COMMISSION DECISION 
on the conclusion on behalf of the European Coal and Steel Community and the European 
Atomic Energy Community of the Agreement on free trade and trade-related matters 
between the European Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the 
European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the 
other. 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. The attached proposals for a Council and Commission Decision constitute the legal 
instruments for the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreements between the European 
Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Coal and 
Steel Community, on the one hand, and with each of the Baltic states, i.e. Estonia, 
Latvia and Lithuania, on the other. 
2. Estonia's, Latvia's and Lithuania's relations with the European Union are covered by 
Agreements on Trade and Commercial and Economic Cooperation which entered into 
force in February/March 1993. As a response to the demands of the three Baltic 
countries the European Council in Copenhagen invited the Commission to submit 
proposals for developing the Trade and Cooperation Agreements into free trade 
agreements. 
Following the Council's adoption of the negotiating directives on 7 February 1994, 
negotiations were opened with Latvia on 21 February 1994, with Estonia on 23 
February 1994 and with Lithuania on 28 February 1994. The Agreements were 
initialled with Latvia on 20 June 1994, with Lithuania on 27 June 1994 and with 
Estonia on 13 July 1994. 
3. The Free Trade Agreements modify the Agreements on Trade and Commercial and 
Economic Cooperation insofar as the trade provisions of the latter are rescinded. 
4. The structure of the three Agreements is very similar and is based on the models of the 
Interim Agreements which were concluded with six associated central and eastern 
European countries. 
The Free Trade Agreements comprise the following elements: 
- Human rights clause and encouragement for regional cooperation among the Baltic 
countries 
- Preferential Agreements. Establishment of a free trade zone on industrial products. 
With all three countries the EU eliminates all import and export duties and 
quantitative restrictions upon entry into force of the Agreement whilst the regimes of 
the three Baltics differ. Estonia, which does apply practically not any trade 
restrictions, grants reciprocity upon entry into force. Latvia and Lithuania will abolish 
all trade restrictions for most products upon entry into force of the Agreements, but 
for sensitive products Latvia will maintain export and import restrictions for up to 
four and Lithuania for up to six years; 
- Trade in textile products will be ruled by specific provisions. Concerning tariff 
aspects, the EU has granted Latvia and Lithuania consolidation of the GSP regime 
while Estonia will benefit from zero tariffs for all textile products. Quantitative 
aspects are governed by protocols: with Estonia a protocol was concluded during the 
free trade negotiations; with Latvia and Lithuania the existing agreements have been 
taken over as Protocols. 
- Concessions by both Parties on sensitive products such as agricultural, processed 
agricultural and fisheries products are covered by separate Annexes and Protocols; 
4* 
-Rules of origin and customs cooperation provisions are covered by separate 
Protocols; 
- The Joint Committee established by the existing trade and cooperation agreements 
will perform the duties assigned to it by the free trade agreements; 
The Agreements will enter into force on 1 January 1995. 
5. The procedures for signing and concluding the Agreements differ between the EC, 
EAECandECSC. 
The Agreement will be concluded as follows: 
- the Council, after consulting Parliament, will conclude the Agreements on behalf of 
the EC under Article 228, paragraphs 2 and 3, first indent, in conjunction with 
Article 113 of the EC Treaty, by adopting the Decision contained in annex; 
- the Council will approve the Agreements in accordance with the second paragraph of 
Article 101 of the Euratom Treaty. The Commission will then conclude the 
Agreements (on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community); 
- the Commission will conclude the Agreements on behalf of the ECSC by adopting the 
Decisions contained in annex in accordance with Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, with 
the unanimous assents of the Council and following consultations of the Consultative 
Committee. 
6. The Commission accordingly asks the Council to adopt the attached proposals for its 
decisions and to give its assents to the attached draft Commission decisions.

payments concerns movements of goods between the Parties which have been liberalised 
pursuant to the present Agreement. 
Article 32 
1. The following are incompatible with the proper functioning of this Agreement, insofar 
as they may affect trade between the Community and Latvia: 
i) all agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and 
concerted practices between undertakings which have as their object or effect the 
prevention, restriction or distortion of competition; 
ii) abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position in the territories of the 
Community or of Latvia as a whole or in a substantial part thereof; 
iii) any public aid, which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring 
certain undertakings or the production of certain goods. 
2. Any practices contrary to this Article shall be assessed on the basis of criteria arising 
from the application of the rules of Articles 85, 86 and 92 of the Treaty establishing 
the European Economic Community or, for products covered by the ECSC Treaty, 
on the basis of corresponding rules of the ECSC Treaty including secondary 
legislation. 
3. The Joint Committee shall, within three years of the entry into force of this 
Agreement, adopt by decision the necessary rules for the implementation of^ 
paragraphs 1 and 2.

