between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation
THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,
of the one part, and
THE SWISS CONFEDERATION,
of the other part,
DESIRING to consolidate and to extend, upon the enlargement of the European Economic Community, the economic relations existing between the Community and Switzerland and to ensure, with due regard for fair conditions of competition, the harmonious development of their commerce for the purpose of contributing to the work of constructing Europe,
RESOLVED to this end to eliminate progressively the obstacles to substantially all their trade, in accordance with the provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade concerning the establishment of free trade areas,
DECLARING their readiness to examine, in the light of any relevant factor, and in particular of developments in the Community, the possibility of developing and deepening their relations where it would appear to be useful in the interests of their economies to extend them to fields not covered by this Agreement,
HAVE DECIDED, in pursuit of these objectives and considering that no provision of this Agreement may be interpreted as exempting the Contracting Parties from the obligations which are incumbent upon them under other international agreements,
TO CONCLUDE THIS AGREEMENT:

to promote through the expansion of reciprocal trade the harmonious development of economic relations between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation and thus to foster in the Community and in Switzerland the advance of economic activity, the improvement of living and employment conditions, and increased productivity and financial stability,
to provide fair conditions of competition for trade between the Contracting Parties,
to contribute in this way, by the removal of barriers to trade, to the harmonious development and expansion of world trade.

The Joint Committee shall examine the position with a view to the conversion of such duties into internal charges before 1 January 1980 or before any other date which it might determine in the light of circumstances.
Article 5
Subject to the application by the Community of Article 39 (5) of the ‘Act concerning the Conditions of Accession and the Adjustments to the Treaties’ ►M12 ————— ◄ , as regards the specific duties or the specific part of the mixed duties in the Irish Customs Tariff, Article 3 and ►M12 Protocols No 1 and No 2 ◄ shall be applied, with rounding to the fourth decimal place.
Article 6
Any charge having an effect equivalent to a customs duty on imports, the rate of which on 31 December 1972 is higher than that actually applied on 1 January 1972 shall be reduced to the latter rate upon the entry into force of the Agreement.
Charges having an effect equivalent to customs duties on imports shall be progressively abolished in accordance with the following timetable:
by 1 January 1974 at the latest each charge shall be reduced to 60% of the rate applied on 1 January 1972;
three further reductions of 20% each shall be made on:
Article 7
Customs duties on exports and charges having equivalent effect shall be abolished not later than 1 January 1974.

Article 10
Article 11

Article 12
A Contracting Party which is considering the reduction of the effective level of its duties or charges having equivalent effect applicable to third countries benefiting from most favoured-nation treatment, or which is considering the suspension of their application, shall, as far as may be practicable, notify the Joint Committee not less than thirty days before such reduction or suspension comes into effect. It shall take note of any representations by the other Contracting Party regarding any distortions which might result therefrom.
Article 12a
In the event of amendments to the customs tariff nomenclature of one or both of the Contracting Parties for products referred to in the Agreement, the Joint Committee may adapt the tariff nomenclature of those products in the Agreement to conform with such amendments having due regard to the principle that the advantages resulting from the Agreement should be maintained.
Article 13
Article 13a
Article 13b
A Contracting Party which is considering a change in the arrangements which it applies to exports to third countries shall, as far as may be practicable, notify the Joint Committee not less than 30 days before the proposed change comes into effect. It shall take note of any representations by the other Contracting Party regarding any distortions which may result therefrom.
Article 14
In this event the Community shall take due account of the interests of Switzerland; to this end it shall inform the Joint Committee, which shall meet under the conditions set out in Article 31.
Article 15
Article 16
From 1 July 1977 products originating in Switzerland may not enjoy more favourable treatment when imported into the Community than that applied by the Member States of the Community between themselves.
Article 17
The Agreement shall not preclude the maintenance or establishment of customs unions, free trade areas or arrangements for frontier trade, except in so far as they alter the trade arrangements provided for in the Agreement, in particular the provisions concerning rules of origin.
Article 18
The Contracting Parties shall refrain from any measure or practice of an internal fiscal nature establishing, whether directly or indirectly, discrimination between the products of one Contracting Party and like products originating in the territory of the other Contracting Party.
Products exported to the territory of one of the Contracting Parties may not benefit from repayment of internal taxation in excess of the amount of direct or indirect taxation imposed on them.
Article 19
Payments relating to trade in goods and the transfer of such payments to the Member State of the Community in which the creditor is resident or to Switzerland shall be free from any restrictions.
The Contracting Parties shall refrain from any exchange or administrative restrictions on the grant, repayment or acceptance of short- and medium-term credits covering commercial transactions in which a resident participates.

