ANNEX 5

IMPLEMENTING RULES FOR ARTICLE 41

CHAPTER I

General provisions

1. Objectives

1.1. Cases relating to practices contrary to Article 41(1)(a) or (b) of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement shall be dealt
with by applying the appropriate legislation, in order to avoid adverse effects on trade and economic devel-
opment and the possible negative impact that such practices may have on the other Party's important interests.

1.2. The competence of the Parties' competition authorities to deal with these cases shall flow from the existing rules
of their respective competition laws, including where these rules are applied to undertakings located outside their
territory, but whose activities affect that territory.

1.3. The purpose of these rules is to promote cooperation and coordination between the Parties in the application of
their competition laws in order to ensure that restrictions on competition do not block or cancel out the benefits
which should be ensured following the progressive liberalisation of trade between the European Community and
Algeria.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these rules:

(a) ‘competition law’ shall mean:

(i) for the European Community (‘the Community’), Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty, Council Regulation

(EEC) No 4064/89 and related secondary legislation adopted by the Community;

(ii) For Algeria, Competition Decree No 95-06 of 23 Sha'ban 1415 corresponding to 25 January 1995, and its

implementing provisions;

(iii) and any amendments to or repeal of those laws;

(b) ‘competition authority’ shall mean:

(i) for the Community, the Commission of the European Community as to its responsibilities pursuant to the

competition law of the Community;

(ii) for Algeria, the Conseil de la Concurrence (Competition Board);

(c) ‘enforcement activity’ shall mean any application of competition law by way of investigation or proceeding

conducted by the competition authority of a Party, which may result in penalties or remedies;

(d) ‘anti-competitive activity’ and ‘conduct and practices which restrict competition’ shall mean any conduct or
transaction that is impermissible under the competition laws of a Party and may be subject to penalties or
remedies.

3.2. To the extent possible, and provided that this is not contrary to the Parties' competition laws and does not
adversely affect any investigation being carried out, notification shall take place during the initial phase of the
procedure, to enable the notified competition authority to express its opinion. The notified authority shall give
due consideration to the opinions received when taking decisions.

3.3. The notifications provided for in Article 3.1 of this Chapter shall be detailed enough to permit an evaluation in

the light of the interests of the other Party.

3.4. The Parties undertake to give the above notification wherever possible, depending on available administrative

resources.

4. Exchange of information and confidentiality

4.1. The Parties shall exchange information which will

facilitate the effective application of

their respective

competition laws and promote a better understanding of their respective legal frameworks.

4.2. The exchange of information shall be subject to the standards of confidentiality applicable under the law of each
Party. Confidential information whose dissemination is expressly prohibited or which, if disseminated, could
adversely affect the Parties, shall not be provided without the express consent of the source of the information.
Each competition authority shall maintain, to the fullest extent possible, the confidentiality of any information
provided to it in confidence by the other competition authority under the rules and shall oppose, to the fullest
extent possible, any application for disclosure of such information by a third party that is not authorised by the
competition authority that supplied the information.

5. Coordination of enforcement activities

5.1. Each competition authority may notify the other of its willingness to coordinate enforcement activities with
the competition authorities from taking

to a specific case. This coordination shall not prevent

respect
autonomous decisions.

5.2. In determining the extent of coordination, the competition authorities shall consider:

(a) the results which coordination could produce;

(b) the additional information to be obtained;

(c) the reduction in costs for the competition authorities and the economic agents involved; and

(d) the applicable deadlines under their respective legislations.

6. Consultation when important interests of one Party are adversely affected in the territory of the other Party

6.1. A competition authority which considers that one or more undertakings situated in one Party's territory are or
have been engaged in anti-competitive activities of whatever origin that are substantially and adversely affecting
the interests of the Party it represents may request consultations with the other competition authority, recog-
nising that entering into such consultations is without prejudice to any action under its competition laws and to
the full freedom of ultimate decision of the competition authority concerned. The requested competition
authority may take the appropriate remedial action, in the light of the legislation in force.

6.2. Each Party shall, wherever possible and in accordance with its own legislation, take into consideration the
important interests of the other Party in the course of its enforcement activities. A competition authority
which considers that an enforcement activity being conducted by the competition authority of the other
Party under its competition law may affect the important interests of the Party it represents should transmit
its views on the matter to or request consultations with the other competition authority. Without prejudice to
the continuation of its action under its competition laws or to its full freedom of ultimate decision, the
competition authority so addressed should give full and sympathetic consideration to the views expressed by
the requesting competition authority, and in particular to any suggestions as to alternative means of fulfilling the
needs and objectives of the enforcement activity.

7. Technical cooperation

7.1. The Parties shall be open to technical cooperation in order to enable them to take advantage of their respective

experience and to strengthen the implementation of their competition law and policies.

(1) Irrespective of the rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, the wording of the product description must be considered to have merely indicative
value, since the applicability of the preferential arrangements is determined in the context of this Annex by the scope of the CN code. Where ex CN codes are referred
to, the applicability of the preferential arrangements is determined on the basis of the CN code and the corresponding description taken jointly.

