EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1.  The  attached  proposals  for  a  Council  and  Commission  Decision  constitute  the  legal 
instrument  for 
the  European 
the  conclusion  of  Europe  Agreements  between 
Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and with each one of  the Baltic 
states, i.e. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, of the other part. 

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  and  -as  far  as  trade  and  trade  related  matters  are 
concerned- by the Free trade Agreements which entered into force on  1  January  1995. 

Following the signature of the Free Trade Agreements  and in response  to  the  demands 
of the three Baltic States the Council of the European  Union opened  the  procedure  for 
the negotiation  of Europe Agreements. The negotiating directives were  adopted  by the 
Council  on  28-29  November  1994 and  the  negotiations  with  all  three  countries  were 
launched on  15 December  1994.The Agreements were initialled in Brussels on  12 April 
1995, after  two rounds of negotiations with each country. 

3.  The  Agreements  are  preferential  agreements,  designed  to  establish  a  close,  long-term 
association  between,  of  the one part, the European  Community, the  European  Atomic 
Energy Community, the European  Coal and Steel Community and their Member  States 
and, of the other, each one of the countries concerned. 

These Agreements will replace the Agreements on trade and commercial  and  economic 
cooperation between  the EEC and Estonia, which entered into force on March  1, 1993, 
between  the  EEC  and  Latvia,  which  entered  into  force  on  February  1,  1993,  and 
between EEC and EAEC and Lithuania which entered into force on February  1, 1993. 

As  far  as  trade  and  trade-related  matters  are  concerned  they  fully  incorporate  the 
Agreements  on  free  trade  and  trade-related  matters  signed  on  18 July  1994.  On  the 
remaining  matters  they  largely  follow  the pattern  of  the  Europe  Agreements  with  the 
other associated countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, the  Czech 
Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria) and they provide  (in the  case  of  Lithuania 
and  Latvia)  for  transitional  periods  that  will  end  on  31  December  1999;  in  the 
agreement  with  Estonia  no  such  transitional  period  has  been  provided  for.  They 
provide for  political dialogue between the European  Union  and the three Baltic  States 
within  the  multilateral  framework  established  with  the  associated  countries  of  Central 
Europe  and  -with  each  one  of  them-  within  the  Association  Council;  they  include 
similar  provisions  with  the  other  Europe  Agreements  on  establishment,  movement  of 
workers  and  supply  of  services  (with  the  addition  of  a  standstill  clause  in  the  latter 
case),  on  movement  of  capital  and  on  economic,  cultural  and  financial  cooperation; 
they also provide  for  the establishment of an Association  Council which supervises  the 
implementation  of the agreement  and has the power  to take decisions  in specific  cases 
provided  for  in  this  agreement,  of  an  Association  Committee  and  of  a  Parliamentary 
Committee.  Finally, for  the first  time in a Europe  Agreement,  there  are  provisions  on 
cooperation on the prevention of illegal activities. 

4.  The  three  agreements  will  replace,  respectively,  the  Agreement*  on  trade  and 
commercial  and  economic  cooperation  between  the  EEC  and  Estonia  which  entered 
into  force  on  March  1,  1993, the  Agreement  on  trade  and  commercial  and  economic 

cooperation  between  the  EEC  and  Latvia  which  entered  into  force  on  February  1, 
1993, and the Agreement on trade and commercial and economic cooperation  between 
EEC  and  EAEC  and  Lithuania  which entered  into  force  on  February  1,  1993  and  -as 
far  as the trade and trade related matters are concerned- the Agreements  on  free  trade 
and  trade-related  matters  which  entered  into  force  on  1 January  1995, and  which  are 
fully  incorporated  into  the  present  agreements.  They  will  be  concluded  for  an 
indeterminate duration. 

5.  The  procedures  for  the  conclusion  of  the  Agreements  are  different  for  the  three 
European  Communities  (European  Community, European  Atomic Energy  Community 
and European  Coal and Steel Community): 

- 

- 

- 

the  Council  concludes  the  Agreements  on  behalf  of  the  European  Community,  after 
having  received  the  assent  of  the European  Parliament, by virtue of  Article  238 of  the 
Treaty; 

the  Council  approves  the  Agreement  on  behalf  of  the  European  Atomic  Energy 
Community  by  virtue  of  the  second  subparagraph  of  Article  101  of  the  EURATOM 
Treaty and the Agreement is then concluded by the Commission; 

the  Commission  concludes  the  Agreement  on  behalf  of  the  European  Coal  and  Steel 
Community, by virtue of Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, with the unanimous  assent of 
the Council and following  consultation of the Consultative Committee. 

The Commission,  having proceeded to the initialling of the proposed  agreements, asks 
the  Council  to  approve  the  results  of  the  négociations  and  to  engage  the  procedure 
aimed to the their signature. 

Moreover, the Commission proposes, in line with the solution which has been  followed 
in  the  case  of  the  conclusion  of  the  other  Europe  Agreements,  to  conclude  after 
signature  the  Agreements  by the  means of  the  adoption  of  the  attached  draft  decision 
of the Council and the Commission. 

Besides ratification  by all Member States is a prerequisite for the entry into force  of the 
Agreements.

paragraph 1  of  this  Article  shall  not  restrict  in  any  way  the  pursuance  of  the  respective 
agricultural  policies  of Estonia  and the  Community  or  the  taking  of  any  measures  under 
such policies. 

3.  Taking account of the Estonian tariff structure at 1 January  1995, where no tariff duties are 
provided  for  agricultural products,  in the event that a new  tariff  regime  for  the  import  of 
agricultural  products is  established,  Estonia may, by way  of  derogation from paragraph 1 
and  pursuant  to  the  implementation  of  its  agricultural  policy  for  its  domestic  production, 
introduce duties on a limited number of agricultural products originating in the Community. 
Such duties may only be introduced until 31 December  1996,  and after  consultation in the 
Association Council.  In all such cases, Estonia shall ensure a sizeable  margin of  preference 
for  products  originating  in the  Community.  If necessary,  this period  may be  prolonged by 
one year by decision of the Association Council. 