Such prohibitions or restrictions must not, however, constitute a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between the Contracting Parties.
Article 21
Nothing in the Agreement shall prevent a Contracting Party from taking any measures:
which it considers necessary to prevent the disclosure of information contrary to its essential security interests;
which relate to trade in arms, munitions or war materials or to research, development or production indispensable for defence purposes, provided that such measures do not impair the conditions of competition in respect of products not intended for specifically military purposes;
which it considers essential to its own security in time of war or serious international tension.
Article 22
If either Contracting Party considers that the other Contracting Party has failed to fulfil an obligation under the Agreement, it may take appropriate measures under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27.
Article 23
The following are incompatible with the proper functioning of the Agreement in so far as they may affect trade between the Community and Switzerland:
all 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 as regards the production of or trade in goods;
abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position in the territories of the Contracting Parties as a whole or in a substantial part thereof;
any public add which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods.
Article 24
Where an increase in imports of a given product is or is likely to be seriously detrimental to any production activity carried on in the territory of one of the Contracting Parties and where this increase is due to:
the partial or total reduction in the importing Contracting Party, as provided for in the Agreement, of customs duties and charges having equivalent effect levied on the product in question; and
the fact that the duties or charges having equivalent effect levied by the exporting Contracting Party on imports of raw materials or intermediate products used in the manufacture of the product in question are significantly lower than the corresponding duties or charges levied by the importing Contracting Party;
the Contracting Party concerned may take appropriate measures under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27.
Article 24a
Where compliance with the provisions of Articles 7 and 13a leads to
re-export towards a third country against which the exporting Contracting Party maintains, for the product concerned quantitative export restrictions, export duties or measures or charges having equivalent effect; or
a serious shortage, or threat thereof, of a product essential to the exporting Contracting Party;
and where the situations referred to above give rise or are likely to give rise to major difficulties for the exporting Contracting Party, that Contracting Party may take appropriate measures under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27.
Article 25
If one of the Contracting Parties finds that dumping is taking place in trade with the other Contracting Party, it may take appropriate measures against this practice in accordance with the Agreement on implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27.
Article 26
If serious disturbances arise in any sector of the economy or if difficulties arise which could bring about serious deterioration in the economic situation of a region, the Contracting Party concerned may take appropriate measures under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 27.

For the implementation of paragraph 2, thefollowing provisions shall apply:
As regards Article 23, either Contracting Party may refer the matter to the Joint Committee if it considers that a given practice is incompatible with the proper functioning of the Agreement within the meaning of Article 23 (1).
The Contracting Parties shall provide the Joint Committee with all relevant information and shall give it the assistance it requires in order to examine the case and, where appropriate, to eliminate the practice objected to.
If the Contracting Party in question fails to put an end to the practice objected to within the period fixed by the Joint Committee, or in the absence of agreement in the Joint Committee within three months of the matter being referred to it, the Contracting Party concerned may adopt any safeguard measures it considers necessary to deal with the serious difficulties resulting from the practices in question; in particular it may withdraw tariff concessions.
As regards Article 24, the difficulties arising from thesituation referred to in that Article shall be referredfor examination to the Joint Committee, which maytake any decision needed to put an end to suchdifficulties.

