Revised explanatory notes concerning Annex III — Definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation — to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part

(2005/C 56/05)

Article 17 — Technical reasons

A movement certificate EUR.1 may be rejected for ‘technical reasons’ because it was not made out in the prescribed manner. These are the cases which may give rise to subsequent presentation of a retrospectively-endorsed certificate and they include, by way of example, the following:

| — | the movement certificate EUR.1 has been made out on a form other than the prescribed one (e.g. no guilloche background, differs significantly from the model in size or colour, no serial number, not printed in one of the officially-prescribed languages), |
| --- | --- |

| --- | --- |

—

the entry in Box 5 refers to a country that does not belong to the Agreement (e.g. Israel or Cuba).

Action to be taken:

The document should be marked ‘DOCUMENT NOT ACCEPTED’, stating the reason(s), and then returned to the importer in order to enable him to get a new document issued retrospectively. The customs authorities, however, may keep a photocopy of the rejected document for the purposes of post-clearance verification or if they have grounds for suspecting fraud.

Article 31 — Refusal of preferential treatment without verification

This covers cases in which the proof of origin is considered inapplicable, inter alia, for the following reasons:

| --- | --- |

Action to be taken:

The proof of origin should be marked ‘INAPPLICABLE’ and retained by the customs authorities to which it was presented in order to prevent any further attempt to use it. Without prejudice to legal actions initiated according to internal legislation, the customs authorities of the importing country shall inform, where it is appropriate to do so, the customs or competent governmental authorities of the country of exportation about the refusal without delay.
