         DECISION No 1/2010 OF THE EU-MEXICO JOINT COMMITTEE
   of 17 September 2010
   relating to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000 of the EU-Mexico Joint Council concerning the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation
   (2010/626/EU)
   THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
   Having regard to Decision No 2/2000 of the EU-Mexico Joint Council of 23 March 2000 (1) (hereinafter ‘Decision No 2/2000’), and in particular Notes 2 and 3 of Appendix II(a) to Annex III concerning the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation and Joint Declaration V thereto,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Annex III to Decision No 2/2000 sets out the rules of origin for the products originating in the territory of the Parties to the Agreement.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               According to Joint Declaration V, the Joint Committee shall review the necessity to extend beyond 30 June 2003 the application of the rules of origin established in Notes 2 and 3 of Appendix II(a) to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000, if the economic conditions which formed the basis for establishing the rule set out in those Notes continue. On 22 March 2004 and on 14 June 2007 the EU-Mexico Joint Committee adopted Decisions No 1/2004 (2) and 1/2007 (3) extending the application of the rules of origin established in Notes 2 and 3 of Appendix II(a) to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000 until 30 June 2006 and 30 June 2009, respectively.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In accordance with the analysis of the relevant economic conditions undertaken according to Joint Declaration V, it is considered appropriate, in order to ensure the continuity of application of the mutual advantages provided under Decision No 2/2000, to extend on a temporary basis, the application of the rules of origin established in Notes 2 and 3 of Appendix II(a) to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000,
            
         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Article 1
   The rules of origin set out in Notes 2 and 3 of Appendix II(a) to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000, shall be applied until 30 June 2014 instead of the rules of origin set out in Appendix II to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the date the Parties exchange written notifications certifying the completion of their respective legal procedures.
   Article 1 shall apply from 1 July 2009.