Latvia shall be regarded as an area identical to those areas of the Community 
described in Article 92.3(a) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic 
Community. The Joint Committee shall, taking into account the economic situation 
of Latvia, decide whether that period should be extended by further periods of five 
years. 
b) Each Party shall ensure transparency in the area of public aid, inter alia by reporting 
annually to the other Party on the total amount and the distribution of the aid given 
and by providing, upon request, information on aid schemes. Upon request by one 
Party, the other Party shall provide information on particular individual cases of 
public aid. 
5. With regard to products referred to in Chapters II and III of Title II: 
- the provision of paragraph 1 point (iii) does not apply, 
- any practices contrary to paragraph 1 point (i) should be assessed according to 
the criteria established by the Community on the basis of Articles 42 and 43 of 
the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular of 
those established in Council Regulation No 26/1962. 
6. If the Community or Latvia considers that a particular practice is incompatible with 
the terms of the first paragraph of this Article, and 
- is not adequately dealt with under the implementing rules referred to in 
paragraph 3, or 
- in the absence of such rules, and if such practice causes or threatens to cause 
serious prejudice to the interests of the other Party or material injury to its 
domestic industry, including its services industry, 
it may take appropriate measures after consultation within the Joint Committee or 
after 30 working days following referral for such consultation. 
In the case of practices incompatible with paragraph 1 point (iii) of this Article, such 
appropriate measures may, where the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 
applies thereto, only be adopted in conformity with the procedures and under the 
conditions laid down by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and any other 
relevant instrument negotiated under its auspices which are applicable between the 
Parties. 
7. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary adopted in conformity with paragraph 
3, the Parties shall exchange information taking into account the limitations imposed 
by the requirements of professional and business secrecy.

^ Article 33 
1. The Parties shall endeavour to avoid the imposition of restrictive measures including 
measures relating to imports for balance of payments purposes. In the event of their 
introduction, the Party having introduced the same shall present to the other Party as 
soon as possible, a time schedule for their removal. 
2. Where one or more Member States or Latvia is in serious balance of payments 
difficulties, or under imminent threat thereof, the Community or Latvia, as the case 
may be, may, in accordance with the conditions established under the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, adopt restrictive measures, including measures 
relating to imports, which shall be of limited duration and may not go beyond what is 
necessary to remedy the balance of payments situation. The Community or Latvia, as 
the case may be, shall inform the other Party forthwith. 
Article 34 
With regard to public undertakings, and undertakings to which special or exclusive rights 
have been granted, the Joint Committee shall ensure that as from the fourth year following

provisions of Protocol 5. 
Article 36 
1. The Parties recognise that an important condition for the establishment of free trade 
between Latvia and the Community and the further economic integration of the 
former into the Community is the approximation of Latvia's existing and future 
legislation to that of the Community. Latvia shall endeavour to ensure that its trade 
and trade-related legislation will be gradually made compatible with that of the 
Community. 
14 
^ 2. The approximation of laws shall extend to trade-related matters, in particular 
dumping, rules on competition, customs legislation, statistics, technical rules and 
standards.

roduct covered by this Agreement is being imported into 
ie Community from Latvia at a price abnormally lower

under the ordinary conditions by other exporting 
countries on the market of the importing country, 
— the prices of like national products at a comparable 
marketing stage on the market of the importing 
country,

ab ' fail to lead to an agreement within 30 days of the 
Co....nunity's request for consultations, the Community

the product in question at prices under the conditions 
referred to in paragraph 1 above.

consignments of products are being imported from Latvia 
into the Community at prices abnormally lower than the 
normal competitive level, such as to cause injury which it

oending agreement on a solution in the course of 
;onsultations, which shall be opened immediately. The 
Contracting Parties shall do their utmost to reach a 
"nutually acceptable solution within 10 working days' 
TOtice of the opening of such consultations.

