EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

A system of diagonal cumulation of origin has been put in place in 1997 between the 
Community,  Bulgaria,  Poland,  Hungary,  the  Czech  Republic,  the  Slovak  Republic, 
Romania,  Lithuania,  Latvia,  Estonia,  Slovenia,  Iceland,  Norway  and  Switzerland 
(including Liechtenstein) and extended in 1999 to Turkey. 

At the Euro-med Trade Ministerial Meeting in Toledo of March 2002, it was agreed 
to  extend  this  system  of  pan-European  cumulation  of  origin  to  the  Mediterranean 
partners,  as  the  follow-up  of  the  Barcelona  Process  launched  by  Barcelona 
Declaration adopted on 27 and 28 November 1995. 

At  the  Euromed  Trade  Ministerial  Meeting  in  Palermo  on  7  July  2003,  Ministers 
endorsed the new Protocol on rules of origin which allows the extension of the pan-
European  system  of  cumulation  of  origin  to  the  Mediterranean  countries.  Ministers 
also  requested  the  partners  concerned  to  take  the  necessary  steps  to  insert  the  new 
protocol in their agreements. 

In  particular  it  is  necessary  to  reword  articles  on  cumulation  as  such  but  also  to 
introduce  new  provisions  on  certification  of  origin,  to  harmonise  provisions 
concerning  the  prohibition  of  drawback  of,  or  exemption  from,  customs  duties,  to 
harmonise the processing requirements laid down in the protocols for non-originating 
materials  to  obtain  originating  status  and  to  introduce  amendments  which  would 
make the provisions of all protocols identical. 

Further to the outcome of the EC – Faroe Islands/Denmark Joint Committee of the 
28 November 2003, it is proposed to also include the Faeroe Islands in the system of 
pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation of origin. 

As the differences in tariff preferences granted by the Community to Turkey on the 
one  hand  and  to  its  other  European  trade  partners  on  the  other  hand  have 
disappeared, it is proposed to allow also agricultural products originating in Turkey 
to benefit from the pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation of origin. 

Accordingly, in order to introduce pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation of origin, the 
Community has to replace the protocols on rules of origin attached to the free trade 
agreements  with  the  following  countries:  Bulgaria,  Romania,  Iceland,  Norway, 
Switzerland,  the  Faroe  Islands,  Turkey,  Algeria,  Egypt,  Israel,  Jordan,  Lebanon, 
Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and Gaza Strip 
as  well  as  the  protocol  on  rules  of  origin  attached  to  the  European  Economic  Area 
Agreement.  In  the  case  of  Syria,  the  pan-Euro-Mediterranean  protocol  on  rules  of 
origin is inserted in the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement being negotiated. 

The  Council  is  therefore  asked  to  adopt  a  Community  position  on  the  extension  of 
the system of cumulation of origin to Mediterranean partners and to present it to the 
institutions provided for in each of the agreements concerned. 

In the case of Algeria, it is proposed to postpone the presentation of the Community 
position to the EU-Algeria Association Council until the entry into force of the trade 
provisions  of  the  Euro-Mediterranean  Agreement,  signed  in  Valencia  on  22  April 
2002.

In  accordance  with  the  statement  of  the  European  Union  on  the  occasion  of  the 
fourth meeting of the EU-Israel Association Council on 17 and 18 November 2003, 
the  Community  position  should  only  be  presented  to  the  EU-Israel  Association 
Council after solving the EU-Israel bilateral issue of rules of origin.

Draft 

DECISION OF THE EC/DENMARK-FAROE ISLANDS JOINT COMMITTEE 

amending Protocol 3 to the Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of 
‘originating products’ and methods of administrative co-operation 

THE JOINT COMMITTEE, 

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the 
Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other part1, 
hereinafter  referred  to  as  "the  Agreement"  signed  in  Brussels  on  6  December  1996,  and  in 
particular Article 34(1) thereof, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

(5) 

(6) 

The current Protocol to the Agreement provides for the bilateral cumulation of origin 
between the Community and the Faroe Islands; 

The  extension  of  the  system  of  cumulation  is  desirable  making  it  possible  to  use 
materials  originating  in  the  Community,  Bulgaria,  Romania,  Iceland,  Norway, 
Switzerland  (including  Liechtenstein),  the  Faroe  Islands,  Turkey  or  in  any  other 
country  which  is  participant  to  the  Euro-Mediterranean  partnership,  based  on  the 
Barcelona Declaration adopted at the Euro-Mediterranean Conference held on 27 and 
28 November 1995, in order to develop trade and promote regional integration; 

