers
in its territory accord to suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks or services of the other Party
treatment no less favourable than that which the major supplier concerned accords in like circumstances to its
subsidiaries or its affiliates, regarding:(a) the availability, provisioning, rates or quality of like telecommunications services; and(b) the availability of technical interfaces necessary for interconnection.
3.
Each Party shall ensure that major suppliers in its territory provide interconnection with suppliers of public
telecommunications transport networks or services of the other Party at any technically feasible point in the network of
the major supplier concerned and that the major supplier concerned provides such interconnection:(a) under terms, conditions (including with respect to technical standards, specifications, quality and maintenance) andrates which are non-discriminatory and no less favourable than those provided for its own like services under likecircumstances, and of a quality no less favourable than that provided for its own like services, for like services of
non-affiliated service suppliers, or for its subsidiaries or other affiliates;(b) in a timely fashion, on terms, conditions (including with respect to technical standards, specifications, quality andmaintenance) and cost-oriented rates that are transparent, reasonable, having regard to economic feasibility, andsufficiently unbundled so that the suppliers need not pay for network components or facilities that they do not
require for the service to be provided; and(1) For the purposes of this Article, ‘enabling use of network facilities’ means the making available of facilities or services to another supplierof public telecommunications transport networks or services under defined conditions, for the purpose of providing public telecommu­
nications transport services. It may include the use of active or passive network elements, associated facilities, virtual network services,

Each Party shall ensure that major suppliers in its territory provide suppliers of public telecommunicationstransport networks or services of the other Party with the opportunity to interconnect their facilities and equipmentwith those of a major supplier through:(a) a reference interconnection offer or another standard interconnection offer containing the rates, terms andconditions that the major supplier offers generally to suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks orservices; or(b) the terms and conditions of an interconnection agreement in effect.
5.
Each Party shall ensure that the procedures applicable for interconnection with major suppliers in its territory are
made publicly available.
6.
Each Party shall ensure that major suppliers in its territory make publicly available either their interconnection
agreements or their reference interconnection offers.
7.
Each Party shall ensure that major suppliers in its territory that acquire information from another supplier ofpublic telecommunications transport networks or services in the process of negotiating arrangements on, and as a resultof, the use of network facilities or interconnection, use that information solely for the purpose for which it was supplied
and respect at all times the confidentiality of information transmitted or stored.
8.
Each Party shall ensure that major suppliers in its territory enable the use of network facilities, which may include,inter alia, network elements and associated facilities, to suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks orservices of the other Party on terms and conditions (including in relation to rates, technical standards, specifications,
quality and maintenance) which are transparent, reasonable, non-discriminatory (including with respect to timeliness)

and regulations of that Party relating to business confidentiality.
(1) For greater certainty, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as preventing a Party from allowing a major supplier in its territory to
reject co-location where there is a reasonable ground for rejection, in particular with regard to technical feasibility.
(2) For greater certainty, the regulatory authority of a Party shall not be regarded as not functionally independent solely based on the factthat an authority of that Party (other than the regulatory authority) holds shares or other equity interest in a supplier of telecommuni­
cations services, telecommunications networks or telecommunications network equipment.

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO PRODUCT SPECIFIC RULES OF ORIGIN

Note 1
General principles
1. This Annex sets out the general rules for the applicable requirements of Annex 3-B provided for in subparagraph 1(c)of Article 3.2.
2. For the purposes of this Annex and Annex 3-B, the requirements for a product to be originating in accordance with
subparagraph 1(c) of Article 3.2 are a change in tariff classification, a production process, a maximum value of nonoriginating materials, a minimum regional value content, or any other requirement specified in this Annex andAnnex 3-B.
3. Reference to weight in a product specific rule of origin means the net weight, which is the weight of a material ora product, not including the weight of packaging.
4. This Annex, Annex 3-B and Annex 3-E are based on the Harmonized System, as amended on 1 January 2017.
Note 2The structure of Annex 3-B
1. Notes on Sections or Chapters, where applicable, are read in conjunction with the product specific rules of origin for
the relevant Section, Chapter, heading or subheading.
2. Each product specific rule of origin set out in Column 2 of Annex 3-B applies to the corresponding productidentified in Column 1 of Annex 3-B.
3. If a product is subject to alternative product specific rules of origin, the product shall be originating if it satisfies oneof the alternatives. If a product is subject to a product specific rule of origin that includes multiple requirements, theproduct shall be originating only if it satisfies all of the requirements.
4. For the purpose of this Annex and Annex 3-B,(a) ‘Chapter’ means the first two-digits in the tariff classification number under the Harmonized System;(b) ‘heading’ means the first four-digits in the tariff classification number under the Harmonized System;(c) ‘Section’ means a section of the Harmonized System; and(d) ‘subheading’ means the first six-digits in the tariff classification number under the Harmonized System.
5. For the purposes of product specific rules of origin, the following abbreviations apply (1):‘CC’means production from non-originating materials of any Chapter, except that of the product, or a change to
the Chapter, heading or subheading from any other Chapter; this means that all non-originating materials
used in the production of the product must undergo a change in tariff classification at the 2-digit level(i.e. a change in Chapter) of the Harmonized System.

