EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. The'attached proposal for a Council and Commission Decision constitutes the legal 
instrument for the conclusion of a Europe Agreement between the European 
Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and with Slovenia, of the other 
part. 
2. Slovenia's, relations with the European Union are covered by the Cooperation 
Agreement which entered into force in September 1993 
Following the entry into force of the Cooperation Agreement and in response to the 
demand of Slovenia, the Union's Foreign Ministers gave the Commission in 
September 1993 the go-ahead to start talks with the Slovenian authorities aimed at 
exploring the scope of such an agreement. The negotiating directives were adopted 
by the Council on 6 March 1995 and the negotiations were launched on 15 March 
1995. The Agreement was initialed in Brussels on 15.6.1995, after one round of 
negotiations. 
3. The Agreement is preferential agreement, designed to establish a close, long-term 
association between, of the one part, the European Community, the European Atomic 
Energy Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and their Member 
States and Slovenia, of the other. 
This Agreement will replace the Cooperation Agreement between the EEC and 
Slovenia, which entered into force on September 1,1993. 
The Agreement will be concluded for an indeterminate duration. 
As far as trade and trade-related matters are concerned, the Agreement provides for a 
free trade zone, after a transitional period of 6 years. 
On the remaining matters, the Agreement largely follows the pattern of other Europe 
Agreements. 
The Agreement provides for a political dialogue between the European Union and 
Slovenia within the multilateral framework established with the associated countries 
of Central Europe and within the Association Council. 
The Agreement includes similar provisions with the other Europe Agreements on 
establishment , supply of services, on movement of capital, on economic, cultural, 
financial cooperation, and on cooperation on the prevention of illegal activities. 
The Agreement includes special provisions in the field of transport, movement of 
workers (joint declaration) and a new title relating to the Osimo Agreements and 
economic cooperation between Italy and Slovenia 
In the transport sector, the Europe Agreement maintains the existing Transport 
Agreement between the EEC and Slovenia which covers land transport. Regarding 
other transport modes, the Europe Agreement includes similar provisions to the ones 
foreseen in other Europe agreements. 
4. The procedures for the conclusion of the Agreement are different for the three 
European Communities (European Community, European Atomic Energy Community 
and European Coal and Steel Community): 
- the Council concludes the Agreement on behalf of the European Community, after 
having received the assent of the European Parliament, by virtue of Article 238 of the 
Treaty; 
- the Council approves the Agreement on behalf of the European Atomic Energy 
Community by virtue of the second subparagraph of Article 101 of the EURATOM 
Treaty and the Agreement is then concluded by the Commission; 
- the Commission concludes the Agreement on behalf of the European Coal and Steel 
Community, by virtue of Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, with the unanimous assent of 
the Council and following consultation of the Consultative Committee. 
The Commission, having proceeded to the initialing of the proposed agreement, asks 
the Council to approve the results of the negotiations and to engage the procedure 
aimed to its signature. 
Moreover, the Commission proposes, in line with the solution which has been 
followed in the case of the conclusion of the other Europe Agreements, to conclude 
after signature the Agreement by the means of the adoption of the attached draft 
decision of the Council and the Commission. 
Besides ratification by all Member States is a prerequisite for the entry into force of 
the Agreement.

