ANNEX I

TEXTILE PRODUCTS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 1

1. Without prejudice to the rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, the wording of the
description of goods is considered to be of indicative value only, since the products covered by each category are
determined, within this Annex, by CN codes. Where there is an ‘ex’ symbol in front of a CN code, the products
covered in each category are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that of the corresponding
description.

2. When the constitutive material of the products of categories 1 to 114 is not specifically mentioned, these
products are to be taken to be made exclusively of wool or of fine hair, of cotton or of man-made fibres.

3.

Garments which are not recognisable as being garments for men or boys or as being garments for women or
girls are classified with the latter.

4. Where the expression ‘babies’ garments'

is used, this is meant to cover garments up to and including

commercial size 86.

ANNEX III

AGREED MINUTE ON MARKET ACCESS

The Parties recorded their understanding that non-tariff barriers related to all forms of hindrance to trade in the sector
are not to be applied by either of the Parties. The Parties agree these non-tariff barriers include but are not limited to
matters such as:

— any additional customs duties on the import or sale of products of Community or Serbian origin in excess of
those set out in this Agreement, or any fees and charges in connection with importation or exportation in
excess of the approximate cost of services rendered,

— any taxes which are higher than any such taxes imposed on the production or sale of equivalent domestic goods,

— technical regulations or standards, or conformity assessment or certification rules, procedures or practices going

beyond the purposes for which they are required,

— any further barriers and controls within the territory of each Party hampering the free movement of goods after

customs clearance and their release into free circulation,

— any indicative values resulting in effective application of minimum prices or arbitrary and fictitious prices or any

customs valuation rules, procedures or practices giving rise to barriers to trade,

— rules, procedures or practices for pre-shipment inspection that are discriminatory, non-transparent, excessively
lengthy or burdensome, and the imposition of customs controls for the clearance of goods to shipments that
have already been subject of pre-shipment inspection,

— excessively burdensome, costly or arbitrary rules, procedures or practices concerning the certification of the
origin of products or requiring direct shipment of goods from the country of origin to the country of
destination,

— any non-automatic, discretionary or other licensing requirements, rules, procedures or practices imposing
disproportionate burdens or having restrictive effects on imports. In particular application for automatic
licenses submitted in an appropriate and complete form should be approved immediately on receipt, to the
extent administratively feasible, but within a maximum of 10 working days,

— requirements or practices concerning marking, labelling, the description of composition of the product or the
description of the manufacturing of products which, either in their formulation or in their application, are in
any form discriminatory as compared with domestic products and no more trade restrictive than necessary to
fulfil a legitimate objective,

— unduly long customs clearance delays or excessively burdensome, non-transparent or costly customs
procedures, including inspection requirements, which have an unnecessary restrictive effect on imports,

— subsidies causing injury to the textiles and clothing industry of the other Party.

In order to facilitate legitimate trade, notwithstanding the need of effective control, the Parties undertake to:

— cooperate and exchange information on all issues concerning customs legislation and procedures, and in
particular to deal promptly with problems faced by operators arising from measures covered by this Agreement,

— provide effective, non-discriminatory and prompt procedures enabling the right of appeal against customs and

other agency administrative actions, ruling and decisions affecting import or export of goods,

8.4.2005

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 90/61

— establish an appropriate consultation mechanism between customs administrations and traders on customs

regulations and procedures,

— publish, as far as possible through electronic means, and publicise new legislation and general procedures
related to customs, as well as any modification, no later than the entry into force of any such legislation and
procedures,

— cooperate with a view to reaching a common approach to issues relating to customs valuation, in particular the
elaboration of a ‘code of good practices’ in relation to working methods and operational aspects, the use of
indicative or reference indices, appropriate documentation to certify the accuracy of the customs value and the
use of securities. The Parties agree to open negotiations on the ‘code of good practices’ upon application of this
Agreement and to conclude them as soon as possible.

(a)

a description of the products concerned;

(b)

the relevant category and the related CN codes;

(c)

the reasons which have led to the decision.

3. Where a decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a change of category of any

the date of the Community's communication, before the decision is put into effect.

