1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

1.1. 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

At  present  the  pan-Euro-Mediterranean  cumulation  zone  includes  the  European 
Union,  the  EFTA  States  (Iceland,  Norway,  Switzerland,  Liechtenstein),  the 
participants  in  the  Barcelona  Process  (Algeria,  Egypt,  Israel,  Jordan,  Lebanon, 
Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Palestine) and the Faroe Islands. 

The  pan-Euro-Mediterranean  system  of  cumulation  of  origin  is  made  up  of  a 
multiplicity of agreements, setting out i.a. free trade provisions based on a network 
of identical rules of origin allowing for diagonal cumulation, among the countries of 
the zone. This cumulation zone is bound to grow in the future. 

Since the implementation of the pan-Euro-Mediterranean system of cumulation, the 
difficulties with the management of the current system of individual protocols have 
increased. Any amendment to a protocol applicable between two partner countries of 
the  pan-Euro-Mediterranean  zone  implies  identical  amendments  to  each  and  every 
protocol  applicable  within  the  zone.  The  European  Commission  had  therefore 
launched  the  idea  to  base  the  diagonal  cumulation  of  origin  on  a  single  legal 
instrument  in  the  form  of  a  regional  convention  on  preferential  rules  of  origin, 
hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the  Convention”,  to  which  the  individual  free  trade 
agreements  applicable  between  the  countries  of  the  zone  would  refer.  The  idea  of 
such a convention was already analysed in 2003 but was not taken forward. 

At the Euro-Med Trade Ministerial Conference in Lisbon in October 2007, the idea 
of  a  convention  was  revived  and  Ministers  agreed  to  start  the  drafting  of  a  single 
convention  on  preferential  rules  of  origin  for  the  pan-Euro-Mediterranean  area  in 
order to replace the current network of protocols on rules of origin. To this end, they 
entrusted the technical work required to the Pan-Euro-Med Working Group. 

On the same occasion, Euro-Med Trade Ministers decided to include the participants 
in  the  Stabilization  and  Association  Process  (Albania,  Bosnia  and  Herzegovina, 
Croatia,  the  former  Yugoslav  Republic  of  Macedonia,  Montenegro  and  Serbia,  as 
well  as  Kosovo  under  UNSC  Resolution  1244/99)  into  this  cumulation  zone  and 
entrusted  the  Pan-Euro-Med  Working  Group  to  prepare  the  technical  amendments 
required  to  this  effect.  The  inclusion  of  these  countries  into  the  pan-Euro-
Mediterranean system of cumulation will be done through this Convention. 

On 26 November 2009 the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations 
with the EFTA  States, the participants in the Barcelona Process, the participants in 
the Stabilization and Association Process and the  Faroe Islands on the Convention. 
All negotiating directives were fulfilled by the Commission: 

- the Convention allows for a more effective management of the system of pan-Euro-
Mediterranean  cumulation,  thus  facilitating  the  procedure  for  amendments  to  the 
rules of origin. 

EN 

2 

   EN 

 
- a Joint Committee will be established by the Convention and will be empowered to 
amend its provisions and to decide of any future accession. 

- the Convention allows for existing provisions, which are not common to all future 
contracting parties, to be catered for. 

- the Convention is open for the possible future extension of the geographical scope 
of cumulation to neighbouring countries and territories. 

-  the  provisions  of  the  Convention  may  be  amended  by  unanimity  within  the  Joint 
Committee to better respond to the economic realities. 

In accordance with Article 17(1) of the Treaty on European Union, the Commission 
will  represent  the  Union  in  the  Joint  Committee  established  by  Article  3  of  the 
Convention.  When  the  Joint  Committee  is  called  upon  to  adopt  acts  having  legal 
effects,  in  particular  according  to  Article  4  of  the  Convention,  the  positions  to  be 
adopted on the Union’s behalf will be established in accordance with Article 218(9) 
of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. 

1.2. 

General context 

The Commission took an active part in the process, initiated in 2007, with a view to 
drawing up the draft text of the Convention in the framework of the Pan-Euro-Med 
Working Group. The final draft was discussed and agreed upon by this Group on 29 
October 2009. 

