COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 530/2013

of 10 June 2013

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (2) provides for tariff preferences that apply from 1 January 2014. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012, in order to benefit from the tariff preferences, the products for which the tariff preferences are claimed have to originate in a beneficiary country. |

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (2) provides for tariff preferences that apply from 1 January 2014. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012, in order to benefit from the tariff preferences, the products for which the tariff preferences are claimed have to originate in a beneficiary country.

| (2) | The rules of origin on the basis of which the Union scheme of generalised tariff preferences (‘the scheme’) is implemented were adapted in 2010 and are laid down in Articles 66 to 97w of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3). The changes provided for in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 concern, inter alia, the country coverage of the scheme and have thus an impact on certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, especially those regarding regional cumulation. Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should reflect those changes. |

| (3) | It is therefore necessary to provide that regional cumulation applies amongst countries in the same regional group only where they are, at the time of exportation of the product to the Union, beneficiaries of the scheme. |
