EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

1.1. 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

The  World  Customs  Organisation  (WCO)  released  its  latest  amendment  to  the 
Harmonised  Commodity  Description  and  Coding  System,  generally  referred  to  as 
"Harmonised System" (HS). This amendment took effect from 1 January 2007. 

The  HS  nomenclature  is  a  goods  classification  system  used  by  more  than  190 
countries, including the European Union and its Member States, as a basis for their 
Customs tariffs and for the collection of international trade statistics. 

The WCO is responsible for the HS and revises the system at regular intervals, every 
five years, to ensure it reflects changes in technology or in patterns of international 
trade. 

The list rules contained in Annex II to the protocol on the definition of the concept of 
'originating  products'  and  methods  of  administrative  co-operation  (the  origin 
protocol) included in the then Community agreements with third countries are based 
on the HS. 

For  the  agreements  in  force,  Annex  II  is  based  on  the  2002  version  of  the  HS.  As 
some of the changes made at the 2007 version had an impact on the list rules, Annex 
II  to  the  origin  protocols  has  been  amended  in  order  to  maintain  the  status  quo  in 
terms of rules of origin, since the revision of the HS is never intended to change the 
rules of origin. 

The  modifications  concern  seven  chapters  of  the  HS,  namely  28  (chemicals),  30 
(pharmaceutical products), 38 (miscellaneous), 65 (hats and other headgear), 84 and 
85 (machinery) and 95 (toys). 

These  amendments  were  discussed  by  the  experts  of  the  Pan-Euro-Med  Working 
Group,  which  is  composed  of  representatives  of  the  European  Commission,  of  the 
Member  States, 
the  EFTA  countries  (Norway,  Iceland,  Liechtenstein  and 
Switzerland),  the  EFTA  secretariat,  Turkey,  the  Faeroe  Islands,  Andorra  and  San 
Marino  and  the  countries  which  participate  in  the  Euro-Mediterranean  partnership, 
based on the Barcelona Declaration adopted in 1995. 

1.2. 

General context 

The 2007 revision of the HS had an impact on the preferential rules of origin. This 
lead to the amendment of the list rules contained in Annex II to the origin protocol of 
the then Community agreements with the following third countries: Iceland, Norway, 
Switzerland, the Faroe Islands, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the 
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority 
of  the  West  Bank  and  the  Gaza  Strip,  Syria,  Tunisia,  Turkey  (for  agricultural 
products and for coal and steel products) and within the European Economic Area.

   EN 

 
Annex  II  is  the  same  in  each  of  the  origin  protocols  to  the  fore-mentioned 
agreements.  The  draft  decisions  to  amend  Annex  II  are  adopted  by  the  relevant 
association council or equivalent foreseen in the various agreements. For this reason, 
there is one Annex II and fourteen draft decisions here attached. 

As  regards  the  Community  agreement  with  Switzerland,  a  decision  of  the  Joint 
Committee amending the origin protocol pursuant to the amendments of the HS 2007 
and  to  the  latest  enlargement  of  the  European  Union  is  currently  being  adopted  by 
written procedure. As in accordance with the Additional Agreement concerning the 
validity  for  the  Principality  of  Liechtenstein  of  the  Agreement  between  the 
Community and Switzerland, this decision will apply likewise to Liechtenstein. 

Apart  from  the  Agreement  on  the  European  Economic  Area,  the  Union  also  has 
bilateral  agreements  with  Norway  and  Iceland  containing  an  origin  protocol, 
including Annex II. As a result, Annex II to these two origin protocols also needs to 
be adjusted. 

1.3. 

Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

The  origin  protocols  to  the  fore-mentioned  Community  agreements  were  last 
amended  in  order  to  extend  the  pan-European  cumulation  of  origin  to  the 
Mediterranean countries. 

1.4. 

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

The  proposed  decisions  are  consistent  with  the  Union  policies  concerning  the 
importation or exportation of goods. 