The  text  of  the  Convention  was  endorsed  by  the  Euromed  Trade  Ministers  at  their 
Conference held on 9 December 2009 in Brussels. 

1.3. 

Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

The  Convention  consolidates  all  protocols  on  rules  of  origin  in  force  between 
members of the pan-Euro-Mediterranean system of cumulation of origin.  

The  Convention  integrates  all  protocols  on  rules  of  origin  in  force  between  the 
partners participating in the Stabilisation and Association Process and the countries 
and territories of the pan-Euro-Mediterranean zone. 

1.4. 

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

The proposed decision is consistent with the Union trade policy. 

2.

The  regional  Convention  on  pan-Euro-Mediterranean  preferential  rules  of  origin, 
hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”, aims at replacing the protocols on rules of 
origin currently in force among the countries of the pan-Euro-Mediterranean area. 

The participants in the Stabilisation and Association Process have been included in the 
pan-Euro-Mediterranean system of cumulation of origin through the Convention. 

On  26  November  2009  the  Council  authorised  the  Commission  to  open  negotiations 
with the EFTA States, the participants in the Barcelona Process, the participants in the 
Stabilization and Association Process and the Faroe Islands on the Convention.

the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Lebanon, the Kingdom of Morocco, the 
Syrian  Arab  Republic,  the  Republic  of  Tunisia,  the  PLO  for  the  benefit  of  the  Palestinian

CONSIDERING  the  Pan-Euro-Mediterranean  system  of  cumulation  of  origin  made  up  of  a 
network  of  Free  Trade  Agreements,  providing  for  identical  rules  of  origin  allowing  for 
diagonal cumulation, 

CONSIDERING  the  possible  future  extension  of  the  geographical  scope  of  diagonal 
cumulation to neighbouring countries and territories, 

CONSIDERING  the  difficulties  in  the  management  of  the  current  network  of  bilateral 
protocols on rules of origin among the countries or territories of the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean 
zone,  it  is  desirable  to  transpose  the  existing  bilateral  systems  on  rules  of  origin  into  a 
multilateral  framework,  without  prejudice  to  the  principles  laid  down  in  the  relevant 
agreements or any other related bilateral agreements, 

CONSIDERING that any amendment to a protocol on rules of origin applicable between two 
partner countries of the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean zone implies identical amendments to each 
and every protocol applicable within the zone, 

CONSIDERING that the origin rules will need to be amended in order to better respond to the 
economic reality, 

CONSIDERING the idea to base cumulation of origin on a single legal instrument in the form 
of  a  regional  convention  on  preferential  rules  of  origin,  to  which  the  individual  free  trade 
agreements applicable between the countries of the zone would refer,

CONSIDERING  that  the  following  regional  convention  does  not  lead  overall  to  a  less 
favourable situation than in the previous relation between the free trade partners which apply 
the pan-euro or pan-euro-med cumulation, 

CONSIDERING that the idea of a regional convention on preferential rules of origin for the 
Pan-Euro-Mediterranean zone received the support of the Euro-Med Trade Ministers during 
their meeting in Lisbon on 21 October 2007, 

CONSIDERING that a main objective of a single regional convention is to move towards the 
application  of  identical  rules  of  origin  for  the  purpose  of  cumulation  of  origin  for  goods 
traded between all Contracting Parties,

as originating in the exporting Contracting Party only where the value added there is greater 
than  the  value  of  the  materials  used  originating  in  any  one  of  the  other  Contracting  Parties 
referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2. If this is not so, the product obtained shall be considered as 
originating  in  the  Contracting  Party  which  accounts  for  the  highest  value  of  originating 
materials used in the manufacture in the exporting Contracting Party. 

Products,  originating  in  the  Contracting  Parties  referred  to  in  paragraphs  1  and  2,

Article 5 

Sufficiently worked or processed products 

For  the  purposes  of  Article  2,  products  which  are  not  wholly  obtained  shall  be 
1. 
considered  to  be  sufficiently  worked  or  processed  when  the  conditions  set  out  in  the  list  in 
Annex II are fulfilled. 