t; , 
LS 
V 
-fog 
2. Any practice contrary to the provisions of this Article shall be assessed on the 
basis of criteria arising from the application of the rules contained in Articles 65 
and 66 of the ECSC Treaty and Article 85 of the EC Treaty and of the rules on 
s,tate aid, including secondary legislation. 
3. Within three years of the Agreement's entry into force, the Association Council 
shall adopt the necessary rules for the implementation of paragraphs 1 and 2. 
4. The Parties shall recognize that as a derogation from the provisions of 
paragraph l(iii) Slovenia may exceptionally, for the first five years following the 
Agreement's entry into force, grant state aid for restructuring purposes in 
connection with ECSC steel products, provided that: 
- the aid helps the recipient firms to achieve viability under normal market 
conditions by the end of the restructuring period; 
~ the amount and degree of aid provided are limited to what is strictly 
necessary to restore viability and are progressively reduced; 
- the restructuring programme is linked to a global rationalization and 
capacity-reduction plan for Slovenia. 
5. Each Party shall ensure transparency with regard to state aid by conducting a full 
and continuous exchange of information with the other Party on the amount, 
degree and aim of the aid and by including in that information a detailed 
restructuring plan. 
6. If the Community or Slovenia consider that a particular practice is incompatible 
with the terms of paragraph 1, as amended by paragraph 4, and: 
it is not suitably dealt with by the implementing rules referred to in 
paragraph 3, or 
no such rules exist, and the practice is causing or threatening to cause 
harm to the interests of the other Party or material injury to its domestic 
industry, 
the injured Party may take* appropriate measures if consultations lasting a 
maximum of thirty working days fail to find a solution. Such consultations must 
be held within thirty days of being officially requested. 
In the case of practices which are incompatible with the terms of paragraph l(iii), 
the appropriate measures in question may be implemented only in the manner and 
under the conditions laid down by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 
(GATT) or in accordance with any other appropriate instrument applicable 
between the Parties and negotiated under GATT auspices. 
ARTICLE 8 
The provisions of Articles 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the Agreement shall apply to trade in

PROTOCOL 3 
On trade between Slovenia and the Community in processed agricultural products. 
Article 1 
1. The Community and Slovenia will apply to processed agricultural products the 
duties listed in Annex 1 and Annex II respectively in accordance with the conditions 
mentioned therein. 
2. The Association Council will decide on: 
- the extension of the list of processed agricultural products under the present protocol 
- the amendment of the duties mentioned in the Annexes 
- the increase or abolition of tariff quotas 
3. The Association Council may replace the duties established by the present 
Protocol by a regime established on the basis of the respective market prices of the 
Community and Slovenia of the agricultural products actually used in the manufacture of 
processed agricultural products subject to the present Protocol. It will establish the list of 
goods subject to these amounts and as a consequence, the list of basic products; to this 
end, it will decide the general rules of application. 
Article 2 
The duties applied conforming to Article 1 may be reduced by decision of the Association 
Council: 
- when in trade between the Community and Slovenia the duties applied to the basic 
agricultural products are reduced, or 
- in response to reductions resulting from mutual concessions relating to processed 
agricultural products. 
The reductions provided for under the first indent will be calculated on the part of the 
duty designated as the agricultural component which shall correspond to the agricultural 
products actually used in the manufacture of the processed agricultural products in 
question and deducted from the duties applied to these basic agricultural products. 
12. 
Article 3 
The Community and Slovenia will inform each other of the administrative arrangements 
adopted for the products covered by this Protocol. 
These arrangements should ensure equal treatment for all interested parties and should be 
as simple and flexible as possible.

JL*> 
f2LS 
2. Notwithstanding Article 2 (2) (b), materials originating in the Community within the 
meaning of this Protocol shall be considered as materials originating in Slovenia and 
it shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone working or processing, 
provided however that they have undergone working or processing going beyond 
that referred to in Article 6 of this Protocol. 
Article 4 
Wholly obtained products 
1. The following shall be considered as wholly obtained either in the Community or in 
Slovenia. 
(a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed; 
(b) vegetable products harvested there; 
(c) live animals born and raised there; 
(d) products from live animals raised there;

(j) products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters 
provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil; 
(k) goods produced exclusively from products specified in subparagraphs (a) to (j). 
2. The terms 'their vessels' and 'their factory ships' in paragraph 1 (f) and (g) shall apply 
only to vessels and factory ships: 
- which are registered or recorded in Slovenia or in a Member State of the 
Community, 
- which sail under the flag of Slovenia or of a Member State of the Community, 
y \ 
123 
- which are owned to an extent of at least 50 per cent by nationals of Slovenia or of a 
Member States of the Community, or by a company with its head office in one of 
these States or in Slovenia, of which the manager or managers, chairman of the 
bbard of directors or the supervisory board, and the majority of the members of 
such boards are nationals of Slovenia or of Member States of the Community and 
of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half 
the capital belongs to these States, to Slovenia, to their public bodies or to their 
nationals, 
of which the master and officers are nationals of Slovenia or of Member States of the 
Community,

