COMMISSION DECISION

of 11 September 2000

refusing to grant the Turks and Caicos Islands a derogation concerning the definition of the
concept of ‘originating products’ with regard to rice of CN code 1006 30

(notified under document number C(2000) 2652)

(2000/573/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July
1991 on the association of the overseas countries and terri-
tories with the European Economic Community (1), as amended
at mid-term by Decision 97/803/EC (2), and in particular
Article 30 of Annex II thereto,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Article 30 of Annex II to the said Decision concerning
the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’
and methods of administrative cooperation provides
that, under certain conditions, derogations from the
rules of origin may be granted whenever the develop-
ment of an existing industry or the establishment of a
new one in a country or territory warrants it.

The United Kingdom has requested for the Turks and
Caicos Islands a derogation from the rule of origin in
Annex II for non-ACP rice processed and exported from
the Turks and Caicos Islands for a period of five years,
for 8 950 tonnes per annum.

Article 6 of Annex II provides for ACP/OCT cumulation.
The Turks and Caicos Islands have the possibility to
purchase rice, originating in the ACP countries of the
region. Therefore the application of the existing rules of

origin does not affect the ability of their industry to
export rice to the Community. As a result, the requested
derogation is not duly justified within the meaning of
Article 30(1) of Annex II, and more in particular with
regard to Article 30(3) and the cumulation provisions
referred to in Article 30(4),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The request submitted on 21 June 2000 by the Government of
the United Kingdom on behalf of the Turks and Caicos Islands
for a derogation from the definition of the concept of ‘origin-
ating products’ with regard to its production of rice of CN code
1006 30,

is hereby rejected.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
