Where the working or processing carried out in one of the Parties does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 5(1) of this Protocol, the product obtained shall be considered as originating in that Party only where the value added there is greater than the value of the materials used in any one of these countries or territories.

Article 11
Sets of assorted articles
Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonized System, shall be regarded as originating when all component products are originating.

1.   Where considerable cost or material difficulties arise in keeping separate stocks of originating and non‐originating fungible materials, 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 shall also apply to originating and non‐originating raw sugar not containing added flavouring or colouring matter and intended for refining of subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13 and 1701.14 of the Harmonized System, which is physically combined or mixed in Ghana or the European Union before being exported to the European Union and to Ghana respectively.


3.   The method shall ensure that, at any time, the number of products obtained which could be considered to originate in Ghana or the European Union is the same as would have been obtained if the stocks had been physically separated.


4.   The customs authorities may make the grant of authorisation referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article subject to any conditions deemed appropriate.


5.   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.


6.   The beneficiary of the method may issue 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.


7.   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 Protocol.


8.   For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, the terms “fungible materials” or “fungible products” shall mean materials or products which are of the same kind and commercial quality, with the same technical and physical characteristics, and which cannot be distinguished from one another in order to establish their origin.

5.   Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Article shall not apply to products which can be considered sufficiently worked or processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article 4(4) of this Protocol is applied.

5.   The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the Committee at the request of the European Union or Ghana. When carrying out that review, the 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.

2.   In order to facilitate the examination by the Committee of requests for derogation, when making the request Ghana shall, by means of the form given in Annex VII to this Protocol, furnish in support of its request the fullest possible information covering in particular the following points:






(a)


description of the finished product;










(b)


nature and quantity of materials originating in a third country;










(c)


nature and quantity of materials originating in Ghana or the States or territories mentioned in Article 7 of this Protocol, or of materials that have been processed there;










(d)


manufacturing processes;










(e)


added value;










(f)


number of employees in the enterprise concerned;










(g)


anticipated volume of exports to the European Union;










(h)


other possible sources of supply for raw materials;










(i)


reasons for the duration requested in the light of efforts made to find new sources of supply;










(j)


other observations.




The same rules shall apply to any request for extension of derogation.
The Committee may modify the form.


3.   The examination of requests shall in particular take into account:






(a)


the level of development or the geographical situation of Ghana;










(b)


cases where the application of the existing rules of origin would significantly affect the ability of an existing industry in Ghana to continue its exports to the European Union, with particular reference to cases where this could lead to cessation of its activities;










(c)


specific cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that significant investment in an industry could be deterred by the rules of origin and where a derogation favouring the realisation of an investment programme would enable these rules to be satisfied by stages.






4.   In every case, an examination shall be made to ascertain whether the rules relating to cumulation of origin do not provide a solution to the problem.


5.   In the examination of requests, special account shall be taken, on a case by case basis, of the possibility of conferring originating status on products which include in their composition materials originating in neighbouring developing countries, least‐developed countries or developing countries with which Ghana has special relations, provided that administrative cooperation can be established.


6.   The Committee shall take steps necessary to ensure that a decision is reached as soon as possible and in any case not later than seventy‐five (75) working days after the request is received by the European Union Co‐chairman of the Committee. If the European Union does not inform Ghana of its position on the request within this period, the request shall be deemed to have been accepted.








7.








(a)


Derogations shall be valid for a period, generally of five (5) years, to be determined by the Committee.




(b)


The derogation decision may provide for renewals without a new decision of the Committee being necessary, provided that Ghana submits, three (3) months before the end of each period, proof that it is still unable to meet the conditions of this Protocol which have been derogated from.
If any objection is made to the extension, the Committee shall examine it as soon as possible and decide whether to prolong the derogation. The Committee shall proceed as provided for in paragraph 6. All necessary measures shall be taken to avoid interruptions in the application of the derogation.




(c)


In the periods referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b), the Committee may review the terms for implementing the derogation should a significant change be found to have taken place in the substantive factors governing the decision to grant the derogation. On conclusion of its review the Committee may decide to amend the terms of its decision as regards the scope of derogation or any other condition previously laid down.










8.   Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 to 7 of this Article, a derogation concerning canned tuna and tuna loins of HS 16.04 shall only be granted on the first year of entry into force of the Protocol, within an annual quota non renewable of 1 000 tonnes for canned tuna and of 200 tonnes for tuna loins.

ANNEX I TO PROTOCOL No. 1

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II TO THE PROTOCOL

Note 1
The list in Annex II to this Protocol defines the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 4 of this Protocol.
Note 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 described in column 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.










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.










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 has to be applied.




Note 3






1.


The provisions of Article 4 of this Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the European Union or in Ghana.
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 per cent 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.










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.


Without prejudice to Note 3.2 where a rule states that “materials of any heading” may be used, materials of the same heading as the product may also 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 …” means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a description other than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.










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.










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 6.3 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 produced 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 of the Harmonized System 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.










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






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.










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.










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 of the Harmonized System, which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns.










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






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 per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used (see also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below).










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,










—


fine animal hair,










—


horsehair,










—


cotton,










—


paper‐making materials and paper,










—


flax,










—


true hemp,










—


jute and other textile bast fibres,










—


sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,










—


coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,










—


synthetic man‐made filaments,










—


artificial man‐made filaments,










—


current‐conducting filaments,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polypropylene,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polyester,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polyamide,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polyimide,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide,










—


synthetic man‐made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride,










—


other synthetic man‐made staple fibres,










—


artificial man‐made staple fibres of viscose,










—


other artificial man‐made staple fibres,










—


yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped,










—


yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped,










—


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 that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 per cent 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 per cent 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 only a 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.










3.


In the case of products incorporating “yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped” this tolerance is 20 per cent in respect of the yarn.










4.


In the case of products incorporating a “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 an adhesive between two layers of plastic film”, this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip.




Note 6






1.


In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this Introductory Note, textile trimmings and accessories which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made‐up products concerned may be used provided that their weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the total weight of all the textile materials incorporated.
Textile trimmings and accessories are those classified in Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System. Linings and interlinings are not to be regarded as trimmings or accessories.










2.


Any non‐textile trimmings and accessories or other materials used which contain textiles do not have to satisfy the conditions set out in column 3 even though they fall outside the scope of Note 3.5.










3.


In accordance with Note 3.5, any non‐originating non‐textile trimmings and accessories or other products which do not contain any textiles may, anyway, be used freely where they cannot be made from the materials listed in column 3.
For example, (1) if a rule in the list says that for a particular textile item, such as a blouse, yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because they cannot be made from textile materials.










4.


Where a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and accessories must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non‐originating materials incorporated.




Note 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:

(d)


reforming;










(e)


extraction by means of selective solvents;










(f)


the process comprising all 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)

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 per cent of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;










(n)


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.














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.






(1)  This example is given for the purpose of explanation only. It is not legally binding.