ARTICLE 25 

1.  The  two  Parties  shall  refrain  from  any  measure  or  practice  of  an  internal  fiscal  nature 
establishing, whether directly or indirectly, discrimination between the products of one Party 
and like products originating in the territory of the other Party. 

2.  Products exported to the territory of one of the two Parties may not benefit from repayment 
of internal indirect taxation in excess of the amount of direct or indirect taxation imposed on 
them. 

ARTICLE 26 

1.  This Agreement shall not preclude the maintenance or establishment of customs unions, free 
trade  areas  or  arrangements  for  frontier  trade  except  insofar  as  they  alter  the  trade 
arrangements provided for in this Agreement.

2.  Consultations  between  the  Parties  shall  take  place  within  the  Association  Council 
concerning  agreements  establishing  such  customs  unions  or  free  trade  areas  and,  where 
requested,  on  other  major  issues  related  to  their  respective  trade  policies  with  third 
countries.  In particular  in the  event  of  a third  country  acceding  to  the  Community,  such 
consultations  shall  take  place  so  as  to  ensure  that  account  can  be  taken  of  the  mutual 
interests of the Community and Estonia stated in this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 27 

Exceptional measures of limited duration which derogate from the provisions of Article  11 and 
Article 24(1), first indent, may be taken by Estonia in the form of increased customs duties. 

These measures may only concern infant industries, or certain sectors undergoing restructuring 
or  facing  serious  difficulties,  particularly  where  these  difficulties  produce  important  social 
problems. 

Customs  duties  on  imports  applicable  in Estonia  to  products  originating  in  the  Community 
introduced by these measures may not exceed 25% ad valorem  and shall maintain an element 
of preference for products originating in the Community. 

The total value of imports of the products which are subject to these measures may not exceed 
15% of total imports of industrial products from the Community as defined  in Chapter I during 
the last year for which statistics are available. 

These measures shall be applied for a period not exceeding two years unless a longer duration 
is  authorized  by  the  Association  Council.  They  shall  cease  to  apply  at  the  latest  by  31 
December  1997. 

No  such  measures  can be  introduced  in respect  of  a product  if more  than  three  years  have 
elapsed  since the elimination of all duties and quantitative restrictions  or charges or measures 
having an equivalent effect concerning that product. 

Estonia  shall  inform  the  Association  Council  of  any  exceptional  measures  it  intends  to  take 
and, at the request of the Community, consultations shall be held in the Association Council on 
such measures and the sectors to which they apply before they are applied.  When taking such 
measures Estonia shall provide the Association Council with a schedule for the elimination  of 
the  customs  duties  introduced  under this Article.  The Association  Council  may  decide  on a 
different  schedule.

equivalent  effect;  or 

(ii)

difficulties  for  the  exporting  Party,  that  Party  may  take. appropriate  measures  under  the 
conditions  and  in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 32. The measures  shall 
be non-discriminatory and be eliminated when conditions no longer justify their maintenance.

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; 

• 

(b)  as regards Article 28,  the Association  Council  shall be  informed  of  the  dumping  case  as 
soon as the authorities of the importing Party have initiated an investigation.  If no end has

days  of  the  matter  being  referred  to  the  Association  Council,  the  importing  Party  may 
adopt the appropriate measures; 

(c)  as regards Article 30, the difficulties  arising from the situations referred to  in that Article 

shall be referred for examination to the Association Council. 

The Association Council may take any decision needed to put an end to the difficulties.  If

13  Y 

exporting  Party  may  apply  appropriate  measures  on  the  exportation  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  Estonia  whichever  is 
concerned  may,  in the  situations  specified  in Articles 28,  29  and  30,  apply  forthwith  the

- face  the  elimination  or  a  drastic  reduction  of  the  total  market  share  held  by  Estonian 

companies or nationals in a given sector or industry in Estonia, or

Such measures : 

- shall cease to apply at the latest on 31 December 1999 and 

- shall be reasonable and necessary in order to remedy the situation, and

measures  and  shall  not  introduce  discrimination  concerning  the  operations  of  Community 
companies or nationals  already  established in Estonia at the time of introduction  of  a given 
measure compared with Estonian companies or nationals. 

While  devising  and  applying  such  measures,  Estonia  shall  grant  whenever  possible  to 
Community companies  and nationals a preferential treatment, and in no  case  a treatment less 
favourable than that accorded to companies or nationals from any third country. 

Prior to the introduction of these measures, Estonia shall consult the Association Council and 
shall  not  put  them  into  effect  before  a  one-month  period  following  the  notification  of  the 
Association  Council  of the concrete measures to be introduced  by Estonia,  except  where the 
threat of irreparable damage requires the taking of urgent measures in which case Estonia shall. 
consult the Association Council immediately after their introduction.

nationals or companies of the other Party than that accorded to a Party's own ships with 
regard  to  access  to  ports  open  to  international  trade,  the  use  of  infrastructure  and 
auxiliary  maritime  services  of  the  ports,  as  well  as  related  fees  and  charges,  customs

transport between the Parties, adapted to their reciprocal  commercial  needs, the conditions 
of  mutual  market  access  and  provision  of  services  in  transport  by  road,  rail  and  inland 
waterways  and,  if  applicable,  in  air  transport  shall  be  dealt  with  by  specific  transport 
agreements where appropriate,  negotiated between the Parties after entry into force of this 
Agreement. 

