Proposal for a

**DECISION OF THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMISSION**

**and their Member** **States,** **of the one part, and the Republic of Slovenia, of the other**

**part**

**(.../.../ECSC,** **EC,** Euratom)

**EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM**

1. The'attached proposal for a Council and Commission Decision constitutes the legal
instrument for the conclusion of a Europe Agreement between the European
Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and with Slovenia, of the other
part.

2. Slovenia's, relations with the European Union are covered by the Cooperation
Agreement which entered into force in September 1993

Following the entry into force of the Cooperation Agreement and in response to the
demand of Slovenia, the Union's Foreign Ministers gave the Commission in
September 1993 the go-ahead to start talks with the Slovenian authorities aimed at
exploring the scope of such an agreement. The negotiating directives were adopted
by the Council on 6 March 1995 and the negotiations were launched on 15 March
1995. The Agreement was initialed in Brussels on 15.6.1995, after one round of
negotiations.

3. The Agreement is preferential agreement, designed to establish a close, long-term
association between, of the one part, the European Community, the European Atomic
Energy Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and their Member
States and Slovenia, of the other.

This Agreement will replace the Cooperation Agreement between the EEC and
Slovenia, which entered into force on September 1,1993.

The Agreement will be concluded for an indeterminate duration.

As far as trade and trade-related matters are concerned, the Agreement provides for a
free trade zone, after a transitional period of 6 years.

On the remaining matters, the Agreement largely follows the pattern of other Europe
Agreements.

The Agreement provides for a political dialogue between the European Union and
Slovenia within the multilateral framework established with the associated countries
of Central Europe and within the Association Council.

The Agreement includes similar provisions with the other Europe Agreements on
establishment, supply of services, on movement of capital, on economic, cultural,
financial cooperation, and on cooperation on the prevention of illegal activities.

The Agreement includes special provisions in the field of transport, movement of
workers (joint declaration) and a new title relating to the Osimo Agreements and
economic cooperation between Italy and Slovenia

In the transport sector, the Europe Agreement maintains the existing Transport
Agreement between the EEC and Slovenia which covers land transport. Regarding
other transport modes, the Europe Agreement includes similar provisions to the ones
foreseen in other Europe agreements.

4. The procedures for the conclusion of the Agreement are different for the three
European Communities (European Community, European Atomic Energy Community
and European Coal and Steel Community):

- the Council concludes the Agreement on behalf of the European Community, after
having received the assent of the European Parliament, by virtue of Article 238 of the
Treaty;

- the Council approves the Agreement on behalf of the European Atomic Energy
Community by virtue of the second subparagraph of Article 101 of the EURATOM
Treaty and the Agreement is then concluded by the Commission;

- the Commission concludes the Agreement on behalf of the European Coal and Steel
Community, by virtue of Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, with the unanimous assent of
the Council and following consultation of the Consultative Committee.

The Commission, having proceeded to the initialing of the proposed agreement, asks
the Council to approve the results of the negotiations and to engage the procedure
aimed to its signature.

Moreover, the Commission proposes, in line with the solution which has been
followed in the case of the conclusion of the other Europe Agreements, to conclude
after signature the Agreement by the means of the adoption of the attached draft
decision of the Council and the Commission.

Besides ratification by all Member States is a prerequisite for the entry into force of
the Agreement.

COMMON PROVISIONS

ARTICLE 7

1. The following shall be incompatible with the proper functioning of the
Agreement insofar as they may affect trade between the Community and
Slovenia:

i. all cooperation or concentration agreements between undertakings,
decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices between
undertakings which have as their object or effect the prevention,
restriction or distortion of competition;
ii. abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position in the territories
of the Community or of Slovenia as a whole or in a substantial part
thereof;
iii. state aid of any kind, except in instances in which derogations are allowed
under the terms of the ECSC Treaty.

_**LS**_ _**t;**_ **,**

**V**

-fog

2. Any practice contrary to the provisions of this Article shall be assessed on the
basis of criteria arising from the application of the rules contained in Articles 65
and _66_ of the ECSC Treaty and Article 85 of the EC Treaty and of the rules on
s,tate aid, including secondary legislation.

