The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia presents its compliments to the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey and has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the esteemed Embassy’s Note no. 320/139, dated 5 December 2001, regarding Additional Protocol No. 2 to the Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Turkey.
The Slovene Party agrees with the proposed Additional Protocol No. 2 (encl.) and considers it as concluded on 5 December 2001.

ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL 2
AMENDING PROTOCOL 3 CONCERNING THE DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF THE
“ORIGINATING PRODUCTS“ AND METHODS
OF ADMINISTRATIVE CO-OPERATION
The Parties;
Having regard to the Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Turkey, signed on 5 May 1998 in Ankara, in particular Article 39 thereof, and having regard of the Joint Declarations on Article 4 and Article 15 of Protocol 3 annexed to the Agreement,
Recognising that Protocol 3 of the Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative co-operation, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Protocol’ has been amended several times since its entry into force. A consolidation of those amendments to the text of the Protocol therefore appears necessary for the sake of clarity and legal certainty of the rules of origin to be applied,
Having in mind that technical modifications of the processing rules are also required to take account of modifications to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (“Harmonized System”) which take effect from 1 January 2002,
Taking into account that certain processing requirements for non-originating materials to obtain originating status need to be amended to take account of the lack of production of a certain material within the contracting parties and of the specific conditions in which some products are to be obtained, implying limited processing operations outside the contracting parties,
Having in mind that some technical amendments are required in order to correct anomalies in and between the different language versions of the text,
Recognising that it is therefore appropriate, for the proper functioning of the Agreement and with a view to facilitate the work of users and customs administrations, to incorporate in a new text of the Protocol all the provisions in question,
Taking into account that possible amendments which could be made following the reexamination by the EU Council of consolidated text of Protocol on Rules of Origin will be reflected on Protocol 3 by an exchange of letters between the Parties,
HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Protocol 3 of the Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative co-operation, shall be replaced by the text attached hereto, together with the Joint Declaration.
Article 2
This Additional Protocol shall constitute an integral part of the Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Turkey.
Article 3
This Additional Protocol shall be applied from 1 January 2002 and shall enter into force on the date of a receipt of the latter diplomatic note confirming that all internal legal procedures of the respective Party for the entry into force of this Additional Protocol have been completed.

