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.

DECISION OF THE EU-ISRAEL ASSOCIATION COUNCIL 

amending Protocol 4 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement, concerning the definition 
of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative co-operation 

THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL, 

Having regard to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the 
European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of 
the other part1, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, signed in Brussels on 20 November 
1995, and in particular Article 38 of Protocol 4 thereof; 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

(5) 

(6) 

(7) 

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

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  Faeroe  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; 

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  Principality  of  Andorra  and  the  Republic  of  San 
Marino 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  4  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 

2. 

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. 

3. 

OBJECTIVE 

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

4. 

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.

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)  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; 

(b)  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. 

2. 

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.

3. 

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 Israel. 

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

(b) 

they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them 
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 
Israel on materials exported from the Community or from Israel and subsequently re-
imported there, provided: 

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

(a) 

and 

(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 

(ii) 

the  total  added  value  acquired  outside  the  Community  or  Israel  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.

1. 

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 Israel. 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 Israel 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  Israel,  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  Israel  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  Israel  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 Israel. 

2. 

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) 

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:

country; or 

(c) 

failing these, any substantiating documents.

Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other than those referred to in 
Articles 3 and 4 with which cumulation is applicable and sold after the exhibition for 
importation  in  the  Community  or  in  Israel  shall  benefit  on  importation  from  the 
provisions of the Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs 
authorities that: 

a) 

(b) 

(c) 

and 

(d) 

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

the  products  have  been  sold  or  otherwise  disposed  of  by  that  exporter  to  a 
person in the Community or in Israel; 

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. 
Where  necessary,  additional  documentary  evidence  of  the  conditions  under  which 
they have been exhibited may be required. 

Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhibition, fair 
or  similar  public  show  or  display  which  is  not  organised  for  private  purposes  in 
shops  or  business  premises  with  a  view  to  the  sale  of  foreign  products,  and  during

5. 

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

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.

movement certificates EUR.1 or EUR-MED for the purpose of sending all or some of these 
products elsewhere within the Community or Israel. The replacement movement certificate(s) 
EUR.1 or EUR-MED shall be issued by the customs office under whose control the products

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.

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.

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 
Protocol. 

An invoice declaration or an invoice declaration EUR-MED shall be made out by the 
exporter by typing, stamping or printing on the invoice, the delivery note or another 
commercial  document,  the  declaration,  the  texts  of  which  appear  in  Annexes  IV  a 
and  b,  using  one  of  the  linguistic  versions set out in that Annex and in  accordance 
with the provisions of the domestic law of the exporting country. If the declaration is 
handwritten, it shall be written in ink in printed characters. 

Invoice  declarations  and  invoice  declarations  EUR-MED  shall  bear  the  original 
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.

The  customs  authorities  of  the  exporting  country  may  authorise  any  exporter, 
hereinafter  referred  to  as  'approved  exporter',  who  makes  frequent  shipments  of 
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. 

Article 25 

Submission of proof of origin 

Proofs  of  origin  shall  be  submitted  to  the  customs  authorities  of  the  importing  country  in 
accordance with the procedures applicable in that country. The said authorities may require a

by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required 
for the implementation of the Agreement. 

Article 26 

Importation by instalments 

Where,  at  the  request  of  the  importer  and  on  the  conditions  laid  down  by  the  customs 
authorities  of  the  importing  country,  dismantled  or  non-assembled  products  within  the 
meaning  of  General  Rule  2(a)  of  the  Harmonized  System  falling  within  Sections  XVI  and 
XVII or headings 7308 and 9406 of the Harmonized System are imported by instalments, a 
single  proof  of  origin  for  such  products  shall  be  submitted  to  the  customs  authorities  upon 
importation of the first instalment.

Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming 
part of travellers' personal luggage shall be admitted as originating products without 
requiring  the  submission  of  a  proof  of  origin,  provided  that  such  products  are  not 
imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of this 
Protocol and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In the 
case  of  products  sent  by  post,  this  declaration  can  be  made  on  the  customs 
declaration CN22/CN23 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document. 

Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of 
the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way 
of  trade  if  it  is  evident  from  the  nature  and  quantity  of  the  products  that  no 
commercial purpose is in view. 

Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed EUR 500 in the case 
of  small  packages  or  EUR  1,200  in  the  case  of  products  forming  part  of  travellers' 
personal luggage.

origin  and  those  made  in  the  documents  submitted  to  the  customs  office  for  the 
purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto 
render  the  proof  of  origin  null  and  void  if  it  is  duly  established  that  this  document 
does correspond to the products submitted. 

Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should not cause this

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  Israel  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 Association Committee at 
the  request  of  the  Community  or  of  Israel.  When  carrying  out  this  review,  the 
Association 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.

specimen  impressions  of  stamps  used  in  their  customs  offices  for  the  issue  of 
movement certificates EUR.1 and EUR-MED, and with the addresses of the customs 
authorities  responsible  for  verifying  those  certificates,  invoice  declarations  and 
invoice declarations EUR-MED. 

In order to ensure the proper application of this Protocol, the Community and Israel 
shall assist each other, through the competent customs administrations, in checking 
the  authenticity  of  the  movement  certificates  EUR.1  and  EUR-MED,  the  invoice 
declarations  and  the  invoice  declarations  EUR-MED  and  the  correctness  of  the 
information given in these documents. 

Article 33 

Verification of proofs of origin 

Subsequent  verifications  of  proofs  of  origin  shall  be  carried  out  at  random  or 
whenever the customs authorities of the importing country have reasonable doubts as 
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.

products  originating  in  the  Community,  in  Israel  or  in  one  of  the  other  countries 
referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol. 

If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months of the date of the 
verification  request  or  if  the  reply  does  not  contain  sufficient  information  to 
determine  the  authenticity  of  the  document  in  question  or  the  real  origin  of  the

interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be submitted to the Association Committee. 

In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of the 
importing country shall be under the legislation of the said country. 

Article 35 

Penalties 

Penalties  shall  be  imposed  on  any  person  who  draws  up,  or  causes  to  be  drawn  up,  a

zone situated in their territory, are not substituted by other goods and do not undergo 
handling other than normal operations designed to prevent their deterioration. 

By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products 
originating in the Community or in Israel are imported into a free zone under cover 
of a proof of origin and undergo treatment or processing, the authorities  concerned 
shall  issue  a  new  movement  certificate  EUR.1  or  EUR-MED  at  the  exporter's

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  heading ex 7224  in  the 

EN 

41 

   EN 

 
 
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 

EN 

42

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. 

4.2. 

4.3. 

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. 

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. 

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:

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. 

5.3. 

5.4. 

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. 

EN 

45 

   EN 

 
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: 

7.1. 

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. 

7.2. 

For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the "specific processes" are the 
following: 

(a) 

vacuum-distillation; 

(b) 

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation-process; 

(c) 

cracking; 

(d) 

reforming; 

EN

(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; 

(j) 

(k) 

(l) 

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); 

in  respect  of  products  of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other 
than filtering; 

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; 

(m) 

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; 

(n) 

(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; 

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. 

7.3. 

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.
