Commission notice concerning the 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 Contracting Parties to this Convention

(C/2025/465)

For the purpose of the application of diagonal cumulation of origin among the Contracting Parties to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (1) (hereafter referred to as ‘the Convention’), the Parties concerned notify each other, through the European Commission, of the origin rules in force with the other Parties.

It is recalled that diagonal cumulation can only be applied if the Parties of final manufacture and of final destination have concluded free trade agreements with all the Parties participating in the acquisition of originating status, i.e. with all the Parties from which the materials used originate. Materials originating in a Party which has not concluded an agreement with the Parties of final manufacture and/or 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 (2).

Based on the notifications made by the Parties to the European Commission, the tables attached specify:

Table 1 – a simplified overview of cumulation possibilities.

Tables 2 and 3 – the date from which diagonal cumulation becomes applicable.

In Table 1, ‘C’ marks the existence between 2 partners of a free trade agreement containing rules of origin allowing cumulation based on 2012 rules (3). To use diagonal cumulation with a third partner, ‘C’ should be present in all the intersection of the table between the 3 partners.

In Table 1, ‘R’ marks the existence between 2 partners of a free trade agreement containing rules of origin allowing cumulation based on 2023 rules (4). To use diagonal cumulation with a third partner, ‘R’ should be present in all the intersection of the table between the 3 partners.

For the purpose of the application of the transitional provisions introduced by JC Decision 2/2024 applicable between two CPs, materials originating in another CP in accordance with 2012 rules can be used in cumulation under 2023 rules by applying the principle of permeability as provided by the Sole Article, paragraph 2 of that Decision.

However, there are some exceptions to diagonal cumulation. For such cases, either (1), (2) or an (*) will point out the exceptions to consider.

In Table 2, the dates mentioned refer to:

The date of application of diagonal cumulation on the basis of Article 3 of Appendix I to 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 preceding the Convention providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreement concerned, in other cases;

The date of application of diagonal cumulation on the basis of Article 7 of Appendix I to the Convention as amended by Decision No 1/2023 of the Joint Committee of the Convention of 7 December 2023  (5). In that case the date is preceded by ‘(R)’

In Table 3 the dates mentioned refer to the date of application of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreements between the EU, Türkiye and the participants to the EU's Stabilisation and Association Process. Each time a reference to the Convention is made in a free trade agreement between Parties in this table, a date preceded by ‘(C)’ and/or ‘(R)’, as the case may be, has been added in Table 2.

It is also recalled that materials originating in Türkiye covered by the EU- Türkiye customs union can be incorporated as originating materials for the purpose of diagonal cumulation between the European Union and the countries participating in the Stabilisation and Association Process with which an origin protocol is in force.
