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.

Notwithstanding paragraph 1, non-originating materials

Importation by instalments

1.
The customs authorities of the exporting country may
authorise any exporter (hereinafter referred to as (cid:145)approved
exporter(cid:146)) who makes frequent shipments of products under
this Agreement to make out invoice declarations irrespective
of the value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking
such authorisation must offer to the satisfaction of the customs
authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating
status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other
requirements of this Protocol.

2.
The customs authorities may grant the status of approved
exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appro-
priate.

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 Harmonised System falling within

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.

Note 2:

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 column 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 column 3
or 4 apply only to the part of that heading as described in column 2.

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 column 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.

2.3. 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.

2.4. 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:

3.1. The provisions of Article 6, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manu-
facture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where
these products are used or in another factory in Croatia or in the Community.

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 (cid:145)other alloy steel roughly shaped by
forging(cid:146) of heading No ex 7224.

If this forging has been forged in Croatia 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
Croatia. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the
non-originating materials used.

3.2. 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 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.

3.3. 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 and of a
different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.

3.4. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that

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

C 332 E/132

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

27.11.2001

Example:

The rule for fabrics of headings 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.

3.5. 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 manu-
facture.

Example:

In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 made from non-woven materials,
non-originating yarn is allowed for this class of article,
even if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn.

if the use of only

In such cases, the starting material would

3.6. 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 higher of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual
percentages must not be exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they apply.

Note 4:

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 which have
been carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun.

4.2. The term (cid:145)natural fibres(cid:146) includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of headings Nos 5002 and 5003, as well as
wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings Nos 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings Nos 5201 to
5203, and other vegetable fibres of headings Nos 5301 to 5305.

4.3. 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.

4.4. 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 headings Nos 5501 to 5507.

Note 5:

5.1. Where, for a given product in the list, 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 and which, taken together,
represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below.)

5.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 may be applied only 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) coarse animal hair,

(cid:151) paper-making materials and paper,

(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) current-conducting 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 which 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.

C 332 E/134

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

27.11.2001

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 which 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 % 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 a only mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric 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 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.

5.3. 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 % in respect of this yarn.

5.4. 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 % in respect of this strip

Note 6:

6.1. Where, in the list, reference is made 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 % of the ex-works price of the product.

6.2. 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.

6.3. 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.

Note 7:

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

are the following:

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

(c) cracking;

The Parties hereby agree to grant unrestricted access to

traffic through Croatia and to Croatian
transit traffic through the Community with effect from the
date of entry into force of this Agreement.

3.
By way of derogation from paragraph 2 the following
provisions will apply to Croatian transit traffic through Austria:

(a) until 31 December 2002 a regime for Croatian transit
identical
to that applied under the bilateral Agreement
between Austria and Croatia, signed on 6 June 1995, will
be maintained. No later than 30 June 2002 the Parties will
examine the functioning of the regime applied between
Austria and Croatia in the light of
the principle of
non-discrimination which must apply to heavy goods
vehicles from the European Community and such vehicles
through Austria. Appropriate
from Croatia in transit
measures will be taken in order to ensure,
if necessary,
effective non-discrimination;

(b) with effect from 1 January 2003 a system of ecopoints
similar to that laid down by Article 11 of Protocol No. 9
to the Act of Accession of Austria to the European Union
will apply until 31 December 2003. The method of calcu-
lation and the detailed rules and procedures
the
management and control of the ecopoints will be agreed
in good time by means of an exchange of letters between
the Contracting Parties and will be in line with the
provisions of Articles 11 and 14 of the above-mentioned
Protocol No 9.

If, as a result of the rights granted under paragraph 2,
transit traffic by Community hauliers increases to such a degree
as to cause or threaten to cause serious harm to road infra-
structure and/or traffic fluidity on the axes mentioned in
Article 5, and under the same circumstances problems arise
on Community territory close to the Croatian borders, the
matter shall be submitted to the Stabilisation and Association
Council in accordance with Article 113 of the Agreement. The
Parties may propose exceptional temporary, non-discriminatory
measures as are necessary to limit or mitigate such harm.

If the European Community establishes rules aiming to
5.
reduce pollution caused by heavy goods vehicles registered in
the European Union, equivalent rules shall apply to heavy
goods vehicles registered in Croatia that wish to circulate
through the Community territory. The Stabilisation and
Association Council shall decide on the necessary modalities.

Article 12

Access to the market

The Parties shall, as a matter of priority, undertake to work
together to seek, each of them subject to their internal rules,

(cid:151) courses of action likely to favour the development of a
transport system which meets the needs of the Contracting
Parties, and which is compatible, on the one hand, with the
the internal Community market and the
completion of
implementation of the common transport policy and, on
the other hand, with Croatia’s economic and transport
policy,

(cid:151) a definitive system for regulating future road transport
market access between Contracting Parties on the basis of
reciprocity.

Article 13

Taxation, tolls and other charges

1.
The Parties accept that the taxation of road vehicles, tolls
and other charges on either side must be non-discriminatory.

2.
The Parties shall enter into negotiations with a view to
reaching an agreement on road taxation, as soon as possible,
on the basis of the rules adopted by the Community on this
matter. The purpose of this Agreement shall be, in particular,
to ensure the free flow of trans-frontier traffic, to progressively
eliminate differences between the road taxation systems applied
by the Parties and to eliminate distortions of competition
arising from such differences.

3.
Pending the conclusion of the negotiations mentioned in
paragraph 2, the Parties will eliminate discrimination between