6.  Prior to  the  conclusion  of the  agreements referred  to  in paragraph 5,  the Parties  shall  not

the situation existing on the day preceding the day of entry into force of the Agreement.

technical  and  other rules to  that  of the  Community  legislation  existing  at  any time  in the 
field  of  road,  rail,  inland  waterway  and  air  transport  in  so  far  as  it  serves  liberalisation 
purposes  and  mutual  access  to  markets  of  the  Parties  and  facilitates  the  movement  of 
passengers and of goods. Progress in this field will be jointly assessed by the Parties within 
the framework of the Association Council at least every two years.

that  the  situation  described 

If  following  such  consultations  it  is  acknowledged 
2. 
by  common  accord 
in 
paragraph  1 exists, Estonia  shall take, within the limits of 
its  powers,  the  necessary  steps,  notably  as  regards  the 
price  at  which  the  product  in  question  will  be  sold,  to 
remedy the  situation. 

3. 
In order  to  determine whether  the  price  of  a  textile 
product is abnormally  lower  than  the normal  competitive 
level, it  may  be compared  with: 

—  the  prices  generally  charged  for  like  products  sold 
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, 

—  the  lowest  prices  charged  by  a  third  country  for  the 
same  product  in  the  course  of  ordinary  commercial 
dealings in the three months preceding  the request  for 
consultations,  and  not  having  led  to  the  adoption  of 
any  measure  by the  Community. 

Should  the consultations  referred  to  in  paragraph  2 
4. 
above  fail  to  lead  to  agreement  within  30  days  of  the 
Community's  request  for  consultations,  the  Community 
may,  until  these consultations  have  produced  a  mutually 
satisfactory  solution,  temporarily  refuse  consignments  of 
the  product  in  question  at  prices  under  the  conditions 
referred  to  in  paragraph  1 above. 

5. 
In  totally  exceptional  and  critical  circumstances, 
where consignments of  products are being imported  from 
Estonia  into  the  Community  at  prices  abnormally  lower 
than the normal competitive level, such as to cause  injury 
which it would  be difficult  to repair, the Community  may 
temporarily  suspend  imports  of  the  products  concerned 
pending  agreement  on  a  solution  in  the  course  of 
consultations,  which  shall  be  opened  immediately.  The 
Parties  shall  do  their  utmost  to  reach.  a  mutually 
acceptable solution within  10 working  days' notice of  the 
opening  of  such  consultations.

PRODUCTS  REFERRED  TO  IN  ARTICLE  1 

1.  Without  prejudice  to  the  rules  for  the  interpretation  of  the  combined  nomenclature,  the  wording  of  the 
description of goods is considered to be of indicative value only, since the products covered by each category 
are determined, within  this Annex, by CN  codes. Where there  is an  'ex' symbol  in front  of  a CN  code,  the 
products  covered  in  each  category  arc  determined  by  the  scope  of  the  CN  code  and  by  that  of  the 
corresponding  description. 

2.  Garments which are not recognizable as being garments for men or boys or as being garments for women  or 

girls  are  classified  with  the  latter. 

3.  Where  the  expression  'babies'  garments'  is  used,  this  is  meant  to  cover  garments  up  to  and  including 

commercial  size  86.

In  the  context  of  Protocol  1  on  trade  in  textile  and  clothing  products,  the  Parties  agreed  that 
Article  5  of  the  Protocol  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,  Estonia  shall  be  informed  in  advance  of  the  relevant  provisions  of  Appendix  A 
of  the  Protocol  to  be  applied,  as  appropriate. 

Agreed  minute  No  2 

Notwithstanding  Article  7  (1)  of  Protocol  1  on  trade  in  textile  and  clothing  products,  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  Protocol,  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),  Estonia  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  Estonia  on  the  basis  of  export  licences  obtained  before  the  date  of  formal  notification  to 
Estonia  by  the  Community  about  the  introduction  of  the  above  limits. 

The  Community  shall  inform  Estonia  of  the  technical  and  administrative  measures  that  need  to 
be  introduced  by  both  Parties  in  order  to  implement  the  above  paragraphs  in  conformity  with

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  arc  subject  instead  to 
the  change  of  heading  rule  set  out  in  Article  6  (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 column  3. Where, in  some cases, the  entry  in  the  first  column  is  preceded 
by  an  *cx', this signifies  that  the  rule  in column  3  only  applies  to  the  part  of  that  heading  or chapter  as 
described  in  column  2. 

( 

1.2.  Where  several  heading  numbers  are  grouped  together  in  column  1  or  a  chapter  number  is  given  and 
the  description  of  product  in  column  2  is therefore  given  in general  terms,  the  adjacent  rule  in  column 
3  applies  to  all  products  which,  under  the  Harmonized  System,  are  classified  within  headings, of  the 
chapter  or  within  any  of  the  headings  grouped  together  in  column  1. 

1.3.  Where  there  are  different  rules  in  the  list  applying  to  different  products  within  a  heading,  each  indent 
contains  the  description  of  that  part of  the  heading  covered  by  the  adjacent  rule  in  column  3. 

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  6 ( 1)  applies.  If a  'change  of  heading' condition  applies  to  any  entry  in 
the  list,  then  it  is  contained  in  the  rule  in  column  3. 

2.2.  The  working  or  processing  required  by a  rule  in column  3  has  to  be carried  out  only  in  relation  to  the 
non-originating  materials  used. The  restrictions contained  in  a  rule  in  column  3  likewise  apply  only  to 
the  non-originating  materials  used. 

2.3.  Where  a  rule  states  that  'materials  of  any  heading'  may  be  used,  materials  of  the  same  heading  as  the 
product  may  also  be  used,  subject,  however, to  any specific  limitations  which  may a l s Ax  contained  in 
the  rule.  However,  the  expression  'manufacture  from  materials  of  any  heading,  including  other 
materials  of  heading  No  . . .'  means  that  only  materials  classified  in  the  same  heading  as  the  product 
of  a  different  description  than  that  of  the  product  as  given  in  column  2  of  the  list  may  be  used. 