nay at any time request the opening of consultations to 
xamine the possibility of eliminating or modifying these 
neasures where the causes which made them necessary

Agreed Minute No 1 
In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic 
of Latvia on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 15 June 1993, the 
Parties agreed that Article 5 of the Agreement does not preclude the Community, if the 
conditions are fulfilled, from applying the safeguard measures for one or more of its regions in 
conformity with the principles of the internal market. 
In such an event, Latvia shall be informed in advance of the relevant provisions of Protocol A to 
the Agreement to be applied, as appropriate. 
For the Government For the Council 
of the Republic of Latvia of the European Communities 
Agreed Minute No 2 
Nothwithstanding Article 7 (1) of this Agreement, for imperative technical or administrative 
reasons or to find a solution to economic problems resulting from regional concentration of 
imports, or in order to combat circumvention and fraud of the provisions of this Agreement, the 
Community will establish for a limited period of time a specific management system in 
conformity with the principles of the internal market. 
However, if the Parties are unable to reach a satisfactory solution during the consultations 
provided for in Article 7 (3), Latvia undertakes, if so requested by the Community, to respect 
temporary export limits for one or more regions of the Community. In such a case, these limits 
shall not preclude the importation into the region(s) concerned of products which were shipped 
from Latvia on the basis of export licences obtained before the date of formal notification to 
Latvia by the Community about the introduction of the above limits. 
The Community shall inform Latvia of the technical and administrative measures, such as 
defined in the attached note verbale, that need to be introduced by both Parties in order to 
implement the above paragraphs in conformity with the principles of the internal market. 
For the Government For the Council 
of the Republic of Latvia of the European Communities 
Agreed Minute No 3 
In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic 
of Latvia on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 15 June 1993, the 
Parties agreed that Latvia shall endeavour not to deprive certain regions of the Community 
which have traditionally had relatively small shares of Community quotas of imports of 
products serving as inputs for their processing industry. 
The Community and Latvia further agreed to hold consultations, should the need arise, in order 
to avert any problems which might occur in this respect.

Article 7 (3), it shall cooperate by not issuing export licences that would further aggravate the 
problems resulting from the regional concentration of direct imports into the Community.

products 
Article 1 
1. The EC shall grant tariff concessions referred to in Annex 1 for processed agricultural 
products originating in Latvia. In the case of the goods referred to in Annex 2, however,

Committee shall draw up a list of the products to which the compensatory amounts are 
applicable and a list of basic products. It shall adopt general implementing rules to that

Article 2 
For the purposes of this Protocol, the following definitions shall apply: 
- goods means the processed agricultural products referred to in this Protocol

agricultural component is deducted from the total charge 
- basic products means the agricultural products considered as having been used in the 
production of goods within the meaning of regulation (EC) 3448/93 of 6.12.93 
- base quantity means the quantity of a basic product calculated in the manner stipulated

Article 3 
1. The EC grants to Latvia the following concessions: 
- the non agricultural component of the charge shall be reduced as per Annex 1 
- for the goods for which Annex 1 stipulates a reduced agricultural component (MOBR) 
the level of the latter shall be calculated by reducing the base quantities of the basic 
products for which a levy reduction is granted by 20% in 1995, 40% in 1996 and 60% 
from 1997. For the other basic products of those goods, the corresponding reductions, for

to have been used in the production of these goods. It shall forward that information to 
the Joint Committee. 
2. Latvia shall apply the duty indicated in Annex 3 to imports of processed agicultural

agricultural component. 
3. Latvia shall reduce the duties applicable to goods falling under regulation 3448/93 in 
accordance with the following timetable: 
- the non-agricultural component of the charge shall be removed by 31.12.2001. *.

