    DECISION No 1/2005 OF THE EC/DENMARK-FAROE ISLANDS JOINT COMMITTEE

    of 10 November 2005

    amending Protocol 3 to the Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation

    (2006/287/EC)

    THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

    Having regard to the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other part (1), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’ signed in Brussels on 6 December 1996, and in particular Article 34(1) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Protocol 3 to the Agreement provides for the bilateral cumulation of origin between the Community and the Faroe Islands.

    (2)

    The extension of the system of cumulation is desirable making it possible to use materials originating in the Community, Bulgaria, Romania, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), the Faroe Islands, Turkey or in any other country which is a participant in the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, based on the Barcelona Declaration adopted at the Euro-Mediterranean Conference held on 27 and 28 November 1995, in order to develop trade and promote regional integration.

    (3)

    For the purposes of implementing the extended system of cumulation only between the countries which have fulfilled the necessary conditions and in order to avoid circumvention of customs duties, it is necessary to introduce new provisions concerning certification of origin.

    (4)

    For the purposes of implementing the extended system of cumulation and in order to avoid circumvention of customs duties, it is necessary to harmonise the provisions concerning the prohibition of drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties and the processing requirements laid down in Protocol 3 for non-originating materials to obtain originating status and to include an article in the Protocol allowing the Community, in cases of fraud or lack of administrative cooperation, to suspend diagonal cumulation by the Faroe Islands.

    (5)

    The extended system of cumulation of origin implies that the same provisions on rules of origin apply in the context of preferential agreements concluded between the countries concerned.

    (6)

    Goods in transit or storage on the day on which this Decision becomes applicable should be covered by transitional provisions allowing them to benefit from the extended system of cumulation.

    (7)

    Joint Declarations concerning the review and revision of the use of cumulation by the Faroe Islands, and concerning the amendment of the Protocol have to be introduced.

    (8)

    Some technical amendments are required in order to correct anomalies in and between the different language versions of the text.

    (9)

    It is therefore appropriate, for the proper functioning of the Agreement and with a view to facilitating the work of users and customs administrations, to incorporate in a new text of Protocol 3 all the provisions in question,

    HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

    Article 1

    Protocol 3 to the Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, shall be replaced by the text attached hereto, together with the relevant Joint Declarations.

    Article 2

    This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption

    It shall apply from the first day of the month following the day of its adoption.

    Done at Brussels, 10 November 2005.

    For the Joint Committee

    The President

    Article 6

    Sufficiently worked or processed products

    1.   For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained shall be considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the conditions set out in the list in Annex II are fulfilled.

    The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products covered by the Agreement, the working or processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials. It follows that if a product which has acquired originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in the list is used in the manufacture of another product, the conditions applicable to the product in which it is incorporated do not apply to it, and no account shall be taken of the non-originating materials which may have been used in its manufacture.

    2.   Notwithstanding paragraph 1, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list in Annex II, shall not be used in the manufacture of a product may nevertheless be used, provided that:

    (a)

    their total value does not exceed 10 % of the ex-works price of the product;

    (b)

    any of the percentages given in the list for the maximum value of non-originating materials are not exceeded by virtue of this paragraph.

    This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

    3.   Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to the provisions of Article 7.

    Article 7

    Insufficient working or processing

    1.   Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the following operations shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to confer the status of originating products, whether or not the requirements of Article 6 are satisfied:

    (a)

    preserving operations to ensure that the products remain in good condition during transport and storage;

    (b)

    breaking-up and assembly of packages;

    (c)

    washing, cleaning; removal of dust, oxide, oil, paint or other coverings;

    (d)

    ironing or pressing of textiles;

    (e)

    simple painting and polishing operations;

    (f)

    husking, partial or total bleaching, polishing, and glazing of cereals and rice;

    (g)

    operations to colour sugar or form sugar lumps;

    (h)

    peeling, stoning and shelling, of fruits, nuts and vegetables;

    (i)

    sharpening, simple grinding or simple cutting;

    (j)

    sifting, screening, sorting, classifying, grading, matching; (including the making-up of sets of articles);

    (k)

    simple placing in bottles, cans, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards and all other simple packaging operations;

    (l)

    affixing or printing marks, labels, logos and other like distinguishing signs on products or their packaging;

    (m)

    simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds;

    (n)

    simple assembly of parts of articles to constitute a complete article or disassembly of products into parts;

    (o)

    a combination of two or more operations specified in (a) to (n);

    (p)

    slaughter of animals.

