Committee with a schedule for the abolition of the customs duties
introduced pursuant to this Article. Such schedule shall provide

The provisions of this Agreement shall apply without prejudice to
the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of

of the amount of indirect taxation imposed on them directly
or indirectly.

Article 21

1.
This Agreement shall not preclude the maintenance or
establishment of customs unions, free trade areas or arrangements

the trade arrangements provided for in this Agreement.

Article 22

If one of the Parties finds that dumping is taking place in trade
with the other Party within the meaning of Article VI of GATT

accordance with the WTO Agreement on the Implementation of
Article VI of GATT 1994, related internal legislation and the pro-
cedures laid down in Article 26.

Article 23

The WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
shall be applicable between the Parties.

tice in accordance with the WTO Agreement on Subsidies
and Countervailing Measures and its own legislation on the
matter.

Article 24

1.
Except where otherwise stated in this Article, the provisions
of Article XIX of GATT 1994 and of the WTO Agreement on
Safeguards are applicable between the Parties.

2.
Each Party shall inform the Association Committee forth-
with of any step that it takes or intends to take with regard to the
application of safeguard measures. Each Party shall send the Asso-
ciation Committee, immediately or at least one week in advance,
a communication in writing containing all information pertinent
to:

— the opening of a safeguard investigation,

— the outcome of the investigation.

The information provided shall include an explanation of the pro-
cedure on which the investigation is based and details of the
schedule of hearings and other suitable occasions for the parties
concerned to submit their opinions.

Each Party shall also give the Association Committee an advance
written notification containing all relevant information about the
decision to apply provisional safeguard measures; this notification
must be received at least one week before the measures are
applied.

2.
Consultation between the Parties shall take place within the
Association Committee concerning agreements establishing cus-
toms unions or free trade areas and, where requested, on other
major issues related to their respective trade policies with third
countries. In particular in the event of a third country acceding to
the Community, such consultations shall take place so as to
ensure that account is taken of the mutual interests of the Com-
munity and Algeria stated in this Agreement.

On being notified of the final results of the investigation and
3.
before applying safeguard measures
in accordance with
Article XIX of GATT 1994 and the WTO Agreement on Safe-
guards, the Party intending to apply such measures shall refer the
matter to the Association Committee for a thorough examination
of the situation with a view to finding a mutually acceptable
solution.

L 265/8

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

10.10.2005

In order to find such a solution, the Parties shall immedi-
4.
ately hold consultations within the Association Committee. If the
Parties fail to reach an agreement within 30 days of the initiation
of such consultations on a solution to avoid the application of the
safeguard measures, the Party intending to apply safeguard mea-
sures may apply the provisions of Article XIX of GATT 1994 and
of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards.

Article 26

1.
In the event of the Community or Algeria subjecting imports
of products liable to give rise to the difficulties referred to in
Article 24 to an administrative procedure having as its purpose
the rapid supply of information on trade flow trends, it shall
inform the other Party.

In the selection of safeguard measures pursuant to this
5.
Article, the Parties shall give priority to those which cause least
disturbance to the achievement of the objectives of this Agree-
ment. Such measures shall not go beyond what is necessary to
remedy the difficulties arising and shall maintain the level or mar-
gin of preference granted pursuant to this Agreement.

In the cases specified in Articles 22 and 25, before taking the mea-
sures provided for therein or, in cases to which paragraph 2(c) of
this Article applies, as soon as possible, the Community or Alge-
ria, as the case may be, shall supply the Association Committee
with all relevant information with a view to seeking a solution
acceptable to the two Parties.

6.
The Party intending to apply safeguard measures pursuant
to this Article shall offer the other Party compensation in the form
of liberalisation of trade vis-à-vis imports from the latter; that
compensation will be essentially equivalent to the adverse trade
effects of the measures on the other Party with effect from the
date of their implementation. The offer shall be made before the
safeguard measure is adopted and concurrently with the notifica-
tion of and referral to the Association Committee, in accordance
with paragraph 3. If the Party whose product is the intended sub-
ject of the safeguard measure considers the offer of compensation
unsatisfactory, the two Parties may agree to other forms of trade
compensation in the framework of the consultations referred to in
paragraph 3.

If the Parties fail to agree on the matter of compensation
7.
within 30 days of the initiation of the above consultations, the
Party whose product is the subject of safeguard measures may
adopt compensatory tariff measures having trade effects essen-
tially equivalent to the safeguard measure adopted pursuant to
this Article.

Article 25

Where compliance with the provisions of Article 17(3) leads to:

(i)

re-export towards a third country against which the export-
ing party maintains, for the product concerned, quantitative
export restrictions, export duties, or measures having equiva-
lent effect,

In the selection of measures, priority shall be given to those which
least disturb the functioning of this Agreement.

