Article 6

Sufficiently worked or processed products

1.
For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not
wholly obtained are considered to be sufficiently worked or
processed when the conditions set out in the list in Annex II
are fulfilled.

The conditions referred to above indicate,
for all products
covered by this Agreement, the working or processing which
must be carried out on non-originating materials used in
manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials.
Accordingly, it follows that if a product, which has acquired
originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in the list
is used in the manufacture of another product, the conditions
applicable to the product in which it is incorporated do not
apply to it, and no account shall be taken of the non-orig-
inating materials which may have been used in its manufacture.

2.
Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the products which are not
wholly obtained and listed in Annex II(a) are considered to be
sufficiently worked or processed when the conditions set out in
the list in Annex II(a) are fulfilled.

The provision of this paragraph shall apply for three years
following the entry into force of the Agreement.

3.
Notwithstanding paragraph 1 and 2, non-originating
materials which, according to the conditions set out in the
list, should not be used in the manufacture of a product may
nevertheless be used, provided that:

Article 26

Exemptions from 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 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 CN22/CN23 or on a sheet of paper
annexed to that document.

ANNEX I

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II

Note 1:

The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the
meaning of Article 6 of the Protocol.

Note 2:

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 Harmonised 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 (cid:145)ex(cid:146), this signifies that the rules in columns 3 or
4 apply only to the part of that heading as described in column 2.

2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description
of products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in columns 3 or 4 apply to all
products which, under the Harmonised System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings
grouped together in column 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 columns 3 or 4.

4. Where, for an 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 the 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 3:

1. The provisions of Article 6 of the Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in
the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where
these products are used or in another factory in the Community or in Egypt.

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 per cent of the ex-works price, is made from (cid:145)other alloy steel roughly shaped by
forging(cid:146) of heading No ex 7224.

If this forging has been forged in the Community from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating
status by virtue of the rule for heading No ex 7224 in the list. The forging can then count as originating in the value
calculation for the engine regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the
Community. 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. 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 originating status. Thus if a rule provides that non-originating material at a certain level of manu-
facture 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. Without prejudice to Note 3.2 where a rule states that (cid:145)materials of any heading(cid:146) 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 (cid:145)manufacture from materials of any heading,
including other materials of
heading No . . .(cid:146) 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.

30.10.2001

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 304 E/81

4. 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.

Example:

The rule for fabrics of heading Nos 5208 to 5212 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.

5. 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 6.2 below in relation to textiles.)

Example:

The rule for prepared foods of heading No 1904 which specifically excludes the use of cereals and their derivatives
does not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not products from cereals.

However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials
specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture.

Example:

In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 made from non-woven materials, if the use of only non-orig-
inating yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth (cid:151) 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 (cid:151) that is the fibre stage.

6. Where, in a rule in the list, two 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.

Note 4:

1. The term (cid:145)natural fibres(cid:146) is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to
the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres that have been
carded, combed or otherwise processed but not spun.

2. The term (cid:145)natural fibres(cid:146) 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. The terms (cid:145)textile pulp(cid:146), (cid:145)chemical materials(cid:146) and (cid:145)paper-making materials(cid:146) 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. The term (cid:145)man-made staple fibres(cid:146) is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or

waste, of heading Nos 5501 to 5507.

Note 5:

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
per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below).

2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 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:

(cid:151) silk,

(cid:151) wool,

(cid:151) flax,

(cid:151) true hemp,

(cid:151) jute and other textile bast fibres,

(cid:151) sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,

(cid:151) coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made filaments,

(cid:151) artificial man-made filaments,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide,

(cid:151) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride,

(cid:151) other synthetic man-made staple fibres,

(cid:151) artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,

(cid:151) other artificial man-made staple fibres,

(cid:151) yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped,

(cid:151) yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester whether or not gimped,

(cid:151) products of heading No 5605 (metallised yarn) 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 a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,

(cid:151) other products of heading No 5605.

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 10 per cent of the yarn.

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 provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the
fabric.

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.

30.10.2001

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 304 E/83

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.

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 does not exceed 10 per cent of the
weight of the textile materials of 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.

3. In the case of products incorporating (cid:145)yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether

whether or not gimped(cid:146) this tolerance is 20 per cent in respect of this yarn.

4. In the case of products incorporating (cid:145)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 layers of plastic film(cid:146), this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip.

Note 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 product 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 per cent of the ex-works price of the product.

2. Without prejudice to Note 6.3, materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely in the

manufacture of textile products, 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.

3. Where a percentage rules 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.

Note 7:

1. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the (cid:145)specific processes(cid:146) are

the following:

(a) vacuum distillation;

(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (1);

(c) cracking;

(d) reforming;

(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;

(f)

(g) polymerisation;

(h) alkylation;

(ij)

isomerisation;

(k)

in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen resulting in a
reduction of at least 85 per cent of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);

(l)

in respect of products falling within heading No 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;

(m) in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of more
than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 (cid:176)C with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desul-
phurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment with
hydrogen of

(n)

(o)

in respect of fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less
than 30 per cent of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 (cid:176)C by the ASTM D 86 method;

in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, treatment by
means of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge.

3. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple operations such as
cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, 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.

certificates EUR.1 and EUR.2 forms,

JOINT DECLARATION ON CUMULATION OF ORIGIN

The Community and Egypt recognise the important role of cumulation of origin in encouraging the smooth devel-
opment towards a free trade area between all Mediterranean partners participating in the Barcelona process.

The Community agrees to negotiate and conclude agreements with Mediterranean Partner states, especially Mashrek/
Maghreb States at the request of the latter, to apply the rule of cumulation of origin once the concerned partners agree
to apply identical rules of origin.

The Parties furthermore declare that differences in the types of cumulation already in force in the participating countries
should not constitute a barrier to achieving this goal. For that purpose they will immediately after the signature of the
agreement start to examine the possibilities of cumulation with the said countries during the transitional period,
especially in sectors where the concerned Mediterranean countries apply identical rules of origin.

The Community will provide assistance to the concerned partners in order to achieve cumulation of rules of origin.

JOINT DECLARATION ON PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN ANNEX II

Both parties agree with the processing requirement contained in Annex II and II(a) of the Protocol No 4.

Nevertheless the Community will examine a limited number of requests of derogation presented by Egypt, duly
motivated, provided these are not of a nature to compromise achievements on the introduction of cumulation
between the Euro-Mediterranean parties.

Exchange of letters between the European Community ((cid:145)the Community(cid:146)) and Egypt concerning
imports into the Community of fresh cut flowers and flowers and flower buds falling within
subheading 0603 10 of the Common Customs Tariff

A. Letter from the Community

Sir,

The following was agreed between the Community and Egypt:

Protocol 1 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement provides for the elimination of customs duties on
imports into the Community of cut flowers and flower buds, fresh, falling within subheading 0603 10
of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Egypt, subject to a limit of 3 000 tonnes.

Egypt 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:

(cid:151) 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,

(cid:151) The Egyptian price level shall be determined by recording the prices of the imported products, on

representative Community import markets,

(cid:151) The Community price level shall be based on the producer prices recorded on representative markets

of the main producer Member States,

(cid:151) Price levels will be recorded on a fortnightly basis and weighted by the respective quantities. This

provision is valid for Community prices and for Egyptian prices,

(cid:151) For both Community producer prices and the import prices of Egyptian products, a distinction shall be
made between large-flowered and small-flowered roses and between unifloral and multifloral
carnations,

(cid:151) If the Egyptian 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
Egyptian price level equal to 85 % or more of the Community price level is recorded.

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.

On behalf of the Council of the European Community