‘CTH’means production from non-originating materials of any heading, except that of the product, or a change to
the Chapter, heading or subheading from any other heading; this means that all non-originating materials
used in the production of the product must undergo a change in tariff classification at the 4-digit level(i.e. a change in heading) of the Harmonized System.

‘CTSH’ means production from non-originating materials of any subheading, except that of the product, or a change
to the Chapter, heading or subheading from any other subheading; this means that all non-originating
materials used in the production of the product must undergo a change in tariff classification at the
6-digit level (i.e. a change in sub-heading) of the Harmonized System.
(1) For greater certainty, if a requirement of a change in tariff classification provides for exception for a change from certain Chapters,headings or subheadings, none of the non originating materials of those Chapters, headings or subheadings may be used, individually or
jointly.

Note 3
Application of Annex 3-B
1. Paragraph 3 of Article 3.2, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the productionof other products, applies irrespective of whether or not this status has been acquired inside the same factory ina Party where those products are used.
2. If a product specific rule of origin provides that a specified non-originating material may not be used or that thevalue or weight of a specified non-originating material cannot exceed a specific threshold, those requirements do not
apply to non-originating materials classified elsewhere in the Harmonized System.
3. If a product specific rule of origin provides that a product shall be produced from a particular material, this does notprevent the use of other materials which cannot satisfy the requirement because of their inherent nature.
Note 4
Calculation of a maximum value of non-originating materials and of a minimum regional value content

For the purposes of product specific rules of origin:(a) ‘biotechnological processing’ means:(i) biological or biotechnological culturing (including cell culture), hybridisation or genetic modification of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses (including phages) etc.) or human, animal or plant cells; and(ii) production, isolation or purification of cellular or intercellular structures (such as isolated genes, gene fragments
and plasmids), or fermentation;(b) ‘change in particle size’ means the deliberate and controlled modification in particle size of a product, other than by
merely crushing or pressing, resulting in a product with a defined particle size, defined particle size distribution or
defined surface area, which is relevant to the purposes of the resulting product and with physical or chemical charac­
teristics different from those of the input materials;(c) ‘chemical reaction’ means a process (including a biochemical processing) which results in a molecule with a new
structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial
arrangement of atoms in a molecule, with the exception of the following which are not considered to be chemical
reactions for the purpose of this definition:(i)dissolving in water or other solvents;(ii) the elimination of solvents including solvent water; or(iii) the addition or elimination of water of crystallisation;(d) ‘distillation’ means:(i) atmospheric distillation: a separation process in which petroleum oils are converted, in a distillation tower, into
fractions according to boiling point and the vapour then condensed into different liquefied fractions; products
produced from petroleum distillation may include liquefied petroleum gas, naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, diesel orheating oil, light gas oils and lubricating oil; and(ii) vacuum distillation: distillation at a pressure below atmospheric but not so low that it would be classed as
molecular distillation; vacuum distillation is used for distilling high-boiling and heat-sensitive materials such as
heavy distillates in petroleum oils to produce light to heavy vacuum gas oils and residuum;(e) ‘isomer separation’ means the isolation or separation of isomers from a mixture of isomers;(f) ‘mixing and blending’ means the deliberate and proportionally controlled mixing or blending (including dispersing)of materials, other than the addition of diluents, only to conform to predetermined specifications which results inthe production of a product having physical or chemical characteristics that are relevant to the purposes or uses ofthe product and are different from the input materials;(g) ‘production of standard materials’ (including standard solutions) means a production of a preparation suitable foranalytical, calibrating or referencing uses with precise degrees of purity or proportions certified by the manufacturer;and(h) ‘purification’ means a process which results in the elimination of at least 80 per cent of the content of existing
impurities.

