THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3322/80 of 16 December 1980 establishing a multiannual scheme of generalized tariff preferences and its application for 1981 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries [1], and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3320/80 of 16 December 1980 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff preferences for textile products originating in developing countries and territories [2], and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3321/80 of 16 December 1980 establishing a multiannual scheme of generalized tariff preferences and its application for 1981 in respect of certain agricultural products originating in developing countries [3], and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas, as regards all the products referred to in the abovementioned Regulations, rules should be established to define the conditions in which they acquire the character of originating products, the mode of proof and the terms as to verification thereof; whereas it is appropriate for this purpose to adopt the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3067/79 of 20 December 1979 on the definition of the concept of originating products for the purposes of the application of tariff preferences granted by the European Economic Community in respect of certain developing countries [4]; whereas it is necessary to amend that Regulation in view of experience gained;

Whereas it is necessary to make transitional provisions for the benefit of those countries certain of whose products have not previously enjoyed tariff preferences;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Origin,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(a) products wholly obtained in that country;

(b) products obtained in that country in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) are used, provided that the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 3.

1. Originating products within the meaning of this Regulation shall be eligible, on importation into the Community, to benefit from the tariff preferences specified in Article 1 on production of a certificate of origin Form A issued either by the customs authorities or by other governmental authorities of the exporting beneficiary country, provided that the latter country assists the Community by allowing the customs authorities of Member States to verify the authenticity of the document or the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.

2. However, originating products within the meaning of this Regulation which are sent by post (including those sent by parcel post) shall, provided that the consignments contain only originating products and that their value does not exceed 1420 EUA [7] per consignment, qualify on entry into the Community for the tariff preferences specified in Article 1 on production of a Form APR, on condition that the assistance specified in the preceding paragraph is forthcoming in respect of the said form.

3. Originating products within the meaning of this Regulation shall be eligible on importation into the Community to benefit from tariff preferences specified in Article 1 on production of a certificate of origin Form A issued by the customs authorities of Austria, Finland, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland on the basis of a certificate of origin Form A issued by the appropriate authorities of the exporting beneficiary country provided that the conditions laid down in Article 5 have been fulfilled and provided that Austria, Finland, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland assists the Community by allowing its customs authorities to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the certificates of origin Form A. The procedure laid down in Article 12 (1) shall apply mutatis mutandis. The time period laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 27 shall be extended to eight months.

4. Without prejudice to Article 3 (3), where, at the request of the person declaring the goods at the customs, a dismantled or non-assembled article falling within Chapter 84 or 85 of the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) is imported by instalments on the conditions laid down by the appropriate authorities, it shall be considered to be a single article and a certificate of origin Form A may be submitted for the whole article upon importation of the first instalment.

5. Accessories, spare parts and tools dispatched with a piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle which are part of the normal equipment and included in the price thereof or are not separately invoiced shall be regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.

6. Sets in the sense of the General Rule 3 of the CCC nomenclature shall be regarded as originating when all component articles are originating products.

2. Importations which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as importations by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view.

Furthermore, the total value of these products must not exceed 90 EUA in the case of small packages or 285 EUA in the case of the contents of travellers' personal luggage.

Article 10

1. Products sent from a beneficiary country for exhibition in another country and sold for importation into the Community shall benefit on importation from the tariff preferences specified in Article 1 on condition that the products meet the requirements of this Regulation entitling them to be recognized as originating in the exporting beneficiary country and provided that it is shown to the satisfaction of the appropriate Community customs authorities that:

Article 11

The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the certificate and those made in the documents produced to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto render the certificate null and void, provided it is duly established that the certificate corresponds to the products concerned.

Article 12

1. Subsequent verifications of certificates Form A and Form APR shall be carried out at random or whenever the appropriate customs authorities in the Community have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the document or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.

2. For the purpose of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the appropriate customs authorities in the Community shall return the certificate Form A or the Form APR to the appropriate governmental authority in the exporting beneficiary country, giving where appropriate the reasons of form or substance for an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to Form APR. The customs authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or the said form are inaccurate.

If the said authorities decide to suspend the tariff preferences specified in Article 1 pending the results of the verification, they shall offer to release the products to the importer subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary.

Article 20

The certificate shall be available to the exporter as soon as exportation is actually carried out or when it is certain that it will be carried out.

Article 21

Article 22

It shall always be possible to replace one or more certificates of origin Form A by one or more other such certificates, provided that this is done at the customs office in the Community where the products are located.

Section III

Methods of administrative cooperation

Article 26

The beneficiary countries shall send the Commission of the European Communities the names and addresses of the governmental authorities who may issue certificates of origin together with specimens of stamps used by these authorities.

1. When an application for subsequent verification has been made in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 of Title I, such verification shall be carried out and its results communicated to the appropriate customs authorities in the Community within a maximum of six months.

2. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply in the six months set out in the paragraph above or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products, a second communication shall be sent to the authorities concerned. If after the second communication, the results of the verification are not communicated as soon as possible or at the latest within four months to the requesting authorities, or if these results do not permit the determination of the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products, the requesting authorities shall refuse, except in the case of force majeure or in exceptional circumstances, any benefit from the generalized preferences.

Article 28

1. Subject as provided in Article 29 (2), the attestations of authenticity provided for in Articles 1 (3) and 8 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3321/80 shall be given in box 7 of the certificate of origin Form A provided for in this Regulation.