TITLE II
DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF “ORIGINATING PRODUCTS“
Article 2
General requirements
For the purpose of implementing this Agreement, the following products shall be considered as originating in a Party:
(a) products wholly obtained in that Party within the meaning of Article 5;
(b) products obtained in that 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 6;
Article 3
Cumulation in Slovenia
1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, products shall be considered as originating in Slovenia if such products are obtained there, incorporating materials originating in Bulgaria, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein)(*1), the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, Turkey or in the Community(*2) in accordance with the provisions of the Protocol on rules of origin annexed to the Agreements between Slovenia and each of these countries, provided that the working or processing carried out in Slovenia goes beyond the operations referred to in Article 7. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing.
2. Where the working or processing carried out in Slovenia does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 7, the product obtained shall be considered as originating in Slovenia only where the value added there is greater than the value of the materials used originating in any one of the other countries referred to in paragraph 1. If this is not so, the product obtained shall be considered as originating in the country which accounts for the highest value of originating materials used in the manufacture in Slovenia.
3. Products, originating in one of the countries referred to in paragraph 1, which do not undergo any working or processing in Slovenia, retain their origin if exported into one of these countries.
4. The cumulation provided for in this Article may only be applied to materials and products which have acquired originating status by the application of rules of origin identical to those given in this Protocol.
Article 4
Cumulation in Turkey
1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, products shall be considered as originating in Turkey if such products are obtained there, incorporating materials originating in Bulgaria, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein)(*1), the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, Turkey or in the Community(*2) in accordance with the provisions of the Protocol on rules of origin annexed to the Agreements between Turkey and each of these countries, provided that the working or processing carried out in Turkey goes beyond the operations referred to in Article 7. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing.
2. Where the working or processing carried out in Turkey does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 7, the product obtained shall be considered as originating in Turkey only where the value added there is greater than the value of the materials used originating in any one of the other countries referred to in paragraph 1. If this is not so, the product obtained shall be considered as originating in the country which accounts for the highest value of originating materials used in the manufacture in Turkey.
3. Products, originating in one of the countries referred to in paragraph 1, which do not undergo any working or processing in Turkey, retain their origin if exported into one of these countries.
4. The cumulation provided for in this Article may only be applied to materials and products which have acquired originating status by the application of rules of origin identical to those given in this Protocol.
Article 5
Wholly obtained products
1. The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in a Party:
(a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed;
(b) vegetable products harvested there;
(c) live animals born and raised there;
(d) products from live animals raised there;
(e) products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there;
(f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea outside the territorial waters of a Party by their vessels;
(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in (f);
(h) used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw materials, including used tyres fit only for retreading or for use as waste;
(i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;
(j) products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil;
(k) goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in (a) to (j).
2. The terms “their vessels“ and “their factory ships“ in paragraph 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships:
(a) which are registered or recorded in a Party;
(b) which sail under the flag of that Party;
(c) which are owned to an extent of at least 50 per cent by nationals of that Party, or by a company with its head office in one of the Parties, of which the manager or managers, Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board, and the majority of the members of such boards are nationals of that Party and of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to that Party or to public bodies or nationals of the that Party;
(d) of which the master and officers are nationals of that Party;
and
(e) of which at least 75 per cent of the crew are nationals of that Party.
Article 6
Sufficiently worked or processed products
1. For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained are 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, should not be used in the manufacture of a product may nevertheless be used, provided that:
(a) their total value does not exceed 10 per cent 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 through the application of this paragraph.
This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized 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 in a Party 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 Harmonized System.
It follows that:
(a) when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the terms of the Harmonized 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 Harmonized System, each product must be taken individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol.
2. Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonized 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 Harmonized 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 per cent of the ex-works price of the set.
Article 11
Neutral elements
In order to determine whether a product originates, 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 do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.
TITLE III
TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS
Article 12
Principle of territoriality
1. Except as provided for in 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 one of the Parties.
2. Except as provided for in Articles 3 and 4, where originating goods exported from one of the Parties 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 Parties on materials exported from one of the Parties and subsequently re-imported there, provided:
(a) the said materials are wholly obtained in one of the Parties 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 Parties by applying the provisions of this Article does not exceed 10 per cent 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 Parties. But 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 Parties 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 Parties, 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 Harmonized System
8. Any working or processing of the kind covered by the provisions of this Article and done outside the Parties 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 Parties or through the territories of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4. However, products constituting one single consignment may be transported through other territories with, should the occasion arise, trans-shipment or temporary warehousing in such territories, provided that they remain under the surveillance of the customs authorities in the country of transit or warehousing and do not undergo operations other than unloading, reloading or any operation designed to preserve them in good condition.
Originating products may be transported by pipeline across territory other than that of the Parties.
2. Evidence that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have been fulfilled shall be supplied to the customs authorities of the importing country by the production of:
(a) a single transport document covering the passage from the exporting country through the country of transit; or
(b) a certificate issued by the customs authorities of the country of transit:
(i) giving an exact description of the products;
(ii) stating the dates of unloading and reloading of the products and, where applicable, the names of the ships, or the other means of transport used;
and
(iii) certifying the conditions under which the products remained in the transit country; or
(c) failing these, any substantiating documents.
Article 14
Exhibitions
1. Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other than those referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and sold after the exhibition for importation in a Party shall benefit on importation from the provisions of the Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
(a) an exporter has consigned these products from a Party to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there;
(b) the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to a person in a Party;
(c) the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent for exhibition;

2. A proof of origin must be issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Title V and submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country in the normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the conditions under which they have been exhibited may be required.
3. Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhibition, fair or similar public show or display which is not organised for private purposes in shops or business premises with a view to the sale of foreign products, and during which the products remain under customs control.
TITLE IV
DRAWBACK OR EXEMPTION
Article 15
Prohibition of drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties
1. Non-originating materials used in the manufacture of products originating in a Party or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 for which a proof of origin is issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Title V shall not be subject in that Party to drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties of whatever kind.
2. The prohibition in paragraph 1 shall apply to any arrangement for refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, applicable in a Party to materials used in the manufacture, where such refund, remission or non-payment applies, expressly or in effect, when products obtained from the said materials are exported and not when they are retained for home use there.
3. The exporter of products covered by a proof of origin shall be prepared to submit at any time, upon request from the customs authorities, all appropriate documents proving that no drawback has been obtained in respect of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the products concerned and that all customs duties or charges having equivalent effect applicable to such materials have actually been paid.
4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 3 shall also apply in respect of packaging within the meaning of Article 8(2), accessories, spare parts and tools within the meaning of Article 9 and products in a set within the meaning of Article 10 when such items are non-originating.
5. The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 4 shall apply only in respect of materials which are of the kind to which the Agreement applies. Furthermore, they shall not preclude the application of an export refund system for agricultural products, applicable upon export in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
TITLE V
PROOF OF ORIGIN
Article 16

(b) in the cases specified in Article 21(1), a declaration, subsequently referred to as the “invoice declaration“, given by the exporter on an invoice, a delivery note or any other commercial document which describes the products concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified; the text of the invoice declaration appears in Annex IV.
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, originating products within the meaning of this Protocol shall, in the cases specified in Article 26, benefit from the Agreement without it being necessary to submit any of the documents referred to above.

They shall also ensure that the forms referred to in paragraph 2 are duly completed. In particular, they shall check whether the space reserved for the description of the products has been completed in such a manner as to exclude all possibility of fraudulent additions.
6. The date of issue of the movement certificate EUR.1 shall be indicated in Box 11 of the certificate.
7. A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities and made available to the exporter as soon as actual exportation has been effected or ensured.
Article 18

1. Notwithstanding Article 17(7), a movement certificate EUR.1 may exceptionally be issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if:
(a) it was not issued at the time of exportation because of errors or involuntary omissions or special circumstances;
or
(b) it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that a movement certificate EUR.1 was issued but was not accepted at importation for technical reasons.
2. For the implementation of paragraph 1, the exporter must indicate in his application the place and date of exportation of the products to which the movement certificate EUR.1 relates, and state the reasons for his request.
3. The customs authorities may issue a movement certificate EUR.1 retrospectively only after verifying that the information supplied in the exporter’s application agrees with that in the corresponding file.
4. Movement certificates EUR.1 issued retrospectively must be endorsed with one of the following phrases:
EN “ISSUED RETROSPECTIVELY“
SL “IZDANO NAKNADNO“
TR “SONRADAN VERĺLMISTĺR”
5. The endorsement referred to in paragraph 4 shall be inserted in the “Remarks“ box of the movement certificate EUR.1.
Article 19
Issue of a duplicate movement certificate EUR.1
1. In the event of theft, loss or destruction of a movement certificate EUR.1, the exporter may apply to the customs authorities which issued it for a duplicate made out on the basis of the export documents in their possession.
2. The duplicate issued in this way must be endorsed with one of the following words:
EN “DUPLICATE “
SL “DVOJNIK“.
TR “ĺKĺNCĺ NŰSHADIR”
3. The endorsement referred to in paragraph 2 shall be inserted in the “Remarks“ box of the duplicate movement certificate EUR.1.
4. The duplicate, which must bear the date of issue of the original movement certificate EUR.1, shall take effect as from that date.
Article 20
Issue of movement certificates EUR.1 on the basis of aproof of origin issued or made out previously
When originating products are placed under the control of a customs office in a Party, it shall be possible to replace the original proof of origin by one or more movement certificates EUR.1 for the purpose of sending all or some of these products elsewhere within one of the Parties. The replacement movement certificate(s) EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs office under whose control the products are placed.
Article 20a
Accounting segregation
1. Where considerable cost or material difficulties arise in keeping separate stocks of originating and non-originating materials which are identical and interchangeable, the customs authorities may, at the written request of those concerned, authorise the so-called “accounting segregation“ method to be used for managing such stocks.
2. This method must be able to ensure that, for a specific reference-period, the number of products obtained which could be considered as “originating“ is the same as that which would have been obtained if there had been physical segregation of the stocks.
3. The customs authorities may grant such authorisation, subject to any conditions deemed appropriate.
4. This method is recorded and applied on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the country where the product was manufactured.
5. The beneficiary of this facilitation may issue or apply for proofs of origin, as the case may be, for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating. At the request of the customs authorities, the beneficiary shall provide a statement of how the quantities have been managed.
6. The customs authorities shall monitor the use made of the authorisation and may withdraw it at any time whenever the beneficiary makes improper use of the authorisation in any manner whatsoever or fails to fulfil any of the other conditions laid down in this Protocol.
Article 21
Conditions for making out an invoice declaration
1. An invoice declaration as referred to in Article 16(1)(b) may be made out:
(a) by an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 22,
or
(b) by any exporter for any consignment consisting of one or more packages containing originating products whose total value does not exceed EUR 6,000.
2. An invoice declaration may be made out if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in a Party or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol.
3. The exporter making out an invoice declaration shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorities of the exporting country, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.
4. An invoice declaration shall be made out by the exporter by typing, stamping or printing on the invoice, the delivery note or another commercial document, the declaration, the text of which appears in Annex IV, using one of the linguistic versions set out in that Annex and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic law of the exporting country. If the declaration is hand-written, it shall be written in ink in printed characters.
