PROTOCOL

concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating’ products and methods of administrative cooperation

TITLE I

Definition of the concept of ‘originating’ products

Article 1

For the purpose of implementing the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus, the following products shall be considered as:

1. products originating in the Community, provided that they have been transported to Cyprus directly, within the meaning of Article 5: (a) products wholly obtained in the Member States; (b) products obtained in the Member States, in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) above are used, provided that the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 3. This condition shall not apply, however, to products which, within the meaning of this Protocol, originate in Cyprus;

2. products originating in Cyprus, provided that they have been transported to the importing Member State directly, within the meaning of Article 5: (a) products wholly obtained in Cyprus; (b) products obtained in Cyprus, in the manufac- ture of which products other than those referred to in (a) above are used, provided that the said products have undergone suf- ficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 3. This condition shall not apply, however, to products which, within the meaning of this Protocol, originate in the Community. The products listed in List C shall be temporarily excluded from the scope of this Protocol.

Article 2

The following shall be considered as wholly obtained either in the Member States or in Cyprus, within the meaning of Article 1,1 (a) and 2 (a):

(a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their sea or ocean bed;

(b) vegetable products harvested there;

(c) live animals born and raised there;

(d) products from live animals;

(e) products from hunting and fishing conducted there;

(f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea by their vessels;

(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in (f);

(h) used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw materials;

(i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;

(j) goods produced there exclusively from products specified in (a) to (i).

Article 3

For the purpose of implementing Article 1, 1 (b) and 2 (b), the following shall be considered as sufficient working or processing:

(a) working or processing as a result of which the goods obtained receive a classification under a tariff heading other than that covering each of the products worked or processed, except, however, working or processing appearing in List A, where the special provisions of that list apply;

(b) working or processing appearing in List B.

‘Tariff headings’ shall mean the headings in the Brussels Nomenclature for the Classification of Goods in Customs Tariffs.

Article 4

Where the Lists A and B referred to in Article 3 provide that the goods obtained in a Member State or in Cyprus shall be considered as originating there only if the value of the products worked or processed does not exceed a given percentage of the value of the goods obtained, the value to be taken into consideration for determining such percentage shall be:

— on the one hand: — as regards products whose importation can be proved: their customs value at the time of importation; — as regards products of undetermined origin: the earliest ascertainable price paid for such products in the territory of the State where manufacture takes place;

— on the other hand: — the ex-factory price of the goods obtained, less internal taxes refunded or refundable on exportation.

Article 5

The following shall be considered as transported directly from the exporting Member State to Cyprus or from Cyprus to the importing Member State:

(a) goods transported without passing through territory other than that of Contracting Parties;

(b) goods transported through territories other than those of Contracting Parties, or transhipped in such territories, if the passage in such territories or the transhipment is covered by a single transport document drawn up in a Member State or in the Republic of Cyprus.

Transhipments carried out in the ports of territories other than those of Contracting Parties shall not be considered as interrupting direct transport if such transhipments are caused by force-majeure or are the result of events at sea.

TITLE II

Methods of administrative cooperation

Article 6

‘Originating’ products within the meaning of this Protocol shall, in the importing Member State or in Cyprus, benefit from the provisions of the Agreement, upon submission of an A.CY.1 movement certificate issued by the customs authorities of the Republic of Cyprus or the customs authorities of the exporting Member State.

However, products sent by post (including parcels) shall, provided that the consignments contain only ‘originating’ products and that the value does not exceed one thousand units of account per consignment, benefit from the provisions of the Agreement in the Member State or in Cyprus, on the presen- tation of form A.CY.2, subject to each parcel bearing the label contained in Part 2 of this form.

Article 7

Movement certificate A.CY.1 shall be issued only on application being made in writing by the exporter, on the form prescribed for this purpose.

Article 8

The A.CY.1 movement 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 exporters as soon as actual exportation has been effected or ensured.

In exceptional circumstances, an A.CY.1 movement certificate may also be issued after the exportation of the goods to which it refers, if it was not submitted at the time of such exportation because of errors or involuntary omissions or special circumstances. In this case, the certificate shall bear a special reference to the conditions in which it was issued.

An A.CY.1 movement certificate may be issued only where it can serve as documentary evidence for the purpose of implementing the preferential treatment provided for in the Agreement.

Article 9

Movement certificates A.CY.1 must be submitted, within four months from the date of issue by the customs authorities of the exporting Member State, to the customs authorities of the importing Member State where the goods are delivered.

Article 10

Movement certificates A.CY.1 must be made out on a form of which a specimen appears in Annex V. They shall be drawn up in one of the languages in which the Agreement is drawn up, in accordance with the provisions of the national law of the exporting State. They shall be typewritten or hand-written; in the latter case, they shall be completed in ink and in capital letters.

Each certificate shall measure 210 × 297 mm. The paper used must be white sized writing paper not containing mechanical pulp and weighing not less than 64 g/m2 or between 25 and 30 g/m2 if airmail paper is used. It shall have a green machine-turned background making any falsification by chemical or mechanical means apparent to the eye.

On the front of each certificate, a diagonal pattern of three blue stripes, each 3 mm wide, shall run from the bottom left hand corner to the top right hand corner.

Each certificate shall contain a serial number by which it can be identified.

The Member States and the Republic of Cyprus may reserve the right to print the certificates themselves or may have them printed by approved printers. In the latter case, each form must carry reference to such approval. Each form must bear the name and address of the printer or a sign by which the printer can be identified.

Article 11

In the importing State, A.CY.1 movement certificates shall be submitted to the customs authorities, in accordance with the provisions made in the laws and regulations of that State. The said authorities may require a translation of a certificate. 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.

Article 12

Form A.CY.2, of which a specimen appears in Annex VI, shall be completed by the exporter. It shall be drawn up in one of the languages in which the Agreement is drawn up and in accordance with the provisions of the national law of the exporting State. It shall be typewritten or hand written; in the latter case it shall be completed in ink and in capital letters.

Form A.CY.2 is composed of two parts, each part being 210 mm × 148 mm. The paper used shall be white sized writing paper not containing mechanical pulp and weighing not less than 64 g/m2. On the front of Part 1 and the label contained in Part 2, a diagonal pattern of three blue stripes, each 3 mm wide, shall run from the bottom left-hand corner to the top right-hand corner.

Form A.CY.2 may be perforated mechanically so that the two parts may be separated and the portion of the form to be affixed on the consignment can be detached. The back of this portion may be adhesive.

The Member States and the Republic of Cyprus may reserve the right to print the forms themselves or may have them printed by approved printers. In the latter case, each form must carry a reference to such approval. Each form must bear the name and address of the printer or a sign by which the printer can be identified. Each part shall also bear a serial number by which it can be identified.

Article 13

For each postal consignment, an A.CY.2 form shall be completed. After completing and signing the two parts of the form, the exporter shall insert his declaration (Part 1) in the consignment and stick the label from Part 2 on the outer packing of the consignment.

These provisions do not dispense exporters from complying with any formalities required by customs or postal regulations.

Article 14

Unless they suspect some irregularity, the customs authorities of the Member State or of the Republic of Cyprus shall admit as benefiting from the provisions of the Agreement any goods contained in a consignment bearing an A.CY.2 label.

For the purpose of a random check or in a case of doubt as to regularity, the customs authorities of a Member State or of the Republic of Cyprus may ask for a verification by the customs authorities of the Republic of Cyprus or the Member State, forwarding, for this purpose, Part 1 of the A.CY.2 form contained in the consignment, and may suspend, while waiting for the result of such examination, the application of the Agreement. In such cases, the goods may be released to the importer, subject to such safeguards as may be considered necessary.

Article 15

1. Member States and the Republic of Cyprus shall admit as ‘originating’ products benefiting from the provisions of the Agreement, without requiring the production of an A.CY.1 movement certificate or the completion of an A.GY.2 form, goods sent as small packages; to private persons or forming part of passengers' personal luggage, in so far as such goods are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the conditions: required for the application of this Agreement, and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such declaration.

2. Importations which are occasional and consist solely of goods for the personal use of the addressee or passenger or his family, it being evident from the nature and quality of the goods that no commercial purpose is in view, shall not be considered as importations by way of trade. Furthermore, the total value of these goods must not exceed 60 units of account in the case of small packages or 200 units of account in the case of the contents of passengers' personal luggage.

Article 16

1. Goods sent from a Member State or from Cyprus for exhibition in another country and sold after the exhibition for importation into Cyprus or into a Member State shall benefit on importation into that State from the provisions of the Agreement on condition that the goods meet the requirements of this Protocol entitling them to be recognized as originating in the exporting country and provided that it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities of the importing State that:

(a) an exporter has consigned these goods from the territory of a Member State or from Cyprus to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there;

(b) the goods have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to someone in Cyprus or in a Member State;

(c) the goods have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter to Cyprus or to a Member State in the condition in which they were sent for exhibition;

(d) the goods have not, since they were consigned for exhibition, been used for any purpose other than demonstration at the exhibition.

2. A movement certificate A.CY.1 must be produced to the customs authorities of the importing State in the normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the nature of the goods and the conditions under which they have been exhibited may be required from the country where the exhibition was held.

3. Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhibition, fair or similar public show or display which is not organized for private purposes in shops or business premises with a view to the sale of foreign goods, and during which the goods remain under customs control.

Article 17

In order to ensure the proper application of this Title, the Member States and the Republic of Cyprus shall assist each other, through their respective customs administrations, for the purpose of checking the authenticity and correctness of A.CY.1 movement certificates and of exporters' declarations made on A.CY.2 forms.

The Association Council shall draw up any recommendations necessary for the application of this Protocol, especially of this Title, so that the methods of administrative cooperation' may be applied in due course in the Member States and in the Republic of Cyprus.
