                                               EXPLANATORY NOTES
          Note 1 — Article 1
          The terms 'the Community' or 'Austria', 'Finland', 'Iceland', 'Norway', 'Portugal', 'Sweden',
          'Switzerland' shall also cover the territorial waters of the Member States of the Community
          or of each of these seven countries respectively.
          Vessels operating on the high seas, including factory ships, on which the 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 5 .
          Note 2 — Articles 1 , 2 and 3
          In order to determine whether goods originate in the Community or in one of the countries
          specified in Article 2, 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 — Articles 2 and 5

          be observed by referring, for the added value acquired, to the provisions contained in Lists A
          and B. Where the products obtained appears in List A, the percentage rule, therefore, consti­
          tutes a criterion additional to that of change of tariff heading for any non-originating
          product used. Likewise the provisions ruling out the possibility of cumulating the percentages
          shown in Lists A and B for any one product obtained are applicable in each country for the
          added value acquired.
          Note 4 — Articles 1 , 2 and 3

          — which sail under the flag of a Member State of the Community or of one of the countries
              specified in Article 2 ;

              of the Member States of the Community or of a country referred to above and of which,
              in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital

              last working or processing is carried out, provided the price includes the value of all the
              products used in manufacture.

              charging or the non-imposition when goods obtained from the said products ate exported
              but not when they are retained for home use.

                  or processed in any one of the seven countries,