5. Invoice declarations shall bear the original signature of the exporter in manuscript. However, an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 22 shall not be required to sign such declarations provided that he gives the customs authorities of the exporting country a written undertaking that he accepts full responsibility for any invoice declaration which identifies him as if it had been signed in manuscript by him.
6. An invoice declaration may be made out by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation on condition that it is presented in the importing country no longer than two years after the importation of the products to which it relates.
Article 22
Approved exporter
1. The customs authorities of the exporting country may authorise any exporter, hereinafter referred to as ‘approved exporter’, who makes frequent shipments of products under this Agreement to make out invoice declarations irrespective of the value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking such authorisation must offer to the satisfaction of the customs authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.
2. The customs authorities may grant the status of approved exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appropriate.
3. The customs authorities shall grant to the approved exporter a customs authorisation number which shall appear on the invoice declaration.
4. The customs authorities shall monitor the use of the authorisation by the approved exporter.
5. The customs authorities may withdraw the authorisation at any time. They shall do so where the approved exporter no longer offers the guarantees referred to in paragraph 1, no longer fulfils the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise makes an incorrect use of the authorisation.
Article 23
Validity of proof of origin
1. A proof of origin shall be valid for four months from the date of issue in the exporting country, and must be submitted within the said period to the customs authorities of the importing country.
2. Proofs of origin which are submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to submit these documents by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances.
3. In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing country may accept the proofs of origin where the products have been submitted before the said final date.
Article 24
Submission of proof of origin
Proofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country in accordance with the procedures applicable in that country. The said authorities may require a translation of a proof of origin and may also require the import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required for the implementation of the Agreement.
Article 25
Importation by instalments
Where, at the request of the importer and on the conditions laid down by the customs authorities of the importing country, dismantled or non-assembled products within the meaning of General Rule 2(a) of the Harmonized System falling within Sections XVI and XVII or headings 7308 and 9406 of the Harmonized System are imported by instalments, a single proof of origin for such products shall be submitted to the customs authorities upon importation of the first instalment.
Article 26
Exemptions from proof of origin
1. Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming part of travellers’ personal luggage shall be admitted as originating products without requiring the submission of a proof of origin, provided that such products are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of this Protocol and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In the case of products sent by post, this declaration can be made on the customs declaration CN22/CN23 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document.
2. Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view.
3. Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed EUR 500 in the case of small packages or EUR 1,200 in the case of products forming part of travellers’ personal luggage.
Article 27
Supporting documents
The documents referred to in Articles 17(3) and 21(3) used for the purpose of proving that products covered by a movement certificate EUR.1 or an invoice declaration can be considered as products originating in a Party or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol may consist inter alia of the following:
(a) direct evidence of the processes carried out by the exporter or supplier to obtain the goods concerned, contained for example in his accounts or internal book-keeping;
(b) documents proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in one of the Parties where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law;
(c) documents proving the working or processing of materials in one of the Parties, issued or made out in that Party, where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law;
(d) movement certificates EUR.1 or invoice declarations proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in one of the Parties in accordance with this Protocol, or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4, in accordance with rules of origin which are identical to the rules in this Protocol.
Article 28
Preservation of proof of origin and supporting
documents
1. The exporter applying for the issue of a movement certificate EUR.1 shall keep for at least three years the documents referred to in Article 17(3).
2. The exporter making out an invoice declaration shall keep for at least three years a copy of this invoice declaration as well as the documents referred to in Article 21(3).
3. The customs authorities of the exporting country issuing a movement certificate EUR.1 shall keep for at least three years the application form referred to in Article 17(2).
4. The customs authorities of the importing country shall keep for at least three years the movement certificates EUR.1 and the invoice declarations submitted to them.
Article 29
Discrepancies and formal errors
1. The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the proof of origin and those made in the documents submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto render the proof of origin null and void if it is duly established that this document does correspond to the products submitted.
2. Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should not cause this document to be rejected if these errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in this document.
Article 30
Amounts expressed in euro
1. For the application of the provisions of Article 21(1)(b) and Article 26(3) in cases where products are invoiced in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national currencies of the Parties and of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 equivalent to the amounts expressed in euro shall be fixed annually by each of the countries concerned.
2. A consignment shall benefit from the provisions of Article 21(1)(b) or Article 26(3) by reference to the currency in which the invoice is drawn up, according to the amount fixed by the country concerned.
3. The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that currency of the amounts expressed in euro as at the first working day of October and shall apply from 1 January the following year. The Parties shall be notified of the relevant amounts.
4. A country may round up or down the amount resulting from the conversion into its national currency of an amount expressed in euro. The rounded-off amount may not differ from the amount resulting from the conversion by more than 5 per cent. A country may retain unchanged its national currency equivalent of an amount expressed in euro if, at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 3, the conversion of that amount, prior to any rounding-off, results in an increase of less than 15 per cent in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equivalent may be retained unchanged if the conversion would result in a decrease in that equivalent value.
5. The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the Joint Committee at the request of any of the Parties. When carrying out this review, the Joint Committee shall consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in euro.
TITLE VI
ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
CO-OPERATION
Article 31
Mutual assistance
1. The customs authorities of the Parties shall provide each other with specimen impressions of stamps used in their customs offices for the issue of movement certificates EUR.1 and with the addresses of the customs authorities responsible for verifying those certificates and invoice declarations.
2. In order to ensure the proper application of this Protocol, the Parties shall assist each other, through the competent customs administrations, in checking the authenticity of the movement certificates EUR.1 or the invoice declarations and the correctness of the information given in these documents.
Article 32
Verification of proofs of origin
1. Subsequent verifications of proofs of origin shall be carried out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the importing country have reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of such documents, the originating status of the products concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.
2. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs authorities of the importing country shall return the movement certificate EUR.1 and the invoice, if it has been submitted, the invoice declaration, or a copy of these documents, to the customs authorities of the exporting country giving, where appropriate, the reasons for the enquiry. Any documents and information obtained suggesting that the information given on the proof of origin is incorrect shall be forwarded in support of the request for verification.
3. The verification shall be carried out by the customs authorities of the exporting country. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter’s accounts or any other check considered appropriate.
4. If the customs authorities of the importing country decide to suspend the granting of preferential treatment to the products concerned while awaiting the results of the verification, release of the products shall be offered to the importer subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary.
5. The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of this verification as soon as possible. These results must indicate clearly whether the documents are authentic and whether the products concerned can be considered as products originating in a Party or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol.
6. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months of the date of the verification request or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products, the requesting customs authorities shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferences.
Article 33
Dispute settlement
Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 32 which cannot be settled between the customs authorities requesting a verification and the customs authorities responsible for carrying out this verification or where they raise a question as to the interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be submitted to the Joint Committee.
In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of the importing country shall be under the legislation of the said country.
Article 34
Penalties
Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes to be drawn up, a document which contains incorrect information for the purpose of obtaining a preferential treatment for products.
Article 35
Free zones
1. The Parties shall take all necessary steps to ensure that products traded under cover of a proof of origin which in the course of transport use a free zone situated in their territory, are not substituted by other goods and do not undergo handling other than normal operations designed to prevent their deterioration.
2. By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products originating in a Party are imported into a free zone under cover of a proof of origin and undergo treatment or processing, the authorities concerned shall issue a new movement certificate EUR.1 at the exporter’s request, if the treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this Protocol.
TITLE VII
FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 36