L 330/637(b) ‘natural fibres’ means fibres other than synthetic or artificial fibres. Their use is restricted to the stages before
spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been carded,combed or otherwise processed, but not spun; ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 05.11, silk ofheadings 50.02 and 50.03, wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 51.01 to 51.05, cotton fibres ofheadings 52.01 to 52.03, and other vegetable fibres of headings 53.01 to 53.05;(c) ‘printing’ means a technique by which an objectively assessed function, such as colour, design, or technicalperformance, is given to a textile substrate with a permanent character, using screen, roller, digital or transfer
techniques; and(d) ‘printing (as standalone operation)’ means a technique by which an objectively assessed function, such as colour,
design, or technical performance, is given to a textile substrate with a permanent character, using screen, roller,
digital or transfer techniques combined with at least two preparatory or finishing operations (such as scouring,bleaching, mercerizing, heat setting, raising, calendaring, shrink resistance processing, permanent finishing,decatising, impregnating, mending and burling, shearing, singeing, process of air-tumbler, process of stenter, milling,steam and shrinking, and wet decatising), provided that the value of all the non-originating materials used does notexceed 50 per cent of the EXW or 45 per cent of the FOB of the product.
Note 7
Tolerances applicable to products containing two or more basic textile materials
1. For the purposes of this Note, basic textile materials are the following:
(a)

silk;

(b)

wool;

(c)

coarse animal hair;(d)fine animal hair;(e)horsehair;(f)cotton;(g)

paper-making materials and paper;(h) flax;(i)true hemp;(j)jute and other textile bast fibres;(k)sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave;(l)coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres;(m) synthetic man-made filaments;(n) artificial man-made filaments;(o)current-conducting filaments;(p) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene;(q)synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester;(r)

synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide;(s)synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile;(t)synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide;(u)synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene;(v)

synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly (phenylene sulphide);(w) synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly (vinyl chloride);(x)other synthetic man-made staple fibres;(y)artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose;(z)other artificial man-made staple fibres;(aa) yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped;(bb) yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester whether or not gimped;L 330/638

27.12.2018(cc) products of heading 56.05 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or ofa core of plastic film irrespective of 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;(dd) other products of heading 56.05;(ee) glass fibres; and(ff) metal fibres.
2. Where reference to this Note is made in Annex 3-B, the requirements set out in its Column 2 shall not apply, as
a tolerance, to non-originating basic textile materials which are used in the production of a product, provided that:(a) the product contains two or more basic textile materials; and(b) the weight of the non-originating basic textile materials, taken together, does not exceed 10 per cent of the total
weight of all the basic textile materials used.
For example:
For a woollen fabric of heading 51.12 containing woollen yarn of heading 51.07, synthetic yarn of staple fibres ofheading 55.09 and materials other than basic textile materials, non-originating woollen yarn which does not satisfy
the requirement set out in Annex 3-B, or non-originating synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the requirement set
out in Annex 3-B, or a combination of both, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed
10 per cent of the weight of all the basic textile materials.
3. Notwithstanding Note 7.2 (b), for products containing ‘yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segmentsof polyether, whether or not gimped’, the maximum tolerance is 20 per cent. However, the percentage of the othernon-originating basic textile materials shall not exceed 10 per cent.
4. Notwithstanding Note 7.2 (b), for products containing ‘strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core ofplastic film irrespective of 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’, the maximum
tolerance is 30 per cent. However, the percentage of the other non-originating basic textile materials shall not exceed
10 per cent.
5. For a product of headings 51.06 to 51.10 and headings 52.04 to 52.07, non-originating man-made fibres may be
used in the process of spinning of natural fibres, provided that their total weight does not exceed 40 per cent of theweight of the product.
Note 8Other tolerances applicable to certain textile products
1. Where reference to this Note is made in Annex 3-B, non-originating textile materials (with the exception of linings
and interlinings) which do not satisfy the requirements set out in its Column 2 for a made-up textile product may be
used, provided that they are classified in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does notexceed 8 per cent of the EXW or FOB of the product.
2. Non-originating materials which are not classified in Chapters 50 to 63 may be used without restriction in the
production of textile products classified in Chapters 61 to 63, whether or not they contain textiles.
For example:
If a requirement set out in Annex 3-B provides that yarn shall be used, for a certain textile item (such as trousers),
this does not prevent the use of non-originating metal items (such as buttons), because metal items are not classified
in Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reasons, it does not prevent the use of non-originating slide fasteners, eventhough slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.
3. Where a requirement set out in Annex 3-B consists in a maximum value of non-originating materials, the value ofthe non-originating materials which are not classified in Chapters 50 to 63 shall be taken into account in thecalculation of the value of the non-originating materials.

ANNEX 23JOINT DECLARATIONThe European Union recalls the obligations of third countries that have established a customs union with the European
Union to align their trade regimes to that of the European Union and, for some of them, to conclude preferential
agreements with countries that have entered into preferential agreements with the European Union.
In this context, the Parties note that Japan has already started negotiations with one of those countries which haveestablished a customs union with the European Union and whose products do not benefit from the tariff concessions
under this Agreement, with a view to concluding a bilateral agreement establishing a free trade area in accordance with
Article XXIV of GATT 1994.
The European Union invites Japan to conclude negotiations as soon as possible with a view to having the above
mentioned preferential agreements enter into force as soon as possible after the entry into force of this Agreement.