EN 

20 

   EN 

 
 
The conditions referred to above indicate 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. 
Notwithstanding  paragraph  1,  non-originating  materials  which,  according  to  the 
conditions set out in the list in Annex II, should not be used in the manufacture of a product 
may nevertheless be used, provided that: 

(a) 

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 

(b) 
materials are not exceeded by virtue 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 6. 

Article 6 

Insufficient working or processing 

1. 
Without  prejudice  to  paragraph  2,  the  following  operations  shall  be  considered  as 
insufficient working or processing to confer the status of originating products, whether or not 
the requirements of Article 5 are satisfied: 

preserving  operations  to  ensure  that  the  products  remain  in  good  condition  during 

(a) 
transport and storage; 

(b) 

breaking-up and assembly of packages; 

(c) 

washing, cleaning; removal of dust, oxide, oil, paint or other coverings; 

(d) 

ironing or pressing of textiles; 

(e) 

simple painting and polishing operations; 

(f) 

husking, partial or total bleaching, polishing, and glazing of cereals and rice;

and all other simple packaging operations; 

affixing or printing marks, labels, logos and other like distinguishing signs on products 

(l) 
or their packaging; 

(m) 

simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds; 

(n)  mixing of sugar with any material;

(o) 
products into parts; 

(p) 

a combination of two or more operations specified in (a) to (n); 

(q) 

slaughter of animals. 

2. 
All operations carried out in the exporting Contracting Party on a given 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 7 

Unit of qualification 

1. 
The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Convention 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  Harmonised  System,  each  product  must  be  taken  individually  when 
applying the provisions of this Convention. 

2. 
Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonised System, packaging is included with 
the  product  for  classification  purposes,  it  shall  be  included  for  the  purposes  of  determining 
origin. 

Article 8 

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 

EN 

22 

   EN 

 
 
 
are not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of  equipment,  machine, 
apparatus or vehicle in question. 

Article 9 

Sets 

Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonised 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 10 

Neutral elements 

In order to determine whether a product is an originating product, it shall not be necessary to 
determine the origin of the following which might be used in its manufacture: 

(a) 

energy and fuel; 

(b) 

plant and equipment; 

(c) 

machines and tools; 

goods which neither enter into the final composition of the product nor are intended to 

(d) 
do so.

TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS 

Article 11 

Principle of territoriality 

1. 
Except as provided for in Article 2(1)(c), Article 3 and paragraph 3 of this Article, the 
conditions  for  acquiring  originating  status  set  out  in  Title  II  must  be  fulfilled  without 
interruption in the exporting Contracting Party. 

2. 
Except  as  provided  for  in  Article  3,  where  originating  goods  exported  from  a 
Contracting  Party  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 

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

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

3. 
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 exporting Contracting Party 
on  materials  exported  from  the  latter  Contracting  Party  and  subsequently  re-imported  there, 
provided: 

(a) 
the  said  materials  are  wholly  obtained  in  the  exporting  Contracting  Party  or  have 
undergone working or processing beyond the operations referred to in Article 6 prior to being 
exported; 

and 

(b) 

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

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

i) 
materials; 

and 

ii) 
the total added value acquired outside the exporting Contracting Party 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. 

4. 
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  exporting  Contracting 
Party. However, 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 

EN 

24 

   EN 

 
 
 
exporting  Contracting  Party,  taken  together  with  the  total  added  value  acquired  outside  this 
Contracting  Party  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' 
5. 
shall be taken to mean all costs arising outside the exporting Contracting Party, including the 
value of the materials incorporated there. 

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products which do not fulfil 
6. 
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 5(2) is applied. 

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products of Chapters 50 to 63 

7. 
of the Harmonised System. 

8. 
Any working or processing of the kind covered by the provisions of this Article and 
done  outside  the  exporting  Contracting  Party  shall  be  done  under  the  outward  processing 
arrangements, or similar arrangements. 