As regards Article 25, consultation in the Joint Committee shall take place before the Contracting Party concerned takes the appropriate measures.
Where exceptional circumstances requiring immediate action make prior examination impossible, the Contracting Party concerned may, in the situations specified in Articles 24, 24a, 25 and 26 and also in the case of export aids having a direct and immediate incidence on trade, apply forthwith the precautionary measures strictly necessary to remedy the situation.
Article 28

Article 3
Imports to which the-tariff treatment provided for in Articles 1 and 2 applies, except unwrought lead other than bullion lead (falling within subheading No 78.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff), shall be subjected to annual indicative ceilings above which the customs duties applicable in respect of third countries may be reintroduced in accordance with the following provisions:
Taking into account the Community's right to suspend application of ceilings for certain products, the ceilings fixed for 1973 are shown in Annex B. These ceilings are calculated on the assumption that the Community as originally constituted and Ireland shall make the first tariff reduction on 1 April 1973. For 1974 the level of the ceilings shall correspond to that applied in 1973 readjusted on an annual basis for the Community and raised by 5%. From 1 January 1975 the level of the ceilings shall be raised annually by 5%.
For products covered by this Protocol but not included in Annex B, the Community reserves the right to introduce ceilings of which the level will be equal to the average amount of imports into the Community over the last four years for which statistics are available, increased by 5%; for the following years, the levels of these ceilings shall be raised annually by 5%.
Should, for two successive years, imports of a product subject to a ceiling be less than 90% of the level fixed, the Community shall suspend the application of this ceiling.
In the event of short-term economic difficulties, the Community reserves the right, after consultation within the Joint Committee, to maintain for a year the level fixed for the preceding year.
On 1 December each year the Community shall notify the Joint Committee of the list of products subject to ceilings in the following year and of the levels of the ceilings.
Imports under the tariff quotas opened in accordance with Article 1 (4) shall also be set off against the ceiling levels fixed for the same products.
Notwithstanding Article 3 of the Agreement and Articles 1 and 2 of this Protocol, when a ceiling fixed for imports of a product covered by this Protocol is reached, Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of the product in question may be reimposed until the end of the calendar year.
In this event, prior to 1 July 1977:
Denmark ►M12 ————— ◄ and the United Kingdom shall reimpose customs duties as follows:

After 1 July 1977 the Contracting Parties shall examine within the Joint Committee the possibility of revising the percentage by which the levels of ceilings are raised, having regard to the trend of consumption and imports in the Community and to experience gained in applying this Article.
The ceilings shall be abolished at the end of the tariff dismantling periods provided for in Articles 1 and 2 of this Protocol.

Appendix to Protocol 2
Provisions on administrative cooperation
1. The Contracting Parties agree that administrative cooperation is essential for the implementation and the control of the preferential treatment granted under this Protocol and underline their commitment to combat irregularities and fraud in customs and related matters.
2. Where a Contracting Party has made a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to provide administrative cooperation and/or of irregularities or fraud under this Protocol, the Contracting Party concerned may temporarily suspend the relevant preferential treatment of the product(s) concerned in accordance with this Annex.
3. For the purpose of this Appendix a failure to provide administrative cooperation shall mean, inter alia:
a repeated failure to respect the obligations to verify the originating status of the product(s) concerned;
a repeated refusal or undue delay in carrying out and/or communicating the results of subsequent verification of the proof of origin;
a repeated refusal or undue delay in obtaining authorisation to conduct administrative cooperation missions to verify the authenticity of documents or accuracy of information relevant to the granting of the preferential treatment in question.
For the purpose of this Appendix a finding of irregularities or fraud may be made, inter alia, where there is a rapid increase, without satisfactory explanation, in imports of goods exceeding the usual level of production and export capacity of the other Contracting Party that is linked to objective information concerning irregularities or fraud.
4. The application of a temporary suspension shall be subject to the following conditions:
the Contracting Party which has made a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to provide administrative cooperation and/or of irregularities or fraud in customs and related matters shall without undue delay notify the Joint Committee of its finding together with the objective information and enter into consultations within the Joint Committee, on the basis of all relevant information and objective findings, with a view to reaching a solution acceptable to both Contracting Parties;
where the Contracting Parties have entered into consultations within the Joint Committee as above and have failed to agree on an acceptable solution within three months following the notification, the Contracting Party concerned may temporarily suspend the relevant preferential treatment of the product(s) concerned. A temporary suspension shall be notified to the Joint Committee without undue delay;
temporary suspensions under this Appendix shall be limited to that necessary to protect the financial interests of the Contracting Party concerned. They shall not exceed a period of six months, which may be renewed. Temporary suspensions shall be notified immediately after their adoption to the Joint Committee. They shall be subject to periodic consultations within the Joint Committee in particular with a view to their termination as soon as the conditions for their application are no longer given;
5. At the same time as the notification to the Joint Committee under paragraph 4(a) of this Appendix, the Contracting Party concerned should publish a notice to importers in its Official Journal. The notice to importers should indicate for the product concerned that there is a finding, on the basis of objective information, of a failure to provide administrative cooperation and/or of irregularities or fraud.

