PROTOCOL NO 1 

CONCERNING THE ARANGEMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE IMPORTATION 
JNTOTHE COMMUNITY  OF AGRICULTURAL  PRODUCTS ORGINATING  IN 
ISRAEL 

Article 1 

1. 

2. 

The  products  listed  in  the  Annex,  originating  in  Israel,  shall  be  admitted  for 
importation into the Community, according to the conditions contained hereafter  and 
in the Annex. 

a) 

b) 

Customs duties are eliminated or reduced as indicated in column "a". 

For  certain  products,  for  which  the  Common  Customs  Tariff  foresees  the 
application  of  an ad valorem  duty  and a specific  duty, the  rates  of  reduction, 
indicated in columns  "a" and "c", only apply to the ad valorem duty.  However, 
for  the  products  corresponding  to  the  Codes  020722,  020742  and  220421, 
the duty reductions are applied as indicated in column "e". 

3. 

For certain products, customs duties are eliminated within the limit of the tariff  quotas 
listed in column "b" for each of them. 

For the quantities  imported in excess of the quotas, the common customs duties are, 
according to the product concerned, applied in full or reduced, as indicated in column 

4. 

For  certain products  exempt  from  customs  duties,  reference  quantities  are fixed  as 
indicated in column "d". 

Should the volume  of  imports  of  one  of  the  products  exceed the  reference  quantity, 
the  Community  having  regard to an annual  review of  trade flows  which  it  shall  carry 
out,  may  make  the  product  in  question  subject  to  a  Community  tariff  quota,  the 
volume of which shall be equal to the reference  quantity.  In that case, for  quantities 
imported  in  excess  of  the  quota,  the  common  customs  duty  is,  according  to  the 
product concerned, applied in full or reduced as indicated in column "c". 

5. 

6. 

For  some  of  the  products  indicated  in  paragraph  3  and  in  column  "e",  the  tariff 
quotas  are  increased  from  1st  January  1997  to  1st  January  2000  on  the  basis  of 
four equal instalments, each corresponding to 3% of these amounts. 

As  indicated  in  column  "e",  for  some  products  other  than  those  indicated  in 
paragraphs  3 and  4, the Community  may fix  a  reference  quantity  as  provided for  in 
paragraph 4 if, in the light of the annual review of trade flows which it shall carry  out, 
it establishes that the volume  of  imports of  a product  or products threatens to  cause 
difficulties on the Community  market.  If, subsequently, the product  is subjected to  a 
tariff  quota  under  the  conditions  set  out  in  paragraph  4, for  quantities  imported  in 
excess  of  the  quota,  the  customs  duty  is,  according  to  the  product  concerned, 
applied in full or reduced, as indicated in column "c".

2, 

3 

4 

5. 

6. 

The  products listed in the Annex originating in the Community shall be admitted for 
importation Into Israel according to the conditions contained herein and in the Annex. 

Import  duties  on  Imports  are  either  eliminated  or  reduced  to the  level  indicated  in 
column "a", within the limit of the tariff  quota listed in column "b", and subject to the 
specific provisions indicated in column "c". 

For the quantities imported in excess of the tariff quotas, the general customs duties 
applied  to  third  countries  will  apply,  subject  to  the  specific  provisions  indicated  in 
column "c . 

For certain products for which no tariff  quota  is fixed, reference  quantities  are  fixed 
as indicated in column "c". 

Should the volume of imports of one of the  products exceed the  reference quantity, 
Israel,  having  regard to  an  annual  review  of  trade  flows  which, if  carried  out,  may 
make the product in question subject to a  tariff  quota, the volume of which shall be 
equal to the reference quantity.  In that case, for quantities imported in excess of the 
quota, the duty referred to in paragraph 3 shall apply. 

