JOINT DECLARATIONS AND STATEMENTS BY THE PRESENT CONTRACTING PARTIES AND THE NEW CONTRACTING PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT


          
      




JOINT DECLARATION ON AN EARLY ENTRY INTO FORCE OR PROVISIONAL APPLICATION OF THE AGREEMENT ON THE PARTICIPATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

The Parties stress the importance of an early entry into force or provisional application of the Agreement on the Participation of the Republic of Croatia in the European Economic Area in order to ensure the good functioning of the European Economic Area and to allow for Croatia to benefit from its participation in the European Economic Area.





JOINT DECLARATION ON THE EXPIRY DATE OF THE TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

The Parties confirm that the transitional arrangements from the Treaty of Accession are taken over into the EEA Agreement and will expire on the same date as they would have if the enlargement of the European Union and the EEA had taken place simultaneously on 1 July 2013.





JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE RULES OF ORIGIN AFTER ENTRY INTO FORCE OF THE AGREEMENT ON THE PARTICIPATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA


1.   
Proof of origin properly issued by an EFTA State or the New Contracting Party in the framework of a preferential agreement concluded between the EFTA States and the New Contracting Party or in the framework of unilateral national legislation of an EFTA State or a New Contracting Party shall be considered as being proof of EEA preferential origin, provided that:






(a)


the proof of origin and the transport documents were issued no later than the day before the accession of the New Contracting Party to the European Union;










(b)


the proof of origin is submitted to the customs authorities within the period of four months from the entry into force of the Agreement.




Where goods were declared for importation from an EFTA State or the New Contracting Party in, respectively, the New Contracting Party or an EFTA State prior to the date of accession of the New Contracting Party to the European Union, under preferential arrangements in force between an EFTA State and the New Contracting Party at that time, proof of origin issued retrospectively under those arrangements may also be accepted in the EFTA States or the New Contracting Party provided that it is submitted to the customs authorities within the period of four months from the date of entry into force of the Agreement.


2.   
The EFTA States, on the one hand, and the Republic of Croatia, on the other hand, are authorised to retain the authorisations with which the status of ‘approved exporters’ has been granted in the framework of agreements concluded between the EFTA States, on the one hand, and the Republic of Croatia, on the other hand, provided that the approved exporters apply the EEA rules of origin.
These authorisations shall be replaced by the EFTA States and the Republic of Croatia, no later than one year after the date of entry into force of the Agreement, by new authorisations issued under the conditions laid down in Protocol 4 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.


3.   

Requests for subsequent verification of proof of origin issued under the preferential agreements and arrangements referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall be accepted by the competent authorities of the EFTA States and the New Contracting Party for a period of three years after the issue of the proof of origin concerned and may be made by those authorities for a period of three years after acceptance of the proof of origin.







JOINT DECLARATION ON LIECHTENSTEIN'S SECTORAL ADAPTATION IN THE FIELD OF FREE MOVEMENT OF PERSONS

The Present Contracting Parties and the New Contracting Party,






—


Referring to the sectoral adaptations for Liechtenstein in the field of free movement of persons under Annexes V and VIII to the EEA Agreement as introduced by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 191/1999 and amended by the Agreement on the Participation of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic in the European Economic Area of 14 October 2003,










—


Observing an ongoing high demand from nationals of EU and EFTA States to reside in Liechtenstein, surpassing the net immigration rate set out in the abovementioned sectoral adaptations,










—


Considering that the participation of Croatia in the EEA results in a higher number of nationals having the right of invoking the free movement of persons as enshrined in the EEA Agreement,




Agree to duly take into account this factual situation as well as the unchanged absorption capacity of Liechtenstein when reviewing the sectoral adaptations in Annexes V and VIII to the EEA Agreement.





JOINT STATEMENT ON THE PRIORITY SECTORS MENTIONED IN PROTOCOL 38B

The Present Contracting Parties and the New Contracting Party recall that not all priority sectors as defined in Article 3 of Protocol 38b must be covered in the case of Croatia.





JOINT STATEMENT ON THE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS

The Present Contracting Parties and the New Contracting Party agree that the financial contribution arrangements agreed in the context of EEA enlargement do not constitute a precedent for the period after they expire on 30 April 2014.







OTHER DECLARATIONS BY ONE OR MORE OF THE CONTRACTING PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT
