Proposal  for a Decision  of the Council and the  Commission 
on the conclusion  of a Euro-Mediterranean  Agreement 
establishing an association between  the 
European  Communities and their Member States, 
of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other  part 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1. 
In  line  with  the  directives  adopted  by  the  Council  of  the  European  Union  on 
20 December  1993  the  Commission  initiated  negotiations  aimed  at  the  conclusion  of  a 
new  agreement  with Tunisia.  On  12 April  1995,  after  several  negotiating  sessions  and 
many technical  meetings,  the Commission  and the Tunisian  delegation  initialled  a draft 
agreement.  As specified  by the directives concerned, the negotiations  were conducted  in 
consultation  with  representatives  of  the  Member  States.  On  10  April,  prior  to  the 
initialling  of  the  draft,  the Council  (General  Affairs)  was  informed  of  the  status  of  the 
negotiations. 

The  draft  Euro-Mediterranean  agreement  is  designed  to  establish  an  association 
2. 
between  the European  Communities  and  their  Member  States,  of  the  one  part,  and  the 
Republic  of Tunisia, of  the other part.  It will  replace the cooperation  agreement  and the 
agreement  governing  ECSC  products  signed  in  1976  which  are currently  in  force.  The 
new  agreement  is  the  first  manifestation  of  a  stronger  Mediterranean  policy,  the 
guidelines for which were adopted by the Essen European Council  of 9 and  10 December 
1994 with the aim of creating a Euro-Mediterranean partnership. 

3. 
The  proposed  agreement  will  be  concluded  for  an  unlimited  period,  and  will 
consolidate  the  existing  ties  between  the  European  Communities  and  their  Member 
States,  of  the  one  part,  and  the  Republic  of  Tunisia,  of  the  other  part,  creating  a 
relationship  based  on reciprocity  and partnership.  Respect  for democratic  principles  and 
human rights will be a key feature of this relationship. 

The main provisions of the agreement are as follows: 

-  regular political dialogue; 

-  a free-trade area:  in accordance  with the WTO rules, a free-trade  area will  be created 
gradually  between  the  Community  and Tunisia  over  a  period 'lasting  no  more  than 
12 years. Tunisia,  which  up to now  has granted the Commission  no concessions,  will 
gradually  eliminate  trade  barriers  affecting  the  Community's  industrial  exports,  and 
will  apply preferential  duties to its agricultural  exports. The preferential  arrangements 
currently  applied  by  the  Community  (free  market  access  for  Tunisian  industrial 
exports,  and  concessions  on  most  agricultural  exports)  are  confirmed,  and  will  be 
further  improved  with  regard  to  agricultural  products.  The  preferential  olive  oil 
arrangements  will  be  renewed  for  four  years,  after  which  period  the  parties  will  re 
examine the situation. The agreement contains a special  clause under which the parties 
undertake to examine  the agriculture trade situation  from  1 January  2000  to  establish 
new reciprocal  concessions  in  line  with  the overall  objective  of  gradually  liberalizing 
trade in this sector: 

A 

- 

freedom  of  establishment  and  the  freedom  to  provide  services:  the  Association 
Council  will  make  recommendations  aimed  at  achieving  these  objectives,  pending 
which  the parties will  respect their obligations under the GATS. The parties will  also 
hold consultations aimed at securing U»e tree movement of capital. The agreement also 
provides for the application of Community competition rules to companies; 

-  economic  cooperation,  already  introduced  under  the  existing  agreement,  will  be 
strengthened on  as wide  a basis as possible  in all  areas of  interest  to  the two parties, 
who will hold a regular dialogue on these issues; 

- 

in addition  to the existing  social  provisions, the new  agreement  will  introduce  social 
cooperation  involving  a  regular  dialogue  on  all  social  issues  of  interest  to  the  two 
parties; this dialogue will be complemented by cultural cooperation; 

-  to promote the aims of  the agreement, Tunisia will  benefit  from  financial  cooperation 

in accordance with the appropriate procedures and resources; 

-  an Association  Council  and an Association Committee  with  decision-making  powers 
will  be  created  to  supervise  implementation  of  the  agreement.  Cooperation  between 
the European  Parliament  and the  Economic  and Social  Committee  and their Tunisian 
counterparts will  also be promoted. 

4. 
The  negotiations  were  concluded  following  a  number  of  adjustments,  made  in 
consultation  with  the representatives  of  the Member States, to the directives  adopted by 
the Council  on  20  December  1993. In view  of  the above,  the Commission  considers  the 
outcome  of  the  negotiations  satisfactory  to  both  parties  and,  having  duly  initialled  the 
draft,  asks  the  Council  to  approve  the  results  of  the  negotiations  and  to  initiate  the 
procedure for signing the agreement. The Commission also hereby presents a proposal for 
a Decision  that will  allow  the Council  and the Commission  to  launch  the  procedure  for 
the conclusion of the agreement once it has been signed. 

The  European  Parliament  will  be  asked  to  give  its  assent  to  the  agreement  prior  to  its 
conclusion.  The  agreement  must  also  be  ratified  by  the  Member  States  before  it  enters 
into force.

and  where  the  situations  referred  to  above  give  rise,  or  are  likely  to  give  rise,  to  major 
difficulties  for  the  exporting  Party,  that  Party  may  take  appropriate  measures  under  the 
conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27. The measures shall

Tunisia,  as  the  case  may  be,  shall  supply  the  Association  Committee  with  all  relevant 
information with a view to seeking a solution acceptable to the two Parties. 

In  the  selection  of  measures,  priority  must  be  given  to  those  which  least  disturb  the

3. For the implementation of paragraph 2, the following  provisions shall apply: 

(a) 

as  regards  Article  24,  the  exporting  Party  must  be  informed  of  the  dumping  case  as 
soon as the authorities of the importing Party have initiated an investigation.  When no 
end has been put to the dumping within the meaning of Article VI  of the GATT or no 
other  satisfactory  solution  has  been  reached  within  30  days  of  the  matter  being 
referred, the importing Party may adopt the appropriate measures; 

.  HI-

(b) 

as  regards  Article  25,  the  difficulties  arising  from  the  situation  referred  to  in  that 
Article  shall  be  referred  for  examination  to  the  Association  Committee,  which  may 
take any decision needed to put an end to such difficulties. 

If the  Association  Committee  or the exporting  Party has not taken a decision  putting 
an end to the difficulties  or no other satisfactory  solution has been reached within  30 
days  of  the  matter  being  referred,  the  importing  Party  may  adopt  the  appropriate 
measures to remedy the problem. These measures must not exceed the scope of what is 
necessary to remedy the difficulties  which have arisen; 

(c) 

as  regards  Article  26,  the  difficulties  arising  from  the  situations  referred  to  in  that 
Article shall be referred for examination to the Association Committee. 

The  Association  Committee  may  take  any  decision  needed  to  put  an  end  to  the 
difficulties.  If  it  has  not  taken  such  a  decision  within  30  days  of  the  matter  being 
referred  to  it,  the  exporting  Party  may  apply  appropriate  measures  to  exports  of  the 
product concerned; 

(d) 

where  exceptional  circumstances  requiring  immediate  action  make  prior  information 
or examination, as the case may be, impossible, the Community or Tunisia whichever 
is concerned may, in the situations specified  in Articles 24, 25 and 26, apply  forthwith 
the  precautionary  measures  strictly  necessary  to  deal  with  the  situation  and  shall 
inform the other Party immediately  thereof. 

Article 28 

The Agreement  shall  not preclude prohibitions or restrictions on imports, exports or goods in 
transit justified  on grounds of public morality, public policy or public security; the protection 
of health and life  of humans, animals or plants; the protection of national treasures of artistic, 
historic  or  archaeological  value  or the  protection  of  intellectual,  industrial  and  commercial 
property  or  rules  relating  to  gold  and  silver.  Such  prohibitions  or  restrictions  shall  not, 
however,  constitute  a  means  of  arbitrary  discrimination  or  a  disguised  restriction  on  trade 
between the Parties.

provision of services by one Party's firms to consumers of services in the other. 

The  Association  Council  will  make  recommendations  for  achieving  the  objective 

2. 
described in paragraph  1. 

In  making  such  recommendations,  the  Association  Council  will  take  account  of  past 
experience  of  implementation  of  reciprocal  most-favoured-nation 
treatment  and  of  the 
obligations  of  each  Party  under  the  General  Agreement  on  Trade  in  Services  annexed  to  the 
Agreement  establishing  the  WTO,  hereinafter  referred  to  as  the  "GATS",  particularly 
Article V of the latter. 

The  Association  Council  will  make  a  first  assessment  of  the  achievement  of  this 

3. 
objective  no later than five years after  the Agreement enters into  force. 

Article 32 

1. 
At  the  outset,  each  of  the  Parties  shall  reaffirm  its  obligations  under  the  GATS, 
particularly  the  obligation  to  grant  reciprocal  most-favoured-nation  treatment  in  the  service 
sectors covered  by that obligation. 

2. 

In accordance with the GATS, such treatment shall not apply to: 

(a) 

(b) 

advantages  granted  by either Party under the terms of an agreement of the type 
defined  in Article V of the GATS or to measures taken  on the basis of  such  an

Article 34 

1.  With regard to transactions on the capital account of balance of payments, the Community 
and Tunisia shall ensure, from  the entry  into force of this Agreement, that capital relating to 
direct investments in Tunisia in companies formed  in accordance with current laws can move 
freely,  and that  the yield  from  such  investments and any profit  stemming  therefrom  can be 
liquidated and repatriated. 

2.  The Parties shall consult each other with a view to facilitating,  and fully  liberalizing when 
the time is right, the movement of capital  between the Community and Tunisia.

and  Trade  and  Articles  VIII  and  XIV  of  the  Articles  of  Agreement  of  the  International 
Monetary  Fund, adopt  restrictions on current transactions which shall be of limited  duration 
and may not go beyond  what is necessary  to remedy the balance of payments situation. The 
Community  or Tunisia,  as the case  may be, shall  inform  the other Party  forthwith  and  shall 
submit to it as soon as possible a timetable for the elimination of the measures concerned. 

CHAPTER 2 

COMPETITION AND OTHER ECONOMIC PROVISIONS 

Article 36 

TheYollowing are  incompatible  with the proper functioning  of  the  Agreement,  in so 

1. 
far as they may affect trade  between the Community and Tunisia: 
(a)  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; 
(b)  abuse  by  one  or  more  undertakings  of  a  dominant  position  in  the  territories  of  the 
Community  or of Tunisia as a whole or in a substantial part thereof; 
(c)  any  state  aid  which  distorts  or  threatens  to  distort  competition  by  favouring  certain 
undertakings  or  the  production  of  certain  goods,  with  the  exception  of  cases  in  which  a 
derogation is allowed under the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel  Community. 

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  Community  and,  in the case  of  products  falling  within  the  scope  of  the  European 
Coal  and  Steel  Community,  the  rules  of  Articles  65  and  66  of  the  Treaty  establishing  that 
Community, and the rules relating to state aid, including secondary  legislation. 

3. 
The  Association  Council  shall,  within  five  years  of  the  entry  into  force  of  this 
Agreement,  adopt by decision the necessary rules for the implementation of paragraphs  1  and 
2. 

Until  these  rules  are  adopted,  the  provisions  of  the  Agreement  on  interpretation  and 
application  of  Articles  VI,  XVI  and  XXIII  of  the General  Agreement  on  Tariffs  and Trade 
shall  be  applied  as  the  rules  for  the  implementation  of  paragraph  1(c)  and  related  parts  of 
paragraph 2. 

4. 

(a)  For  the  purposes  of  applying  the  provisions  of  paragraph  1(c),  the  Parties 
recognize  that during  the first five years after the entry  into  force  of  this  Agreement, 
any  state  aid  granted  by  Tunisia  shall  be  assessed  taking  into  account  the  fact  that 
Tunisia  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 Community. 

During  the  same  period  of  time,  Tunisia  may  exceptionally,  as  regards  ECSC  steel 
products, grant state aid for restructuring purposes provided that: 

it leads to the viability of the recipient firms under normal market conditions at 
the end of the restructuring period; 
the  amount  and  intensity  of  such aid are strictly  limited  to  what  is  absolutely 
necessary in order to restore such viability and are progressively  reduced; 
the restructuring programme is linked to a comprehensive  plan for rationalizing 
capacity  in Tunisia. 

The Association  Council  shall,  taking  into account the economic  situation  of  Tunisia,  decide 
whether the period of five years should be extended. 

Each  Party  shall  ensure  transparency  in  the  area  of  state  aid,  inter  alia  by 
(b) 
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 
state aid. 

5. 

With regard to products referred to in Chapter II of Title II; 
the provisions of paragraph 1 (c) do not apply, 
any  practices  contrary  to  paragraph  1(a)  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  Community,  and  in  particular  those 
established in Council  Regulation No  26/62. 

If the Community or Tunisia considers that a particular practice  is  incompatible  with 

6. 
the terms  of paragraph 1, 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  interest  of  the  other  Party  or  material  injury  to  its 
domestic industry, including its services industry, 

it may take appropriate measures after consultation within the Association  Committee or after 
30  working days following  referral to that Committee. 

In  the  case  of  practices  incompatible  with  paragraph  1(c)  of  this  Article,  such  appropriate 
measures  may,  where  the  General  Agreement  on  Tariffs  and  Trade  applies  thereto,  only  be 
adopted in accordance 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 is applicable between the Parties. 

7. 
Notwithstanding  any provisions to the contrary adopted  in accordance  with paragraph 
3,  the  Parties shall  exchange  information  taking  into account the  limitations  imposed  by the 
requirements  of professional  and business secrecy. 

Article 37 

The  Member  States  and  Tunisia  shall  progressively  adjust,  without  affecting  commitments 
made under the GATT, any state monopolies  of a  commercial  character so  as to ensure that,

by  the  end  of  the  fifth  year  following  the  entry  into 
discrimination  regarding the conditions  under which goods are procured  and marketed exists 
between  nationals  of  the  Member  States  and of  Tunisia.  The  Association  Committee  will  be 
informed about the measures adopted to implement this objective. 

Article 38 

With regard to public enterprises and enterprises which have been granted special  or exclusive 
rights,  the Association Council  shall  ensure, from the fifth  year following  the entry  into  force 
of the Agreement,  that no measure  which  disturbs trade between the Community  and Tunisia 
in  a  manner  which  runs  counter  to  the  interests  of  the  Parties  is  adopted  or  retained.  This 
provision shall  not  impede the performance  in fact or in law of the specific  functions  assigned 
to those enterprises. 

Article 39 

1. 
The Parties shall provide suitable and effective protection of intellectual, industrial and 
commercial  property  rights,  in  line  with  the  highest  international  standards.  This  shall 
encompass effective  means of enforcing such rights. 

2. 
Implementation  of  this  Article  and  of  Annex  7  shall  be  regularly  assessed  by  the 
Parties.  If difficulties  which  affect  trade  arise  in  connection  with  intellectual,  industrial  and 
commercial  property rights, either  Party  may  request  urgent  consultations  to  find  mutually 
satisfactory solutions. 