Article 6 
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 
paragraphs 2 and 3. 
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 Latvia 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 
Latvia. 
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. 
Article 7 
Insufficient working or processing operations 
For the purpose of implementing Article 6 the 
following shall be considered as insufficient 
working or processing to confer the status of 
originating products, whether or not there is a 
change of heading:

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,

complete product; 
(g)a combination of two or more operations

(h) slaughter of animals. 
Article 8 
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; 
(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 9 
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 JO 
Sets 
Sets, as defined in general rule 3 of the 
Harmonized System, shall be regarded as 
originating when all component products arc 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 11 
Neutral elements 
In order to determine whether a product 
originates in the Community or in Latvia 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

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 tô any precautionary measures 
judged necessary. 
5. The customs authorities requesting the 
verification shall be informed of the results of 
this verification within a maximum often 
months. These results must indicate clearly 
whether the documents are authentic and 
whether the products concerned can be 
considered as originaling products and fulfil ihe 
other requirements of this Protocol. 
6. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no 
reply wilhin ten months or if the reply does not

ANNEX 1 
INTRODUCTORY NOTES 
Jxnrunrd 
"These noces dull apply, where appropriate, to «11 manufactured products using noo-c*igïnacing materials, 
even if they arc oo< subject to specific cood^ 
the change of beading rule set out in Article (, (1). 
Noccl: 
1.1. The fiat two columns in die list ocscribc 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 dux heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two 
columns a role is specified in column 3 1. "Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is 
preceded by «a *«% this signifies dux the role in column 3 only applies to the part of that 
heading or chapter as described in column 2. 
IJL 'Where several heading numbers arc grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and 
the «cscripaoa 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 oi the chapter or within any of the headings grouped together in column 1. 
1.3. Where there axe ôrHercnt rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent 
contains the oescripoon of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rule in .column 3 
tele A: 
3-1- In the case of any heading not in the list or any part of a heading that is not in the list, die "change of 
heading' rule set out in Article 6 (I) applies. If a "change of beading* condition applies to any entry in 
the list, then it is contained in the rule in column 3. 
3-2- The working or processing required by a rule in column 3 has to be carried our 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 
product may also be used, subject, 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 rnanu-
facurc 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 
docs not apply to it. 
For <xample: 
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 <0 % of the ex-works price, is made from "odicr 
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. 
Çj_.S. 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 earned out, taken as a whole, is insufficient within die 
meaning of Article "7 
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 JL 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 says 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^:tilreWvfwo;S restrictions only apply if the mechanisms concerned are 
actually incorporated into the sewing machine. Mol 
3.3. When a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the 
condiuon obviously docs 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 onlv non-originaung yarn is 
a lowed 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 yam — that is the fibre stage. 
0 
--!<!. Mol 
Sec also Note 6 J in relation to textiles. 
3 A. If in a rule in the list two or more percentages «re 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 fetation io 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. 
42. 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 cotton fibres of 
heading Nos 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305. 
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, whkh 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 5S01 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 °/o or less of the total weight 
of all the basic textile materials used (but see also Notes £3 and^4 below). 
5.2. However, this tolerance may only be applied to mixed products which haxr been made from two or 
more basic textile materials. 
The following are the basic textile materials: 
— «Ik, 
— wool, 
— coarse animal hair, 
— fine animalJiair, 
— horsehair, 
a J 
-AS-
— cotton. 
— paper-making materials and paper, 
— flax, 
— true hemp, ' 
— jute and other textile bast fibres, 
— sisal and other 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 yam 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 °/o of the yarn. 
For example: / 
A woollen fabric of heading No 5112 made from woollen yam of heading No 5107 and synthetic yam 
of staple fibres of heading No 5509 is a mixed fabric. Therefore synthctic^arn which does not satisfy 
the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn 
that docs not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or 
combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used up to a weight" 
of 10 °/c 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 yams classified in two separate headings or if the cotton yams used arc themselves 
mixtures. 
For example: 
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yam of heading No 5205 and 
synthetic fabric of heading No 5407, then, obviously, the yams used arc two separate basic textile 
materials and the tufted textile fabric is accordingly a mixed product. 
For example: 
A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yams 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 carpei#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 'yam made of polyurcthanc segmented with flexible segments of 
polycther whether or not gimped' this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yam. 
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. /,6<r

Note 6 
6.1. In die case of those textile products which arc marked in the list by a footnot referring to this note, 
textile materials with the exception of linings and btedinings 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 arc classified 
in a beading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 Vo of the ex-works 
price of the product. 
62. 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, yam 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 docs not prevent the use of slide-fasteners even though 
slide-fasteners normally contain textiles. 
&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.
