DECISION No 1/2016 OF THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE

of 19 July 2016

amending the provisions of 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 the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in dedicated development zones and industrial areas, and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status [2016/1436]

THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE,

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 (‘the Agreement’), and in particular Article 94 of the Agreement and Article 39 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement,

Whereas:

| (1) | The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (‘Jordan’) submitted proposals to the international community for a holistic approach for an economic response to the Syrian refugee crisis and, as part of this initiative, made a specific request on 12 December 2015 for a relaxation of the rules of origin applied under the Agreement so as to enhance Jordan's exports to the Union and create additional employment opportunities, especially for Syrian refugees as well as Jordanians. |

| (2) | In the framework of the International Conference on Supporting Syria and the Region, held in London on 4 February 2016, Jordan declared its intention to promote the participation of Syrian refugees in the formal labour market in Jordan and, in that context, to provide 50 000 job opportunities for Syrian refugees within one year of the Conference and the overall objective to increase this level to approximately 200 000 job opportunities over the next years. |

| (3) | A temporary relaxation of applicable rules of origin would allow for certain goods produced in Jordan to be subject to less stringent rules of origin for the purpose of determining preferential treatment on import into the Union than would otherwise apply. This temporary relaxation of applicable rules of origin would be part of the Union's support to Jordan in the context of the Syrian crisis and with the aim of mitigating the costs imposed by hosting a large number of Syrian refugees. |
