                           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 multilateralframeworkestablished 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
 ---pagebreak---     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.

   EXCEPTIONAL TARIFF MEASURES
   Exceptional measures of limited duration which derogate from the provisions of Article 11 and
   Article 26(1) may be taken by Slovenia in the form of increased customs duties.
   These measures may only concern infant industries, or certain sectors undergoing restructuring
   or facing serious difficulties, particularly where these difficulties produce major social problems.

   the Community may not exceed 25% ad valorem and must maintain an element of preference for
   products originating in the Community. The total value of imports of the products which are
   subject to these measures may not exceed 15% of total imports from the Community of
   industrial products as defined in Chapter I, during the last year for which statistics are available.
  The measures shall be applied for a period not exceeding five years unless a longer duration is
  authorized by the Association Council. They shall cease to apply at the latest on the expiry of the
  transitional period.
  No such measures may be introduced in respect of a product if more than three years have

  having equivalent effect concerning that product.
  Slovenia shall inform the Association Council of any exceptional measures it intends to adopt
  and, at the request of the Community, consultations shall be held in the Association Council on
  such measures and the sectors to which they apply before they are put into effect. When
  adopting such measures Slovenia shall provide the Association Council with a schedule for the
  elimination of the customs duties introduced under this Article. This schedule shall provide for
  a phasing-out of these duties at equal annual rates starting at the latest two years after their
  introduction. The Association Council may decide on a different schedule.

     PROCEDURES
     1.   In the event of the Community or Slovenia subjecting imports of products liable to give rise
          to the difficulties referred to in Article 31 to an administrative procedure having as its
          purpose the rapid provision of information on the trend of trade flows, it shall inform the
          other Party.
    2.    In the cases specified in Articles 30, 31 and 32, before taking the measures provided for
          therein or, in cases to which paragraph 3(d) applies, as soon as possible, the Community or
          Slovenia, as the case may be, shall supply the Association Council with all relevant
          information, with a view to seeking a solution acceptable to the two Parties.
    In the selection of measures, priority must be given to those which least disturb the functioning
    of this Agreement.
    The safeguard measures shall be notified immediately to the Association Council and shall be
    the subject of periodic consultations within that body, notably with a view to establishing a
    timetable for their abolition as soon as circumstances permit.

             Article shall be referred for examination to the Association Council, which may take
             any decision needed to put an end to such difficulties.
             If the Association Council or the exporting Party has not taken a decision putting an end
             to the difficulties or no other satisfactory solution has been reached within thirty days of
             the matter being referred, the importing Party may adopt the appropriate measures to
             remedy the problem. These measures must not exceed the scope of what is necessary to
             remedy the difficulties which have arisen.
         b. As regards Article 30, the Association Council shall be informed of the instance of
             dumping as soon as the authorities of the importing Party have initiated an investigation.
             Where no end has been put to the dumping within the meaning of Article VI of the
             GATT 1994 or no other satisfactory solution has been reached within thirty days of the
             matter being referred to the Association Council, the importing Party may adopt the
             appropriate measures.
         c. As regards Article 32, the difficulties arising from the situations referred to in that
             Article shall be referred for examination to the Association Council.

            Where exceptional circumstances requiring immediate action make prior information or
            examination, as the case may be, impossible, the Community or Slovenia whichever is
            concerned may, in the situations specified in Articles 30, 31 and 32, apply forthwith the
            safeguard measures strictly necessary to deal with the situation and inform the

                assessment of such knowledge may reflect, apart from knowledge specific to the
                establishment, a high level of qualification referring to a type of work or trade requiring

        administrative, technical and other rules, to that of the Community existing at any time in

       Association Council shall examine ways of creating the conditions necessary for improving
       freedom to provide air and inland transport services.

      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.

   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.

                                          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.

                        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.

                »
       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.

      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;

            the same heading of the Harmonized System, each product must be taken
            individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol.

       the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of
       determining origin.

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.

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.

2.   The customs authorities in the exporting State may authorize any exporter,
     hereinafter referred to as 'approved exporter', making frequent shipments for which
     EUR.1 movement certificates may be issued and who offers, to the satisfaction of the
    competent authorities, all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the
    products, not to submit to the customs office of the application for an EUR. 1
    certificate relating to those goods, for the purpose of obtaining an EUR. 1 certificate
    under the conditions laid down in Article 16 of this Protocol.
3.  The authorisation referred to in paragraph 2 shall stipulate, at the choice of the
    competent authorities, that box No 11 'Customs endorsement' of the EUR.1
    movement certificate must:
    (a) either be endorsed beforehand with the stamp of the competent customs office of
         the exporting State and the signature, which may be a facsimile, of an official of
         that office; or
    (b) be endorsed by the approved exporter with a special stamp which has been
         approved by the customs authorities of the exporting State and corresponds to
         the specimen given in Annex V of this Protocol. Such stamp may be pre-printed
         on the forms.

5.   Box No 11 'Customs endorsement' of the EUR.1 certificate shall be completed if
     necessary by the approved exporter.
6.   The, approved exporter shall, if necessary, indicate in box No 13 'Request for
     verification' of the EUR.1 certificate the name and address of the authority
     competent to verify such a certificate.
7.   Where the simplified procedure is applied, the customs authorities of the exporting
     State may prescribe the use of EUR.1 certificates bearing a distinctive sign by which
    they may be identified.
8.   In the authorization referred to in paragraph 2 the competent authorities shall specify
     in particular:
    (a) the conditions under which the applications for EUR. 1 certificates are to be
          made;
    (b) the conditions under which these applications are to be kept for at least three
          years;
    (c) in the cases referred to in paragraph 3 (b) the authority competent to carry out
          the subsequent verification referred to in Article 29 of this Protocol.
9.  The customs authorities of the exporting State may declare certain categories of
    goods ineligible for the special treatment provided for in paragraph 2.
10. The customs authorities shall refuse the autorization referred to in paragraph 2 to
    exporters who do not offer all the guarantees which they consider necessary. The
    competent authorities may withdraw the authorization at any time. They must do so
    where the approved exporter no longer satisfies the conditions or no longer offers
    these guarantees.
11. The approved exporter may be required to inform the competent authorities, in
    accordance with the rules which they lay down, of the goods to be dispatched by
    him, so that such authorities may make any verification they think necessary before
    the departure of the goods.
12. The customs authorities of the exporting State may carry out any check on approved
    exporters which they consider necessary. Such exporters must allow this to be done.
13. The provisions of this Article shall be without prejudice to the application of the
    rules of the Community, the Member States and Slovenia concerning customs
    formalities and the use of customs documents.

   2.  Movement certificates EUR. 1 which are submitted to the customs authorities of the
       importing country after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may
       be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to
       submit these documents by the final date set is due to reasons of force majeure or
       exceptional circumstances.
  3.   In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing
       country may accept the movement certificates EUR. 1 where the products have been
       submitted to them before the said final date.

   1.  Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming

      requiring the submission of a formal proof of origin, provided that such products are
      not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of
      this Protocol and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In
      the case of products sent by post, this declaration can be made on the customs
      declaration C2/CP3 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document.
   2.  Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of
      the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way

      the products submitted.
   2. Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a movement certificate EUR. 1, or a

     other Contracting Parties.
     When the amounts exceed the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing
     country, the latter shall accept them if the products are invoiced in the currency of
     the exporting country.
     If the goods are invoiced in the currency of another Member State of the Community
     the importing State shall recognize the amount notified by the country concerned.
2.   Up to and including 30 April 2000, the amounts to be used in any given national
     currency shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the amounts expressed in
     ECUs as at 1 October 1994.
     For each successive period of five years, the amounts expressed in ECUs and their
     equivalents in the national currencies of the States shall be reviewed by the
     Association Committee on the basis of the exchange rates of the ECU as at the first
    working day in October in the year immediately preceding that five-years period.
     When carrying out this review, the Association Committee shall ensure that there
    will be no decrease in the amounts to be used in any national currency and shall
    furthermore 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
    ECUs.

     1.   Subsequent verification of movement certificates EUR.1 and forms EUR.2 shall be
          carried out randomly or whenever the customs authorities of the importing state have
          reasoned to doubt the authenticity of such documents, the originating status of the
          products concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.
     2.   For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs
          authorities of the importing country shall return the movement certificate EUR.1, the
          Form EUR.2, or a copy of these documents, to the customs authorities of the
          exporting country giving, where appropriate, the reasons of substance or form for an
          inquiry.
          They shall forward, in support of the request for subsequent verification, any
         documents and information that have been obtained suggesting that the information
         given on the movement certificate EUR. 1 or the form EUR.2 is incorrect.
    3.   The verification shall be carried out by the customs authorities of the exporting
         country. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to
         carry out any inspection of the exporter's accounts or any other check which they
         consider appropriate.
    4.   If the customs authorities of the importing country decide to suspend the granting of
         preferential treatment to the products concerned while awaiting the results of the
         verification, they shall offer to release the products to the importer subject to any
         precautionary measures judged necessary.
    5.   The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of
         this verification within a maximum of ten months. These results must indicate
         clearly whether the documents are authentic and whether the products concerned can
         be considered as originating products and fulfil the other requirements of this
         Protocol.
    6.   If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months or if the reply
         does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document
         in question or the real origin of the products, the requesting customs authorities shall,
         except in the case of force majeure or in exceptional circumstances, refuse
         entitlement to the preferences.

       products traded under cover of a movement certificate EUR. 1, which in the course of
       transport use a free zone situated in their territory, are not substituted by other goods
       and that they do not undergo handling other than normal operations designed to
       prevent their deterioration.
  2.   By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products
       originating in the Community or in Slovenia and imported into a free zone under
       cover of an EUR. 1 certificate and undergo treatment or processing, the authorities
       concerned must issue a new EUR.1 certificate at the exporter's request, if the
       treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this

                                                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.

      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.

   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.

        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 2 0 % 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 3 0 % 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.

          (g) polymerization;
          (h) alkylation;
          (ij) isomerization;
          (k) (in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only) desulphurization with hydrogen
               resulting in a reduction of at least 85% of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM
               D 1266-59 T method);
          (I)  (in respect of products falling within heading No 2710 only), deparaffining by a process other
               than filtering;
          (m) (in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only) treatment with hydrogen at a
               pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 °C with the use of a catalyst,
               other than to effect desulphurizadon, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a
               chemical reaction. The further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating oils of heading No ex 2710
               (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolorization) in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability
               shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

     7.3. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple
          operations such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marketing
          obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing products' with different sulphur contents, any
          combination of these operations or like operations do not confer origin.

   Declaration of intent by the contracting parties on the trade arrangements between the
   States that emerged from the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
   1.    The European Community and Slovenia consider it essential for economic and
         trade co-operation between the States that emerged from the former Federal
         Republic of Yugoslavia to be re-established as quickly as possible, as soon as

           emerged from the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which have restored
           normal economic and trade co-operation as soon as the administrative co-
           operation needed for cumulation to work properly has been established.
   3.      With this in mind, Slovenia declares its readiness to enter into negotiations as
           soon as possible in order to establish co-operation with other States that emerged
           from the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

     attention should also be given to common customs procedures for traffic transiting
     through all these ports.

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
Essen in December 1994.
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
Central and Eastern Europe would be dependent on the associated countries all agreeing
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.