Sea-going vessels, including factory ships on which the fish caught is worked or 
processed, shall be considered as part of the territory of the Community or of 
Slovenia provided that they satisfy the conditions set out in paragraph 2. 
Article 5 
Sufficiently worked or processed products 
1. For the purposes of Article 2, non-originating materials are considered to be 
sufficiently worked or processed when the product obtained is classified in a heading 
which is different from that in which all the non-originating materials used in its 
manufacture are classified, subject to paragraph 2 and Article 6. 
2. For a product mentioned in columns 1 and 2 of the list in Annex II, the conditions 
set out in column 3 for the product concerned must be fulfilled instead of the rule in 
paragraph 1. 
Where in the list in Annex II a percentage rule is applied in determining the 
originating status of a product obtained in the Community or in Slovenia the value 
added by the working or processing shall correspond to the ex-works price of the 
product obtained, less the value of third-country materials imported into the 
Community or Slovenia. 
3. These conditions indicate, for all products covered by the Agreement, the working or 
processing which must be carried out on the non-originating materials used in the 
manufacture of these products, and apply only in relation to such materials. 
Accordingly, it follows that if a product, which has acquired originating status by 
fulfilling the conditions set out in the list for that product, is used in the manufacture 
of another product, the conditions applicable to the product in which it is 
incorporated do not apply to it, and no account shall be taken of the non-originating 
materials which may have been used in its manufacture.

AlO 
Article 6 
Insufficient working or processing operations 
» 
The following operations shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to 
confer the status of originating products, whether or not the requirements of Article 5 are 
satisfied: 
(a) operations to ensure the preservation of products in good condition during transport 
and storage (ventilation, spreading out, drying, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur 
dioxide or other aqueous solutions, removal of damaged parts, and like operation); 
(b) simple operations consisting of removal of dust, sifting or screening, sorting, 
classifying, matching (including the making-up of sets of articles), washing, 
painting, cutting up; 
(c) (i) changes of packaging and breaking up and assembly of packages; 
(ii) simple placing in bottles, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards,

components of the mixtures do not meet the conditions laid down in this Protocol to 
enable them to be considered as originating in the Community or in Slovenia; 
(f) simple assembly of parts to constitute a complete product; 
(g) a combination of two or more operations specified in subparagraphs (a) to (f); 
(h) slaughter of animals. 
Article 7 
Unit of qualification 
1. The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be 
the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining 
classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System. 
Accordingly, it follows that: 
(a) when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under 
the terms of the Harmonized System in a single heading, the whole constitutes 
the unit of qualification; 
/' 
\ 
M 
(b) when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under 
the same heading of the Harmonized System, each product must be taken 
individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol. 
2. Where, under general rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packaging is included with 
the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of 
determining origin. 
Article 8 
Accessories, spare parts and tools 
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 which are not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of 
equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question. 
Article 9 
Sets 
Sets, as defined in general rule 3 of the Harmonized System, shall be regarded as 
originating when all component products are originating. Nevertheless, when a set is 
composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall be 
regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not 
exceed 15 per cent of the ex-works price of the set. 
Article 10 
Neutral elements 
In order to determine whether a product originates in the Community or in Slovenia it 
shall not be necessary to establish whether the electrical energy, fuel, plant and 
equipment as well as machines and tools used to obtain such product, or whether any 
goods, used in the course of production which do not enter and which were not intended 
to enter into the final composition of the product, are originating or not.

1. Amounts in the national currency of the exporting country equivalent to the amounts 
expressed in ECUs shall be fixed by the exporting country and communicated to the 
other Contracting Parties. 
When the amounts exceed the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing 
country, the latter shall accept them if the products are invoiced in the currency of 
the exporting country. 
If the goods are invoiced in the currency of another Member State of the Community 
the importing State shall recognize the amount notified by the country concerned. 
2. Up to and including 30 April 2000, the amounts to be used in any given national 
currency shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the amounts expressed in 
ECUs as at 1 October 1994. 
For each successive period of five years, the amounts expressed in ECUs and their 
equivalents in the national currencies of the States shall be reviewed by the 
Association Committee on the basis of the exchange rates of the ECU as at the first 
working day in October in the year immediately preceding that five-years period. 
When carrying out this review, the Association Committee shall ensure that there 
will be no decrease in the amounts to be used in any national currency and shall 
furthermore consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned 
in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in 
ECUs.