OBJECTIVES
These Rules are optional. They are intended to apply on a provisional basis, pending the conclusion and entry into force of the amendment of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin ('PEM Convention' or 'Convention'). These Rules will apply bilaterally to trade between those Contracting Parties that agree to refer to them or include them in their bilateral preferential trade agreements. These Rules are intended to apply as an alternative to the rules of the Convention, which, as provided by the Convention, are without prejudice to the principles laid down in the relevant agreements and other related bilateral agreements among Contracting Parties. Accordingly, these Rules will not be mandatory, but optional. They may be applied by economic operators that desire to claim preferences based on these Rules instead of on the basis of the rules of the Convention.
These Rules are not intended to modify the Convention. The Convention continues to apply in full between the Contracting Parties to the Convention. These Rules will not alter the rights and obligations of the Contracting Parties under the Convention.
TITLE I

'customs value' means the value as determined in accordance with the Agreement on implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (WTO Agreement on Customs Valuation);
'ex-works price' means the price paid for the product ex works to the manufacturer in the Party in whose undertaking the last working or processing is carried out, provided that the price includes the value of all the materials used and all other costs related to its production, minus any internal taxes which are, or may be, repaid when the product obtained is exported. Where the last working or processing has been subcontracted to a manufacturer, the term 'manufacturer' refers to the enterprise that has employed the subcontractor.
Where the actual price paid does not reflect all costs related to the manufacturing of the product which are actually incurred in the Party, the ex-works price means the sum of all those costs, minus any internal taxes which are, or may be, repaid when the product obtained is exported;

'product' means the product being manufactured, even if it is intended for later use in another manufacturing operation;
'territory' includes the land territory, internal waters and the territorial sea of a Party;

'value of materials' means the customs value at the time of importation of the non-originating materials used, or, if this is not known and cannot be ascertained, the first ascertainable price paid for the materials in the exporting Party. Where the value of the originating materials used needs to be established, this point shall be applied mutatis mutandis.
TITLE II
DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF 'ORIGINATING PRODUCTS'
Article 2
General requirements
For the purpose of implementing the Agreement, the following products shall be considered as originating in a Party when exported to the other Party:
products wholly obtained in a Party, within the meaning of Article 3;
products obtained in a Party incorporating materials which have not been wholly obtained there, provided that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing in that Party within the meaning of Article 4.

they are registered in the exporting or the importing Party;
they sail under the flag of the exporting or the importing Party;
they meet one of the following conditions:
they are at least 50 % owned by nationals of the exporting or the importing Party; or