2.4.  If  a  product  made  from  non-originating  materials  which  has  acquired  originating  status  during 
manufacture  by  virtue  of  the  change  of  heading  rule  or  its  own  list  rule  is  used  as  a  material  in  the 
.  process  of  manufacture  of  another  product,  then  the  rule  applicable  to  the  product  in  which  it  is 

incorporated  does  not  apply  to  it. 

For  example: 

An  engine  of  heading  No  8407,  for  which  the  rule  states  that  the  value  of  the  non-originating 
materials  which  may  be  incorporated  may not exceed 40 % of  the  ex-works  price,  is  made  from  'other 
alloy  steel  roughly  shaped  by  forging'  of  heading  No  7224. 

If  this  forging  has  been  forged  in  the  country  concerned  from  a  non-originating  ingot  then  the  forging 
has  already  acquired  origin  by  virtue  of  the  rule  for  heading  No  ex  7224  in  the  list.  It can  then  count 
as  originating  in  the value calculation  for  the engine  regardless of  whether  it was  produced  in  the  same 
factory  or  another.  The  value  of  the  non-originating ingot  is thus  not  taken  into  account  when  adding 
up  the  value  of  the  non-originating  materials  used.

*WKr""* 

2.5.  Even  if  the change  of  heading  rule or  the  other  rules contained  in  uie  ust  arc  saii^icu,  a  J J 'U U UU  ="'-J" 
not  acquire  originating  status  if  the  processing  carried  out,  taken  as  a  whole,  is  insufficient  within  the 
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. 

3.2.  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  docs  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  ha\*e  to  be  used;  one  can  use  one  or  the 
.other  or  both. 

If,  however,  a  restriction  applies  to  one  material  and  other  restrictions  apply  to  other  materials  in  the 
same  rule,  then  the  restrictions  only  apply  to  the  materials  actually  used. 

For  example: 

The  rule  for  sewing  machines  specifies  that  both  the  thread  tension  mechanism  used  and  the  zigzag 
mechanism  used  must  originate;  these  two  restrictions  only  apply  if  the  mechanisms  concerned  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  docs 
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  53051 

14  O 

4.3.  The  terms  'textile  pulp',  'chemical  materials'  arid  'paper-making  matériau*  are  used  in  the  list  to 
describe  the  materials  not  classified  in Chapters  50  to  63,  which  can  be  used io  manufacture  anificial, 
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, 

—  conon, 

—  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  conon  fibres  of  heading  No  5203  and  synthetic  staple  fibres 
of  heading  No  5506  is  a  mixed  yarn.  Therefore,  non-originating  synthetic  staple  fibres  that  do  not 
satisfy  the  origin  rules  (which  require  manufacture  from  chemical  materials  or  textile  pulp)  may  be 
used  up  to  a  weight  of  10%  of  the  yarn. 

For  example: 

A  woollen  fabric  of  heading  No  5112  made  from  woollen  yarn  of  heading  No  5107  and  synthetic 
yarn  of  staple  fibres  of  heading  No  5509  is  a  mixed  fabric.  Therefore  synthetic  yarn  which  does  not 
satisfy  the  origin  rules  (which  require  manufacture  from chemical  materials  or  textile  pulp)  or  woollen 
yarn  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  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  and  cotton 
fabric  of  heading  No  5210  is  only  a  mixed  product  if  the  cotton  fabric  is  itself  a  mixed  fabric  being 
made  from  yarns  classified  in  two  separate  headings  or  if  the  cotton  yarns  used  are  themselves 
mixtures. 

' 

For  example: 

If  the  tufted  textile  fabric  concerned  had  been  made  from  cotton  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  and 
synthetic  fabric  of  heading  No  5407,  then,  obviously,  the  yarns  used  are  two  separate  basic  textile 
materials  and  the  tufted  textile  fabric  is  accordingly  a  mixed  product. 

& 

For  example: 

A  carpet  with  tufts  made  from  both  artificial  yarns  and  conon  yarns  and  with  a  jute  backing  is  a 
mixed  product  because  three  basic  textile  materials  are  used.  Thus,  any  non-originating  materials  that 
arc  at  a  later  stage  of  manufacture  than  the  rule  allows  may  be  used,  provided  their  total  weight  taken 
together  does  not  exceed  1 0%  of  the  weight  of  the  textile  materials  in  the  carpet.  Thus,  both  the  jute 
backing  and/or  the  artificial  yarns  could  be  imported  at  that  stage of  manufacture,  provided  the  weight 
conditions  are  met. 

5.3.  In  the  case  of  fabrics  incorporating  'yarn  made  of  polyurethane  segmented  with  flexible  segments  of 

polyether  whether  or  not  gimped'  this  tolerance  is  2 0%  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  3 0%  in  respect  of  this 
strip. 

Note  6 

6.1. 

In  the  case  of  those  textile  products  which  ate  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  thafof  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.

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;

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.

are  determined,  within  this  Annex,  by CN codes. Where  there  is an *ex' symbol  in front  of a CN code, the 
products  covered  in  each  category  are  determined  by  the  scope  of  the  CN  code  and  by  that  of  the 
corresponding  description, 

2.  Garments  which are not recognizable as being garments for men or boys or as being garments for women or 

girls  are classified  with  the latter. 

3.  Where  the  expression  'babies'  garments'  is  used,  this  is  meant  to  cover  garments  up  to  and  including

The  annual  growth  rate  for  the  quantitative  limits  which  may  be  introduced  pursuant  to 
Article  5  of  the  Agreement  for  the  products  covered  by  the  Agreement  shall  be  fixed  by

Article  15  of  the  Agreement. 

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.

Agreed  Minute  No  2 

Notwithstanding  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,  that  need  to 
be  introduced  by  both  Parties  in  order  to  implement  the  above  paragraphs  in  conformity  with 
the  principles  of  the  Internal  Market.

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.

agreed  that,  from  the  date  of  request  for  and  pending  the  consultations  referred  to  in  Article  7

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  6  (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  column  3. Where,  in  some  cases,  the  entry  in  the  first  column  is  preceded 
by  an  'ex',  this  signifies  that  the  rule  in column  3 only  applies  to  the  part  of  that  heading  or  chapter  as 
described  in  column  2. 