For the purposes of implementing the extended system of cumulation only between the 
countries having fulfilled the necessary conditions and in order to avoid circumvention 
of customs duties, it is necessary to introduce new provisions concerning certification 
of origin; 

For the purposes of implementing the extended system of cumulation and in order to 
avoid  circumvention  of  customs  duties,  it  is  necessary  to  harmonise  the  provisions 
concerning the prohibition of drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties and the 
processing  requirements  laid  down  in  the  Protocol  for  non-originating  materials  to 
obtain  originating  status  and  to  include  an  article  in  the  Protocol  allowing  the 
Community,  in  cases  of  fraud  or  lack  of  administrative  co-operation,  to  suspend 
diagonal cumulation by the Faroe Islands; 

The extended system of cumulation of origin implies that the same provisions on rules 
of  origin  apply  in  the  context  of  preferential  agreements  concluded  between  the 
countries concerned; 

Goods  in  transit  or  storage  on  the  day  on  which  this  Decision  becomes  applicable 
should  be  covered  by  transitional  provisions  allowing  them  to  benefit  from  the 
extended system of cumulation;

Joint Declarations concerning the review and revision of the use of cumulation by the 
Faroe Islands, and concerning the amendment of the Protocol have to be introduced. 

Some technical amendments are required in order to correct anomalies in and between 
the different language versions of the text; 

It  is  therefore  appropriate,  for  the  proper  functioning  of  the  Agreement  and  with  a 
view  to  facilitate  the  work  of  users  and  customs  administrations,  to  incorporate  in  a 
new text of the Protocol all the provisions in question. 

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 

Article 1 

Protocol  3  of  the  Agreement,  concerning  the  definition  of  the  concept  of  ‘originating 
products’ and methods of administrative co-operation, shall be replaced by the text attached 
hereto, together with the relevant Joint Declarations. 

Article 2 

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

It is applicable from the first day of the month following the day of its adoption.

Legal basis 

Article 133 of the Treaty 

Title of the measure 

Proposal  for  an  amendment  to  the  definition  of  the  concept  of  ‘originating  products’  and 
methods of administrative co-operation set out in the protocols to the agreements between the 
EU and Bulgaria, Romania, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, the Faroe Islands, Turkey, Algeria, 
Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Palestinian Authority of the West Bank 
and Gaza Strip as well as the protocol on rules of origin attached to the European Economic 
Area Agreement. 

Objective 

To extend the system of pan-European cumulation of origin to the Mediterranean partners and 
to the Faroe Islands. 

Financial implications 

As the extension of the system of cumulation of origin to the Mediterranean partners and to 
the  Faroe  Islands  is  without  any  implication  on  the  tariff  concessions  granted  by  the 
agreements, the proposal does not have any financial implications.

Article 6 

Sufficiently worked or processed products 

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. 

The  conditions  referred  to  above  indicate,  for  all  products  covered  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. 

(a) 

(b) 

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: 

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

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 Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized 
System. 

3. 

Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to the provisions of Article 7. 

Article 7 

Insufficient working or processing 

1. 

Without  prejudice  to  paragraph  2,  the  following  operations  shall  be  considered  as

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 8 

Unit of qualification 

1. 

The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be 
the  particular  product  which  is  considered  as  the  basic  unit  when  determining 
classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System. 

It follows that:

(a) 

(b) 

2. 

when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the 
terms of the Harmonized System in a single heading, the whole constitutes the unit of 
qualification; 

when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the 
same  heading  of  the  Harmonized  System,  each  product  must  be  taken  individually 
when applying the provisions of this Protocol. 

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

Article 9 

Accessories, spare parts and tools 

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. 

Article 10 

Sets 

Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonized 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 11 

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: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

energy and fuel; 

plant and equipment; 

machines and tools; 

goods  which  do  not  enter  and  which  are  not  intended  to  enter  into  the  final 
composition of the product.

2. 

Except  as  provided  for  in  Article  2(1)(c),  Articles  3  and  4  and  paragraph  3  of  this 
Article,  the  conditions  for  acquiring  originating  status  set  out  in  Title  II  must  be 
fulfilled without interruption in the Community or in the Faroe Islands. 

Except  as  provided  for  in  Articles  3  and  4,  where  originating  goods  exported  from 
the  Community  or  from  the  Faroe  Islands  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; 

and 

8.1. 

3. 

(a) 

and 

they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them 

(b) 
in good condition while in that country or while being exported. 