It shall be composed of experts from both Parties responsible for questions related to customs and origin matters.
Article 37
Amendments to the Protocol
The Joint Committee may decide to amend the provisions of this Protocol.
(*1) The Principality of Liechtenstein has a customs union with Switzerland, and is a Contracting Party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

(*2) Cumulation as provided for in this Article does not apply to materials originating in the European Community which are mentioned in the list at Annex V.
                                     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 Harmonized
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 Harmonized 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, as an alternative, 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 the Parties.
    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 per cent 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 a Party 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 a Party. 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 obviously does not prevent the use of
other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule.
(See also Note 6.2 below 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 per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile
materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below.)
    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 per cent 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 per cent 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 per cent 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 per
cent 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 per cent 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 per cent 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;

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 per cent of these products distils, by volume,
including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;

DODATNI PROTOKOL 2,
S KATERIM SE SPREMINJA PROTOKOL 3
O OPREDELITVI POJMA “IZDELKI S POREKLOM“ IN NAČINIH UPRAVNEGA
SODELOVANJA
Pogodbenici sta
ob upoštevanju Sporazuma o prosti trgovini med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Turčijo, podpisanega v Ankari 5. maja 1998, in še posebej njegovega 39. člena, ter ob upoštevanju skupnih izjav v zvezi s 4. in 15. členom protokola 3, ki je priložen sporazumu,
glede na to, da je bil protokol 3 k sporazumu o opredelitvi pojma “izdelki s poreklom“ in načinih upravnega sodelovanja, v nadaljevanju “protokol“, od začetka njegove veljavnosti večkrat spremenjen. Združitev teh sprememb besedila protokola je zato potrebna zaradi jasnosti in pravne varnosti pri uporabi pravil o poreklu blaga,
ob upoštevanju, da so tehnične spremembe pravil za postopke predelave potrebne tudi zaradi upoštevanja sprememb Harmoniziranega sistema poimenovanja in šifrskih oznak blaga (“harmonizirani sistem“), ki začnejo veljati 1. januarja 2002,
glede na to, da je treba določene zahteve v postopkih predelave za material brez porekla za pridobitev statusa blaga s poreklom spremeniti, zato da bi se upoštevali pomanjkanje proizvodnje nekega materiala v pogodbenicah in posebni pogoji, pod katerimi je treba pridobiti nekatere izdelke, kar pomeni omejene postopke predelave zunaj pogodbenic,
glede na to, da so nekatere tehnične spremembe potrebne, zato da se popravijo nepravilnosti v različnih jezikovnih različicah besedila in med njimi,
ob upoštevanju, da je zato primerno, da se za pravilno delovanje sporazuma in zaradi olajšanja dela uporabnikov in carinskih uprav vse take določbe vključijo v novo besedilo protokola,
ob upoštevanju, da se bodo spremembe, ki bodo morda narejene, potem ko bo Svet EU ponovno pregledal prečiščeno besedilo protokola o pravilih o poreklu, izrazile tudi v protokolu 3 z izmenjavo pisem med pogodbenicama,
SKLENILI:
1. člen
Protokol 3 sporazuma o opredelitvi pojma “izdelki s poreklom“ in načinih upravnega sodelovanja se nadomesti s priloženim besedilom skupaj s Skupno izjavo.
2. člen
Ta dodatni protokol je sestavni del Sporazuma o prosti trgovini med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Turčijo.
3. člen
Ta dodatni protokol se uporablja od 1. januarja 2002 in začne veljati z datumom prejema zadnje diplomatske note, ki potrjuje, da so končani vsi notranjepravni postopki te pogodbenice za začetek veljavnosti tega dodatnega protokola.

8. člen
Enota kvalifikacije
1. Enota kvalifikacije za uporabo določb tega protokola je določen izdelek, ki se šteje za osnovno enoto, kadar se določa uvrstitev blaga pri uporabi nomenklature harmoniziranega sistema.
Iz tega sledi:
(a) kadar se izdelek, ki ga sestavlja skupina predmetov ali je sestavljen iz izdelkov, uvršča po pogojih harmoniziranega sistema v eno tarifno številko, potem celota pomeni enoto kvalifikacije;
(b) kadar je pošiljka sestavljena iz določenega števila enakih izdelkov, ki se uvrščajo v enako tarifno številko harmoniziranega sistema, je treba pri uporabi določb tega protokola vsak izdelek obravnavati posebej.
2. Če je v skladu s petim temeljnim pravilom harmoniziranega sistema embalaža vključena v izdelek zaradi uvrščanja, mora biti vključena tudi pri določanju porekla.
9. člen
Dodatki, nadomestni deli in orodje
Dodatki, nadomestni deli in orodje, poslani skupaj z delom opreme, stroja, naprave ali vozila, ki so del običajne opreme in so vključeni v njeno ceno ali pa niso posebej zaračunani, se štejejo za del te opreme, stroja, naprave ali vozila.
10. člen
Garniture
Garniture se v skladu s tretjim temeljnim pravilom harmoniziranega sistema štejejo za garniture s poreklom, kadar imajo poreklo vsi njihovi sestavni deli. Kljub temu pa se takrat, kadar je garnitura sestavljena iz izdelkov s poreklom in brez njega, šteje, da ima garnitura kot celota poreklo, če vrednost izdelkov brez porekla ne presega 15 odstotkov cene garniture franko tovarna.
11. člen
Nevtralne sestavine
Da bi določili, ali ima izdelek poreklo, ni treba ugotavljati porekla za navedeno, kar bi lahko bilo uporabljeno pri njegovi izdelavi:
(a) energija in gorivo,
(b) naprave in oprema,
(c) stroji in orodje,
(d) blago, ki ni vključeno ali ni namenjeno za vključitev v končno sestavo izdelka.