For products for which neither  a  tariff  quota  nor a  reference  quantity  is fixed,  Israel 
may  fix  a  reference  quantity  as  provided  for  in  paragraph  4  if,  in  the  light  of  an 
annual review of trade flows which it shall carry out, it establishes that the volume of 
imports of a product or products threatens to cause difficulties on the  Israeli market. 
If, subsequently, the  product  is subjected  to  a  tariff  quota  under  the  conditions  set 
out in paragraph 4, the provisions of paragraph 3 shall apply. 

For  cheese  and  curd,  the  tariff  quota  is  increased  from  1st  January  1997  to  1st 
January 2000 on the basis of four equal instalments, each corresponding to  10% of 
this amount.

Article 6 
Insufficient  working or processing  operations 

The  following  operations  shall  be  considered  as  insufficient  working  or  processing  to 
confer the  status  of  originating  products,  whether  or  not  the  requirements  of  Article  5 
are satisfied: 

(a)  operations  to  ensure  the  preservation  of  products  in  good  condition  during 
transport  and  storage  (ventilation,  spreading  out,  drying,  chilling,  placing  in  salt,

(g)  a combination of two or more operations specified in subparagraphs (a) to (f);

Article 7 
Unit of qualification 

1. The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be 
the  particular  product  which  is  considered  as  the  basic  unit  when  determining 
classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System. 

Accordingly, it follows that: 

(a)  when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under 
the terms of the Harmonized System in a single  heading, the whole constitutes the 
unit of qualification; 

(b) when a consignment consists of a number of  identical products classified under 
the  same  heading  of  the  Harmonized  System,  each  product  must  be  taken 
individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol. 

2. Where, under general rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packaging is included with 

the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of 
determining origin.

apparatus or vehicle, which are part of the normal equipment and included in the price 
thereof or which are not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of 
equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question. 

Article 9 
Sets 

Sets,  as  defined  in  general  rule  3  of  the  Harmonized  System, shall  be  regarded  as 
originating when all component  products are originating.  Nevertheless, when a set is 
composed  of  originating  and  non-originating  products,  the  set  as  a  whole  shall  be 
regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not 
exceed 15 per cent of the ex-works price of the set. 

Article  10 
Neutral elements 

In order to determine whether a product originates in the Community or in Israel it shall 
not be necessary to establish whether the electrical energy, fuel, plant and equipment 
as well as machines and tools used to obtain such product, or whether any goods, used 
in the course of production which do not enter and which were not intended to enter into 
the final composition of the product, are originating or not.

The customs authorities shall monitor the use of the authorization  by the  approved 
exporter. 

The  customs authorities  may  withdraw  the  authorization  at  any  time.  They  shall 
do so where the approved exporter  no longer  offers  the  guarantees  referred  to  in 
paragraph  1,  does  not fulfil the conditions  referred to  in paragraph  2 or  otherwise 
makes an incorrect use of the authorization. 

Article 24 
Validity of proof of origin 

1. A movement certificate  EUR.1 shall be valid for four  months from the date of  issue  in 
the  exporting  country,  and  must  be  submitted  within  the  said  period to  the  customs 
authorities of the importing country. 

An invoice declaration shall be valid for four  months from the date it was made out by 
the exporter  and must be submitted within the  said period to the  customs  authorities 
of the importing country. 

2.  Movement  certificates  EUR.1  and  invoice  declarations  which  are  submitted  to  the 
customs  authorities  of  the  importing  country  after  the  final  date  for  presentation 
specified  in  paragraph  1  may  be  accepted  for  the  purpose  of  applying  preferential 
treatment, where the failure to submit these documents  by the final date set is due to 
reasons of  force majeure or exceptional circumstances. 

3.  In  other  cases  of  belated  presentation,  the  customs  authorities  of  the  importing 
country  may  accept  the  movement  certificates  EUR.1  or  invoice  declarations  where 
the products have been submitted to them before the said final date. 

Article 25 
Submission of proof of origin 

Movement  certificates  EUR.1  and  invoice  declarations  shall  be  submitted  to  the 
customs  authorities  of  the  importing  country  in  accordance  with  the  procedures 
applicable  in that country.  The said authorities may require a translation of a  movement 
certificate  EUR.1  or  an  invoice  declaration.  They  may  also  require  the  import 
declaration  to  be  accompanied  by  a  statement from  the  importer  to  the  effect  that  the 
products meet the^onditions required for the implementation of the Agreement. 