The acquisition of originating status in accordance with the conditions set out in Title 
II shall not be affected by working or processing done outside the Community or the 
Faroe Islands on materials exported from the Community or from the Faroe Islandsa 
and subsequently re-imported there, provided: 

the said materials are wholly obtained in the Community or in the Faroe Islandsa or 
have undergone working or processing beyond the operations referred to in Article 7 
prior to being exported; 

(b) 

it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that: 

i) 

the  re-imported  goods  have  been  obtained  by  working  or  processing  the 
exported materials; 

and 

4. 

ii) 

the total added value acquired outside the Community or the Faroe Islands by 
applying the provisions of this Article does not exceed 10 % of the ex-works 
price of the end product for which originating status is claimed. 

For  the  purposes  of  paragraph  3,  the  conditions  for  acquiring  originating  status  set 
out in Title II shall not apply to working or processing done outside the Community 
or  the  Faroe  Islands.  But  where,  in  the  list  in  Annex  II,  a  rule  setting  a  maximum 
value for all the non-originating materials incorporated is applied in determining the 
originating status of the end product, the total value of the non-originating materials

incorporated  in  the  territory  of  the  party  concerned,  taken  together  with  the  total 
added  value  acquired  outside  the  Community  or  the  Faroe  Islands  by  applying  the 
provisions of this Article, shall not exceed the stated percentage. 

For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, 'total added value' 
shall be taken to mean all costs arising outside the Community or the Faroe Islands, 
including the value of the materials incorporated there.  

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products which do not fulfil 
the conditions set out in the list in Annex II or which can be considered sufficiently 
worked or processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article 6(2) is applied. 

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products of Chapters 50 to 63 
of the Harmonized System. 

Any working or processing of the kind covered by the provisions of this Article and 
done  outside  the  Community  or  the  Faroe  Islands  shall  be  done  under  the  outward 
processing arrangements, or similar arrangements. 

Article 13 

Direct transport 

The  preferential  treatment  provided  for  under  the  Agreement  applies  only  to 
products, satisfying the requirements of this Protocol, which are transported directly 
between the Community and the Faroe Islands or through the territories of the other 
countries  referred  to  in  Articles  3  and  4  with  which  cumulation  is  applicable. 
However, products constituting one single consignment may be transported through 
other  territories  with,  should  the  occasion  arise,  trans-shipment  or  temporary 
warehousing in such territories, provided that they remain under the surveillance of 
the customs authorities in the country of transit 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  territory  other  than  that  of  the 
Community or the Faroe Islands. 

2. 

(a) 

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 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:

importation  in  the  Community  or  in  the  Faroe  Islands  shall  benefit  on  importation 
from the provisions of the Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the 
customs authorities that: 

an  exporter  has  consigned  these  products  from  the  Community  or  from  the  Faroe 
Islands to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there;

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

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

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.

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 be prepared to submit at 
any  time,  upon  request  from  the  customs  authorities,  all  appropriate  documents

Article 18 

Movement certificates EUR.1 or EUR-MED issued retrospectively 

Notwithstanding  Article 17(9),  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  or  EUR-MED  may 
exceptionally be issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if: 

it  was  not  issued  at  the  time  of  exportation  because  of  errors  or  involuntary 
omissions or special circumstances; 

it  is  demonstrated  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  customs  authorities  that  a  movement 
certificate EUR.1 or EUR-MED was issued but was not accepted at importation for 
technical reasons. 

Notwithstanding  Article 17(9),  a  movement  certificate  EUR-MED  may  be  issued 
after  exportation  of  the  products  to  which  it  relates  and  for  which  a  movement 
certificate  EUR.1  was  issued  at  the  time  of  exportation,  provided  that  it  is 
demonstrated  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  customs  authorities  that  the  conditions 
referred to in Article 17(5) are satisfied. 

For  the  implementation  of  paragraphs 1  and  2,  the  exporter  must  indicate  in  his 
application the place and date of exportation of the products to which the movement 
certificate EUR.1 or EUR-MED relates, and state the reasons for his request. 

The  customs  authorities  may  issue  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  or  EUR-MED 
retrospectively  only  after  verifying  that  the  information  supplied  in  the  exporter's 
application agrees with that in the corresponding file. 

Movement certificates EUR.1 or EUR-MED issued retrospectively must be endorsed 
with the following phrase in English: 

'ISSUED RETROSPECTIVELY' 

Movement certificates EUR-MED issued retrospectively by application of paragraph

Issue of a duplicate movement certificate EUR.1 or EUR-MED  

In the event of theft, loss or destruction of a  movement certificate EUR.1 or EUR-
MED,  the  exporter  may  apply  to  the  customs  authorities  which  issued  it  for  a 
duplicate made out on the basis of the export documents in their possession. 