(2) The Common Customs Tariff duties applied to quantities imported in excess of the tariff quotas are MFN duties.
(3) Decision 278/94/EC.
(4) Once the application of Community rules for the potato sector has commenced, this period will be extended up to 15 April, and the customs duty applicable to

quantities in excess of the tariff quota will be raised to 50 %.
(5) The reduction applies only to the ad valorem part of the duty.
(6) Entry under this subheading is subject to conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions (see Articles 291 to 300 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No

2454 (OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 71) and subsequent amendments).

(7) This concession applies only to those seeds covered by the provisions of the directives on the marketing of seeds and plants.
(8) The reduction applies to both the ad valorem and the specific parts of the duty.

Approved exporter

1.
The customs authorities of the exporting country may
authorise any exporter, hereinafter referred to as ‘approved
exporter’ who makes frequent shipments of products under
the 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

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 exceptional circumstances.

3.
In other cases of belated presentation, the customs auth-
orities of the importing country may accept the proofs of
origin where the products have been submitted before the
said final date.

Article 25

Submission of proof of origin

Proofs of origin 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 proof of origin. They may also require the
import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from
the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions
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 Harmonised System falling within
Sections XVI and XVII or headings 7308 and 9406 of the
Harmonised 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 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.

Imports which are occasional and consist

2.
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 shall not
exceed EUR 500 in the case of small packages or EUR 1 200

in the case of products forming part of travellers' personal
luggage.

Article 28

Declaration by the supplier and information certificate

1. When a movement certificate EUR.1 is issued or an
invoice declaration is made out for originating products manu-
factured using goods
that have undergone working or
processing in one or more of the countries referred to in
Article 5 without obtaining originating status, account shall
be taken of the supplier's declaration(s) regarding those goods
in accordance with the provisions of this Article. The supplier's
declaration, of which a specimen is given in Annex V, shall be
supplied by the exporter in the State of export either on the
commercial invoice for the products or annexed thereto.

2.
The customs office concerned may ask the exporter to
produce the information certificate issued as provided for in
paragraph 3, of which a specimen is given in Annex VII, either
in order to check the authenticity and accuracy of information
given on the declaration provided for in paragraph 1, or in
order to obtain additional information.

The information certificate concerning the products used
3.
shall be issued at the request of the exporter of these products,
either in the circumstances set out in paragraph 2 or at the
exporter's initiative, by the competent customs office in the
State from which the goods were exported. It shall be made
out in duplicate. One copy shall be given to the exporter who
has requested it, who shall send it either to the exporter of the
final products or to the customs office where the issue of the
EUR.1 movement certificate for
these products has been
requested. The second copy shall be preserved for at least
three years by the customs office which has issued it.

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 7 of the Protocol.

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 ‘ex’, 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 is to be applied.

Note 3

3.1. The provisions of Article 7 of the Protocol, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used
in the manufacture 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 the Community or in Algeria.

Example:

An engine of heading 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 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 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.

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 ‘materials of any heading’ 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 ‘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.

29.10.2002

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 262 E/145

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.

Example:

The rule for fabrics of HS headings 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 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.

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 ‘natural fibres’ 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 ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 0503, silk of headings 5002 and 5003, as well as wool-
fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203, and other
vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305.

4.3. 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 yarns.

4.4. 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 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:

— silk,

— wool,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride,

— other synthetic man-made staple fibres,

— artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,

— other artificial man-made staple fibres,

— yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped,

— yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped,

— products of heading 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, sand-
wiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,

— other products of heading 5605.

Example:

A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 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, provided that their total weight does not exceed
10 % of the weight of the yarn.

Example:

A woollen fabric, of heading 5112, made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of
heading 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 that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the
fabric.

Example:

Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802, made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210,
is only a 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.

29.10.2002

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 262 E/147

Example:

If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of
heading 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 % 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.

5.3. In the case of products incorporating ‘yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether,

whether or not gimped’, this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.

5.4. In the case of products 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’, 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 ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the ‘specific processes’ are

the following:

(a) vacuum-distillation;

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

(c) cracking;

(d) reforming;

(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;

(f)

the process comprising all of the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or
sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally-active
earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g) polymerisation;

(k)

in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen, resulting in a reduction of at
least 85 % of the sulphur-content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);

(l)

in respect of products of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;

(m) in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen, at a pressure of more than 20 bar
and a temperature of more than 250 °C, with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation, when
the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment, with hydrogen, of
lubricating oils of heading ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolourisation),
in order, more especially, to
improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

(p)

in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 % of
these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;

in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a
high-frequency electrical brush-discharge;

in respect of crude products (other than petroleum jelly, ozokerite, lignite wax or peat wax, paraffin wax
containing by weight less than 0,75 % of oil) of heading ex 2712 only, de-oiling by fractional crystallisation.

7.3. For the purposes of headings 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
these operations or like
result of mixing products with different sulphur-contents, or any combination of
operations, do not confer origin.