Article 29 
Verification of movement certificates EUR.1 and of forms EUR2 
1. Subsequent verification of movement certificates EUR.1 and forms EUR.2 shall be 
carried out randomly or whenever the customs authorities of the importing state have 
reasoned to doubt the authenticity of such documents, the originating status of the 
products concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 
2. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs 
authorities of the importing country shall return the movement certificate EUR.1, the 
Form EUR.2, or a copy of these documents, to the customs authorities of the 
exporting country giving, where appropriate, the reasons of substance or form for an 
inquiry. 
They shall forward, in support of the request for subsequent verification, any 
documents and information that have been obtained suggesting that the information 
given on the movement certificate EUR. 1 or the form EUR.2 is incorrect. 
3. The verification shall be carried out by the customs authorities of the exporting 
country. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to 
carry out any inspection of the exporter's accounts or any other check which they 
consider appropriate. 
4. If the customs authorities of the importing country decide to suspend the granting of 
preferential treatment to the products concerned while awaiting the results of the 
verification, they shall offer to release the products to the importer subject to any 
precautionary measures judged necessary. 
5. The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of 
this verification within a maximum of ten months. These results must indicate 
clearly whether the documents are authentic and whether the products concerned can 
be considered as originating products and fulfil the other requirements of this 
Protocol. 
6. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months or if the reply 
does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document 
in question or the real origin of the products, the requesting customs authorities shall, 
except in the case of force majeure or in exceptional circumstances, refuse 
entitlement to the preferences. 
Article 30 
Dispute settlement 
Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 29 which cannot 
be settled between the customs authorities requesting a verification and the customs 
authorities responsible for carrying out this verification or where they raise a question as 
v^.

to the interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be submitted to the Association 
Committee. 
In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of 
the importing State shall be under the legislation of the said State. 
Article 31 
Penalties 
Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes to be drawn up, a 
document which contains incorrect information for the purpose of obtaining a preferential 
treatment for products. 
Article 32 
Free zones 
1. The Member States and Slovenia shall take all necessary steps to ensure that 
products traded under cover of a movement certificate EUR. 1, which in the course of 
transport use a free zone situated in their territory, are not substituted by other goods 
and that they do not undergo handling other than normal operations designed to 
prevent their deterioration. 
2. By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products 
originating in the Community or in Slovenia and imported into a free zone under 
cover of an EUR. 1 certificate and undergo treatment or processing, the authorities 
concerned must issue a new EUR.1 certificate at the exporter's request, if the 
treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this 
protocol.