The  duplicate  issued  in  this  way  must  be  endorsed  with  the  following  word  in 
English: 

'DUPLICATE' 

The  endorsement  referred  to  in  paragraph 2  shall  be  inserted  in  Box  7  of  the 
duplicate movement certificate EUR.1 or EUR-MED. 

The duplicate, which must bear the date of issue of the original movement certificate 
EUR.1 or EUR-MED, shall take effect as from that date. 

Article 20 

Issue of movement certificates EUR.1 or EUR-MED on the basis of a  
proof of origin issued or made out previously 

When originating products are placed under the control of a customs office in the Community 
or in the Faroe Islands, it shall be possible to  replace the original proof of origin by one or 
more movement certificates EUR.1 or EUR-MED for the purpose of sending all or some of 
these  products  elsewhere  within  the  Community  or  the  Faroe  Islands.  The  replacement 
movement  certificate(s)  EUR.1  or  EUR-MED  shall  be  issued  by  the  customs  office  under 
whose control the products are placed. 

Article 21 

Accounting segregation 

1. 

2. 

Where  considerable  cost  or  material  difficulties  arise  in  keeping  separate  stocks  of 
originating  and  non-originating  materials  which  are  identical  and  interchangeable, 
the customs authorities may, at the written request of those concerned, authorise the 
so-called 'accounting segregation' method to be used for managing such stocks. 

This method must be able to ensure that, for a specific reference-period, the number 
of  products  obtained  which  could  be  considered  as  'originating'  is  the  same  as  that 
which would have been obtained if there had been physical segregation of the stocks.

The  customs  authorities  may  grant  such  authorisation,  subject  to  any  conditions 
deemed appropriate. 

This method is recorded and applied on the basis of the general accounting principles 
applicable in the country where the product was manufactured. 

The beneficiary of this facilitation may make out or apply for proofs of origin, as the 
case may be, for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating. At 
the  request  of  the  customs  authorities,  the  beneficiary  shall  provide  a  statement  of 
how the quantities have been managed. 

The  customs  authorities  shall  monitor  the  use  made  of  the  authorisation  and  may 
withdraw  it  at  any  time  whenever  the  beneficiary  makes  improper  use  of  the 
authorisation in any manner whatsoever or fails to fulfil any of the other conditions 
laid down in this Protocol. 

Article 22 

Conditions for making out an invoice declaration or an invoice declaration EUR-MED 

An invoice declaration or an invoice declaration EUR-MED as referred to in Article 
16(1)(c) may be made out: 

by an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 23, 

by any exporter for any consignment consisting of one or more packages containing 
originating products whose total value does not exceed EUR 6,000. 

Without  prejudice  to  paragraph  3,  an  invoice  declaration  may  be  made  out  in  the 
following cases: 

-  if  the  products  concerned  can  be  considered  as  products  originating  in  the 
Community or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4, and 
fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol; 

- if the products concerned  can be  considered as products originating in one of the 
countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 with which cumulation is applicable,

Articles 3 and 4, or 

- the products may be re-exported from the country of destination to one of the other 

countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4. 

4. 

An  invoice  declaration  EUR-MED  shall  contain one  of the following statements in 
English: 

- if origin has been obtained by application of cumulation with materials originating 

in one or more of the countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4: 

'CUMULATION APPLIED WITH ……'(name of the country/countries) 

-  if  origin  has  been  obtained  without  the  application  of  cumulation  with  materials 
originating in one or more of the countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4: 

'NO CUMULATION APPLIED' 

The exporter making out an invoice declaration or an invoice declaration EUR-MED 
shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorities of 
the exporting country, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the 
products  concerned  as  well  as  the  fulfilment  of  the  other  requirements  of  this

signature  of  the  exporter  in  manuscript.  However,  an  approved  exporter  within  the 
meaning of Article 23 shall not be required to sign such declarations 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. 

An invoice declaration or an invoice declaration EUR-MED may be made out by the 
exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation 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 23 

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

   EN 

 
 
products  under  this  Agreement  to  make  out  invoice  declarations  or  invoice 
declarations  EUR-MED  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 status of the products as 
well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 

The  customs  authorities  may  grant  the  status  of  approved  exporter  subject  to  any 
conditions which they consider appropriate. 

The customs authorities shall grant to the approved exporter a customs authorisation 
number which shall appear on the invoice declaration or on the invoice declaration 
EUR _MED. 

The  customs  authorities  shall  monitor  the  use  of  the  authorisation  by  the  approved 
exporter. 