3. Within three years of the Agreement's entry into force, the Association Council
shall adopt the necessary rules for the implementation of paragraphs 1 and 2.
4. The Parties shall recognize that as a derogation from the provisions of
paragraph l(iii) Slovenia may exceptionally, for the first five years following the
Agreement's entry into force, grant state aid for restructuring purposes in
connection with ECSC steel products, provided that:

     the aid helps the recipient firms to achieve viability under normal market
conditions by the end of the restructuring period;

~
the amount and degree of aid provided are limited to what is strictly
necessary to restore viability and are progressively reduced;

     the restructuring programme is linked to a global rationalization and
capacity-reduction plan for Slovenia.

5. Each Party shall ensure transparency with regard to state aid by conducting a full
and continuous exchange of information with the other Party on the amount,
degree and aim of the aid and by including in that information a detailed
restructuring plan.

6. If the Community or Slovenia consider that a particular practice is incompatible
with the terms of paragraph 1, as amended by paragraph 4, and:

it is not suitably dealt with by the implementing rules referred to in
paragraph 3, or
no such rules exist, and the practice is causing or threatening to cause
harm to the interests of the other Party or material injury to its domestic
industry,
the injured Party may take* appropriate measures if consultations lasting a
maximum of thirty working days fail to find a solution. Such consultations must
be held within thirty days of being officially requested.

In the case of practices which are incompatible with the terms of paragraph l(iii),
the appropriate measures in question may be implemented only in the manner and
under the conditions laid down by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
(GATT) or in accordance with any other appropriate instrument applicable
between the Parties and negotiated under GATT auspices.

ARTICLE 8

The provisions of Articles 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the Agreement shall apply to trade in
ECSC products between the Parties.

ARTICLE 9

The Parties agree that one of the special bodies established by the Association Council
shall be a contact group responsible for discussing the implementation of this Protocol.

PROTOCOL 3

On trade between Slovenia and the Community in processed agricultural products.

Article 1

1. The Community and Slovenia will apply to processed agricultural products the
duties listed in Annex 1 and Annex II respectively in accordance with the conditions
mentioned therein.

2. The Association Council will decide on:

- the extension of the list of processed agricultural products under the present protocol

- the amendment of the duties mentioned in the Annexes

- the increase or abolition of tariff quotas

3. The Association Council may replace the duties established by the present
Protocol by a regime established on the basis of the respective market prices of the
Community and Slovenia of the agricultural products actually used in the manufacture of
processed agricultural products subject to the present Protocol. It will establish the list of
goods subject to these amounts and as a consequence, the list of basic products; to this
end, it will decide the general rules of application.

Article 2

The duties applied conforming to Article 1 may be reduced by decision of the Association
Council:

- when in trade between the Community and Slovenia the duties applied to the basic

agricultural products are reduced, or

- in response to reductions resulting from mutual concessions relating to processed

agricultural products.

The reductions provided for under the first indent will be calculated on the part of the
duty designated as the agricultural component which shall correspond to the agricultural
products actually used in the manufacture of the processed agricultural products in
question and deducted from the duties applied to these basic agricultural products.

_**12.**_

Article 3

The Community and Slovenia will inform each other of the administrative arrangements
adopted for the products covered by this Protocol.

These arrangements should ensure equal treatment for all interested parties and should be
as simple and flexible as possible.

**TITLE II**

**DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF "ORIGINATING PRODUCTS"**

_Article 2_

**Origin criteria**

For the purpose of implementing this Agreement and without prejudice to the provisions of
Article 3 of this Protocol, the following products shall be considered as

1. products originating in the Community

a) products wholly obtained in the Community, within the meaning of Article 4 of
this Protocol;

b) products obtained in the Community which contain materials not wholly obtained
there, provided that the said materials have undergone sufficient working and
processing in the Community within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol;

2. products originating in Slovenia

a) products wholly obtained in Slovenia within the meaning of Article 4 of this
Protocol;

b) products obtained in Slovenia which contain materials not wholly obtained there,
provided that the said materials have undergone sufficient working or processing
in Slovenia within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol.

_Article 3_

**Bilateral cumulation**

**1.** Notwithstanding Article 2 (1) (b), materials originating in Slovenia within the
meaning of this Protocol shall be considered as materials originating in the
Community and it shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone
sufficient working or processing, provided however that they have undergone
working or processing going beyond that referred to in Article 6 of this Protocol.

_**JL*>**_

**f2LS**

2. Notwithstanding Article 2 (2) (b), materials originating in the Community within the
meaning of this Protocol shall be considered as materials originating in Slovenia and
it shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone working or processing,
provided however that they have undergone working or processing going beyond
that referred to in Article 6 of this Protocol.

_Article 4_

**Wholly obtained products**

**1.** The following shall be considered as wholly obtained either in the Community or in
Slovenia.

(a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed;

(b) vegetable products harvested there;

(c) live animals born and raised there;

(d) products from live animals raised there;

(e) products obtained by hunting or fishing there;

(f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea by their vessels;

(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in
subparagraph (f);

(h) used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw materials, including
used tyres fit only for retreading or use as waste;

(i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;

(j) products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters
provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil;

(k) goods produced exclusively from products specified in subparagraphs (a) to (j).

2. The terms 'their vessels' and 'their factory ships' in paragraph 1 (f) and (g) shall apply
only to vessels and factory ships:

  - which are registered or recorded in Slovenia or in a Member State of the
Community,

  - which sail under the flag of Slovenia or of a Member State of the Community,

_**y**_
_**\**_

123

   - which are owned to an extent of at least 50 per cent by nationals of Slovenia or of a
Member States of the Community, or by a company with its head office in one of
these States or in Slovenia, of which the manager or managers, chairman of the
bbard of directors or the supervisory board, and the majority of the members of
such boards are nationals of Slovenia or of Member States of the Community and
of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half
the capital belongs to these States, to Slovenia, to their public bodies or to their
nationals,

of which the master and officers are nationals of Slovenia or of Member States of the

Community,

of which at least 75% of the crew are nationals of Slovenia or of Member States of

the Community,

3. The terms "Slovenia" and the "Community" shall also cover the territorial waters
which surround Slovenia and the Member States of the Community.

Sea-going vessels, including factory ships on which the fish caught is worked or
processed, shall be considered as part of the territory of the Community or of
Slovenia provided that they satisfy the conditions set out in paragraph 2.

_Article 5_

**Sufficiently worked or processed products**

**1.** For the purposes of Article 2, non-originating materials are considered to be
sufficiently worked or processed when the product obtained is classified in a heading
which is different from that in which all the non-originating materials used in its
manufacture are classified, subject to paragraph 2 and Article 6.

2. For a product mentioned in columns 1 and 2 of the list in Annex II, the conditions
set out in column 3 for the product concerned must be fulfilled instead of the rule in
paragraph 1.

Where in the list in Annex II a percentage rule is applied in determining the
originating status of a product obtained in the Community or in Slovenia the value
added by the working or processing shall correspond to the ex-works price of the
product obtained, less the value of third-country materials imported into the
Community or Slovenia.

3. These conditions indicate, for all products covered by the Agreement, the working or
processing which must be carried out on the non-originating materials used in the
manufacture of these products, and apply only in relation to such materials.
Accordingly, it follows that if a product, which has acquired originating status by
fulfilling the conditions set out in the list for that product, 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.

_**#**_

_AlO_

_Article 6_

**Insufficient working or processing operations**

**»**

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:

(a) operations to ensure the preservation of products in good condition during transport
and storage (ventilation, spreading out, drying, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur
dioxide or other aqueous solutions, removal of damaged parts, and like operation);

(b) simple operations consisting of removal of dust, sifting or screening, sorting,
classifying, matching (including the making-up of sets of articles), washing,
painting, cutting up;

(c) (i) changes of packaging and breaking up and assembly of packages;

(ii) simple placing in bottles, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards,
etc., and all other simple packaging operations;

(d) affixing marks, labels and other like distinguishing signs on products or their
packaging;

(e) simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds, where one or more
components of the mixtures do not meet the conditions laid down in this Protocol to
enable them to be considered as originating in the Community or in Slovenia;

(f) simple assembly of parts to constitute a complete product;

(g) a combination of two or more operations specified in subparagraphs (a) to (f);

(h) slaughter of animals.

_Article 7_

**Unit of qualification**

**1.** The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be
the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining
classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System.

Accordingly, 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;

**/ '**

_**\**_

_**M**_

(b) when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under
the same heading of the Harmonized System, each product must be taken
individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol.

2. Where, under general rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packaging is included with
the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of
determining origin.

_Article 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 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 Harmonized System, shall be regarded as
originating when all component products are originating. Nevertheless, when a set is
composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall be
regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not
exceed 15 per cent of the ex-works price of the set.

_Article_ _10_

**Neutral elements**

In order to determine whether a product originates in the Community or in Slovenia it
shall not be necessary to establish whether the electrical energy, fuel, plant and
equipment as well as machines and tools used to obtain such product, or whether any
goods, used in the course of production which do not enter and which were not intended
to enter into the final composition of the product, are originating or not.

TITLE III

**TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS**

_Article_ _11_

**Principle of territoriality**

The conditions set out in Title II relative to the acquisition of originating status must be
fulfilled without interruption in the Community or in Slovenia.

_**Alh**_

_Article_ _12_

**Reimportation of goods**

**i**

If originating products exported from the Community or Slovenia to another country are
returned, except in so far as provided for in Article 3 or 4 they must be considered as
non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs
authorities that:

(a) the goods returned are the same goods as those exported; and

(b) they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them in
good condition while in that country or while being exported.

_Article_ _13_

**Direct transport**

**1.** The preferential treatment provided for under the Agreement applies only to products

The Association Committee may decide to amend the provisions of this Protocol.

_**Article 36**_

The Annexes to this Protocol shall form an integral part thereof.

_**Article 37**_

**Implementation of the Protocol**

The Community and Slovenia shall each take the steps necessary to implement this

Protocol.

_**AK**_

_**ANNEX I**_

**INTRODUCTORY NOTES**

**Foreword**

**These notes shall apply, where appropriate, to all manufactured products using non-originating matenais,**
**even if they are not subject to specific conditions contained in the list in Annex** **II** **but are sub|ecr instead to**
**the change of heading rule set out in** **.Article** **5 (1).**

**Note** **1**

**1.1. The first two columns** **m rhc** **list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading**
**number, or the 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** **tirsc** **two**
**columns a rule** **is** **specified in column 3. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded**
**by an 'ex', this signifies that the rule in column 3 only applies to the part of that heading or chapter as**
**described in column 2.**

**1.2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and**
**the description of product in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rule in column**
**3 applies to all products which, under the Harmonized System, arc classified within headings of the**
**chapter or within any of the headings grouped together in column 1.**

**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 rule** **in** **column** **j .**

**Note 2** **,** **v**

**2.2.** **In** **the case of any heading not in the list or any part of a heading** **rhac** **is not** **in** **the list, the 'change of**
**heading'** **rule** **se:** **out in Article 6(1) applies. If a 'change of** **heading'** **condition applies to any entry** **in**
**the list, then** **it is** **contained in the rule** **in** **column 3.**

**2.2.** **The working or processing required by a rule in column 3 has to be carried out only in relation to the**
**non-originating materials used. The restrictions contained in a rule** **in** **column 3 likewise apply only to**
**the non-originating materials used.**

**2.3.** **Where a rule states that 'materials of any heading' may be used, materials of the same heading as the**
**producr may also be used,** **subiect.** **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 No . . .' means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product**
**of a different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.**

**2.4.** **If a product made from non-originating materials which has acquired originating status during**
**manufacture by virtue of the change of heading rule or its own list rule is used as a material in the**
**process of manufacture of another product, then the rule applicable to the product in which it is**
**incorporated does not apply to** **it.**

_**For example:**_

**An engine of heading No 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 No 7224.**

**If this** **forging has been forged in the country concerned from a non-originating ingot then the forging**
**has already acquired origin by virtue of the rule for heading No ex 7224 in the list. It can then count**
**as originating in the value calculation for the engine regardless of whether it was produced in the same**
**factory or another. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding**
**up the value of the non-originating materials used.**

**<o**

**- 1 ^**

**2-5.** **Even if the change of heading rule or the other rules contained in the list are satisfied, a product shall**
**not** **acquire originating status if the processing carried** **out,** **taken as a whole, is insufficient within the**
**meaning of** **.Article** **6.**

**Note 3**

**3.1.** **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 origin. Thus if a rule says 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.**

**3.2.** **When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material,**
**this means that any one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.**

_**For example:**_

**The rule for fabrics say 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; one can use one or the**
**other or both.** *****

**If,** **however, a restriction applies to one material and other restrictions apply to other materials in the**
**same rule, then the restrictions only apply to the materials actually used.**