    2.   All operations carried out either in the Community or in the Faroe Islands on a given product shall be considered together when determining whether the working or processing undergone by that product is to be regarded as insufficient within the meaning of paragraph 1.

    Article 8

    Unit of qualification

    1.   The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonised System.

    It follows that:

    (a)

    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;

    (b)

    when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading of the Harmonised System, each product must be taken individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol.

    2.   Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonised System, packaging is included with the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of determining origin.

    Article 9

    Accessories, spare parts and tools

    Accessories, spare parts and tools dispatched with a piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle, which are part of the normal equipment and included in the price thereof or which are not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.

    Article 10

    Sets

    Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonised System, shall be regarded as originating when all component products are originating. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall 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, it shall not be necessary to determine the origin of the following which might be used in its manufacture:

    (a)

    energy and fuel;

    (b)

    plant and equipment;

    (c)

    machines and tools;

    (d)

    goods which neither enter into the final composition of the product nor are intended to do so.

    TITLE III

    TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS

    Article 12

    Principle of territoriality

    1.   Except as provided for in Article 2(1)(c), Articles 3 and 4 and paragraph 3 of this Article, the conditions for acquiring originating status set out in Title II must be fulfilled without interruption in the Community or in the Faroe Islands.

    2.   Except as provided for in Articles 3 and 4, where originating goods exported from the Community or from the Faroe Islands to another country return, they must be considered as non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

    (a)

    the returning goods are the same as those exported;

    and

    (b)

    they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them in good condition while in that country or while being exported.

    3.   The acquisition of originating status in accordance with the conditions set out in Title II shall not be affected by working or processing done outside the Community or the Faroe Islands on materials exported from the Community or from the Faroe Islands and subsequently re-imported there, provided:

    (a)

    the said materials are wholly obtained in the Community or in the Faroe Islands or have undergone working or processing beyond the operations referred to in Article 7 prior to being exported;

    and

    (b)

    it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

    (i)

    the re-imported goods have been obtained by working or processing the exported materials;

    and

    (ii)

    the total added value acquired outside the Community or the Faroe Islands by applying the provisions of this Article does not exceed 10 % of the ex-works price of the end product for which originating status is claimed.

    4.   For the purposes of paragraph 3, the conditions for acquiring originating status set out in Title II shall not apply to working or processing done outside the Community or the Faroe Islands. However, where, in the list in Annex II, a rule setting a maximum value for all the non-originating materials incorporated is applied in determining the originating status of the end product, the total value of the non-originating materials incorporated in the territory of the party concerned, taken together with the total added value acquired outside the Community or the Faroe Islands by applying the provisions of this Article, shall not exceed the stated percentage.

    5.   For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, ‘total added value’ shall be taken to mean all costs arising outside the Community or the Faroe Islands, including the value of the materials incorporated there.

    6.   The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products which do not fulfil the conditions set out in the list in Annex II or which can be considered sufficiently worked or processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article 6(2) is applied.

    7.   The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products of Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

    8.   Any working or processing of the kind covered by this Article and done outside the Community or the Faroe Islands shall be done under the outward processing arrangements, or similar arrangements.

    Article 13

    Direct transport

    1.   The preferential treatment provided for under the Agreement applies only to products, satisfying the requirements of this Protocol, which are transported directly between the Community and the Faroe Islands or through the territories of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 with which cumulation is applicable.

    ANNEX I

    INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II

    Note 1:

    The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 6 of the Protocol.

    Note 2:

    2.1.

    		 The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the Harmonised System and the second column 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 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, this signifies that the rules in column 3 or 4 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 or 4 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 or 4.

    2.4.

    		 Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt to apply either the rule set out in column 3 or that set out in column 4. If no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule set out in column 3 is to be applied.

    Note 3:

    3.1.

    		 The provisions of Article 6 of the Protocol, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in a contracting party.

    Example:

    An engine of heading 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40 % of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging’ of heading ex 7224.

    If this forging has been forged in the Community from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule for heading ex 7224 in the list. The forging can then count as originating in the value-calculation for the engine, regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the Community. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used.

    3.2.

    		 The rule in the list represents 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.

    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.

    Example:

    The rule for fabrics of headings 5208 to 5212 provides that natural fibres may be used and that chemical materials, among other materials, may also be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; it is possible to use one or the other, or both.

    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 the rule. (See also Note 6.2 in relation to textiles).

    Example:

    The rule for prepared foods of heading 1904, which specifically excludes the use of cereals and their derivatives, does not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not products from cereals.