Article  26 
Importation by instalments 

Where,  at  the  request  of  the  importer  and on the  conditions  laid down  by the  customs 
authorities  of  the  importing  country,  dismantled  or  non-assembled  products  within  the 
meaning  of  general  rule 2(a)  of  the  Harmonized  System falling within Sections  XVI  and 
XVII  or  heading  N°S  7308  and  9406  of  the  Harmonized  System  are  imported  by 
instalments, a single proof  of  origin for  such products  shall be submitted to the  customs 
authorities  upon importation of the first instalment.

Article  27 
Exemptions from formal proof of origin 

1.  Products  sent as small  packages from  private  persons to  private  persons  or  forming 
part of  travellers'  personal  luggage  shall  be admitted  as  originating  products  without 
requiring the submission  of  a formal proof  of  origin, provided that such  products  are 
not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of 
this  Protocol and where there  is no doubt as to the veracity of  such a declaration.  In 
the  case  of  products  sent  by  post,  this  declaration  can  be  made  on  the  customs 
declaration C2/CP3 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document. 

2.  Imports  which  are  occasional  and  consist  solely  of  products  for  the  personal  use  of 
the  recipients or travellers or their families  shall not be considered as imports by way 
of  trade  if  it  is  evident  from  the  nature  and  quantity  of  the  products  that  no 
commercial purpose is in view. 

3. Furthermore, the total value of these  products  must  not exceed  ECU 500 in the  case 
of  small  packages  or  ECU  1 200  in the  case  of  products  forming  part  of  travellers' 
personal luggage.

Discrepancies and formal errors 

1.  The  discovery  of  slight  discrepancies  between  the  statements  made  in a  movement 
certificate  EUR.1,  or  in  an  invoice  declaration  and  those  made  in  the  documents 
submitted  to  the  customs  office  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  out  the  formalities  for 
importing the products shall not ipso  facto render the movement  certificate  EUR.1,  or 
the  invoice  declaration  null and void  if  it  is duly  established  that  this document  does 
correspond to the products submitted. 

2.  Obvious formal  errors  such as typing  errors on  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1,  or  an 
invoice declaration should not cause this document to  be  rejected  if these  errors  are

Article 30 
Amounts expressed in ECUs 

1. Amounts in the national currency of the exporting country equivalent to the amounts 
expressed in ECUs shall be fixed by the exporting country and communicated to the 

•"  other Parties. 

When  the  amounts  exceed  the  corresponding  amounts  fixed  by  the  importing 
country, the latter shall accept them if the products are invoiced in the currency of the 
exporting country. 

If the goods are invoiced in the currency of another Member State of the Community 
the importing State shall recognise the amount notified by the country concerned. 

2.  Up to and including  30 April 2000  , the  amounts to  be used in any given  national 
currency shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the amounts expressed 
in ECUs as at 1  October 1994. 

For each successive period of five years, the amounts expressed in ECUs and their 
equivalents  in  the  national  currencies  of  the  States  shall  be  reviewed  by  the 
Cooperation  Council on the  basis of  the  exchange  rates of  the  ECU as at the first 
working day in October in the year immediately preceding that five-years period. 

When carrying out this review, the Cooperation Council shall ensure that there will be 
no  decrease  in  the  amounts  to  be  used  in  any  national  currency  and  shall 
furthermore consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned 
in real terms.  For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in 
ECUs.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION 

Article 31 
Communication of stamps and addresses 

The customs authorities  of  the  Member  States and of  Israel 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 declarations. 

Article 32 
Verification of proof of origin 

1.  Subsequent verification of  movement certificates  EUR.1 and of  invoice declarations 
shall be, carried out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the importing 
state have reasonable doubt as to 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, and 
the  invoice  , if it has been submitted, or 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. 