Article 12 

Direct transport 

1. 
The preferential treatment provided for under the relevant Agreement applies only to 
products,  satisfying  the  requirements  of  this  Convention,  which  are  transported  directly 
between  or  through  the  territories  of  the  Contracting  Parties  with  which  cumulation  is 
applicable  in  accordance  with  Article  3.  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 
Contracting Parties acting as exporting and importing parties. 

Evidence  that  the  conditions  set  out  in  paragraph  1  have  been  fulfilled  shall  be 

2. 
supplied to the customs authorities of the importing Contracting Party by the production of: 

a single transport document covering the passage from the exporting Contracting Party 

(a) 
through the country of transit; or 

(b) 

a certificate issued by the customs authorities of the country of transit: 

(i) 

giving an exact description of the products; 

stating the dates of unloading and reloading of the products and, where applicable, the 

(ii) 
names of the ships, or the other means of transport used; 

and

certifying the conditions under which the products remained in the transit country; or 

(c) 

failing these, any substantiating documents. 

Article 13 

Exhibitions 

1. 
Originating  products,  sent  for  exhibition  in  a  country  other  than  those  referred  to  in 
Articles 3 with which cumulation is applicable and sold after the exhibition for importation in 
a  Contracting  Party,  shall  benefit  on  importation  from  the  provisions  of  the  relevant 
Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that: 

an  exporter  has  consigned  these  products  from  a  Contracting  Party  to  the  country  in 

(a) 
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 

(b) 
another Contracting Party; 

the  products  have  been  consigned  during  the  exhibition  or  immediately  thereafter  in 

(c) 
the state in which they were sent for exhibition; 

and 

the  products  have  not,  since  they  were  consigned  for  exhibition,  been  used  for  any 

(d) 
purpose other than demonstration at the exhibition. 

2. 
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  Contracting  Party  in  the 
normal  manner.  The  name  and  address  of  the  exhibition  shall  be  indicated  thereon.  Where 
necessary,  additional  documentary  evidence  of  the  conditions  under  which  they  have  been 
exhibited may be required. 

3. 
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 which the products

Accounting segregation 

Where  considerable  cost  or  material  difficulties  arise  in  keeping  separate  stocks  of 
1. 
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  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  the  'method')  to  be  used  for 
managing such stocks. 

2. 
The 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 had there been physical segregation of the stocks. 

The customs authorities may make the grant of authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 

3. 
subject to any conditions deemed appropriate. 

4. 
The method shall be applied and the application thereof shall be recorded on the basis 
of  the  general  accounting  principles  applicable  in  the  country  where  the  product  was 
manufactured. 

5. 
The beneficiary of the method 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. 

6. 
The  customs  authorities  shall  monitor  the  use  made  of  the  authorisation  and  may 
withdraw it 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 Convention.

Article 30 

Amounts expressed in euro 

1. 
For  the  application  of  the  provisions  of  Article  21(1)(b)  and  Article  26(3)  in  cases 
where products are invoiced in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national currencies 
of the Contracting Parties equivalent to the amounts expressed in euro shall be fixed annually 
by each of the countries concerned. 

2. 
A consignment shall benefit from the provisions of Article 21(1)(b) or Article 26(3) by 
reference to the currency in which the invoice is drawn up, according to the amount fixed by 
the country concerned. 

3. 
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 European Commission by 15 October and shall apply 
from  1  January  the  following  year.  The  European  Commission  shall  notify  all  countries 
concerned of the relevant amounts. 

4. 
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 were to result in a 
decrease in that equivalent value.

The  amounts  expressed  in  euro  shall  be  reviewed  by  the  Joint  Committee  at  the 
request  of  any  Contracting  Party.  When  carrying  out  this  review,  the  Joint  Committee  shall

TITLE VI 

ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CO-OPERATION 

Article 31 

Administrative co-operation 

1. 
The  customs  authorities  of  the  Contracting  Parties  shall  provide  each  other,  through 
the European Commission, with 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, origin declarations and origin 
declarations EUR-MED. 

