Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the position to be taken by the Union within the Joint Committee created by the Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, of the other part, with regard to the amendment of Annex II of Protocol 3, concerning the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status, pursuant to the entry into force of the Harmonised System 2007

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal

The World Customs Organisation (WCO) released its latest amendment to the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, generally referred to as "Harmonised System" (HS). This amendment took effect from 1 January 2007.

The HS nomenclature is a goods classification system used by more than 190 countries, including the European Union and its Member States, as a basis for their Customs tariffs and for the collection of international trade statistics.

The WCO is responsible for the HS and revises the system at regular intervals, every five years, to ensure it reflects changes in technology or in patterns of international trade.

The list rules contained in Annex II to the protocol on the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative co-operation (the origin protocol) included in the then Community agreements with third countries are based on the HS.

For the agreements in force, Annex II is based on the 2002 version of the HS. As some of the changes made at the 2007 version had an impact on the list rules, Annex II to the origin protocols has been amended in order to maintain the status quo in terms of rules of origin, since the revision of the HS is never intended to change the rules of origin.

The modifications concern seven chapters of the HS, namely 28 (chemicals), 30 (pharmaceutical products), 38 (miscellaneous), 65 (hats and other headgear), 84 and 85 (machinery) and 95 (toys).

These amendments were discussed by the experts of the Pan-Euro-Med Working Group, which is composed of representatives of the European Commission, of the Member States, the EFTA countries (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland), the EFTA secretariat, Turkey, the Faeroe Islands, Andorra and San Marino and the countries which participate in the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, based on the Barcelona Declaration adopted in 1995.

General context

The 2007 revision of the HS had an impact on the preferential rules of origin. This lead to the amendment of the list rules contained in Annex II to the origin protocol of the then Community agreements with the following third countries: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, the Faroe Islands, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey (for agricultural products and for coal and steel products) and within the European Economic Area.

Annex II is the same in each of the origin protocols to the fore-mentioned agreements. The draft decisions to amend Annex II are adopted by the relevant association council or equivalent foreseen in the various agreements. For this reason, there is one Annex II and fourteen draft decisions here attached.

As regards the Community agreement with Switzerland, a decision of the Joint Committee amending the origin protocol pursuant to the amendments of the HS 2007 and to the latest enlargement of the European Union is currently being adopted by written procedure. As in accordance with the Additional Agreement concerning the validity for the Principality of Liechtenstein of the Agreement between the Community and Switzerland, this decision will apply likewise to Liechtenstein.

Apart from the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the Union also has bilateral agreements with Norway and Iceland containing an origin protocol, including Annex II. As a result, Annex II to these two origin protocols also needs to be adjusted.

Existing provisions in the area of the proposal

The origin protocols to the fore-mentioned Community agreements were last amended in order to extend the pan-European cumulation of origin to the Mediterranean countries.

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union

The proposed decisions are consistent with the Union policies concerning the importation or exportation of goods.

consultation of interested parties and impact assessment

Consultation of interested parties

Interested parties were consulted in the framework of the Pan-Euro-Med Working Group and the final text of this proposal is the result of the discussions within this Group.

Collection and use of expertise

There was no need for external expertise.

Impact assessment

There is no need for an impact assessment insofar as the amendments proposed are merely technical and do not modify the substance of the current origin protocol.

legal elements of the proposal

Summary of the proposed action

Annex II to the origin protocol to the fore-mentioned Community agreements with third countries, pursuant to the entry into force of the Harmonised System 2007, is amended and here entirely reproduced.

Legal basis

Article 207(4) first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Subsidiarity principle

The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Union. The subsidiarity principle therefore does not apply.

Proportionality principle

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s).

There is no other option in the present case. Therefore this is the simplest measure possible.

There is no extra financial and administrative burden.

Choice of in struments

Proposed instruments: Council decision

Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s).

The entry into force of the Harmonised System 2007 implies an amendment of the origin protocol. The amendment of the list rules, like the origin protocol and its annexes, shall be done by a decision of the association council or equivalent foreseen in each agreement.

budgetary implication

The proposal has no implication for the Union budget.

additional information

A review, revision or sunset clause is not foreseen.

COUNCIL DECISION

on the position to be taken by the Union within the Joint Committee created by the Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, of the other part, with regard to the amendment of Annex II of Protocol 3, concerning the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status, pursuant to the entry into force of the Harmonised System 2007

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4) first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

1. Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland[1], concerning the definition of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation contains in Annex II a list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status

2. The entry into force of the Harmonised System as of 1 January 2007 implies that this Protocol should be further adjusted, in particular its Annex II, which is here entirely reproduced.

3. It is therefore appropriate, for the proper functioning of the Agreement and with a view to facilitating the work of economic operators and customs administrations, to amend Annex II of Protocol 3 accordingly.

4. These amendments should be introduced by a decision of the Joint Committee established by the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland.

5. The Union should therefore take position in the Joint Committee as set out in the attached draft Decision

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The position to be taken by the Union within the Joint Committee created by the Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, of the other part, with regard to the amendment of Annex II of Protocol 3 concerning the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for the product manufactured to obtain originating status shall be based on the draft decision of the Joint Committee annexed to this Decision.

Article 2

The decision of the Joint Committee shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

DECISION OF THE EC-ICELAND JOINT COMMITTEE No

of

with regard to amending Annex II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland containing the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status

The Joint Committee,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, of the other part, and in particular Article 39 of Protocol 3;

Whereas:

6. Amendments were introduced as from 1 January 2007 into the Nomenclature governed by the Convention on the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonised System).

7. In view of the number of changes to be made in Annex II, clarity requires it to be replaced in its entirety.

8. As the amendments to the Harmonised System were not intended to change the rules of origin, Annex II of Protocol 3 maintain the status quo.

9. Given that the amendments to Annex II of Protocol 3 do not amount to a change of the status quo, Protocol No 3 as amended should apply retroactively from 1 January 2007.

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Annex II of Protocol 3 containing the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.

It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
