            Vessels operating on the high seas, including factory ships, on which fish caught is worked or

            that they satisfy the conditions set out in Explanatory Note 5.
            Note 2 — Article 1
            In order to determine whether goods originate in the Community or in Lebanon it shall not be

            tools used to obtain such goods originate in third countries or not.
            Note 3 — Articles 3 ( 1 ), (2) and 4
            The percentage rule constitutes, where the product obtained appears in List A, a criterion addi­
            tional to that of change of heading for any non-originating product used.
            Note 4 — Article 1
            Packing shall be considered as forming a whole with the goods contained therein. This provision ,
            however, shall not apply to packing which is not of the normal type for the article packed ,
            and which has intrinsic utilization value, and is of a durable nature, apart from its function as
            packing.
            Note 5 — Article 2 (f)
            The term 'their vessels' shall apply only to vessels :

                managers, chairman of the board, and the majority of the members of such board are
                nationals of the Member States or Lebanon and of which, in addition, in the case of partner­
                ships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to the Member States or Lebanon
                or to public bodies or nationals of the Member States or of Lebanon,
           — of which the captain and officers are all nationals of the Member States or of Lebanon,
           — of which at least 75 % of the crew are nationals of the Member States or of Lebanon.
            Note 6 — Article 4