1.2.  Where  several  heading  numbers  arc  grouped  together  in  column  1  or  a  chapter  number  is  given  and 
the  description  of  product  in  column  2  is  therefore  given  in  general  terms,  the  adjacent  rule  in  column 
3  applies  to  all  products  which,  under  the  Harmonized  System,  arc  classified  within  headings  of  the 
chapter  or  within  any  of  the  headings  grouped  together  in  column  1. 

1.3.  Where  there  are  different  rules  in  the  list  applying  to  different  products  within  a  heading,  each  indent 
contains  the  description  of  that  part  of  the  heading  covered  by  the  adjacent  rule  in  column  3. 

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  6  (1)  applies.  If  a  'change  of  heading* condition  applies  to  any  entry  in 
the  list,  then  it  is  contained  in  the  rule  in  column  3. 

2.2.  The  working  or  processing  required  by  a  rule  in  column  3  has  to  be  carried  out  only  in  relation  to  the 
non-originating  materials  used.  The  restrictions  contained  in  a  rule  in  column  3  likewise  apply  only  to 
the  non-originating  materials  used. 

2.3.  Where  a  rule  states  that  'materials  of  any  heading'  may  be  used,  materials  of  the  same  heading  as  the 
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 
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  4 0%  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  a 
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  shall 
not  acquire  originating  status  if  the  processing  carried  out,  taken  as  a  whole,  is  insufficient  within  the 
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 
materia!  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  manufacrured  from  more  than  one  material, 

this  means  that  any  one  or  more  materials  may  be  used.  It  does  not  require  that  all  be  used. 

For  example: 

The  rule  for  fabrics  say  that  natural  fibres  may  be  used  and  that  chemical  materials,  among  other 
materials,  may  also  be  used.  This  does  not  mean  that  both  have  to  be  used;  one  can  use  one  or  the 
other  or  both. 

* 

If,  however,  a  restriction  applies  to  one  material  and  other  restrictions  apply  to  other  materials  in  the 
same  rule,  then  the  restrictions  only  apply  to  the  materials  actually  used. 

For  example: 

The  rule  for  sewing  machines  specifies  that  both  the  thread  tension  mechanism  used  and  the  zigzag 
mechanism  used  must  originate;  these  two  restrictions  only  apply  if  the  mechanisms  concerned  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. 

Sec  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

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.

4.3.  The  terms  'textile  pulp',  'chemical  materials'  and  'paper-making  materials'  are  used  in  the  list  to 
describe  rhe  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  1 0%  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, 

—  w o o l, 

—  coarse  animal  hair, 

—  fine  animal  hair, 

—  horsehair, 

—  conon, 

—  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  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  1 0%  of  the  yarn. 

For  example: 

A  woollen  fabric  of  heading  No  5112  made  from  woollen  yarn  of  heading  No  5107  and  synthetic 
yarn  of  staple  fibres  of  heading  No  5509  is  a  mixed  fabric.  Therefore  synthetic  yarn  which  does  not 
satisfy  the  origin  rules  (which  require  manufacture  from  chemical  materials  or  textile  pulp)  or  woollen 
yarn  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  1 0%  of  the  fabric. 

For  example: 

Tufted  textile  fabric  of  heading  No  5802  made  from  cotton  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  and  cotton 
fabric  of  heading  No  5210  is  only  a  mixed  product  if  the  cotton  fabric  is  itself  a  mixed  fabric  being 
made  from  yarns  classified 
in  two  separate  headings  or  if  the  cotton  yarns  used  are  themselves 
mixtures. 

For  example: 

If  the  tufted 
textile  fabric  concerned  had  been  made  from  cotton  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  and 
synthetic  fabric  of  heading  No  5407,  then,  obviously,  the  yarns  used  arc  two  separate  basic  textile 
materials  and  the  tufted  textile  fabric  is  accordingly  a  mixed  product. 

// 

4*u 

For  example: 

A  carpet  with  tufts  made  from  both  artificial  yarns  and  cotton  yarns  and  with  a  jure  backing  is  a 
mixed  product  because  three  basic  textile  materials  are  used. Thus,  any  non-originating  materials  that 
are at  a  later  stage  of  manufacture  than  the  rule allows may  be used,  provided  their total  weight  taken 
together  does  not  exceed  10 % of  the  weight  of  the  textile  materials  in  the  carpet.  Thus,  both  the  jute 
backing  and/or  the  artificial  yarns could  be  imported  at  that  stage  of  manufacture,  provided  the  weight 
conditions  are  met. 

5.3.  In  the  case  of  fabrics  incorporating  'yarn  made  of  polyurethane  segmented  with  flexible  segments  of 

polyether  whether  or  not  gimped'  this  tolerance  is  2 0%  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  3 0%  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  the" product  and  that  their  value  docs  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  burtons,  because  buttons  arc  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.

Declaration  by the French  Government 

?$Z 

France  notes  that  the  Europe  Agreement  with  the  Republic  of  Latvia  does  not  apply  to  the 
overseas  countries  and  territories  associated  with  the  European  Community  pursuant  to  the 
Treaty establishing the European  Community. 

Declarations  by the Republic of Latvia 

1. Article 34 

The existing  diagonal cumulation shall be introduced  between the EU  and the Baltic  States, 
treated  as one territory for the purposes to be involved in European  cumulation with  a view 
to reach the full  cumulation and improve market access for  originating products. 

2. Chapter  I 
Movement  of workers 

Interpretation  of the terms "nationality" and "nationals" 

The Republic of Latvia interprets the terms used in the text of the  Agreement: 

-"nationality"  as equal to the term "citizenship" 
-"Latvian nationals" as equal to the term "persons who have Latvian citizenship" 

3.Article 79 

Latvia  considers  the  exchange  of  information  on  the  agricultural  price  level  in  the 
Community market as crucial for this cooperation. 