The customs authorities may withdraw the authorisation at any time. They shall do 
so  where  the  approved  exporter  no  longer  offers  the  guarantees  referred  to  in 
paragraph 1, no longer fulfils the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise 
makes an incorrect use of the authorisation. 

Article 24 

Validity of proof of origin 

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 importing country. 

Proofs  of  origin  which  are  submitted  to  the  customs  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. 

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

commercial purpose is in view. 

Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed EUR 500 in the case

For  the  application  of  the  provisions  of  Article  22(1)(b)  and  Article  27(3)  in  cases 
where products are invoiced in a currency other than  euro,  amounts in  the national 
currencies of the Member States of the Community, of the Faroe Islands and of the 
other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 equivalent to the amounts expressed in 
euro shall be fixed annually by each of the countries concerned. 

A consignment shall benefit from the provisions of Article 22(1)(b) or Article 27(3) 
by  reference  to  the  currency  in  which  the  invoice  is  drawn  up,  according  to  the 
amount fixed by the country concerned. 

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

A country may round up or down the amount resulting from the conversion into its 
national currency of an amount expressed in euro. 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 
euro  if,  at  the  time  of  the  annual  adjustment  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 equivalent may 
be retained unchanged if the conversion would result in a decrease in that equivalent 
value. 

The  amounts  expressed  in  euro  shall  be  reviewed  by  the  Joint  Committee  at  the 
request of the Community or of the Faroe Islands. When carrying out this review, the 
Joint Committee 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 euro.

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  paragraph  1,  the  customs 
authorities of the importing country shall return the movement certificate EUR.1 or 
EUR-MED  and  the  invoice,  if  it  has  been  submitted,  the  invoice  declaration  or  the 
invoice  declaration  EUR-MED,  or  a  copy  of  these  documents,  to  the  customs 
authorities  of  the  exporting  country  giving,  where  appropriate,  the  reasons  for  the 
enquiry.  Any  documents  and  information  obtained  suggesting  that  the  information 
given on the proof of origin is incorrect shall be forwarded in support of the request 
for verification. 

The  verification  shall  be  carried  out  by  the  customs  authorities  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  exporter's  accounts  or  any  other  check  considered 
appropriate. 

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 
precautionary measures judged necessary.

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 6 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 6  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  a 
contracting party. 

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 

EN 

39 

   EN

 
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 uses the expression "Manufacture 
from  materials  of  any  heading",  then  materials  of  any  heading(s)  (even 
materials  of  the  same  description  and  heading  as  the  product)  may  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 ..." or "Manufacture from materials of any 
heading, including other materials of the same heading as the product" means 
that  materials  of  any  heading(s)  may  be  used,  except  those  of  the  same 
description as the product as given in column 2 of the list. 

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 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 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 cannot 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,

-  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  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 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. 

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. 

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. 

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:

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; 

(h)  alkylation; 

(i) 

isomerisation.

with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally-active 
earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite; 

(g)  polymerisation; 

(h)  alkylation; 

(ij)  isomerisation; 

(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; 

(n)  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; 

(o)  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; 

(p)  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.

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

JOINT DECLARATIONconcerning the amendment of the Protocol in the 
framework of the system of diagonal cumulation resulting from Articles 3 and 4 
of the Protocol on Origin 

Whereas this Protocol is part of a system of diagonal cumulation of origin referred to 
in Articles 3 and 4 of the Protocol. 

Whereas the operation of such a system relies on a network of protocols on rules of 
origin, identical between all parties taking part in the cumulation. 

Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark participates, as a Member State of the European 
Union and pursuant to Article 133 of the EC Treaty, in the adoption by the Council of 
common positions prior to decisions by the bodies responsible for the amendment of 
those protocols. 

It is noted that the Faroe Islands and the Government of Denmark agree to accept, in 
the  Joint  Committee,  any  amendment  of  this  Protocol  presented  by  the  Community 
and  intended  to  align  the  provisions  of  the  Protocol  on  those  resulting  from 
amendments  of  the  "origin"  protocols  of  agreements  concluded  by  the  Community 
with  the  other  parties  in  the  system  of  cumulation  referred  to  in  Articles  3  and  4  of 
this Protocol. 

The  Faroe  Islands  also  undertake  to  amend  in  the  same  way  the  protocols  of 
agreements which they have signed with the other parties in the system of cumulation 
referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of this Protocol. 

The Community and the Kingdom of Denmark undertake to inform the Faroe Islands 
of  any  negotiations  with  a  view  to  amending  the  "origin"  protocols  of  agreements 
concluded  by  the  Community  with  the  other  parties  in  the  system  of  cumulation 
referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of this Protocol and to notify to them the amendments 
adopted.