2. 
In  order  to  ensure  the  proper  application  of  this  Convention,  the  Contracting  Parties 
shall  assist  each  other,  through  the  competent  customs  administrations,  in  checking  the 
authenticity of the movement certificates EUR.1 and EUR-MED, the origin declarations and 
the  origin  declarations  EUR-MED  and  the  correctness  of  the  information  given  in  these 
documents. 

Article 32 

Verification of proofs of origin 

Subsequent  verifications  of  proofs  of  origin  shall  be  carried  out  at  random  or 
1. 
whenever the customs authorities of the importing Contracting Party 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 Convention. 

2. 
For  the  purposes  of  implementing  the  provisions  of  paragraph  1,  the  customs 
authorities of the importing Contracting Party shall return the movement certificate EUR.1 or 
EUR-MED  and  the  invoice,  if  it  has  been  submitted,  the  origin  declaration  or  the  origin 
declaration  EUR-MED,  or  a  copy  of  these  documents,  to  the  customs  authorities  of  the 
exporting  Contracting  Party  giving,  where  appropriate,  the  reasons  for  the  request  for 
verification. 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. 

3. 
The  verification  shall  be  carried  out  by  the  customs  authorities  of  the  exporting 
Contracting Party. 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. 

4. 
If  the  customs  authorities  of  the  importing  Contracting  Party  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. 

The  customs  authorities  requesting  the  verification  shall  be  informed  of  the  results 
5. 
thereof  as  soon  as  possible.  These  results  shall  indicate  clearly  whether  the  documents  are 

EN 

41 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
authentic  and  whether  the  products  concerned  may  be  considered  as  products  originating  in 
one of the Contracting Parties and fulfil the other requirements of this Convention. 

6. 
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  products,  the  requesting 
customs  authorities  shall,  except  in  exceptional  circumstances,  refuse  entitlement  to  the 
preferences. 

Article 33 

Dispute settlement 

Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 32 which cannot be 
settled between the customs authorities requesting a verification and the customs authorities 
responsible  for  carrying  out  this  verification,  they  shall  be  submitted  to  the  bilateral  body 
established  by  the  relevant  agreement.  Where  disputes  other  than  those  related  to  the 
verification procedures of Article 32 arise in relation to the interpretation of this Convention, 
they shall be submitted to the Joint Committee. 

In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of the 
importing Contracting Party shall take place under the legislation of that country. 

Article 34 

Penalties 

Penalties  shall  be  imposed  on  any  person  who  draws  up,  or  causes  to  be  drawn  up,  a 
document  which  contains  incorrect  information  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  a  preferential 
treatment for products. 

Article 35 

Free zones 

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  take  all  necessary  steps  to  ensure  that  products  traded 
1. 
under cover of a proof of origin, which in the course of transport use a free 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. 

2. 
By  way  of  derogation  from  paragraph  1,  when  products  originating  in  a  Contracting 
Party 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  request,  if  the  treatment  or  processing  undergone  complies  with  the 
provisions of this Convention.

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 5 of Appendix I to the Convention. 

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  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  5  of  Appendix  I  to  the  Convention,  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  European  Union  from  a  non-originating  ingot,  it  has 
already  acquired  originating  status  by  virtue  of  the  rule  for  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 European Union. The 
value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of 
the non-originating materials used. 

EN 

43 

   EN 

 
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  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 

EN 

44 

   EN 

 
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 0511,  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). 

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, 

coarse animal hair,

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. 

EN 

46 

   EN 

 
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 
5.3. 
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 
5.4. 
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. 

EN 

47 

   EN 

 
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,

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;

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. 

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.

Supplier's declaration 

1. 
When  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  is  issued,  or  an  origin  declaration  is  made 
out,  in  the  European  Union  or  Algeria  for  originating  products,  in  the  manufacture  of 
which goods coming from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or the European Union which have 
undergone working or processing in these countries without having obtained preferential 
originating  status,  have  been  used,  account  shall  be  taken  of  the  supplier's  declaration 
given for these goods in accordance with this Article. 