Article 4
Sufficient working or processing
However, where the relevant rule is based on compliance with a maximum content of non-originating materials, the customs authorities of the Parties may authorise exporters to calculate the ex-works price of the product and the value of the non-originating materials on an average basis as set out in paragraph 4, in order to take into account the fluctuations in costs and currency rates.
Article 5
Tolerance rule
By way of derogation from Article 4 and subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list in Annex II, are not to be used in the manufacture of a given product may nevertheless be used, provided that their total net weight or value assessed for the product does not exceed:
15 % of the net weight of the product falling within Chapters 2 and 4 to 24, other than processed fishery products of Chapter 16;
15 % of the ex-works price of the product for products other than those covered by point (a).
This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System, for which the tolerances mentioned in Notes 6 and 7 of Annex I shall apply.
Article 6
Insufficient working or processing

a combination of two or more operations specified in points (a) to (q).
Article 7
Cumulation of origin
For the purpose of this paragraph, the participants in the European Union's Stabilisation and Association process and the Republic of Moldova are to be considered as one applying Contracting Party.
Article 8
Conditions for the application of cumulation of origin
The cumulation provided for in Article 7 may be applied only provided that:
a preferential trade agreement in accordance with Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT) is applicable between the applying Contracting Parties involved in the acquisition of the originating status and the applying Contracting Party of destination; and
goods have obtained originating status by the application of rules of origin identical to those given in these Rules.
The cumulation provided for in Article 7 shall apply from the date indicated in those notices.
The Parties shall provide the European Commission with details of the relevant agreements concluded with other applying Contracting Parties, including the dates of entry into force of these Rules.
In cases where a movement certificate EUR.1 is used as a proof of origin, that statement shall be made in Box 7 of the movement certificate EUR.1.
The Parties shall notify the waiver to the European Commission in accordance with Article 8(2).
Article 9
Unit of qualification
The unit of qualification for the application of these Rules shall be the particular product which is considered to be the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonised System. It follows that:
when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the terms of the Harmonised System in a single heading, the whole constitutes the unit of qualification;
when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading of the Harmonised System, each individual item shall be taken into account when applying these Rules.
Article 10
Sets
Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonised System, shall be regarded as originating when all the component products are originating.
When a set is composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall however be regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not exceed 15 % of the ex-works price of the set.
Article 11
Neutral elements
In order to determine whether a product is an originating product, no account shall be taken of the origin of the following which might be used in its manufacture:
energy and fuel;
plant and equipment;
machines and tools;
any other goods which do not enter, and which are not intended to enter, into the final composition of the product.
Article 12
Accounting segregation
Through the use of accounting segregation it must be ensured that, at any time, no more products can be considered as 'originating in the exporting Party' than would have been the case if a method of physical segregation of the stocks had been used.
The method shall be applied and the application thereof shall be recorded on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the exporting Party.
TITLE III
TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS
Article 13
Principle of territoriality
If originating products exported from a Party to another country are returned, they shall be considered to be non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
the products returned are the same as those which were exported; and
they have not undergone any operations beyond that necessary to preserve them in good condition while in that country or while being exported.
The obtention of originating status in accordance with the conditions set out in Title II shall not be affected by working or processing done outside the exporting Party on materials exported from this Party and subsequently re-imported there, provided:
those materials are wholly obtained in the exporting Party or have undergone working or processing beyond the operations referred to in Article 6 prior to being exported; and
it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
the re-imported products have been obtained by working or processing the exported materials; and
the total added value acquired outside the exporting Party by applying this Article does not exceed 10 % of the ex-works price of the end product for which originating status is claimed.
Article 14
Non-alteration
In the case of doubt, the importing Party may request the importer or its representative to submit at any time all appropriate documents to provide evidence of compliance with this Article, which may be given by any documentary evidence, and notably by:
contractual transport documents such as bills of lading;
factual or concrete evidence based on marking or numbering of packages;
a certificate of non-manipulation provided by the customs authorities of the country(ies) of transit or splitting or any other documents demonstrating that the goods remained under customs supervision in the country(ies) of transit or splitting; or
any evidence related to the goods themselves.
Article 15
Exhibitions
Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other than with which cumulation is applicable in accordance with Articles 7 and 8 and sold after the exhibition for importation in a Party, shall benefit on importation from the relevant agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
an exporter has consigned the products from a Party to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there;
the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to a person in another Party;
the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent for exhibition; and
the products have not, since they were consigned for exhibition, been used for any purpose other than demonstration at the exhibition.