/ 

.  / 

/j 

.  Taking  into  account  the  intention  of  both  Parties  ot  start  negotiations  on  a  Europe 
Agreement  as  soon  as possible, Latvia  expressed  its interest  that  during  these  negotiations 
trade  in  textile  and  agricultural  products  could  be  renegotiated  with  an  aim  to  provide 
appropriate  adjustment  to  deepen  mutual trade liberalization  following  the accession  of the 
Scandinavian countries to the European Union.

functioning  of this Agreement. 

The  safeguard  measures  shall  be  notified  immediately  to  the  Association  Council  and  shall

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; 

(b)  as  regards  Article 29,  the  Association  Council  shall  be  informed  of  the  dumping  case  as 
soon as the authorities of the importing Party have initiated  an investigation.  If no end has 
been  put  to  the  dumping  or  if no  other  satisfactory  solution  has  been  reached  within  30 
days  of  the  matter  being  referred  to  the  Association  Council,  the  importing  Party  m 
adopt the appropriate  measures; 

(c)  as regards  Article 31,  the  difficulties  arising from the  situations  referred  to  in that  Article 

shall be referred  for  examination to the Association Council. 

The Association  Council 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  on  the  exportation  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  Lithuania  whichever  is 
concerned  may,  in the  situations  specified  in  Articles 29,  30  and  31,  apply  forthwith  the 
precautionary  measures strictly necessary to deal with the situation.

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. 

ARTICLE 36

pursue  regulated  professional  activities  in  Lithuania  and  the  Community  respectively,  the 
Association  Council  shall  examine  which  steps  are  necessary  to  be  taken  to  provide  for  the 
mutual  recognition  of qualifications.  It  may  take  all necessary  measures  to  that  end. 

ARTICLE  51 

During  the transitional  period  referred  to  in Article  3, Lithuania  may  introduce  measures  which 
derogate  from  the  provisions  of  this  Chapter  as  regards  the  establishment  of  Community 
companies  and  nationals  if certain  industries : 

are undergoing  restnicturing,  or 

& 

- are  facing  serious  difficulties,  particularly  where  these  entail  serious  social  problems  in 

Lithuania, or 

- face  the  eliniination  or  a  drastic  reduction  of  the  total  market  share  held  by  Lithuanian 

companies or nationals in a given sector or industry in Lithuania, or 

- are newly emerging industries in Lithuania. 

Such measures : 

- shall cease to  apply  at the  latest  upon the  expiration  of the transitional  period  referred  to  in 

Article 3 and 

- shall be reasonable and necessary in order to remedy the situation, and 
-  shall only relate to  establishments in Lithuania to be created  after  the  entry  into force  of such 
measures  and  shall  not  introduce  discrimination  concerning  the  operations  of  Community 
companies or nationals  already established  in Lithuania at the time of introduction  of a given 
measure compared with Lithuanian companies or nationals. 

While  devising  and  applying  such  measures,  Lithuania  shall  grant  whenever  possible  to 
Community  companies  and  nationals  a preferential  treatment,  and  in  no  case  a  treatment  less 
favourable than that accorded to companies or nationals from any third  country. 

Prior to the introduction of these measures, Lithuania shall consult the Association Council and 
shall  not  put  them  into  effect  before  a  one-month  period  following  the  notification  of  the 
Association Council of the concrete measures to be introduced  by Lithuania,  except  where the 
threat  of  irreparable  damage  requires  the  taking  of urgent  measures  in  which  case  Lithuania 
shall consult the Association Council immediately after their  introduction. 

Upon  expiration  of  the  transitional  period  referred  to  in  Article  3,  Lithuania  may  introduce 
such  measures  only  with  the  authorisation  of  the  Association  Council  and  under  conditions 
determined by the latter.

negotiating  for  the  sale  of  services  or  entering  into  agreements  to  sell  services  for  that 
service provider,  where those representatives  will not  be  engaged  in making  direct  sales  to 
the general public or in supplying services themselves.

the day of entry into force  of the  Agreement. 

2.  If one Party is of the view that measures introduced  by the other Party since the signature  of 
the  Agreement  result  in  a  situation  which  is  significantly  more  restrictive  in  respect  of 
supply  of  services  as  compared  with  the  situation  existing  at  the  date  of  signature  of  the 
Agreement,  such first Party may request the other Party to enter into consultations.

opportunity  to ply for  trade to  and from  the third  country  concerned; 

c)  prohibit  cargo  sharing  arrangements  in  future  bilateral  agreements  concerning  dry  and 

liquid bulk trade; 

d)  abolish  upon  entry  into  force  of  this  Agreement  all  unilateral  measures,  administrative,

4^5 

Each Party  shall grant,  inter  alia,  no  less favourable  treatment  for  the  ships  operated  by 
nationals or  companies  of the other Party than that  accorded  to  a Party's own  ships with

5.  With  a  view  to  assuring  a  coordinated  development  and  progressive  liberalisation  of 
transport  between the Parties,  adapted  to  their  reciprocal  commercial  needs, the  conditions 
of  mutual  market  access  and  provision  of  services  in  transport  by  road,  rail  and  inland 
waterways  and,  if  applicable,  in  air  transport  shall  be  dealt  with  by  specific  transport 
agreements  where  appropriate,  negotiated  between the Parties  after  entry  into  force  of this 
Agreement. 

6.  Prior  to  the  conclusion  of  the  agreements  referred  to  in  paragraph  5,  the Parties  shall  not 
take any measures  or actions which are more restrictive or discriminatory  as compared  with 
the situation existing on the day preceding the day of entry into force  of the Agreement. 

