(1999/C 216/05)

Article 72 et seq. of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No

Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN),
in the context of the Community’s rules of origin
applicable to the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).

In particular, Article 72(b) includes provision for the members of each of the regional groups mentioned to
transmit, through the Secretariat of the regional group concerned, an undertaking to comply with the GSP
rules of origin and to provide the necessary administrative cooperation with regard to certificates of origin
Form A.

Cambodia, whose membership of ASEAN became effective on 30 April 1999, has provided such an
undertaking, and the provisions for regional cumulation shall therefore apply to it from 1 September 1999.