ANNEX I 
INTRODUCTORY NOTES 
Foreword 
These notes shall apply, where appropriate, to all manufactured products using non-originating matenais, 
even if they are not subject to specific conditions contained in the list in Annex II but are sub|ecr instead to 
the change of heading rule set out in .Article 5 (1). 
Note 1 
1.1. The first two columns m rhc list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading 
number, or the chapter number, used in the Harmonized System and the second column gives the 
description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the tirsc two 
columns a rule is specified in column 3. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded 
by an 'ex', this signifies that the rule in column 3 only applies to the part of that heading or chapter as 
described in column 2. 
1.2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and 
the description of product in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rule in column 
3 applies to all products which, under the Harmonized System, arc classified within headings of the 
chapter or within any of the headings grouped together in column 1. 
1.3. Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent 
contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rule in column j. 
Note 2 , v 
2.2. In the case of any heading not in the list or any part of a heading rhac is not in the list, the 'change of 
heading' rule se: out in Article 6(1) applies. If a 'change of heading' condition applies to any entry in 
the list, then it is contained in the rule in column 3. 
2.2. The working or processing required by a rule in column 3 has to be carried out only in relation to the 
non-originating materials used. The restrictions contained in a rule in column 3 likewise apply only to 
the non-originating materials used. 
2.3. Where a rule states that 'materials of any heading' may be used, materials of the same heading as the 
producr may also be used, subiect. however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in 
the rule. However, the expression 'manufacture from materials of any heading, including other 
materials of heading No . . .' means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product 
of a different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used. 
2.4. If a product made from non-originating materials which has acquired originating status during 
manufacture by virtue of the change of heading rule or its own list rule is used as a material in the 
process of manufacture of another product, then the rule applicable to the product in which it is 
incorporated does not apply to it. 
For example: 
An engine of heading No 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating 
materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40% of the ex-works price, is made from 'other 
alloy steel roughly shaped by forging' of heading No 7224. 
If this forging has been forged in the country concerned from a non-originating ingot then the forging 
has already acquired origin by virtue of the rule for heading No ex 7224 in the list. It can then count 
as originating in the value calculation for the engine regardless of whether it was produced in the same 
factory or another. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding 
up the value of the non-originating materials used. 
<o 
-1^ 
2-5. Even if the change of heading rule or the other rules contained in the list are satisfied, a product shall 
not acquire originating status if the processing carried out, taken as a whole, is insufficient within the 
meaning of .Article 6. 
Note 3 
3.1. The rule in the list represents the minimum amount of working or processing required and the 
carrying out of more working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying 
out of less working or processing cannot confer origin. Thus if a rule says that non-originating 
material at a certain level of manufacture may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of 
manufacture is allowed and the use of such material at a later stage is not. 
3.2. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, 
this means that any one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used. 
For example: 
The rule for fabrics say that natural fibres may be used and that chemical materials, among other 
materials, may also be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; one can use one or the 
other or both. * 
If, however, a restriction applies to one material and other restrictions apply to other materials in the 
same rule, then the restrictions only apply to the materials actually used. 
For example: 
The rule for sewing machines specifies that both the thread tension mechanism used and the zigzag 
mechanism used must originate; these two restrictions only apply if the mechanisms concerned arc 
actually incorporated into the sewing machine. 
3.3. When a rule in the list specitics that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the 
condition obviously does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent 
nature, cannot satisfy the rule. 
For example: 
The rule for heading No 1904 which specifically excludes the use of cereals or their derivatives does 
not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which arc not produced from 
cereals. 
For example: 
In the case of an article made from non-woven materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is 
allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth — even if non-woven 
cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting material would normally be at 
the stage before yarn — that is the fibre stage. 
See also Note 6.3 in relation to textiles. 
3.4. If in a rule in the list two or more percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating 
materials that can be used, then these percentages may not be added together. The maximum value of 
all the non-originating materials used may' never exceed the highest of the percentages given. 
Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials 
they apply to. 
Note 4 
4.1. The term 'natural fibres' is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres and 
is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and; unless otherwise specified, 
the term 'natural fibres' includes fibres that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not 
spun. 
4.2. The term 'natural fibres' includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of heading Nos 5002 and 5003 
as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, the cocton fibres 
of heading Nos 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305. 
•^ jy B 
14* 
4.3. The terms 'textile pulp', 'chemical materials' and 'paper-making materials' are used in the list to 
» describe the materials not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, which can be used to manufacture artificial, 
synthetic or paper fibres or yarns. 
4.4. The term 'man-made staple fibres' is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, 
staple fibres or waste, of headings Nos 5501 to 5507. 
Note 5 
5.1. In the case of the products classified within those headings in the list to which a reference is made to 
this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 of the list shall not be applied to any basic textile 
materials used in their manufacture which, taken together, represent 10% or less of the total weight 
oi all the basic textile materials used (but see also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below). 
5.2. However, this tolerance may only be applied to mixed products which have been made from two or 
more basic textile materials. 
The following are the basic textile materials: 
— silk, 
— wool, 
— coarse animal hair, 
— fine animal hair, 
— horsehair, 
— cotton, 
— paper-making materials and paper, 
— flax, 
— true hemp, 
— jute and other textile bast fibres, 
— sisal and othet textile fibres of the genus Agave, 
— coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres, 
— synthetic man-made filaments, 
— artificial man-made filaments, 
— synthetic man-made staple fibres, 
— artificial man-made staple fibres. 
For example: 
A yarn of heading No 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading No 5203 and synthetic staple fibres 
of heading No 5506 is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres that do not 
satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be 
used up to a weight of 10% of the yarn. 
For example: 
A woollen fabric of heading No 5112 made from woollen yarn of heading No 5107 and synthetic 
yarn of staple fibres of heading No 5509 is a mixed fabric. Therefore synthetic yarn which does not 
satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen 
yarn rhat does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, nor carded 
or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used up to a 
weight of 10% of the fabric. 
For example: 
Tufted textile fabric of heading No 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and cotton 
fabric of heading No 5210 is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being 
made from yarns classified in two separate headings or if the cotton yarns used are themselves 
mixtures. 
For example: 
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and 
synthetic fabric of heading No 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile 
materials and the tufted textile fabric is accordingly a mixed product. 
tf 
443 
For example: 
A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns and with a jute backing is a 
mixed product because three basic textile materials are used. Thus, any non-originating materials that 
are at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be used, provided their total weight taken 
together does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the textile materials in the carpet. Thus, both the jute 
backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage of manufacture, provided the weight 
conditions are met. 
5.3. In the case of fabrics incorporating 'yarn made of polyurcthane segmented with flexible segments of 
polyether whether or not gimped' this tolerance is 20% in respect of this yarn. 
5.4. In the case of fabrics incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic 
film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by 
means of an adhesive between two films of plastic film, this tolerance is 30% in respect of this 
strip. 
Note 6 
6.1. In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this note, 
textile materials with the exception of linings and intcrlinings which do not satisfy the rule set out in 
the list in column 3 for the made up products concerned may be used provided that they are classified 
in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8% of the ex-works 
price of the product. 
6.2. Materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely, whether or not they 
contain textiles. 
Example: 
If a rule in the list provides that for a particular textile item, such as trousers, yarn must be used, this 
does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within 
Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners even though 
slide-fasteners normally contain textiles. 
6.3. Where a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and accessories must be taken into account 
when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.