7.  During  the  transitional  period,  Lithuania  shall  progressively  adapt  its  legislation  including 
administrative, technical and other rules to that of the Community legislation  existing  at any 
time  in  the  field  of  road,  rail,  inland  waterway  and  air  transport  in  so  far  as  it  serves 
liberalisation  purposes  and  mutual  access  to  markets  of  the  Parties  and  facilitates  the 
movement  of passengers and of goods. 

8.  In  step with  the  common  progress  in the achievement  of the  objectives  of this  chapter,  the 
Association  Council  shall  examine ways  of creating the  conditions  necessary  for  improving

provision, complete free movement  of capital for  all of these investments shall be ensured  by

Agreement,  and Lithuania  as from  the end  of the transitional  period  referred  to  in Article 3, 
shall  not  introduce  any  new  restrictions  on  the  movement  of  capital  and  current  payments

Chapter H: Competition  and  other economic  provisions 

.  ARTICLE 64 

1.  The  following  are  incompatible  with  the  proper  functioning  of  this  Agreement,  insofar  as 

they may affect  trade between the Community and Lithuania: 

(i) 

(ii) 

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; 
abuse  by  one  or  more  undertakings  of  a  dominant  position  in  the  territories  of  the 
Community or of Lithuania 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 
Community  or,  for  products  covered  by  the  ECSC  Treaty,  on  the  basis  of  corresponding 
rules of the ECSC Treaty including secondary legislation. 

3.  The Association Council shall, by 31 December  1997, 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  paragraphs  1 point (iii)  and  related  parts  of 
paragraph 2. 

4.  (a)For  the  purposes  of  applying  the  provisions  of  paragraph  1  point (iii),  the  Parties 
recognize  that  until  31  December  1999,  any  public  aid  granted  by  Lithuania  shall  be 
assessed  taking into account  the fact  that Lithuania  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.  The  Association  Council  shall,  taking  into  account  the 
economic  situation  of  Lithuania,  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 III: 

- 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  Community  and  in  particular  of  those  established  in  Council  Regulation 
No  26/1962.

6. Jf  the Community  or Lithuania  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 Association  Council  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 65 

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  Lithuania  is  in  serious  balance  of  payments 
difficulties,  or under imminent  threat  thereof,  the Community  or Lithuania,  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 Lithuania,  as the  case  may be,  shall  inform  the 
other Party  forthwith. 

(  ) 

3.  Any restrictive  measures  shall  not  apply to  transfers  related  to  investments  and  in  particular 
to the repatriation  of amounts  invested  or reinvested  and  of any kind, of revenues  stemming 
therefrom. 

ARTICLE 66 

With regard  to  public undertakings,  and  undertakings  to  which  special  or  exclusive  rights  have 
been  granted,  the Association  Council  shall  ensure that  as from  1 January  1998, the  principles 
of the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community,  notably  Article  90,  and  the  principles  of 
the  concluding  document  of the  April  1990 Bonn  meeting  of the  Conference  on  Security  and 
Cooperation  in Europe,  notably  entrepreneurs' freedom  of decision,  are upheld.

enforcing  such rights. 

3.  By  end  of  the  transitional  period  referred  to  in  Article  3,  Lithuania  shall  accede  to  the 
multilateral conventions on intellectual, industrial and commercial  property rights referred  to in

objective. 

2.  The Lithuanian  companies  as defined  in Article  46  of this  Agreement,  shall  be granted  access 
to  contract  award  procedures  in  the  Community  pursuant  to  Community  procurement  rules 
under, a  treatment  no  less  favourable  than  that  accorded  to  Community  companies  as  of  the 
entry into force  of this Agreement. 

Community  companies in the  sense of Article 46  of this Agreement  shall  be  granted  access  to 
contract  award  procedures  in  Lithuania  under  a  treatment  no  less  favourable  than  that

shall have upon  entry  into force  of this Agreement  access to  contract  award  procedures  under 
a  treatment  no  less  favourable  than  that  accorded  to  Lithuanian  companies.  Community 
companies  established  in Lithuania in the form  of branches and  agencies  as described  in  Article 
46 shall be granted  such treatment  at the latest by the  end  of the transitional  period  referred  to 
in Article 3.

93/38/EEC  of  14 June  1993 once  Lithuania  has introduced  the appropriate  legislation. 

4 91. 

The Association Council shall periodically examine the possibility for Lithuania to  introduce 
-access to  award  procedures  in Lithuania  for  all Community  companies  prior  to  the  end  of 
the transitional  period.

Chapter HI: Approximation  of laws 

ARTICLE 69

Community  is  the  approximation  of  Lithuania's  existing  and  future  legislation  to  that  of  the

compatible with that of the Community.

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),  Lithuania  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  Lithuania  on  the  basis  of  export  licences  obtained  before  the  date  of  formal 
notification  to  Lithuania  by  the  Community  about  the  introduction  of  the  above  limits. 

The  Community  shall  inform  Lithuania  of  the  technical  and  administrative  measures,  that  need 
to  be  introduced  by  both  Parties "in  order  to  implement  the  above  paragraphs  in  conformity 
with  the  principles  of  the  internal  market.

of  Lithuania  on  trade  in  textile  and  clothing  products,  initialled  at  Brussels  on  20 July  1993,  the

products  serving  as  inputs  for  their  processing  industry. 

The  Community  and  Lithuania  further  agreed  to  hold  consultations,  should  the  need  arise,  in

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  6  (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  rhe  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  column  3. Where,  in  some  cases,  the  entry  in  the  first  column  is  preceded 
by  an  'ex',  this  signifies  that  the  rule  in column  3 only  applies  to  the  part  of  that  heading  or  chapter  as 
described  in  column  2. 

1.2.  Where  several  heading  numbers  are  grouped  together  in  column  1  or  a  chapter  number  is  given  and 
the  description  of  product  in  column  2  is  therefore  given  in  general  terms,  the  adjacent  rule  in  column 
3  applies  to  all  products  which,  under  the  Harmonized  System,  are  classified  within  headings  of  the 
chapter  or  within  any  of  the  headings  grouped  together  in  column  1. 