Article 40 

1. 
The Parties  shall  take appropriate  steps to promote the use  by Tunisia of  Community 
technical  rules and European standards  for industrial  and agri-food  products and  certification 
procedures. 

Using  the  principles  set  out  in  paragraph  1  as  a  basis,  the  Parties  shall,  when  the 

2. 
circumstances are right, conclude agreements for the mutual recognition of certification. 

Article 41 

The  Parties  shall  take  as  their  aim  a  reciprocal  and  gradual  liberalization  of  public 

1. 
procurement contracts.

2. 

The products listed in the Annex, originating in Tunisia, shall be admitted for import 
into  the  Community  in  accordance  with  the  conditions  set  out  below  and  in  the 
Annex. 

Import  duties  shall  be  either  eliminated  or  reduced  by  the  percentage  indicated  in

product concerned  subject to a Community tariff  quota the volume of which shall be 
equal to the  reference  quantity.  In such a case,  for  quantities  imported  in excess of 
the quota, the common customs tariff  duty shall, according to the product concerned, 
be applied  in full  or reduced,  as indicated  in column (c). 

5. 

6. 

For  some  of  the  products  referred  to  in  paragraphs  3  and  4  and  indicated  in 
column  (e), the quotas or reference  quantities shall be increased from  1 January  1997 
to  1 January  2000 on the basis of four  equal  instalments  each corresponding  to 3 % 
of thèse amounts. 

For  some  of  the  products  other  than  those  referred  to  in  paragraphs  3  and  4  and 
indicated in column (e), the Community may fix a reference  quantity as provided  for 
in paragraph  4  if,  in the light of the annual review of trade which it shall carry  out, 
it establishes  that  the  volume  of  imports  may  cause  difficulties  on  the  Community 
market.  If,  subsequently,  the product is subject to a tariff  quota under the conditions 
set out in paragraph  4,  the Common Customs Tariff  duty  shall  be applied  in full  or 
reduced, depending on the product concerned, by the percentage shown in column (c) 
in respect  of  the quantities  imported  in excess  of the quota. 

Article  2 

Article  1  shall  apply  in  respect  of  wines  of  fresh  grapes  of  heading  2204  of  the 
Combined  Nomenclature,  originating  in  Tunisia  and  entitled  to  a  designation  of 
origin,  where such wines are put up in containers holding two litres or less and have 
an actual  alcoholic strength of  15% vol.  or less. 

In accordance with Tunisian law,  these wines shall have the following  designations: 
Coteaux de Teboura, Coteaux d'Utique, Sidi Salem, Kelibia, Thibar, Mornag,. Grand 
cru Mornag. 

Article  3 

1. 

2. 

3. 

Each marketing year from 1 January  1996 to 31 December  1999, within the limits of 
a quantity  of  46  000  tonnes per year,  a customs  duty of  ECU  7.81/100  kg shall  be 
levied  on  imports  into  the  Community  of  untreated  olive  oil  of  subheadings 
1509  10  10  and  1509  10  90  of  the  Combined  Nomenclature  wholly  obtained  in 
Tunisia  and transported  directly  from  Tunisia  to the Community. 

Where  imports  of  olive  oil  under  the  above  arrangements  threaten  to  disturb  the 
balance  of  the  European  Union  market,  in  particular  as  a  result  of  the  latter's 
obligations relating to this product in the WTO framework,  the European Union may 
take  the appropriate  measures  to  remedy  this  situation. 

The parties  shall  reassess  the situation during  the second  half  of  1999 with a view to 
determining  the  arrangements  for  the period  from  1 January  2000.

Article 7 
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 Article 8. 

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. 

For  the  products  of  Chapter  84  to  91  inclusive,  as  an  alternative  to  satisfying  the 
conditions set out in column  3, the exporter may opt to apply the conditions  set out  in 
column 4 instead. 