ANNEX I
INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II
Note 1 – General introduction
The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 4 of Title II of this Appendix. There are four different types of rules, which vary according to the product:
through working or processing a maximum content of non-originating materials is not exceeded;
through working or processing the 4-digit Harmonised System heading or 6-digit Harmonised System subheading of the manufactured products becomes different from the 4-digit Harmonised System heading or 6-digit subheading respectively of the materials used;
a specific working or processing operation is carried out;
working or processing is carried out on certain wholly obtained materials.
Note 2 – The structure of the list
2.1. The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The column (1) gives the heading number or chapter number used in the Harmonised System and the column (2) gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in column (3). Where, in some cases, the entry in the column (1) is preceded by an 'ex', this signifies that the rules in column (3) apply only to the part of that heading as described in column (2).
2.2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column (1) or a chapter number is given and the description of products in column (2) is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in column (3) apply to all products which, under the Harmonised System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped together in column (1).
2.3. 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 rules in column (3).
2.4. Where two alternative rules are set out in column (3), separated by 'or', it is at the choice of the exporter which one to use.
Note 3 – Examples of how to apply the rules
3.1. Article 4 of Title II of this Appendix, concerning products having obtained originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether that status has been obtained inside the factory where those products are used or in another factory in a Party.
3.2. Pursuant to Article 6 of Title II of this Appendix, the working or processing carried out must go beyond the list of operations mentioned in that Article. If it does not, the goods shall not qualify for the granting of the benefit of preferential tariff treatment, even if the conditions set out in the list below are met.
Subject to Article 6 of Title II of this Appendix, the rules in the list represent 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 originating status.
Thus, if a rule provides 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.
If a rule provides that non-originating material, at a certain level of manufacture, may not be used, the use of materials at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed, and the use of materials at a later stage is not.
Example: when the list-rule for Chapter 19 requires that 'non-originating materials of headings 1101 to 1108 cannot exceed 20 % weight', the use (i.e. importation) of cereals of Chapter 10 (materials at an earlier stage of manufacture) is not limited.
3.3. Without prejudice to Note 3.2, where a rule uses the expression 'Manufacture from materials of any heading', then materials of any heading(s) (even materials of the same description and heading as the product) may be used, subject, 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 …' or 'Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of the same heading as the product' means that materials of any heading(s) may be used, except those of the same description as the product as given in column (2) of the list.
3.4. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.
3.5. Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy this.
3.6. Where, in a rule in the list, two percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, then those percentages may not be added together. In other words, the maximum value of all the non-originating materials used may never exceed the higher of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages shall not be exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they apply.
Note 4 – General provisions concerning certain agricultural goods
4.1. Agricultural goods falling within Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and heading 2401 which are grown or harvested in the territory of a Party shall be treated as originating in the territory of that Party, even if grown from imported seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds, or other live parts of plants.
4.2. In cases where the content of non-originating sugar in a given product is subject to limitations, the weight of sugars of headings 1701 (sucrose) and 1702 (e.g., fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, isoglucose or invert sugar) used in the manufacture of the final product and used in the manufacture of the non-originating products incorporated in the final product is taken into account for the calculation of such limitations.
Note 5 – Terminology used in respect of certain textile products
5.1. The term 'natural fibres' is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun.
5.2. The term 'natural fibres' includes horsehair of heading 0511 , silk of headings 5002 and 5003 , as well as wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105 , cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203 , and other vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305 .
5.3. 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.
5.4. 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 5501 to 5507 .
5.5. Printing (when combined with Weaving, Knitting/Crocheting, Tufting or Flocking) is defined as a technique by which an objectively assessed function, like colour, design, technical performance, is given to a textile substrate with a permanent character, using screen, roller, digital or transfer techniques.
5.6. Printing (as standalone operation) is defined as a technique by which an objectively assessed function, like colour, design, technical performance, is given to a textile substrate with a permanent character, using screen, roller, digital or transfer techniques combined with at least two preparatory/finishing operations (such as scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, heat setting, raising, calendaring, shrink resistance processing, permanent finishing, decatising, impregnating, mending and burling), provided that the value of all the materials used does not exceed 50 % of the ex-works price of the product.
Note 6 – Tolerances applicable to products made of a mixture of textile materials
6.1. Where, for a given product in the list, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column (3) shall not be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of that product and which, taken together, represent 15 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used (See also Notes 6.3 and 6.4).
6.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 6.1 may be applied only to mixed products which have been made from two or more basic textile materials.
The following are the basic textile materials:
6.3. In the case of products incorporating 'yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped', this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.
6.4. In the case of products 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 a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film', this tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.
Note 7 – Other tolerances applicable to certain textile products
7.1. Where, in the list, reference is made to this Note, textile materials (with the exception of linings and interlinings) which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column (3) for the made-up product 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 15 % of the ex-works price of the product.
7.2. Without prejudice to Note 7.3, materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely in the manufacture of textile products, whether or not they contain textiles.
7.3. Where a percentage rule applies, the value of non-originating materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.
Note 8 – Definition of specific processes and simple operations carried out in respect of certain products of Chapter 27
8.1. For the purposes of headings ex 27 07 and 2713 , the 'specific processes' are the following:
vacuum-distillation;
redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;
cracking;
reforming;
extraction by means of selective solvents;
the process comprising all of the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;
polymerisation;
alkylation;
isomerisation.
8.2. For the purposes of headings 2710 , 2711 and 2712 , the 'specific processes' are the following:
vacuum-distillation;
redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;
cracking;
reforming;
extraction by means of selective solvents;
the process comprising all of the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;
polymerisation;
alkylation;
isomerisation;
in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 27 10 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen, resulting in a reduction of at least 85 % of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);
in respect of products of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;
in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 27 10 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 desulphurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment, with hydrogen, of lubricating oils of heading ex 27 10 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolourisation), in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;
in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 27 10 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 % of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;
in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading ex 27 10 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush discharge;
in respect of crude products (other than petroleum jelly, ozokerite, lignite wax or peat wax, paraffin wax containing by weight less than 0.75 % of oil) of heading ex 27 12 only, de-oiling by fractional crystallisation.
8.3. For the purposes of headings ex 27 07 and 2713 , simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing products with different sulphur contents, or any combination of those operations or like operations, do not confer origin.
Note 9 – Definition of specific processes and operations carried out in respect of certain products
9.1. Products falling within Chapter 30 obtained in a Party by using cell cultures, shall be considered as originating in that Party. 'Cell culture' is defined as the cultivation of human, animal and plant cells under controlled conditions (such as defined temperatures, growth medium, gas mixture, pH) outside a living organism.