1.3.  Where  there  are  different  rules  in  the  list  applying  to  different  products  within  a  heading,  each  indent 
contains  the  description  of  that  part  of  the  heading  covered  by  the  adjacent  rule  in  column  3. 

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  6  (1)  applies.  If  a  'change  of  heading'  condition  applies  to  any  entry  in 
the  list,  then  it  is  contained  in  the  rule'in  column  3. 

2.2.  The  working  or  processing  required  by  a  rule  in  column  3  has  to  be  carried  out  only  in  relation  to  the 
non-originating  materials  used.  The  restrictions  contained  in  a  rule  in  column  3  likewise  apply  only  to 
the  non-originating  materials  used. 

2.3.  Where  a  rule  states  that  'materials  of  any  heading'  may  be  used,  materials  of  the  same  heading  as  the 
product  may  also  be  used,  subject,  however,  to  any  specific  limitations  which  may  also  be contained  in 
'manufacture  from  materials  of  any  heading,  including  other 
the  rule.  However,  the  expression 
materials  of  heading  No  . . .'  means  that  only  materials  classified  in  the  same  heading  as  the  product 
of  a  different  description  than  that  of  the  product  as  given  in  column  2  of  the  list  may  be  used. 

2.4. 

If  a  product  made  from  non-originating  materials  which  has  acquired  originating  status  during 
manufacture  by  virtue  of  the  change  of  heading  rule  or  its  own  list  rule  is  used  as  a  material  in  the 
process  of  manufacture  of  another  product,  then  the  rule  applicable  to  the  product  in  which  it  is 
incorporated  does  not  apply  to  it. 

For  example: 

An  engine  of  heading  No  8407,  for  which  the  rule  states  that  che  value  of  the  non-originating 
materials  which  may  be  incorporated  may  not  exceed  4 0%  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. 

64A 

m 

2.5.  Even  if  the  change  of  heading  rule  or  thc  other  rules  contained  in  the  list  are  satisfied,  a  product  shall 
not  acquire  originating  status  if  the  processing  carried  out,  taken  as  a  whole,  is  insufficient  within  the 
meaning  of  Article  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,  rhe  carrying 
out  of  less  working  or  processing  cannot  confer  origin.  Thus  if  a  rule  says  that  non-originating 
material  at  a  certain  level  of  manufacture  may  be  used,  the  use  of  such  material  at  an  earlier  stage  of 
manufacture  is  allowed  and  the  use  of  such  material  at  a  later  stage  is  not. 

3.2.  When  a  rule  in  the  list  specifies  that  a  product  may  be  manufactured  from  more  than  one  material, 
this  means  that  any  one  or  more  materials  may  be  used.  It  does  not  require  that  all  be  used. 

For  example: 

The  rule  for  fabrics  say  that  natural  fibres  may  be  used  and  that  chemical  materials,  among  other 
materials,  may  also  be  used.  This  does  not  mean  that  both  have  to  be  used;  one  can  use  one  or  the 
other  or  both. 

If,  however,  a  restriction  applies  to  one  material  and  other  restrictions  apply  to  other  materials  in  the 
same  rule,  then  the  restrictions  only  apply  to  the  materials  actually  used. 

For  example: 

The  rule  for  sewing  machines  specifies  that  both  the  thread  tension  mechanism  used  and  the  zigzag 
mechanism  used  must  originate;  these  two  restrictions  only  apply  if  the  mechanisms  concerned  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 
the  percentages  given. 
all 
Furthermore,  the  individual  percentages  must  not  be  exceeded  in  relation  to  the  particular  materials 
they  apply  to. 

the  non-originating  materials  used  may  never  exceed  the  highest  of 

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.

1>? 

4.3.  Die  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  1 0%  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, 

—  synrhetic  man-made  filaments, 

—  artificial  man-made  filaments, 

—  synthetic  man-made  staple  fibres» 

—  artificial  man-made  staple  fibres. 

For  example: 

A  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  made  from  cotton  fibres  of  heading  No  5203  and  synthetic  staple  fibres 
of  heading  No  5506  is  a  mixed  yarn.  Therefore,  non-originaring  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  1 0%  of  the  yarn. 

For  example: 

A  woollen  fabric  of  heading  No  5112  made  from  woollen  yarn  of  heading  No  5107  and  synthetic 
yarn  of  staple  fibres  of  heading  No  5509  is  a  mixed  fabric.  Therefore  synthetic  yarn  which  docs  not 
satisfy  the  origin  rules  (which  require  manufacture  from  chemical  materials  or  textile  pulp)  or  woollen 
yarn  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  1 0%  of  the  fabric. 

For  example: 

Tufted  textile  fabric  of  heading  No  5802  made  from  cotton  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  and  cotton 
fabric  of  heading  No  5210  is  only  a  mixed  product  if  the  cotton  fabric  is  itself  a  mixed  fabric  being 
made  from  yarns  classified 
in  two  separate  headings  or  if  the  cotton  yarns  used  are  themselves 
mixtures. 

For  example: 

If  the  tufted  textile  fabric  concerned  had  been  made  from  cotton  yarn  of  heading  No  5205  and 
synthetic  fabric  of  heading  No  5407,  then,  obviously,  the  yarns  used  are  two  separate  basic  textile 
materials  and  the  tufted  textile  fabric  is  accordingly  a  mixed  product.

1>7 

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  matcriais  in  the  carpet.  Thus,  both  the  jute 
backing  and/or  the  artificial  yarns  could  be  imported  at  that  stage  of  manufacture,  provided  the  weight 
conditions  are  met. 

5.3.  In  the  case  of  fabrics  incorporating  'yarn  made  of  polyurethane  segmented  with  flexible  segments  of 

polyether  wherher  or  not  gimped'  this  tolerance  is  2 0%  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  3 0%  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  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  nor  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.
