Implementation of Articles 3(4) and 4(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 82/2001 of 5 December
2000 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of adminis-
trative cooperation in trade between the customs territory of the Community and Ceuta and
Melilla

List of countries and the date on which the cumulation either in the Community or in Ceuta and
Melilla may be applied

(2002/C 108/03)

Articles 3 and 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 82/2001 of 5 December 2000 concerning the definition of
the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation in trade between the
customs territory of the Community and Ceuta and Melilla (published in OJ L 20, 20.1.2001) have
introduced a possibility of cumulation of origin between the Community, Ceuta and Melilla or any
other country with which the Community has signed a reciprocal agreement whose protocol on rules
of origin lays down special provisions for Ceuta and Melilla.

Articles 3(4) and 4(4) provide for a publication by the Commission of the list of countries and the date on
which such a cumulation may be applied.

The countries concerned are mentioned, by cumulation zone, in the following table. Cumulation between
the Community, Ceuta and Melilla, and one or several of those countries may be applied only in the
framework of one single cumulation zone which the Community belongs to and according to the
cumulation system and the rules of origin to be applied by the countries of this zone. It means that
exporters either from Ceuta and Melilla or from the Community have to choose only one cumulation
system for those products obtained, either in Ceuta and Melilla or in the Community, from materials
originating in different partner countries (1).

The countries with which the Community has preferential agreements but have not signed on a reciprocal
basis and/or whose protocols on rules of origin do not include special provisions for Ceuta and Melilla are
not mentioned in the list.

(1) Example: Carpets produced in Melilla, using Moroccan textile pulps and Polish natural fibres cannot take benefit
simultaneously of ‘PanEuropean’ diagonal cumulation and full cumulation with Morocco. The exporter to EU should
choose between applying cumulation to Moroccan textile pulps and considering Polish fibres as non-originating or
applying cumulation to the Polish natural fibres and considering Moroccan textile pulps as non-originating.
