DECISION No 1/2022 OF THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COUNCIL

of 15 March 2022

amending Protocol 3 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation [2022/1476]

THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, and in particular Article 4 of Protocol 3 thereto concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 28 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), refers to Protocol 3 to the Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (‘Protocol 3’), which lays down the rules of origin. |

(1)

Article 28 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), refers to Protocol 3 to the Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (‘Protocol 3’), which lays down the rules of origin.

| (2) | Article 4 of Protocol 3 provides that the Association Council established by Article 89 of the Agreement may decide to amend the provisions of Protocol 3. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Article 4 of Protocol 3 provides that the Association Council established by Article 89 of the Agreement may decide to amend the provisions of Protocol 3.

| (3) | Following the adoption of Council Decision (EU) 2020/2067 (1) on the position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Association Council as regards the amendment of the Agreement by replacing Protocol 3, the Association Council adopted Decision No 1/2021 (2) replacing Protocol 3 with a new text. |

Following the adoption of Council Decision (EU) 2020/2067 (1) on the position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Association Council as regards the amendment of the Agreement by replacing Protocol 3, the Association Council adopted Decision No 1/2021 (2) replacing Protocol 3 with a new text.

| (4) | Protocol 3 contains, on the one hand, a dynamic reference to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (3) (‘the PEM Convention’), making the PEM Convention applicable between the Union and Jordan, and, on the other hand, the transitional rules that have been applicable as an alternative set of rules of origin to those laid down in the current PEM Convention since 1 September 2021. |

As part of the Union’s support for Jordan in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis, in July 2016 the Union and Jordan agreed to temporarily relax rules of origin applying to exports of Jordanian products to the Union under the Agreement.

| (6) | Consequently, the EU-Jordan Association Committee adopted Decision No 1/2016 (4) to amend the provisions of Protocol 3 as regards the definition of the concept of originating products’ and to supplement the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in the territory of Jordan and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status. |

| (7) | In December 2017, Jordan presented the first annual report on the implementation of the rules of origin scheme established by Decision No 1/2016 and made a number of requests for further relaxation of the scheme. In December 2018, having examined Jordan’s requests, the Council, on behalf of the Union, considered the requests justified and agreed to further relax certain requirements of the rules of origin scheme, for example by abandoning the zone requirement, setting a requirement that for each production facility 15 % of the total workforce be Syrian, and extending the duration of the scheme until 31 December 2030. |

| --- | --- |

2.

| --- | --- |

9.

E.   Temporary suspension