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  Tunisia  the  value 
added  by  the  working  or  processing  shall  correspond  to  the  ex-works  price  of  the 
into  the 
product  obtained,  less  the  value  of  third-country  materials  imported 
Community or Tunisia. 

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.

equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question. 

Article 11 
Sets 

Sets,  as  defined  in  general  rule  3  of  the  Harmonized  System,  shall  be  regarded  as

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 12 
Neutral elements 

In  order  to  determine  whether  a  product  originates  in the Community  or  in  Tunisia  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

The  customs  authorities  of  the  Member  States and  of  Tunisia  shall  provide  each  other, 
through  the  Commission  of  the  European  Communities,  with  specimen  impressions  of 
stamps  used  in  their  customs  offices  for  the  issue  of  EUR.1  certificates  and  with  the 
addresses of the customs authorities responsible for issuing Movement certificates  EUR.1 
and for verifying  those certificates  and invoice declaration. 

Article 33 
Verification  of Movement certificates EUR.1, invoice declaration and  information 
certificate 

1. Subsequent  verification  of Movement certificates  EUR.1  and invoice  declaration  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 
invoice  declaration,  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. 

In  order  to  assist  with  the  verification,,the  customs  authorities  shall  provide  all  the 
necessary  documents  and  any

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 exceptional  circumstances, refuse  entitlement to the  preferences. 

7. The subsequent verification of information certificates provided for by Article 23 .shall 
be  carried  out  in  the  cases  mentioned  in paragraph  1 and  in  accordance  with the 
procedures laid down in paragraphs 2 to 6 

Article34 
Dispute settlement 

Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 33 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 
to the interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be submitted to the Customs Cooperation 
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 35 
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 36 
Free zones 

1. The Member States and Tunisia 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 ah exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph  1, when products 
originating in the Community or in Tunisia 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  materials, even  if they  are not  subject  to specific  conditions  contained  in the 
list  in Annex  II but  are  subject  instead  to the change of heading  rule set out in Article  7 
(1). 

Note 1 

1.1.  The  first  two  columns  in  the  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 first two columns a rule is specified  in columns  3  or 
4.  Where,  in  some  cases,  the  entry  in  the  first  column  is  preceded  by  an  'ex',  this 
signifies  that  the  rule  in  columns  3  or  4  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 columns 3 or 4 applies to all products which,  under 
the Harmonized  System, are classified  within headings of the chapter or within any  of 
the headings grouped together in column 1. 

Note 2 

2.1. In the case of any heading not in the list or any part of a heading that is not in the list, 
the  'change  of  heading'  rule  set  out  in Article  7 (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  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. 

AJO^ 

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. 

2.5.  Even  if  the  change  of  heading  rule  or  the  other  rules  contained  in  the  list  are 
satisfied,  a product  snail  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. 

ji* 

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 are actually incorporated into the sewing machine. 

3.3.  When  a  rule  in  the  list  specifies  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 are 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  cotton  fibres  of heading Nos  5201  to  5203  and  the  other  vegetable 
fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305. 

W 

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  of  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 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 yarn of heading No 5205 made from  cotton fibres  of heading No 5203 and  synthetic 
staple fibres of heading No 5506 is a mixed yam. 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. 

M 

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  yam  that  does  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 % of the fabric. 

For example: 

Tufted  textile  fabric  of heading  No  5802 made  from  cotton  yam  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 yarns used are 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 yarns used are 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  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  'yam  made  of  polyurethane  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  interlinings 
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 

'Mi 

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. 

Note 7 

7.1.  For the purposes  of heading Nos  ex  2707,  2713  to 2715, ex  2901, ex  2902  and  ex 

3403, 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; 
(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; 
(g) polymerization; 
(h) alkylation; 
i) isomerization. 

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; 
(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; 
(g) polymerization; 

Sec Additional  Explanatory  note 4 (b) to Chapter 27 of the combined  nomenclature. 

(h) alkylation; 
(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); 
(1) (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  desulphurization,  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.