The supplier's declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall serve as evidence of the 
2. 
working  or  processing  undergone  in  Algeria,  Morocco,  Tunisia  or  the  European  Union 
by  the  goods  concerned  for  the  purpose  of  determining  whether  the  products  in  the 
manufacture of which these goods are used, may be considered as products originating in 
the  European  Union  or  Algeria  and  fulfil  the  other  requirements  of  Appendix  I  to  this 
Convention. 

A separate supplier's declaration shall, except in cases provided in paragraph 4, be 
3. 
made out by the supplier for each consignment of goods in the form prescribed in Annex 
A on a sheet of paper annexed to the invoice, the delivery note or any other commercial 
document  describing  the  goods  concerned  in  sufficient  detail  to  enable  them  to  be 
identified. 

4. 
Where  a  supplier  regularly  supplies  a  particular  customer  with  goods  for  which 
the  working  or  processing  undergone  in  Algeria,  Morocco,  Tunisia  or  the  European 
Union is expected to remain constant for considerable periods of time, he may provide a 
single  supplier's  declaration  to  cover  subsequent  consignments  of  those  goods, 
hereinafter referred to as a 'long-term supplier's declaration'. 

A long-term supplier's declaration may normally be valid for a period of up to one year 
from  the  date  of  making  out  the  declaration.  The  customs  authorities  of  the  country 
where  the  declaration  is  made  out  lay  down  the  conditions  under  which  longer  periods 
may be used. 

The  long-term  supplier's  declaration  shall  be  made  out  by  the  supplier  in  the  form 
prescribed  in  Annex  B  and  shall  describe  the  goods  concerned  in  sufficient  detail  to 
enable them to be identified. It shall be provided to the customer concerned before he is 
supplied with the first consignment of goods covered by this declaration or together with 
his first consignment. 

The  supplier  shall  inform  his  customer  immediately  if  the  long-term  supplier's 
declaration is no longer applicable to the goods supplied. 

The  supplier's  declaration  referred  to  in  paragraphs  3  and  4  shall  be  typed  or 
5. 
printed using one of the languages in which the Agreement is drawn up, in accordance 
with the provisions of the national law of the country where it is made out, and shall bear

handwritten; in such a case, it shall be written in ink in printed characters. 

6. 
The supplier making out a declaration must be prepared to submit at any time, at 
the request of the customs authorities of the country where the declaration is made out,

Appendix I and Article 5 (6) of this Annex used for the purpose of proving that products 
covered by a movement certificate EUR.1 or an origin declaration may be considered as

requirements of Appendix I to this Convention.

documents concerning goods covered by that declaration sent to the customer concerned, 
as  well  as  the  documents  referred  to  in  Article  5  (6)  of  this  Annex.  This  period  shall 
begin from the date of expiry of validity of the long-term supplier's declaration. 

Article 8 

Administrative co-operation 

In order to ensure the proper application of this Annex, the European Union and Algeria 
shall  assist  each  other,  through  the  competent  customs  authorities,  in  checking  the 
authenticity of the movement certificates EUR.1, the origin declarations or the supplier's 
declarations and the correctness of the information given in these documents. 

Article 9 

Verification of supplier's declarations 

Subsequent  verifications  of  supplier's  declarations  or  long-term  supplier's 
1. 
declarations  may  be  carried  out  at  random  or  whenever  the  customs  authorities  of  the 
country  where  such  declarations  have  been  taken  into  account  to  issue  a  movement 
certificate EUR.1 or to make out an origin declaration, have reasonable doubts as to the 
authenticity  of  the  document  or  the  correctness  of  the  information  given  in  this

declaration was made out, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of substance or form of 
the request for verification. 

They shall forward, in support of the request for subsequent verification, any documents 
and  information  that  have  been  obtained  suggesting  that  the  information  given  in  the 
supplier's declaration is incorrect. 

3. 
The  verification  shall  be  carried  out  by  the  customs  authorities  of  the  country 
where the supplier's declaration was made out. For this purpose, they shall have the right

other check which they consider appropriate. 

