                                             EXPLANATORY NOTES
        Note 1 — Articles 1 and 2
        The terms 'the Community' or 'Algeria' shall also cover the territorial waters of the Member
        States of the Community or of Algeria respectively.
        Vessels operating on the high seas, including factory ships, on which fish caught is worked or
        processed, shall be considered as part of the territory of the State to which they belong provided
        that they satisfy the conditions set out in Explanatory Note 6.
        Note 2 — Article 1
        In order to determine whether goods originate in the Community, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia
        it shall not be necessary to establish whether the power and fuel, plant and equipment, and
        machines and tools used to obtain such goods originate in third countries or not.
        Note 3 — Article 1
        Where a percentage rule is applied in determining originating status of a product obtained in
        a Member State, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia, the value added by the working or processing
        referred to in Article 1 shall correspond to the ex-works price of the product obtained less the
        customs value of third products imported into the Community, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia.
        Note 4 — Article 3 ( 1 ), (2) and 4
        The percentage rule constitutes, where the product obtained appears in List A, a criterion
        additional to that of change of heading for any non-originating product used.
        Note 5 — 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 6 — Article 2 (f)
        The term 'their vessels' shall apply only to vessels :
        — which are registered or recorded in a Member State, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia,
        — which sail under the flag of a Member State, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia,
        — which are owned to an extent of at least 50 % by nationals of the Member States, Algeria,
            Morocco or Tunisia or by a company with its head office in a Member State, Algeria,
             Morocco or Tunisia, of which the manager, managers, chairman of the board of directors
             or of the supervisory board, and the majority of the members of such board are nationals
             of the Member States, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia and of which, in addition, in the case of
            partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to the Member States,
            Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia or to public bodies or nationals of the Member States, Algeria,
            Morocco or Tunisia,
        — of which at least 50 % of the crew, captain and officers included, are nationals of the
            Member States, Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia.

              'Ex-works price' shall mean the price paid to the manufacturer in whose undertaking the last
              working or processing is carried out, provided the price includes the value of all the products
              used in manufacture.
              'Customs value' shall be understood as meaning the customs value laid down in the Convention
              concerning the valuation of goods for customs purposes signed in Brussels on 15 December
              1950 .
              Note 8 — Article 5
              For the purposes of applying Article 5, the ports of embarkation of products originating in
              Algeria for destination in the Community are for example:
              Algiers — Al-Hoceima — Agadir — Annaba — Arzew — Azilah — Bajaia — Beni-Saf —

              Rabat — Safi — Sfax — Skikda — Sousse — Tangier — Tarfaya — Ténès — Tunis.
               Note 9 — Article 24
              The authorities consulted shall furnish any information concerning the conditions under which
               the product has been made, indicating especially the conditions in which the rules of origin have
               been respected in the various Member States and in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
