Appendix to Protocol 2

Provisions on administrative cooperation

1. The Contracting Parties agree that administrative cooperation is essential for the implementation and the control of
the preferential treatment granted under this Protocol and underline their commitment to combat irregularities and fraud
in customs and related matters.

2. Where a Contracting Party has made a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to provide
administrative cooperation and/or of irregularities or fraud under this Protocol, the Contracting Party concerned may
temporarily suspend the relevant preferential treatment of the product(s) concerned in accordance with this Annex.

3.

For the purpose of this Appendix a failure to provide administrative cooperation shall mean, inter alia:

(a) a repeated failure to respect the obligations to verify the originating status of the product(s) concerned;

(b) a repeated refusal or undue delay in carrying out and/or communicating the results of subsequent verification of the

proof of origin;

(c) a repeated refusal or undue delay in obtaining authorisation to conduct administrative cooperation missions to verify
the authenticity of documents or accuracy of information relevant to the granting of the preferential treatment in
question.

For the purpose of this Appendix a finding of irregularities or fraud may be made,
increase, without satisfactory explanation,
in imports of goods exceeding the usual
capacity of the other Contracting Party that is linked to objective information concerning irregularities or fraud.

inter alia, where there is a rapid
level of production and export

4. The application of a temporary suspension shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a)

the Contracting Party which has made a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to provide
administrative cooperation and/or of irregularities or fraud in customs and related matters shall without undue delay
notify the Joint Committee of its finding together with the objective information and enter into consultations within
the Joint Committee, on the basis of all relevant information and objective findings, with a view to reaching
a solution acceptable to both Contracting Parties;

(b) where the Contracting Parties have entered into consultations within the Joint Committee as above and have failed to
agree on an acceptable solution within three months following the notification, the Contracting Party concerned may
temporarily suspend the relevant preferential treatment of the product(s) concerned. A temporary suspension shall be
notified to the Joint Committee without undue delay;

(c)

temporary suspensions under this Appendix shall be limited to that necessary to protect the financial interests of the
Contracting Party concerned. They shall not exceed a period of six months, which may be renewed. Temporary
suspensions shall be notified immediately after their adoption to the Joint Committee. They shall be subject to
periodic consultations within the Joint Committee in particular with a view to their termination as soon as the
conditions for their application are no longer given;

5. At the same time as the notification to the Joint Committee under paragraph 4(a) of this Appendix, the Contracting
Party concerned should publish a notice to importers in its Official Journal. The notice to importers should indicate for
the product concerned that there is a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to provide administrative
cooperation and/or of irregularities or fraud.