ANNEX VI
SUPPLIER'S DECLARATION
The supplier's declaration, the text of which is provided below, must be made out in accordance with the footnotes. However, the footnotes do not have to be reproduced.
SUPPLIER'S DECLARATION
for goods which have undergone working or processing in applying Contracting Parties without having obtained preferential origin status
I, the undersigned, supplier of the goods covered by the annexed document, declare that:
The following materials which do not originate in [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)] have been used in [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)] to produce these goods:
|
Description of the goods supplied (1) |
Description of non-originating materials used |
Heading of non-originating materials used (2) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total value |
|
||
|
(1)
When the invoice, delivery note or other commercial document to which the declaration is annexed relates to different kinds of goods, or to goods which do not incorporate non-originating materials to the same extent, the supplier must clearly differentiate them. Example: The document relates to different models of electric motor of heading 8501 to be used in the manufacture of washing machines of heading 8450. The nature and value of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of those motors differ from one model to another. The models must therefore be differentiated in the first column and the indications in the other columns must be provided separately for each of the models to make it possible for the manufacturer of washing machines to make a correct assessment of the originating status of his products depending on which model of electrical motor he uses.
(2)
The indications requested in those columns should only be given if they are necessary. Examples: The rule for garments of ex Chapter 62 says Weaving combined with making-up including cutting of fabric may be used. If a manufacturer of such garments in an applying Contracting Party uses fabric imported from the European Union which has been obtained there by weaving non-originating yarn, it is sufficient for the European Union supplier to describe in his declaration the non-originating material used as yarn, without it being necessary to indicate the heading and value of such yarn. A producer of iron of heading 7217 who has produced it from non-originating iron bars should indicate in the second column 'bars of iron'. Where this wire is to be used in the production of a machine, for which the rule contains a limitation for all non-originating materials used to a certain percentage value, it is necessary to indicate in the third column the value of non-originating bars.
(3)
'Value of materials' means the customs value at the time of importation of the non-originating materials used, or, if this is not known and cannot be ascertained, the first ascertainable price paid for the materials in [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)]. The exact value for each non-originating material used must be given per unit of the goods specified in the first column. |
|||
All the other materials used in [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)] to produce those goods originate in [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)];
The following goods have undergone working or processing outside [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)] in accordance with Article 13 of this Appendix and have acquired the following total added value there:

'Total added value' shall mean all costs accumulated outside [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)], including the value of all materials added there. The exact total added value acquired outside [indicate the name of the relevant applying Contracting Party(ies)] must be given per unit of the goods specified in the first column. |

DECLARATIONS
Joint declaration by the Contracting Parties concerning Article 4(3) of Protocol No 1
The Contracting Parties acknowledge that the Exchange of Letters of 30 June 1967 between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation relating to the Clock and Watch Agreement shall remain valid and may be invoked if the provisions of this Agreement should cease to apply to products falling within Chapter 91 of the Brussels Nomenclature in accordance with Article 4(3) of Protocol No 1.
Joint declaration by the Contracting Parties concerning transport of goods in transit
The Contracting Parties consider that it is in the common interest that the rates and conditions for the transport of goods
to and from the Community involving transit through Swiss territory; or
to and from Switzerland involving transit through Community territory,
should not involve any discrimination or distortion based on the country of destination of the goods concerned or on the country from which they come and likely to have an adverse effect on the proper functioning of the free movement of these goods.
Declaration concerning workers
In view of the importance of the activities in Switzerland of workers who are nationals of Member States in the context of their reciprocal relations, the Contracting Parties emphasize the common interest they have in matters relating to labour. In this connection, they note with satisfaction the signature in Rome on 22 June 1972 of a document recording the results of the work of the Italian-Swiss Joint Committee.
The Contracting Parties have noted that in the course of that Committee's work important principles were formulated and substantial progress was thereby achieved, the stabilization policy adopted by the Swiss authorities being fully observed; appropriate provisions were adopted to achieve further progress as soon as possible. They noted also that this stabilization goes hand in hand with the implementation of a policy which is designed to introduce progressively as uniform a labour market as possible.
The Contracting Parties are determined, on either side, to promote the introduction of the most satisfactory solutions to these questions of common interest. They declare their willingness to examine together any problems which may arise concerning their workers.
Declaration by the European Economic Community concerning the regional application of certain provisions of the Agreement
The European Economic Community declares that the application of any measures it may take under Articles 23, 24, 25 or 26 of the Agreement, in accordance with the procedure and under the arrangements set out in Article 27, or under Article 28, may be limited to one of its regions by virtue of Community rules.
Declaration by the European Economic Community concerning Article 23(1) of the Agreement
The European Economic Community declares that in the context of the autonomous implementation of Article 23(1) of the Agreement which is incumbent on the Contracting Parties, it will assess any practices contrary to that Article on the basis of criteria arising from the application of the rules of Articles 85, 86, 90 and 92 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community.