2. 

CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

2.1. 

Consultation of interested parties 

Interested  parties  were  consulted  in  the  framework  of  the  Pan-Euro-Med  Working 
Group  and  the  final  text  of this proposal is the result of the discussions within this 
Group. 

2.2. 

Collection and use of expertise 

There was no need for external expertise. 

2.3. 

Impact assessment 

There is no need for an impact assessment insofar as the amendments proposed are 
merely technical and do not modify the substance of the current origin protocol.

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

3.1. 

Summary of the proposed action 

Annex  II  to  the  origin  protocol  to  the  fore-mentioned  Community  agreements  with 
third countries, pursuant to the entry into force of the Harmonised System 2007, is 
amended and here entirely reproduced. 

3.2. 

Legal basis 

Article 207(4) first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) of the Treaty on 
the Functioning of the European Union. 

3.3. 

Subsidiarity principle 

The  proposal  falls  under  the  exclusive  competence  of  the  Union.  The  subsidiarity 
principle therefore does not apply. 

3.4. 

Proportionality principle 

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s). 

There is no other option in the present case. Therefore this is the simplest measure 
possible. 

There is no extra financial and administrative burden. 

3.5. 

Choice of instruments 

Proposed instruments: Council decision 

Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s). 

The entry into force of the Harmonised System 2007 implies  an amendment  of the 
origin  protocol.  The  amendment  of  the  list  rules,  like  the  origin  protocol  and  its 
annexes, shall be done by a decision of the association council or equivalent foreseen 
in each agreement. 

4. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

The proposal has no implication for the Union budget. 

5. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

A review, revision or sunset clause is not foreseen.

Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the 
Kingdom of Norway, of the other part, with regard to the amendment of Annex II of

(Text with EEA relevance) 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular 
Article 207(4) first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,  

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one 
part,  and  the  Kingdom  of  Norway1,  of  the  other  part,  concerning  the  definition  of 
'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation contains in Annex II 
a list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials 
in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status. 

The entry into force of the Harmonised System as of 1 January 2007 implies that this 
Protocol  should  be further adjusted, in particular its  Annex  II, which is here entirely 
reproduced. 

It  is  therefore  appropriate,  for  the  proper  functioning  of  the  Agreement  and  with  a 
view  to  facilitating  the  work  of  economic  operators  and  customs  administrations,  to 
amend Annex II of Protocol 3 accordingly. 

These  amendments  should  be  introduced  by  a  decision  of  the  Joint  Committee 
established  by  the  Agreement  between  the  European  Economic  Community  and  the 
Kingdom of Norway. 

The  Union  should  therefore  take  position  in  the  Joint  Committee  as  set  out  in  the 
attached draft Decision.

with regard to amending Annex II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European 
Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway containing the list of working or 
processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the 
product manufactured can obtain originating status 

The Joint Committee, 

Having  regard  to  the  Agreement  between  the  European  Economic  Community,  of  the  one 
part, and the Kingdom of Norway, of the other part, and in particular Article 39 of Protocol 3; 

Whereas:

(3) 

(4) 

Amendments  were  introduced  as  from  1  January  2007  into  the  Nomenclature 
governed by the Convention on the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding 
System (Harmonised System). 

In  view  of  the  number  of  changes  to  be  made  in  Annex  II,  clarity  requires  it  to  be 
replaced in its entirety. 

As the amendments to the Harmonised System were not intended to change the rules 
of origin, Annex II of Protocol 3 maintain the status quo. 

Given that the amendments to Annex II of Protocol 3 do not amount to a change of the 
status quo, Protocol 3 as amended should apply retroactively from 1 January 2007. 

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 

Article 1 

Annex II of Protocol 3 containing the list of working or processing required to be carried out 
on  non-originating  materials  in  order  that  the  product  manufactured  can  obtain  originating 
status is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision. 

Article 2 

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

It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