(a) vacuum distillation; 
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process ('); 
(c) cracking; 
(d) reforming; 
(c) extraction by means of selective solvents; 
(f) the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, 
oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralization with alkaline agents; decolorization and purification 
with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

7.2. For the purposes of heading Nos 2710, 2711 and 2712, the 'specific processes' are the following: 
(a) vacuum distillation; 
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process; 
(c) cracking; 
(d) reforming; 
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;

(ij) isomerization; 
(k) (in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only) desulphurization with hydrogen 
resulting in a reduction of at least 85% of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM 
D 1266-59 T method); 
(I) (in respect of products falling within heading No 2710 only), deparaffining by a process other 
than filtering; 
(m) (in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only) treatment with hydrogen at a 
pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 °C with the use of a catalyst, 
other than to effect desulphurizadon, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a 
chemical reaction. The further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating oils of heading No ex 2710 
(e.g. hydrofinishing or decolorization) in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability 
shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process; 
(n) (in respect of fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only) atmospheric distillation, on 
condition that less than 30% of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C by 
the ASTM D 86 method; 
(o) (in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only) 
treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge. 
7.3. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple 
operations such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marketing 
obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing products' with different sulphur contents, any 
combination of these operations or like operations do not confer origin.

JOINT DECLARATION 
CONCERNING PROTOCOL N°4 
Slovenia fully supports the European Union's strategy to unify rules of origin in 
preferential trade between the Community, the Central and East European countries and 
the EFTA countries, set out in the conclusions or the European Council's Summit at 
Essen in December 1994. 
The Community and Slovenia are of the opinion that the successful implementation of a 
system of diagonal cumulation between the Community and all associated countries in 
Central and Eastern Europe would be dependent on the associated countries all agreeing 
on one system and on concluding an agreement between themselves. The parties will 
seek the addition of Slovenia to the system once these basic conditions have been 
fulfilled.