For the implementation of the second subparagraph of

2.
paragraph 1, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) as regards Article 22, the exporting Party shall be informed
of the dumping case as soon as the authorities of the import-
ing Party have initiated an investigation. When no end has
been put to the dumping within the meaning of Article VI of
GATT 1994 or no other satisfactory solution has been
reached within 30 days of the matter being referred, the
importing Party may adopt the appropriate measures;

(b) as regards Article 25, the difficulties arising from the situa-
tions referred to in that Article shall be referred for examina-
tion to the Association Committee.

The Association Committee may take any decision needed to
put an end to the difficulties. If it has not taken such a deci-
sion within 30 days of the matter being referred to it, the
exporting party may apply appropriate measures on the
exportation of the product concerned;

(c) where exceptional circumstances requiring immediate action
make prior information or examination, as the case may be,
impossible, the Community or Algeria, whichever is con-
cerned, may, in the situations specified in Articles 22 and 25,
apply forthwith the precautionary measures strictly necessary
to deal with the situation and shall inform the other Party
immediately thereof.

or

Article 27

(ii) a serious shortage, or threat thereof, of a product essential to

the exporting party;

and where the situations referred to above give rise, or are likely
to give rise, to major difficulties for the exporting Party, that Party
may take appropriate measures under the conditions and in accor-
dance with the procedures laid down in Article 26. The measures
shall be non-discriminatory and shall be abolished when condi-
tions no longer justify their maintenance.

Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude prohibitions or restric-
tions on imports, exports or goods in transit justified on grounds
of public morality, public policy or public security, of the protec-
tion of health and life of humans, animals or plants, of the pro-
treasures possessing artistic, historic or
tection of national
archaeological value, of the protection of intellectual, industrial
and commercial property or of regulations concerning gold and
silver. Such prohibitions or restrictions shall not, however, con-
stitute a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restric-
tion on trade between the Parties.

Agreements with third countries concerning dry and liquid
bulk and liner trade. However, this does not exclude the pos-

maritime services of
those ports, as well as related fees

not apply them in a manner as to nullify or impair the benefits
accruing to any Party under the terms of a specific provision of
the Agreement. The above provision does not prejudice the appli-
cation of paragraph 2.

financial service supplier, or to ensure the integrity and stability
of the financial system. Where such measures do not conform
with the provisions of the Agreement, they shall not be used as a
means of avoiding the obligations of a Party under the Agreement.

(d)

‘branch’ of a company shall mean a place of business not hav-
ing legal personality which has the appearance of perma-
nency, such as the extension of a parent body, has a
management and is materially equipped to negotiate business
with third parties so that the latter, although knowing that

the head office of which is abroad, do not have to deal directly

ANNEX 5

IMPLEMENTING RULES FOR ARTICLE 41

CHAPTER I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Objectives

Cases relating to practices contrary to Article 41(1)(a) or (b) of this Agreement shall be dealt with by applying the appro-
priate legislation, in order to avoid adverse effects on trade and economic development and the possible negative impact
that such practices may have on the other Party’s important interests.

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.

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 con-
ducted 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 trans-
action that is impermissible under the competition laws of a Party and may be subject to penalties or remedies.

CHAPTER II

COOPERATION AND COORDINATION

3.

Notification

3.1. Each Party’s competition authority shall notify the other of its enforcement activities where:

(a)

the notifying Party considers them relevant to enforcement activities of the other Party;

10.10.2005

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 265/51

(b)

they may significantly affect important interests of the other Party;

(c)

they relate to restrictions on competition which may directly and substantially affect the territory of the other
Party;

(d)

they involve anti-competitive activities carried out mainly in the territory of the other Party;

and

(e)

they condition or prohibit action in the territory of the other Party.

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 confi-
dence by the other competition authority under the rules and shall oppose, to the fullest extent possible, any appli-
cation 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 respect to

a specific case. This coordination shall not prevent the competition authorities from taking 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 inter-
ests of the Party it represents may request consultations with the other competition authority, recognising that enter-
ing 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 appro-
priate remedial action, in the light of the legislation in force.

L 265/52

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

10.10.2005

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 consul-
tations with the other competition authority. Without prejudice to the continuation of its action under its competi-
tion 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 expe-

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

7.2. Cooperation shall include the following activities:

(a)

training for officials, to enable them to gain practical experience;

(b)

seminars, in particular for civil servants;

and

(c)

studies of competition law and policies, with a view to supporting their development.

8. Modification and update of the rules

The Association Committee may amend these rules.