The  customs  authorities  requesting  the  verification  shall  be  informed  of  the 
4. 
results  thereof  as  soon  as  possible.  These  results  shall  indicate  clearly  whether  the 
information given in the supplier's declaration is correct and make it possible for them to 
determine  whether  and  to  what  extent  this  supplier's  declaration  could  be  taken  into 
account  for  issuing  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  or  for  making  out  an  origin 
declaration. 

Article 10 

Sanctions 

Penalties  shall  be  imposed  on  any  person  who  draws  up,  or  causes  to  be  drawn  up,  a 
document  which  contains  incorrect  information  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  a 
preferential treatment for products. 

Article 11 

Free zones 

The  European  Union  and  Algeria  shall  take  all  necessary  steps  to  ensure  that 
1. 
products traded under cover of a proof of origin, which in the course of transport use a 
free 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. 

2. 
By  way  of  derogation  from  paragraph  1,  when  products  originating  in  the 
European Union or Algeria 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  at  the  exporter's  request,  if  the  treatment  or  processing

Supplier's declaration 

1. 
When  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  is  issued,  or  an  origin  declaration  is  made 
out,  in  the  European  Union  or  Tunisia  for  originating  products,  in  the  manufacture  of 
which goods coming from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or the European Union which have 
undergone working or processing in these countries without having obtained preferential 
originating  status,  have  been  used,  account  shall  be  taken  of  the  supplier's  declaration 
given for these goods in accordance with this Article. 

The supplier's declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall serve as evidence of the 
2. 
working  or  processing  undergone  in  Algeria,  Morocco,  Tunisia  or  the  European  Union 
by  the  goods  concerned  for  the  purpose  of  determining  whether  the  products  in  the

the  European  Union  or  Tunisia  and  fulfil  the  other  requirements  of  Appendix  I  to  this 
Convention. 

A separate supplier's declaration shall, except in cases provided in paragraph 4, be 
3.

the  working  or  processing  undergone  in  Algeria,  Morocco,  Tunisia  or  the  European 
Union is expected to remain constant for considerable periods of time, he may provide a 
single  supplier's  declaration  to  cover  subsequent  consignments  of  those  goods, 
hereinafter referred to as a 'long-term supplier's declaration'. 

A long-term supplier's declaration may normally be valid for a period of up to one year 
from  the  date  of  making  out  the  declaration.  The  customs  authorities  of  the  country 
where  the  declaration  is  made  out  lay  down  the  conditions  under  which  longer  periods 
may be used.

prescribed  in  Annex  B  and  shall  describe  the  goods  concerned  in  sufficient  detail  to 
enable them to be identified. It shall be provided to the customer concerned before he is 
supplied with the first consignment of goods covered by this declaration or together with 
his first consignment. 

The  supplier  shall  inform  his  customer  immediately  if  the  long-term  supplier's 
declaration is no longer applicable to the goods supplied.

5. 
printed using one of the languages in which the Agreement is drawn up, in accordance 
with the provisions of the national law of the country where it is made out, and shall bear 
the  original  signature  of  the  supplier  in  manuscript.  The  declaration  may  also  be 
handwritten; in such a case, it shall be written in ink in printed characters.

Appendix I and Article 5 (6) of this Annex used for the purpose of proving that products 
covered by a movement certificate EUR.1 or an origin declaration may be considered as

Article 9 

Verification of supplier's declarations 

Subsequent  verifications  of  supplier's  declarations  or  long-term  supplier's

other check which they consider appropriate. 

The  customs  authorities  requesting  the  verification  shall  be  informed  of  the 
4. 
results  thereof  as  soon  as  possible.  These  results  shall  indicate  clearly  whether  the 
information given in the supplier's declaration is correct and make it possible for them to 
determine  whether  and  to  what  extent  this  supplier's  declaration  could  be  taken  into 
account  for  issuing  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  or  for  making  out  an  origin 
declaration.