Products shipped before the date of entry into effect of the decision shall remain subject to the earlier classification
practice, provided that the goods in question are presented for importation into the Community within 60 days of
that date.

4. Where a Community decision on classification resulting in a change of classification practice or a change of
categorisation of any product subject to this Agreement affects a category subject to quantitative restrictions, the
Parties agree to enter into consultation in accordance with the procedures described in Article 8 of this Agreement
with a view to honouring the obligation under the third subparagraph of Article 9(1) of this Agreement.

In case of divergent opinions between Serbia and the competent Community authorities at the point of entry into
5.
the Community on the classification of products covered by this Agreement, classification shall provisionally be based
on indications provided by the Community, pending consultations in accordance with Article 8 of this Agreement
with a view to reaching agreement on definitive classification of the product concerned.

The certificate of origin shall be issued only on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the
exporter's responsibility, by his authorised representative. The Customs Administration of Serbia shall ensure that the
certificate of origin is properly completed and for this purpose they shall call for any necessary documentary evidence
or carry out any check which they consider appropriate.

Article 4

Where different criteria for determining origin are laid down for products falling within the same category, the
certificates or declarations of origin must contain a sufficiently detailed description of the goods on the basis of which
the certificate was issued or the declaration drawn up.

Article 5

The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the certificate of origin and those made in the
documents produced to the Customs Administration of Serbia for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for
importing the products shall not, ipso facto, cast doubt upon the statements in the certificate.

Article 20

1.
Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out at random, or whenever the
competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to
the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.

In such cases, the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate of origin or the export
2.
licence or a copy thereof to the Ministry for International Economic Relations of Serbia in case of an export licence, or
to the Customs Administration of Serbia, in case of a certificate of origin, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of
form or substance which justify an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be
attached to the certificate or to the licence or their copies. The authorities shall also forward any information that has
been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate.

3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall also apply to subsequent verifications of the declarations of origin provided
for in Article 2 of this Annex.

4. The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be
communicated to the competent authorities of the Community within three months at the latest. The information
communicated shall indicate whether the disputed certificate, licence or declaration applies to the goods actually
exported and whether these goods are eligible for export under the arrangements established by this Agreement. The
information shall also include at the request of the Community, copies of all the documentation necessary to fully
determine the facts, and in particular the true origin of the goods.

5.
Should such verifications reveal systematic irregularities in the use of declarations of origin, the Community may
subject imports of the products in question to Article 2(1) of this Annex. For the purpose of subsequent verification
of certificates of origin, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at
least two years by the issuing authority.

6. Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the
release into free circulation of the products in question.

Article 21

1. Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 20 of this Annex or where information available to the
competent authorities of the Community or of Serbia indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this
Agreement are being circumvented or infringed, the two Parties shall cooperate closely and with the appropriate
urgency in order to prevent any such circumvention or infringement.

2. To this end, the Ministry for International Economic Relations of Serbia in case of an export licence, or the
Customs Administration of Serbia, in case of a certificate of origin, shall, on their own initiative or at the request of
the Community, carry out appropriate inquiries, or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out, concerning operations
which are, or appear to the Community to be,
in circumvention or infringement of this Annex. Serbia shall
communicate the results of these inquiries to the Community, including any other pertinent information enabling the
cause of the circumvention or infringement, including the true origin of the goods to be determined.

3. By agreement between the Parties, officials designated by the Community may be present at the inquiries referred
to in paragraph 2.

4.
In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authorities of the Parties shall
exchange any information considered by either of them to be of use in preventing circumvention or infringement of
the provisions of this Agreement. These exchanges may include information on the production of textile products in
Serbia and on the trade in the type of products covered by this Agreement between Serbia and third countries,
particularly where the Community has reasonable grounds to consider that the products in question may be in transit
across the territory of Serbia prior to their importation into the Community. This information may include at the
request of the Community copies of all available relevant documentation.

5. Where the provisions of this Annex have not been applied correctly, the Community may take the measures set
out in Article 6(3) of this Agreement, or any other appropriate measure.

DECLARATION BY THE COMMUNITY

The Community undertakes to assist Serbia with questions which may arise from the application of the provisions of
this Agreement in the context of Serbia's accession to the WTO.