    However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture.

    Example:

    In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 made from non-woven materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth — even if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting material would normally be at the stage before yarn — that is, the fibre stage.

    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 these 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 must not be exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they apply.

    Note 4:

    4.1.

    		 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.

    4.2.

    		 The term ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 0503, 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.

    4.3.

    		 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.

    4.4.

    		 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.

    Note 5:

    5.1.

    		 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 this product and which, taken together, represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4.)

    5.2.

    		 However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 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:

    —

    silk,

    —

    wool,

    —

    coarse animal hair,

    —

    fine animal hair,

    —

    horsehair,

    —

    cotton,

    —

    paper-making materials and paper,

    —

    flax,

    —

    true hemp,

    —

    jute and other textile bast fibres,

    —

    sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,

    —

    coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,

    —

    synthetic man-made filaments,

    —

    artificial man-made filaments,

    —

    current-conducting filaments,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(phenylene sulphide),

    —

    synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(vinyl chloride),

    —

    other synthetic man-made staple fibres,

    —

    artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,

    —

    other artificial man-made staple fibres,

    —

    yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped,

    —

    yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped,

    —

    products of heading 5605 (metallised yarn) 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,

    —

    other products of heading 5605.

    Example:

    A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the origin-rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the yarn.

    Example:

    A woollen fabric, of heading 5112, made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp), or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning), or a combination of the two, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the fabric.

    Example:

    Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802, made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210, is a only mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.

    Example:

    If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accordingly, a mixed product.

    5.3.

    		 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.

    5.4.

    		 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 6:

    6.1.

    		 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 8 % of the ex-works price of the product.

    6.2.

    		 Without prejudice to Note 6.3, 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.

    Example:

    If a rule in the list provides that, for a particular textile item (such as trousers), yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners, even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.

    6.3.

    		 Where a percentage rule applies, the value of 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 7:

    7.1.

    		 For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:

    (a)

    vacuum-distillation;

    (b)

    redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

    (c)

    cracking;

    (d)

    reforming;

    (e)

    extraction by means of selective solvents;

    (f)

    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;

    (g)

    polymerisation;

    (h)

    alkylation;

    (i)

    isomerisation.

    7.2.

    		 For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:

    (a)

    vacuum-distillation;

    (b)

    redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

    (c)

    cracking;

    (d)

    reforming;

    (e)

    extraction by means of selective solvents;

    (f)

    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;

    (g)

    polymerisation;

    (h)

    alkylation;

    (ij)

    isomerisation;

    (k)

    in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 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);

    (l)

    in respect of products of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;

    (m)

    in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 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 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolourisation), in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

    (n)

    in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 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;

    (o)

    in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush discharge;

    (p)

    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 2712 only, de-oiling by fractional crystallisation.

    7.3.

    		 For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, 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 these operations or like operations, do not confer origin.

    JOINT DECLARATION

    concerning the review and the revision of the management of Protocol 3 to the Agreement by the Faroe Islands

    The Contracting Parties agree to review, at the request of the Community and at least every two years the operation of the diagonal cumulation as laid down in Articles 3 and 4 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement and to revise the provisions of these articles as appropriate.

    JOINT DECLARATION

    concerning the amendment of the Protocol in the framework of the system of diagonal cumulation resulting from Articles 3 and 4 of the Protocol on Origin

    Whereas this Protocol is part of a system of diagonal cumulation of origin referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of the Protocol,

    Whereas the operation of such a system relies on a network of protocols on rules of origin, identical between all parties taking part in the cumulation,

    Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark participates, as a Member State of the European Union and pursuant to Article 133 of the EC Treaty, in the adoption by the Council of common positions prior to decisions by the bodies responsible for the amendment of those protocols,

    It is noted that the Faroe Islands and the Government of Denmark agree to accept, in the Joint Committee, any amendment of this Protocol presented by the Community and intended to align the provisions of the Protocol on those resulting from amendments of the ‘origin’ protocols of agreements concluded by the Community with the other parties in the system of cumulation referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of this Protocol.

    The Faroe Islands also undertake to amend in the same way the protocols of agreements which they have signed with the other parties in the system of cumulation referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of this Protocol.

    The Community and the Kingdom of Denmark undertake to inform the Faroe Islands of any negotiations with a view to amending the ‘origin’ protocols of agreements concluded by the Community with the other parties in the system of cumulation referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of this Protocol and to notify to them the amendments adopted.