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 appli-
cability 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) Commission Decision 94/278/EC (OJ L 120, 11.5.1994, p. 44).
(4) Once the application of Community rules for the potato sector has commenced, this period will be extended up to 15 April, and the reduction of 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 Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (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.

lowing products shall be considered as originating in the
Community:

(a) products wholly obtained in the Community within the

meaning of Article 6;

(b) products obtained in the Community incorporating materi-
als which have not been wholly obtained there, provided that
such materials have undergone sufficient working or process-

For the purpose of implementing this Agreement, the fol-

2.
lowing products shall be considered as originating in Algeria:

(a) products wholly obtained in Algeria within the meaning of

Article 6;

(b) products obtained in Algeria incorporating materials which
have not been wholly obtained there, provided that such
materials have undergone sufficient working or processing in
Algeria within the meaning of Article 7.

Article 3

Bilateral cumulation of origin

The provisions set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 concerning
4.
materials originating in Morocco are only applicable to the extent
that trade between the Community and Morocco and between
Algeria and Morocco, is governed by identical rules of origin.

Article 5

Cumulation of working or processing

1.
For the purpose of implementing Article 2(1)(b), working or
processing carried out in Algeria, or, when the conditions required
by Article 4(3) and (4) are fulfilled, in Morocco or in Tunisia shall
be considered as having been carried out in the Community when
the products obtained undergo subsequent working or process-
ing in the Community.

1. Materials originating in the Community shall be considered
as materials originating in Algeria when incorporated into a prod-
uct obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such materials
have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided they
have undergone working or processing going beyond that referred
to in Article 8(1).

2.
For the purpose, of implementing Article 2(2)(b), working
or processing carried out in the Community or, when the condi-
tions required by Article 4(3) and (4) are fulfilled, in Morocco
or in Tunisia shall be considered as having been carried out in
Algeria when the products obtained undergo subsequent work-
ing or processing in Algeria.

2. Materials originating in Algeria shall be considered as mate-
rials originating in the Community when incorporated into a
product obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such mate-
rials have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided
they have undergone working or processing going beyond that
referred to in Article 8(1).

3. Where pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 or 2 the
originating products are obtained in two or more of the States
referred to in those provisions or in the Community, they shall be
considered as originating products of the State or the Commu-
nity according to where the last working or processing took place,
provided that that working or processing went beyond that
referred to in Article 8.

Article 4

Cumulation with materials originating in Morocco or
Tunisia

1.
Notwithstanding Article 2(1)(b) and subject to the provi-
sions of paragraphs 3 and 4, materials originating in Morocco or
Tunisia within the meaning of Protocol No 4 annexed to the
Agreements between the Community and these countries shall be
considered as originating in the Community and it shall not be
necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working
or processing, on condition however that they have undergone
working or processing beyond that referred to in Article 8(1).

2.
Notwithstanding Article 2(2)(b) and subject to the provi-
sions of paragraphs 3 and 4, materials originating in Morocco or
Tunisia within the meaning of Protocol No 4 annexed to the
Agreements between the Community and these countries shall be
considered as originating in Algeria and it shall not be necessary
that such materials have undergone sufficient working or process-
ing, on condition however that they have undergone working or
processing beyond that referred to in Article 8(1).

Article 6

seabed;

(b) vegetable products harvested there;

(c)

live animals born and raised there;

(d) products from live animals raised there;

Algeria and Tunisia, is governed by identical rules of origin.

(f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea
outside the territorial waters of the Community or Algeria by
their vessels;

(e) products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there;

L 265/114

(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from

products referred to in subparagraph (f);

(h) used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw
materials, including used tyres fit only for retreading or use
as waste;

(i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations

conducted there;

(j) products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their
territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work
that soil or subsoil;

(k) goods produced exclusively from products specified in sub-

paragraphs (a) to (j).

The terms ‘their vessels’ and ‘their factory ships’ in para-

2.
graph 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships:

(a) which are registered or recorded in a Community Member

State or in Algeria;

(b) which sail under the flag of a Community Member State or

of Algeria;

(c) which are owned to an extent of at least 50 % by nationals of
a Community Member State or of Algeria, or by a company
with its head office in one of these States, of which the man-
ager or managers, Chairman of the Board of Directors or the
Supervisory Board, and the majority of the members of such
boards are nationals of a Community Member State or of
Algeria and of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships
or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to those
States or to public bodies or nationals of the said States;

(d) of which the master and officers are nationals of Community

Member States or of Algeria;

and

Article 7

Sufficiently worked or processed products

The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products cov-
ered by the 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. 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-originating materials which may have been used in its
manufacture.

2.
Notwithstanding paragraph 1, 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:

(a)

their total value does not exceed 10 % of the ex-works price
of the product;

(b) any of the percentages given in the list for the maximum
value of non-originating materials are not exceeded through
the application of this paragraph.

This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chap-
ters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply except as provided in

3.
Article 8.

Article 8

Insufficient working or processing operations

1. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the following operations
shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to con-
fer the status of originating products, whether or not the require-
ments of Article 7 are satisfied:

(a) operations to ensure the preservation of products in good
condition during transport and storage (ventilation, spread-
ing out, drying, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur dioxide or
other aqueous solutions, removal of damaged parts, and like
operations);

(b)

simple operations consisting of removal of dust, sifting or
screening, sorting, classifying, matching (including the
making-up of sets of articles), washing, painting, cutting up;

(c)

(i)

changes of packaging and division and assembly of
packages;

(ii)

simple placing in bottles, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fix-
ing on cards or boards, etc., and all other simple pack-
aging operations;

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.

(d) affixing marks, labels and other like distinguishing signs on

products or their packaging;

10.10.2005

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 265/115

(e)

simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds,
where one or more components of the mixtures do not meet
the conditions laid down in this Protocol to enable them to
be considered as originating in the Community or Algeria;

(f)

simple assembly of parts to constitute a complete product;

(g) a combination of two or more operations specified in sub-

paragraphs (a) to (f);

(h)

slaughter of animals.

2.
All the operations carried out in either the Community or
Algeria on a given product shall be considered together when
determining whether the working or processing undergone by
that product is to be regarded as insufficient within the meaning
of paragraph 1.

Article 11

Sets

Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonised System, shall
be regarded as originating when all component products are
originating. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating
and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall be regarded
as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating
products does not exceed 15 % of the ex-works price of the set.

Article 12

Neutral elements

In order to determine whether a product originates, it shall not be
necessary to determine the origin of the following which might be
used in its manufacture:

Article 9

Unit of qualification

(a)

energy and fuel;

(b) plant and equipment;

(c) machines and tools;

1.
The unit of qualification for the application of the provi-
sions of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is con-
sidered as the basic unit when determining classification using the
nomenclature of the Harmonised System.

(d) goods which do not enter and which are not intended to

enter into the final composition of the product.

It follows that:

(a) when a product composed of a group or assembly of
articles is classified under the terms of the Harmonised Sys-
tem in a single heading, the whole constitutes the unit of
qualification;

(b) when a consignment consists of a number of identical prod-
ucts classified under the same heading of the Harmonised
System, each product must be taken individually when apply-
ing the provisions of this Protocol.

2. Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonised System,
packaging is included with the product for classification purposes,
it shall be included for the purposes of determining origin.

Article 10

Accessories, spare parts and tools

TITLE III

TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS

Article 13

Principle of territoriality

The conditions set out in Title II relative to the acquisition
1.
of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the
Community or in Algeria without prejudice to the provisions of
Articles 4 and 5.

2.
Except as provided for in Articles 4 and 5, where originat-
ing goods exported from the Community or from Algeria to
another country return,
they must be considered as non-
originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the customs authorities that:

(a)

the returning goods are the same as those exported;

Accessories, spare parts and tools dispatched with a piece of
equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle, which are part of the
normal equipment and included in the price thereof or which are
not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of
equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.

and

(b)

they have not undergone any operation beyond that neces-
sary to preserve them in good condition while in that coun-
try or while being exported.

Article 14

Direct transport

(c)

the products have been consigned during the exhibition
or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent
for exhibition;

1.
The preferential treatment provided for under the Agree-
ment applies only to products, satisfying the requirements of this
Protocol, which are transported directly between the Community
and Algeria or through the territories of the other countries
referred to in Articles 4 and 5. However, products constituting
one single consignment may be transported through other terri-
tories with, should the occasion arise, transhipment or temporary
warehousing in such territories, provided that they remain under
the surveillance of the customs authorities in the country of tran-
sit or warehousing and do not undergo operations other than
unloading, reloading or any operation designed to preserve them
in good condition.

Originating products may be transported by pipeline across ter-
ritory other than that of the Community or Algeria.

2.
Evidence that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have
been fulfilled shall be supplied to the customs authorities of the
importing country by the production of:

(a) a single transport document covering the passage from the

exporting country through the country of transit; or

(b) a certificate issued by the customs authorities of the country

of transit:

(i)

giving an exact description of the products;

(ii)

stating the dates of unloading and reloading of the prod-
ucts and, where applicable, the names of the ships, or the
other means of transport used;

and

(iii) certifying the conditions under which the products

remained in the transit country; or

(c)

failing these, any substantiating documents.

Article 15

Exhibitions

1.
Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other
than those referred to in Articles 5 and 4 and sold after the exhi-
bition for importation in the Community or in Algeria, shall ben-
efit on importation from the provisions of the Agreement
provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities
that:

(a) an exporter has consigned these products from the Commu-
nity or from Algeria to the country in which the exhibition is
held and has exhibited them there;

(b)

the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that
exporter to a person in the Community or in Algeria;

and

(d)

the products have not, since they were consigned for exhibi-
tion, been used for any purpose other than demonstration at
the exhibition.

2.
A proof of origin must be issued or made out in accordance
with the provisions of Title V and submitted to the customs
authorities of the importing country in the normal manner. The
name and address of the exhibition must be indicated thereon.
Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the condi-
tions under which they have been exhibited may be required.

3.
Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural
or crafts exhibition, fair or similar public show or display which
is not organised for private purposes in shops or business pre-
mises with a view to the sale of foreign products, and during
which the products remain under customs control.

TITLE IV

DRAWBACK OR EXEMPTION

Article 16

Prohibition of drawback of or exemption from customs
duties

1.
Non-originating materials used in the manufacture of prod-
ucts originating in the Community, in Algeria or in one of the
other countries referred to in Articles 4 and 5 for which a proof
of origin is issued or made out in accordance with the provisions
of Title V shall not be subject in the Community or in Algeria to
drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties of whatever
kind.

2.
The prohibition in paragraph 1 shall apply to any arrange-
ment for refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete,
of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, appli-
cable in the Community or in Algeria to materials used in the
manufacture, where such refund, remission or non-payment
applies, expressly or in effect, when products obtained from the
said materials are exported and not when they are retained for
home use there.

The exporter of products covered by a proof of origin shall
3.
be prepared to submit at any time, upon request from the cus-
toms authorities, all appropriate documents proving that no
drawback has been obtained in respect of the non-originating
materials used in the manufacture of the products concerned and
that all customs duties or charges having equivalent effect appli-
cable to such materials have actually been paid.

10.10.2005

Official Journal of the European Union

L 265/117

4.
respect of packaging within the meaning of Article 9(2), accesso-
ries, spare parts and tools within the meaning of Article 10 and
products in a set within the meaning of Article 11 when such
items are non-originating.

Notwithstanding paragraph 1, originating products within
2.
the meaning of this Protocol shall,
in the cases specified in
Article 27, benefit from the Agreement without it being neces-
sary to submit any of the documents referred to above.

5.
The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 4 shall apply only in
respect of materials which are of the kind to which the Agreement
applies. Furthermore, they shall not preclude the application of an
export refund system for agricultural products, applicable upon
export in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.

The provisions of this Article shall not apply for six years

6.
following the entry into force of the Agreement.

7.
After the entry into force of the provisions of this Article
and notwithstanding paragraph 1, Algeria may apply arrange-
ments for drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties
or charges having an equivalent effect, applicable to materials
used in the manufacture of originating products, subject to the
following provisions:

(a) a 5 % rate of customs charge shall be retained in respect of
products falling within Chapters 25 to 49 and 64 to 97 of
the Harmonised System, or such lower rate as is in force in
Algeria;

(b) a 10 % rate of customs charge shall be retained in respect of
products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised
System, or such lower rate as is in force in Algeria.

The provisions of this paragraph shall be reviewed before the end
of the transitional period referred to in Article 6 of the Agreement.

TITLE V

Article 17

General provisions

Products originating in the Community shall, on importa-
1.

in Annex III; or

(b)

in the cases specified in Article 22(1), a declaration, subse-
quently referred to as the ‘invoice declaration’, given by the

responsibility, by his authorised representative.

2.
For this purpose, the exporter or his authorised representa-
tive shall fill out both the movement certificate EUR.1 and the
application form, specimens of which appear in Annex III. These
forms shall be completed in one of the languages in which this

cate EUR.1 shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request
of the customs authorities of the exporting country where the
movement certificate EUR.1 is issued, all appropriate documents
proving the originating status of the products concerned as well
as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.

4.
A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the cus-
toms authorities of an EC Member State or Algeria if the products
concerned can be considered as products originating in the Com-
munity, Algeria or in one of the other countries referred to in
Articles 4 and 5 and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol.

The customs authorities issuing movement certificates
5.
EUR.1 shall take any steps necessary to verify the originating sta-
tus of the products and the fulfilment of the other requirements
of this Protocol. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call
for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter’s
accounts or any other check considered appropriate. They shall
also ensure that the forms referred to in paragraph 2 are duly
completed. In particular, they shall check whether the space
reserved for the description of the products has been completed
in such a manner as to exclude all possibility of fraudulent
additions.

The date of issue of the movement certificate EUR.1 shall be

6.
indicated in Box 11 of the certificate.

An invoice declaration shall be made out by the exporter by
typing, stamping or printing on the invoice, the delivery note or
another commercial document, the declaration, the text of which
appears in Annex IV, using one of the linguistic versions set out
in that Annex and in accordance with the provisions of the
domestic law of the exporting country. If the declaration is hand-
written, it shall be written in ink in printed characters.

Invoice declarations shall bear the original signature of the
5.
exporter in manuscript. However, an approved exporter within
the meaning of Article 23 shall not be required to sign such dec-
larations provided that he gives the customs authorities of the
exporting country a written undertaking that he accepts full
responsibility for any invoice declaration which identifies him as
if it had been signed in manuscript by him.