SUPPLIER’S DECLARATION 

for goods which have undergone working or processing in the European Union, Algeria, 
Morocco or Tunisia without having obtained preferential originating status 

I, the undersigned, supplier of the goods covered by the annexed document, declare that: 

1. The following materials which do not originate in the European Union, Algeria, Morocco 
or  Tunisia  have  been  used  in  the  European  Union,  Algeria,  Morocco  or  Tunisia  to  produce 
these goods:

(Place and date) 

(Address  and  signature  of  the  supplier;  in  addition  the  name  of 
the person signing the declaration has to be indicated in clear script) 

(1) When the invoice, delivery note or other commercial document to which the declaration is annexed relates to different kinds of goods, or to 
goods which do not incorporate non-originating materials to the same extent, the supplier must clearly differentiate them. 

Example: 

The document relates to different models of electric motor of heading 8501 to be used in the manufacture of washing machines of heading 
8450. The nature and value of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of these motors differ from one model to another. The 
models must therefore be differentiated in the first column and the indications in the other columns must be provided separately for each of 
the  models  to  make  it  possible  for  the  manufacturer  of  washing  machines  to  make  a  correct  assessment  of  the  originating  status  of  his 
products depending on which model of electrical motor he uses. 

(2) The indications requested in these columns should only be given if they are necessary. 

Examples: 

The rule for garments of ex Chapter says that non-originating yarn may be used. If a manufacturer of such garments in Algeria uses fabric 
imported from the European Union which has been obtained there by weaving non-originating yarn, it is sufficient for the European Union 
supplier to describe in his declaration the non-originating material used as yarn, without it being necessary to indicate the heading and value 
of such yarn. 

A producer of iron of heading 7217 who has produced it from non-originating iron bars should indicate in the second column 'bars of iron'. 
Where this wire is to be used in the production of a machine, for which the rule contains a limitation for all non-originating materials used to 
a certain percentage value, it is necessary to indicate in the third column the value of non-originating bars.

(2) When the invoice, delivery note or other commercial document to which the declaration is annexed relates to different kinds of goods, or to 
goods which do not incorporate non-originating materials to the same extent, the supplier must clearly differentiate them. 

Example: 

The document relates to different models of electric motor of heading 8501 to be used in the manufacture of washing machines of heading 
8450. The nature and value of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of these motors differ from one model to another. The 
models must therefore be differentiated in the first column and the indications in the other columns must be provided separately for each of 
the  models  to  make  it  possible  for  the  manufacturer  of  washing  machines  to  make  a  correct  assessment  of  the  originating  status  of  his 
products depending on which model of electrical motor he uses. 

(3) The indications requested in these columns should only be given if they are necessary. 

Examples: 

The rule for garments of ex Chapter says that non-originating yarn may be used. If a manufacturer of such garments in Algeria uses fabric 
imported from the European Union which has been obtained there by weaving non-originating yarn, it is sufficient for the European Union 
supplier to describe in his declaration the non-originating material used as yarn, without it being necessary to indicate the heading and value 
of such yarn. 

A producer of iron of heading 7217 who has produced it from non-originating iron bars should indicate in the second column 'bars of iron'. 
Where this wire is to be used in the production of a machine, for which the rule contains a limitation for all non-originating materials used to 
a certain percentage value, it is necessary to indicate in the third column the value of non-originating bars. 

(4) 'Value of materials' means the customs value at the time of importation of the non-originating materials used, or, if this is not known and 
cannot  be  ascertained,  the  first  ascertainable  price  paid  for  the  materials  in  the  European  Union,  Algeria,  Morocco  or  Tunisia.  The  exact 
value for each non-originating material used be given per unit of the goods specified in the first column. 

(5) ) 'Total added value' shall mean all costs accumulated outside the European Union, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia, including the value of all 
materials added there. The exact total added value acquired outside the European Union, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia must be given per unit 
of the goods specified in the first column. 

(6) Insert dates. The period of validity of the long term supplier's declaration should not normally exceed 12 months, subject to the conditions 
laid down by the customs authorities of the country where the long term supplier's declaration is made out.