They, shall  forward,  in  support  of  the  request  for  subsequent  verification,  any 
documents and information that have been obtained suggesting that the information 
given on the movement certificate EUR.1 or the invoice declaration is incorrect. 

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 period 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. 

Where the cumulation provisions of Articles 3.2 and 18.4 were applied, the reply shall 
include a copy (copies) of the movement certificate(s) or invoice declaration(s) relied 
upon. 

2 r 

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  the  case  of  force  majeure  or  in  exceptional  circumstances,  refuse 
entitlement to the preferences. 

Article 33 
Dispute settlement 

Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 31 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 34 
Penalties 

Penalties  shall  be  imposed  on any  person who draws  up, or  causes  to  be drawn  up, a 
document  which  contains 
the  purpose  of  obtaining  a

ANNEX I 

INTRODUCTORY  NOTES 

Preliminary  remarks 

The rules established in the present list are only applicable to products covered by the 

Agreement. 

Notel 

1.1,  The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained.  The first column  gives  the 

heading  number  or  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. 

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 

rules in column 3 or 4. 

; 

1.4  Where, for any  entry  in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns  3 and 4, 

the exporter  may opt, as an alternative, to apply either thé rule set out in column 3 or  that 

set out in column 4. If  no origin  rule is given in column 4, the  rule set out  in column  3  has 

to be applied. 

Note 2 

2.1.  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. 

r 

87 d 

2.2.  Where  a rule states that  "materials of any heading" may be used, matenals  of the  sane 

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. 

2.3. 

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 wa's 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. 

2.4.  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. 

2.5  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. 

88 

Example: 

The rule for fabrics  of  ex  Chapter  50 to  Chapter  55  provides  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; it is possible to use one or the other or both. 

2.6.  Where 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.  (See  also  Note  5.2  below  in 

relation to textlies.). 

Example: 

The  rule  for  prepared  food  of  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. 

However,  this does not apply to products which, although  they cannot  be  manufactured 

from the particular  material  specified  in the  list, can  be  produced from  a  material  of  the 

same nature at an earlier stage of manifacture. 

Example: 

In the case  of an article  of apparel  of  ex Chapter  62  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. 

2.7.  Where,  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. 

In other  words,  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. 

89 

Note 3 

3.1.  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. 

3.2.  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. 

3.3.  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 yams. 

3.4.  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 4 

4.1.  Where for a given  product  in the list a reference  is made to this note, the conditions set 

out  in  column  3  shall  not  be  applied  to  any  basic  textile  materials,  used  in  the 

manufacture  of  this  product,  which,  taken  together,  represent  10%  or  less  of  the  total 

weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 4.3 and 4.4 below). 

4.2.  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, 

90 

- 

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. 

Example: 

A yam of  heading  No 5205  made from  cotton fibres  of  heading  No  5203  and  synthetic 

staple  fibres  of  heading  No  5506  is a  mixed yarn.  Therefore,  non-originating  synthetic 

staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical 

materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10% of the yarn. 

Example: 

A woollen fabric of  heading  No 5112  made  from woollen  yarn of  heading  No  5107  and 

synthetic yam of staple fibres of heading No 5509 is a mixed fabric.  Therefore  synthetic 

yam  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. 

Example: 

Tufted textile fabric of  heading  N6 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. 

Example: 

If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yam of heading'No 5205 

and  synthetic  fabric  of  heading  No  5407,  then,  obviously,  the  yams  used  are  two 

separate  basic  textile  materials  and  the  tufted  textile  fabric  is  accordingly  a  mixed 

product 

91 

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 

ron-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. 

4.3. 

In the case  of fabrics  incorporating  "yarn made  of polyurethane  segmented  with flexible 

segments  of  polyether  whether  or  not  gimped"  this  tolerance  is 20%  in  respect  of  this 

yam. 

4.4. 

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 5 

5.1. 

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. 

5.2.  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. 

