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

(2017/C 73/07)

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 (2) (hereafter referred to as the Convention'), the Par-ties 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, containing identical rules of origin, with all the Parties participating in the acqui-sition 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 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).

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

Table 1 — a simplified overview of cumulation possibilities on 15 December 2016.

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

In Table 1, an 'X' marks the existence between 2 partners of a free trade agreement containing rules of origin allowing cumulation based on pan-Euro-Mediterranean model rules of origin. To use diagonal cumulation with a third partner, an 'X' should be present in all the intersection of the table between the 3 partners.

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 providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreement concerned, in other cases.

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, Turkey 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)' has been added in Table 2.

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

The codes for the Contracting Parties listed in the tables are given here below:
