JOINT COMMITTEE DECISION No 1/77 of 19 December 1977 supplementing and amending Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation and replacing certain Joint Committee Decisions
THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972,
Having regard to Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation, and in particular Articles 16 and 28 thereof,
Whereas, for the purposes of implementing the Agreement, the rules of origin laid down as regards both the conditions under which products acquire the status of originating products and proof of such status and the detailed rules for verifying it in accordance with the said Protocol have been amended by a number of Joint Committee Decisions ; whereas other Decisions of the said Committee have introduced certain procedures simplifying implementation of that Protocol;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate for the proper functioning of the Agreement to incorporate in a single text all the provisions in question with a view to facilitating the work of users and customs administrations;
Whereas, furthermore, the Customs Cooperation Council
has adopted a recommendation amending the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature (hereinafter referred to as "the Nomenclature") ; whereas Lists A and B set out in Annexes II and III to Protocol 3 should accordingly be amended and a specific rule on the origin of goods put up in sets introduced,
HAD DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
The text of Title II of Protocol 3 is hereby replaced by the following:
"TITLE II
Methods of administrative cooperation
Article 8
1. Originating products within the meaning of this Protocol shall, on importation into the Community or into Iceland, benefit from the Agreement upon submission of one of the following documents: (a) an EUR.1 movement certificate, hereinafter referred to as "an EUR.1 certificate", a specimen of which is given in Annex V to this Protocol ; or
(b) a form EUR.2, a specimen of which is given in Annex VI to this Protocol, for consignments consisting only of originating products and provided the value does not exceed 1 500 units of account per consignment.
2. The following shall be admitted as originating products within the meaning of this Protocol, without it being necessary to produce either of the documents referred to in paragraph 1: (a) products sent as small packages to private persons, provided that the value of the products does not exceed 100 units of account;
(b) products forming part of travellers' personal luggage, provided that the value of the products does not exceed 300 units of account.
These provisions shall be applied only when such goods are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the conditions required for the application of the Agreement, and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such declaration.
Importations which are occasional and consist solely of goods 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 goods that no commercial purpose is in view.
3. The unit of account (u.a.) has a value of 0 788867088 gram of fine gold. Should the unit of account be changed, the Contracting Parties shall make contact with each other at Joint Committee level to redefine the value in terms of gold.
4. 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 are regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.
5. Sets within the meaning of General Rule 3 of the Nomenclature shall be regarded as originating when all component articles are originating products. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating articles, the set as a whole shall be regarded as originating provided that the value of the non-originating articles does not exceed 15 % of the total value of the set.
Article 9
1. An EUR.1 certificate shall be issued by the customs authorities of the exporting State when the goods to which it relates are exported. It shall be made available to the exporter as soon as actual exportation has been effected or ensured.
2. The EUR.1 certificate shall be issued by the customs authorities of a Member State of the European Economic Community if the goods to be exported can be considered as products originating in the Community within the meaning of Article 1 (1) of this Protocol. The EUR.1 certificate shall be issued by the customs authorities of Iceland if the goods to be exported can be considered as products originating in Iceland within the meaning of Article 1 (2) of this Protocol.
3. The customs authorities of the Member States of the Community or Iceland may issue EUR.1 certificates under the conditions laid down in the Agreements referred to in Article 2 of this Protocol if the goods to be exported can be considered as products originating in the Community, in Iceland or in Austria, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden or Switzerland within the meaning of Article 2 and, where applicable, Article 3 of this Protocol and provided that the goods covered by the EUR.1 certificates are in the Community or in Iceland.
Where Article 2, and where appropriate, Article 3 of this Protocol are applied, the EUR.1 certificates shall be issued by the customs authorities of each of the countries concerned where the goods have either been held before their re-exportation in the same state or undergone the working or processing referred to in Article 2 of this Protocol, upon presentation of the EUR.1 certificates issued previously.
4. An EUR.1 certificate may be issued only where it can serve as the documentary evidence required for the purpose of implementing the preferential treatment provided for in the Agreement.
The date of issue of the EUR.1 certificate must be indicated in the box on the EUR.1 certificate reserved for the customs authorities.
5. In exceptional circumstances an EUR.1 certificate may also be issued after exportation of the goods to which it relates if it was not issued at the time of exportation because of errors, involuntary omissions or special circumstances.
The customs authorities may issue an EUR.1 certificate retrospectively only after verifying that the particulars supplied in the exporter's application agree with those on the corresponding document.
EUR.1 certificates issued retrospectively must be endorsed with one of the following phrases : "NACHTRÄGLICH AUSGESTELLT", "DÉLIVRÉ A POSTERIORI", "RILASCIATO A POSTERIORI", "AFGEGEVEN A POSTERIORI", "ISSUED RETROSPECTIVELY", "UDSTEDT EFTERFØLGENDE", "ANNETTU JÄLKIKÄTEEN", "UTGEFID EFTIRA", "UTSTEDT SENERE", "EMITIDO A POSTERIORI", "UTFÄRDAT I EFTERHAND".

The duplicate issued in this way must be endorsed with one of the following words : "DUPLIKAT", "DUPLICATA", "DUPLICATO", "DUPLICAAT", "DUPLICATE", "KAKSOISKAPPALE", "SAMRIT", "SEGUNDA VIA".
The duplicate, which must bear the date of issue of the original EUR.1 certificate, shall take effect as from that date.
7. The endorsements referred to in paragraphs 5 and 6 shall be inserted in the "Remarks" box on the EUR.1 certificate.
8. It shall always be possible to replace one or more EUR.1 certificates by one or more EUR.1 certificates, provided that this is done at the customs office where the goods are located.

2. It shall be the responsibility of the customs authorities of the exporting country to ensure that the form referred to in paragraph 1 is properly completed. In particular, they shall check whether the box reserved for the description of the goods has been completed in such a manner as to exclude any possibility of fraudulent additions. To this end, the description of the goods must be given without leaving any blank lines. Where the box is not completely filled a horizontal line must be drawn below the last line of the description, the empty space being crossed through.
3. Since the EUR.1 certificate constitutes the documentary evidence for the application of the preferential tariff and quota arrangements laid down in the Agreement, it shall be the responsibility of the customs authorities of the exporting country to take any steps necessary to verify the origin of the goods and to check the other statements on the certificate.
4. The exporter or his representative shall submit with his request any appropriate supporting document proving that the goods to be exported qualify for the issue of an EUR.1 certificate.

- certify that no EUR.1 certificate was issued at the time of exportation of the goods in question, and state the reasons.

It shall also bear a serial number, whether or not printed, by which it can be identified.
Article 12
1. An EUR.1 certificate must be submitted, within four months of the date of issue by the customs authorities of the exporting State, to the customs authorities of the importing State where the goods are entered, in accordance with the procedure laid down by that State.

They may also require the import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from the importer to the effect that the goods meet the conditions required for the implementation of the Agreement.

Without prejudice to Article 5 (3) of this Protocol, where, at the request of the person declaring the goods at customs a dismantled or non-assembled article falling within Chapter 84 or 85 of the Nomenclature is imported by instalments under the conditions laid down by the competent authorities, it shall be considered to be a single article and an EUR.1 certificate may be submitted for the whole article upon importation of the first instalment.
3. An EUR.1 certificate which is submitted to the customs authorities of the importing State after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to submit the certificate by the final date set is due to force majeure or exceptional circumstances.
In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing State may accept the EUR.1 certificates where the goods have been submitted to them before the said final date.
4. The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the EUR.1 certificate and those made in the documents submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the goods shall not ipso facto render the certificate null and void, provided it is duly established that the certificate corresponds to the goods.
5. EUR.1 certificates shall be preserved by the customs authorities of the importing State in accordance with the rules in force in that State.
6. Proof that the conditions set out in Article 7 of this Protocol have been met shall be provided by submission to the customs authorities of the importing State of either: (a) a single supporting transport document, made out in the exporting State, under the cover of which the transit country has been crossed ; or

3. The customs authorities of the importing State shall be informed of the results of the verification as soon as possible.