_**For example:**_

**The rule for sewing machines specifies that both the thread tension mechanism used and the zigzag**
**mechanism used must originate; these two restrictions only apply if the mechanisms concerned arc**
**actually incorporated into the sewing machine.**

_**3.3.**_ **When** **a rule in the list** **specitics** **that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the**
**condition obviously does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent**
**nature, cannot satisfy the rule.**

_**For example:**_

**The rule for heading No 1904 which specifically excludes the use of cereals or their derivatives does**
**not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which arc not produced from**

**cereals.**

_**For example:**_

**In the case of an article 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.**

**See also Note 6.3** **in** **relation to textiles.**

**3.4.** **If in a rule in the list two or more percentages are given for the maximum value of** **non-originating**
**materials that can be used, then these percentages may not be added together. The maximum value of**
**all the non-originating materials used may' never exceed the highest of the percentages given.**
**Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials**
**they apply to.**

**Note 4**

**4.1.** **The term 'natural fibres' is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres and**
**is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and; unless otherwise specified,**
**the** **term** **'natural fibres' includes fibres that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not**

**spun.**

**4.2.** **The term 'natural fibres' includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of heading Nos 5002 and 5003**
**as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, the** **cocton fibres**
**of heading Nos 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305.**

_**•^**_ _**jy**_ **[B ]**

**14***

**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 Nos 5501 to 5507.**

**Note 5**

**5.1.** **In the case of the products classified within those headings in the list to which a reference is made to**
**this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 of the list shall not be applied to any basic textile**
**materials used in their manufacture which, taken together, represent 10% or less of the total weight**
_**oi**_ **all the basic textile materials used (but see also Notes** _**5.3**_ **and 5.4 below).**

**5.2.** **However, this tolerance may only be applied 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** **othet** **textile fibres of the genus** _**Agave,**_

**— coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,**

**— synthetic man-made filaments,**

**— artificial man-made filaments,**

**— synthetic man-made staple fibres,**

**— artificial man-made staple fibres.**

_**For example:**_

**A yarn of heading No 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading No 5203 and synthetic staple fibres**
**of heading No 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% of the yarn.**

_**For example:**_

**A woollen fabric of heading No 5112 made from woollen yarn of heading No 5107 and synthetic**
**yarn of staple fibres of heading No 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 rhat does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, nor carded**
**or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used up to a**
**weight of 10% of the fabric.**

_**For example:**_

**Tufted textile fabric of heading No 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and cotton**
**fabric of heading No 5210 is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being**
**made from yarns classified in two separate headings or if the cotton yarns used are themselves**
**mixtures.**

_**For example:**_

**If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and**
**synthetic fabric of heading No 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile**
**materials and the tufted textile fabric is accordingly a mixed product.**

**tf**

**443**

_For example:_

A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns and with **a jute backing** is **a**
mixed product **because three basic textile** **materials** **are** used. Thus, **any** non-originating **materials that**
**are at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be** **used,** **provided their total weight taken**
together does not exceed 10 % of **the** weight of the textile **materials** in **the carpet. Thus, both the jute**
backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage of manufacture, provided the weight
conditions are met.

5.3. In the case of fabrics incorporating 'yarn made of polyurcthane segmented with flexible segments of
polyether whether or not gimped' this tolerance is 20% in respect of this yarn.

5.4. In the case of fabrics 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 an adhesive between two films of plastic film, this tolerance is 30% in respect of this
strip.

Note 6

6.1. In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this note,
textile materials with the exception of linings and intcrlinings 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 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. Materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely, whether or not they
contain textiles.

_Example:_

If a rule in the list provides that for a particular textile item, such as trousers, yarn must be used, this
does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within
Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners even though
slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.

_6.3._ Where a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and accessories must be taken into account
when calculating the value _of_ the non-originating materials incorporated.

**JOINT DECLARATION**

**CONCERNING PROTOCOL N°4**

Slovenia fully supports the European Union's strategy to unify rules of origin in
preferential trade between the Community, the Central and East European countries and
the EFTA countries, set out in the conclusions or the European Council's Summit at

The Community and Slovenia are of the opinion that the successful implementation of a
system of diagonal cumulation between the Community and all associated countries in

on one system and on concluding an agreement between themselves. The parties will
seek the addition of Slovenia to the system once these basic conditions have been
fulfilled.
