Commission notice concerning the date of application of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin or the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation between the European Union, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Faeroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Morocco, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and West Bank and Gaza Strip
2013/C 110/04
For the purpose of the application of diagonal cumulation of origin among the European Union, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Faeroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo (1), Lebanon, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Morocco, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and West Bank and Gaza Strip, the European Union and the Parties concerned notify each other, through the European Commission, of the origin rules in force with the other Parties.
Based on these notifications, the table attached specifies the date from which such cumulation becomes applicable. This table replaces the previous one (OJ C 156, 26.5.2011).
The dates mentioned in the table refer to:
— |
the date of application of diagonal cumulation on the basis of Article 3 of Appendix I to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (2) (hereafter referred to as ‘the Convention’), where the free trade agreement concerned refers to the Convention. In that case, the date is preceded by ‘(C)’, |
— |
the date of application of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreement concerned, in other cases. |
It is recalled that cumulation can be only applied if the Parties of final manufacture and of final destination have concluded free trade agreements, containing identical rules of origin, with all the Parties participating in the acquisition of originating status, i.e. with all the Parties from which all the materials used originate. Materials originating in the Party which has not concluded an agreement with the Parties of final manufacture and of final destination shall be treated as non-originating. Specific examples are given in the Explanatory Notes concerning the pan-Euro-Mediterranean protocols on rules of origin (3).
All participants to the EU's Stabilisation and Association Process have been added to the table attached. However, the table attached to Commission notice (2012/C 154/07) (4) remains valid for the time being. Dates will progressively be added in the present table, each time a reference to the Convention is included in the free trade agreement concerned.
It is also recalled that Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein form a customs union.