6.
An invoice declaration may be made out by the exporter
when the products to which it relates are exported, or after expor-
tation on condition that it is presented in the importing country
no longer than two years after the importation of the products to
which it relates.

Article 24

Validity of proof of origin

1.
A proof of origin shall be valid for four months from the
date of issue in the exporting country, and must be submitted
within the said period to the customs authorities of the import-
ing country.

2.
Proofs of origin which are submitted to the customs authori-
ties 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
is due to exceptional
documents by the final date set
circumstances.

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

Article 23

Approved exporter

Article 25

Submission of proof of origin

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 autho-
risation 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.

Proofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of
the importing country in accordance with the procedures appli-
cable in that country. The said authorities may require a transla-
tion 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, dis-
mantled or non-assembled products within the meaning of Gen-
eral Rule 2(a) of
the Harmonised System falling within
Sections XVI and XVII or headings 7308 and 9406 of the Har-
monised 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 pri-
vate persons or forming part of travellers’ personal luggage shall
be admitted as originating products without requiring the submis-
sion 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.

2.
Imports which are occasional and consist 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 manufactured
using goods that have undergone working or processing in one
or more of the countries referred to in Article 5 without obtain-
ing originating status, account shall be taken of the supplier’s dec-
laration(s)
regarding those goods in accordance with the
provisions of this Article. The supplier’s declaration, of a 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.

The customs office concerned may ask the exporter to pro-
2.
duce the information certificate issued as provided for in para-
graph 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 cus-
toms office which has issued it.

Article 29

Supporting documents

The documents referred to in Articles 18(3) and 22(3) used for the
purpose of proving that products covered by a movement certifi-
cate EUR.1 or an invoice declaration can be considered as prod-
ucts originating in the Community, in Algeria or in one of the
other countries referred to in Articles 4 and 5 and fulfil the other
requirements of this Protocol may consist inter alia of the
following:

(a) direct evidence of the processes carried out by the exporter

Discrepancies and formal errors

1.
The discovery of slight discrepancies between the state-
ments made in the proof of origin and those made in the docu-
ments submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying
out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto
render the proof of origin null and void if it is duly established
that this document does correspond to the products submitted.

2.
Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of
origin should not cause this document to be rejected if these errors
are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the
statements made in this document.

Article 32

Amounts expressed in euros

3.
The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall
be the equivalent in that currency of the amounts expressed in
euros as at the first working day of October. The amounts shall
be communicated to the Commission of the European Commu-
nities by 15 October and shall apply from 1 January the follow-
ing year. The Commission of the European Communities shall
notify all countries concerned of the relevant amounts.

4.
A country may round up or down the amount resulting
from the conversion into its national currency of an amount
expressed in euros. The rounded-off amount may not differ from
the amount resulting from the conversion by more than 5 %. A
country may retain unchanged its national currency equivalent of
an amount expressed in euros if, at the time of the annual adjust-
ment provided for in paragraph 3, the conversion of that amount,
prior to any rounding-off, results in an increase of less than 15 %
in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equiva-
lent may be retained unchanged if the conversion would result in
a decrease in that equivalent value.

5.
The amounts expressed in euros shall be reviewed by the
Association Committee at the request of the Community or of
Algeria. When carrying out this review, the Association Commit-
tee shall consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the
limits concerned in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to
modify the amounts expressed in euros.

Verification of proof of origin

Article 35

Dispute settlement

1.
Subsequent verifications of proofs of origin shall be carried
out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the import-
ing country have reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of such
documents, the originating status of the products concerned or
the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.

For the purposes of implementing the provisions of para-
2.
graph 1, the customs authorities of the importing country shall
return the movement certificate EUR.1 and the invoice, if it has
been submitted, the invoice declaration, or a copy of these docu-
ments, to the customs authorities of the exporting country giv-
ing, where appropriate,
the reasons for the enquiry. Any
documents and information obtained suggesting that the infor-
mation given on the proof of origin is incorrect shall be for-
warded in support of the request for verification.

3.
The verification shall be carried out by the customs authori-
ties of the exporting country. For this purpose, they shall have the
right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of
the
check considered
appropriate.

exporter’s accounts or any other

4.
If the customs authorities of the importing country decide
to suspend the granting of preferential treatment to the products
concerned while awaiting the results of the verification, release of
the products shall be offered to the importer subject to any pre-
cautionary measures judged necessary.

5.
The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be
informed of the results of this verification as soon as possible.
These results must indicate clearly whether the documents are
authentic and whether the products concerned can be considered
as products originating in the Community, in Algeria or in one of
the other countries referred to in Article 4 and fulfil the other
requirements of this Protocol.

6.
If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten
months of the date of the verification request or if the reply does
not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity
of the document in question or the real origin of the products, the
requesting customs authorities shall, except in exceptional cir-
cumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferences.

Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of
Article 34 which cannot be settled between the customs authori-
ties requesting a verification and the customs authorities respon-
sible for carrying out this verification or where they raise a
question as to the interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be
submitted to the Customs Cooperation Committee.

In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and
the customs authorities of the importing country shall be under
the legislation of the said country.

Article 36

Penalties

Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes
to be drawn up, a document which contains incorrect informa-
tion for the purpose of obtaining a preferential treatment for
products.

Article 37

Free zones

1.
The Community and Algeria shall take all necessary steps to
ensure that products traded under cover of a proof of origin which
in the course of transport use a free zone situated in their terri-
tory, are not substituted by other goods and do not undergo han-
dling other than normal operations designed to prevent their
deterioration.

2.
By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in
paragraph 1, when products originating in the Community or in
Algeria are imported into a free zone under cover of a proof of
origin and undergo treatment or processing, the authorities con-
cerned shall
issue a new movement certificate EUR.1 at the
exporter’s request, if the treatment or processing undergone is in
conformity with the provisions of this Protocol.

PROTOCOL No 6: 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 Harmonized 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 Harmonized 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 sta-
tus 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 can-
not 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.

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.

L 265/126

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

10.10.2005

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 obvi-
ously 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 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-originating
yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth, even if non-woven cloths can-
not normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting material would normally be at the stage before yarn, that
is, the fibre stage.

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,

— coarse animal hair,

— fine animal hair,

— horsehair,

— cotton,

10.10.2005

— paper-making materials and paper,

— flax,

— true hemp,

— jute and other textile bast fibres,

— sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,

— coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,

— synthetic man-made filaments,

— artificial man-made filaments,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,

— 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, sandwiched 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 manu-
facture 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 manu-
facture 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
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.

L 265/128

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

10.10.2005

Example:

If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of head-
ing 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accord-
ingly, 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, pro-
vided 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 rea-
son, 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 sul-
phuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally-active earth,
activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g) polymerisation;

(h)

alkylation;

(i)

isomerisation.

7.2. For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:

(a)

vacuum-distillation;

(b)

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation-process;

(c)

cracking;

(g) polymerisation;

(h)

alkylation;

(ij)

(k)

isomerisation;

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)

(n)

(o)

(p)

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 lubricat-
ing 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;

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 contain-
ing 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 clean-
ing, decanting, desalting, water-separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur-content as a result of mix-
ing products with different sulphur-contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not confer
origin.

carried out. This provision shall also apply to any other authority
to which the request has been addressed by the requested author-
ity in application of this Protocol when the latter cannot act on
its own.

L 265/216

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

10.10.2005

Requests for assistance shall be executed in accordance with
2.
the legal or regulatory provisions of the requested Contracting
Party.

Duly authorised officials of one of the Contracting Parties
3.
may, with the agreement of the other Party involved and subject
to the conditions laid down by the latter, be present to obtain in
the offices of the requested authority or any other authority con-
cerned in accordance with paragraph 1, information relating to
activities that are or may be operations in breach of customs leg-
islation which the applicant authority needs for the purposes of
this Protocol.

4.
Duly authorised officials of a Contracting Party may, with

the conditions laid down by the latter, be present at enquiries car-
ried out in the latter’s territory.

Article 8

Form in which information is to be communicated

in cases where certified copies would be insufficient. These origi-
nals shall be returned at the earliest opportunity.

Article 9

Exceptions to the obligation to provide assistance

1.
Assistance may be refused or may be subject to the satisfac-
tion of certain conditions or requirements, in cases where a Party
is of the opinion that assistance under this Protocol would:

(a) be likely to prejudice Algeria’s sovereignty or that of a Mem-
ber State of the Community whose assistance has been
requested pursuant to this Protocol;

or

(b) be likely to prejudice public policy, security or other essen-
tial interests, in particular in the cases referred to under
Article 10(2);

Assistance may be postponed by the requested authority on
2.
the ground that it will interfere with an ongoing investigation,
prosecution or proceeding. In such a case, the requested author-
ity shall consult with the applicant authority to determine if assis-
tance can be given subject to such terms or conditions as the
requested authority may require.

3. Where the applicant authority seeks assistance which it
would itself be unable to provide if so requested, it shall draw
attention to that fact in its request. It shall then be for the
requested authority to decide how to respond to such a request.

