to Decision No 2/2000 of the EU-Mexico
Joint Council of 23 March 2000, concerning the
definition of the concept of (cid:145)originating products(cid:146) and
methods of administrative cooperation sets out the rules
of origin for the products originating in the territory of
the Parties to the Agreement.

To ensure the correct and harmonious operation of
these rules, it is necessary to adapt Annex III in order to
include the amendments to the Harmonised Commodity
Description and Coding System ((cid:145)Harmonised System(cid:146))
which took effect on 1 January 2002.

The sole purpose of the adaptation contained in this
to establish consistency between the
Decision is
Appendices and Joint Declaration VI, on the one hand,
and the Parties’ tariff laws and regulations, on the other
hand, and cannot therefore be considered to constitute a
substantial change to Decision No 2/2000.

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

1.
For the purposes of benefiting from the special rules of
origin applied within the limits of the quotas provided for in
Appendix II and in Notes 9 and 12.1 of Appendix II(a) of
Annex III to Decision No 2/2000, either box No 7 (Remarks)
of the movement certificate EUR. 1 or the invoice declaration
must include the phrase contained in Annex I to this Decision
for the relevant tariff heading, in any of the languages listed in
Article 59 of the Agreement.

2.
The European Commission and the Secretar(cid:237)a de
Econom(cid:237)a shall regularly inform each other as to the quantities
of products drawn from these quotas for rules of origin.

Article 2

1.
Note 7.4 to Appendix I, Appendix II and Note 4 to
Appendix II(a) of Annex III to Decision No 2/2000, as well as
Joint Declaration VI, shall be replaced by the text contained in
Annex II to this Decision.

2.

Harmonised System, the expression (cid:145)heading No(cid:146) or (cid:145)heading

To ensure a smooth transition between the existing
rules and the new rules as defined by this Decision, it
appears desirable to set up a mechanism that, upon

Where, following the amendments made to the Harmonised
System, the changes to the rules of origin as introduced by this
Decision alter the substance of any rule existing previously,

and where it appears that such alteration results in a situation
prejudicial to the interest of the sectors concerned, then, if one
of the Parties so requests in the period up to three years after
the date on which this Decision enters into force, the Joint
Committee shall examine as a matter of urgency the need to
restore the substance of the rule concerned as it was before
this Decision. At all events, the Joint Committee shall decide to
restore, or not to restore, the substance of the rule concerned
within a period of six months of the request being made to it
by either of the Parties to the Agreement.

This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN APPENDICES II AND II(a)

Note 7:

((cid:133))

7.4. Redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process means distillation (other than topping) by a continuous or
batch process employed in industrial installations using distillates of subheadings 2710 11 to 2710 99, 2711 11,
2711 12 to 2711 19, 2711 21 and 2711 29 (other than propane of a purity of 99 % or more) to obtain:

1.

isolated high-purity hydrocarbons (90 % or more in the case of olefins and 95 % or more in the case of
other hydrocarbons), mixtures of isomers having the same organic composition being regarded as isolated
hydrocarbons.

Only those processes by means of which at least three different products are obtained are admissible, but
this restriction does not apply in any instance where the process consists in the separation of isomers.
Insofar as this concerns xylenes, ethylbenzene is included with xylene isomers;

2.

Products of subheadings 2707 10 to 2707 30, 2707 50 and 2710 11 to 2710 99:

(a) with no overlapping of the final boiling point of one fraction and the initial boiling point of the
succeeding fraction and a difference of not more than 60 (cid:176)C between the temperatures at which 5 % and
90 % by the volume (including losses) distil by the ASTM D 86-67 method (re-approved 1972);

(b) with an overlapping of the final boiling point of one fraction and the initial boiling point of the
succeeding fraction and a difference of not more than 30 (cid:176)C between the temperatures at which 5 % and
90 % by volume (including losses) distil by the ASTM D 86-67 method (re-approved 1972).

Joint Declaration VI

Regarding Note 4 of Appendix II(a) to Annex III for headings 4104 and 4107

1. The Joint Committee shall extend beyond 31 December 2002 the rule established in Note 4 of Appendix II(a), if
the multilateral/WTO negotiations continue beyond that date until these negotiations have finished. At that time, in
the light of the results of these negotiations, the Joint Committee shall determine the rule of origin to be applied.

2. Within the context of

the multilateral negotiations, both Parties shall seek to establish disciplines for the
elimination of export taxes or restrictions that operate to increase the exports of, or the protection afforded to,
domestic industries, such as leather.