5.3.  Where  a  percentage  rule  applies, the  value  of  materials  which are  not  classified  within 

Chapters  50  to  63  must  be  taken  into  account  when  calculating  the  value  of  the  non-

originating materials incorporated.

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;

Exchange of letters between the  European Community  (The  Community')  and  Israel 
relating to Article 1 of Protocol  1 and concerning  imports  into the Community  of 
fresh cut flowers and flower  buds falling within  subheading  06.03.10 of the  Common 
Customs Tariff 

A.  Letter from the Community 

Sir, 

The following was agreed between the Community and Israel: 

Article  1 of the Protocol  1 provides for the elimination of  customs duties on imports  into  the 
Community  of  cut flowers  and flower  buds, fresh, falling within  subheading  06.03.10  of  the 
Common Customs Tariff and originating in Israel, subject to a limit of 19,500 tonnes. 

Israel undertakes to abide by the conditions  laid down below for imports into the  Community 
of roses and carnations which qualify for the elimination of this tariff  : 

- 

- 

- 

the  price  level  of  imports  into  the  Community  must  be  at  least  equal  to  85%  of  the 
Community  price level for the same products over the same periods, 

the  Israeli  price  level  shall  be  determined  by  recording  the  prices  of  the  imported 
products, on representative  Community  import markets, 

the  Community  price  level  shall  be  based  on  the  producer  prices  recorded  on 
representative  markets of the main producer  Member States, 

-  price  levels  will  be  recorded  on  a  fortnightly  basis  and  weighted  by  the  respective 

quantities.  This provision is valid for Community prices and for Israeli prices, 

- 

- 

for both Community producer prices and the import prices of Israeli products, a distinction 
shall  be  made  between  large-flowered  and  small-flowered  roses  and  between  unifloral 
and multifloral carnations, 

if the  Israeli price  level for  any one type  of product  is below 85% of  the Community  price 
level,  the  tariff  preference  shall  be  suspended.  The  Community  shall  reinstate  the  tariff 
preference when an Israeli price  level equal to 85% or more of the Community  price  level 
is recorded. 

Israel further  undertakes  to  maintain  the traditional  breakdown  of  trade  between  roses  and 
carnations. 

Should the Community  market  be disturbed by a change  in this  breakdown, the  Community 
reserves the right to determine the proportions  in line with traditional trade patterns.  In such 
cases, an appropriate  exchange of views could take place. 

I  should  be  obliged  if  you  would  confirm  that  your  Government  is  in  agreement  with  the 
contents of this  letter. 

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

Exchange of letters between the European Community  (The  Community') and  Israel 
regarding the implementation of the Uruguay Round  Agreements 

Sir, 

A. Letter from the Community 

The Agreement reached between the European Community and Israel does not contain any 
provisions regarding the new regime applied on the import of oranges into the Community. 
The  Parties  willcontinue  negotiations  on this  matter  in order  to find a  solution  before  the 
beginning of the marketing year 1995-96, i.e.  1st December.  In this context, the Community 
has agreed that Israel will not be treated less favourably than other Mediterranean partners. 

By  1st  December  1995,  if  an  accord  has  not  been  reached  regarding  the  entry  price for 
oranges,  the  Community  will  take  all  necessary  measures  to  guarantee  to  Israel  an 
adequate  and acceptable  entry  price  for  both  Parties, which will enable  the  importation  of 
200,000 tonnes of oranges from Israel, a figure which will imply a reduction of 30% from the 
actual tariff quota for oranges from Israel. 

In  addition,  the  EC  will  adopt  the  appropriate  measures  to  allow  the  import  into  the 
Community  of  traditional  Israeli  non-Annex  II  processed  agricultural  products  covered  by 
concessions in the new Agreement. 

Similarly,  if necessary,  Israel will take  parallel  measures  to ensure  the  import  of  traditional 
Community exports of agricultural products for the 1995-96 season. 

I  should  be  grateful  if  you would  kindly  inform  me  whether  the  Government  of  Israel  is in 
agreement with the contents of this letter. 

Accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