4.
For the cases referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, the decision
of the requested authority and the reasons for it must be commu-

JOINT DECLARATIONS

JOINT DECLARATION RELATING TO ARTICLE 44 OF THE AGREEMENT,

Under the Agreement, the Parties agree that intellectual, industrial and commercial property comprises, in par-
ticular, copyright, including copyright in computer programs, and neighbouring rights, database rights, com-
mercial trademarks and geographical descriptions including designation of origin, industrial designs and
models, patents, configuration plans (topographies) of integrated circuits, protection of undisclosed informa-
tion and protection against unfair competition in accordance with Article 10(a) of the Paris Convention for
the Protection of Industrial Property (1967 Stockholm Act) and the protection of confidential information con-
cerning ‘know-how’.

JOINT DECLARATION ON HUMAN EXCHANGES

The Parties will examine the desirability of negotiating agreements on sending Algerian workers to take up tem-
porary work.

JOINT DECLARATION RELATING TO ARTICLE 84 OF THE AGREEMENT,

The Parties declare that the term ‘nationals of other countries arriving in their territory direct from the terri-
tory of the other’ will be defined in the context of the agreements referred to in Article 84(2).

JOINT DECLARATION RELATING TO ARTICLE 104 OF THE AGREEMENT

1. The Parties agree, for the purpose of the correct interpretation and practical application of this Agreement,
that the term ‘cases of special urgency’ in Article 104 means a case of the material breach of the Agreement
by one of the Parties. A material breach of the Agreement consists in:

— repudiation of the Agreement not sanctioned by the general rules of international law,

— violation of the essential elements of the Agreement agreed to in Article 2.

2. The Parties agree that the ‘appropriate measures’ referred to in Article 104 of the Agreement are measures
taken in accordance with international law. If a Party takes a measure in a case of special urgency as pro-
vided for under Article 104, the other Party may avail itself of the procedure relating to settlement of
disputes.

JOINT DECLARATION RELATING TO ARTICLE 110 OF THE AGREEMENT

The advantages which Algeria derives from the arrangements granted to it by France under the Protocol on
goods originating in and coming from certain countries and enjoying special treatment when imported into a
Member State, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, have been taken into account in
this Agreement. As a result, these special arrangements must be considered repealed from the date on which
the Agreement enters into force.

DECLARATIONS BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

DECLARATION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY ON TURKEY

The Community recalls that in accordance with the Customs Union in force between the Community and Tur-
key, the latter has the obligation, in relation to countries which are not members of the Community, to align
itself on the Common Customs Tariff and, progressively, on the preferential customs regime of the Commu-
nity, taking the necessary measures and negotiating agreements on mutually advantageous basis with the coun-
tries concerned. Consequently, the Community invites Algeria to enter into negotiations with Turkey as soon
as possible.

DECLARATION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY ON THE ACCESSION OF ALGERIA TO THE WTO

The European Community and its Member States state their support for Algeria’s rapid accession to the WTO
and agree to provide any assistance necessary to this end.

DECLARATION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY RELATING TO ARTICLE 41 OF THE AGREEMENT

The Community declares that, in interpreting Article 41(1) of the Agreement, it will evaluate any practice con-
trary to that Article on the basis of the criteria resulting from the rules contained in Articles 81 and 82 of the
Treaty establishing the European Community, including secondary legislation.

DECLARATION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY RELATING TO THE FIRST INDENT OF ARTICLE 84(1) OF THE
AGREEMENT

As regards the Member States of the European Union, the obligations set out in the first indent of Article 84(1)
of this Agreement apply only to those persons who are to be considered their nationals for Community
purposes.

DECLARATION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY RELATING TO ARTICLE 88 OF THE AGREEMENT (RACISM
AND XENOPHOBIA)

The provisions of Article 88 apply without prejudice to the provisions and conditions relating to the admis-
sion and residence of nationals of other countries and stateless persons on the territory of the Member States
of the European Union or to any treatment associated with the legal status of the third-country nationals and
stateless persons concerned.

DECLARATIONS BY ALGERIA

DECLARATION BY ALGERIA RELATING TO ARTICLE 9 OF THE AGREEMENT

Algeria considers one of the essential objectives of the Association Agreement to be an increase in the flow of
European direct investment in Algeria. It invites the Community and its Member States to support the prac-
tical realisation of this objective, in particular in the context of trade liberalisation and the dismantling of tariff
barriers. The Association Council will examine the question if the need arises.

DECLARATION BY ALGERIA ON CUSTOMS UNION BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND TURKEY

Algeria takes note of the Declaration by the European Community on Turkey. While observing that this dec-
laration arises from the existence of customs union between those parties, Algeria will consider this matter
when the time comes.

DECLARATION BY ALGERIA RELATING TO ARTICLE 41 OF THE AGREEMENT

In applying its law on competition, Algeria will bear in mind the competition policy guidelines developed
within the European Union.

DECLARATION BY ALGERIA RELATING TO ARTICLE 91 OF THE AGREEMENT

Algeria considers that suspending the principle of banking secrecy is an essential factor in combating
corruption.