12. člen
Načelo teritorialnosti
1. Razen v primerih iz 3. in 4. člena in tretjega odstavka tega člena morajo biti pogoji za pridobitev statusa blaga s poreklom, določeni v II. oddelku, brez prekinitve izpolnjeni v eni od pogodbenic.
2. Razen v primerih iz 3. in 4. člena se blago s poreklom, izvoženo iz ene od pogodbenic v drugo državo, ob vrnitvi šteje za blago brez porekla, razen če se carinskim organom lahko zadovoljivo dokaže:
(a) da je blago, ki se vrača, isto blago, kot je bilo izvoženo,
in
(b) da na njem, medtem ko je bilo v tisti državi ali med izvozom, niso bili opravljeni nikakršni postopki, razen tistih, ki so potrebni, da se ohrani v dobrem stanju.
3. Na pridobitev statusa blaga s poreklom v skladu s pogoji, določenimi v II. oddelku, ne vpliva obdelava ali predelava, opravljena zunaj pogodbenic na materialih, izvoženih iz ene od pogodbenic in tja ponovno uvoženih, če:
(a) so omenjeni materiali v celoti pridobljeni v eni od pogodbenic ali so bili pred njihovim izvozom obdelani ali predelani bolj, kot zahtevajo postopki, omenjeni v 7. členu,

Ločeno knjigovodsko izkazovanje
1. Če pri ločenem skladiščenju zalog materialov s poreklom in materialov brez porekla, ki so enaki ali med seboj zamenljivi, nastanejo precejšnje stroškovne ali materialne težave, lahko carinski organi na pisno zahtevo prizadetih strank za vodenje teh zalog dovolijo tako imenovano metodo “ločenega knjigovodskega izkazovanja“.

5. Izjave na računu morajo imeti izvirni lastnoročni podpis izvoznika. Vendar se od pooblaščenega izvoznika v smislu 22. člena ne zahteva, da podpisuje take izjave, če se carinskim organom države izvoznice pisno zaveže, da sprejema polno odgovornost za vsako izjavo na računu, po kateri ga je mogoče prepoznati, kot da jo je lastnoročno podpisal.
6. Izvoznik lahko da izjavo na računu ob izvozu izdelkov, na katere se nanaša, ali po izvozu, če je predložena carinskim organom v državi uvoznici najkasneje v dveh letih po uvozu izdelkov, na katere se nanaša.
22. člen
Pooblaščeni izvoznik
1. Carinski organi države izvoznice lahko pooblastijo katerega koli izvoznika, v nadaljevanju “pooblaščenega izvoznika“, ki pogosto pošilja izdelke po tem sporazumu, da daje izjave na računu ne glede na vrednost izdelkov, na katere se nanaša.

Če se izdelki pošiljajo po pošti, se izjava lahko napiše na carinsko deklaracijo CN22/CN23 ali na list papirja, ki se priloži temu dokumentu.
2. Občasni uvoz, pri katerem gre le za izdelke za osebno uporabo prejemnikov ali potnikov ali njihovih družin, se ne šteje za uvoz v trgovinske namene, če je iz narave in količine izdelkov razvidno, da niso namenjeni za trgovanje.
3. Poleg tega skupna vrednost teh izdelkov ne sme presegati 500 evrov pri majhnih paketih ali 1.200 evrov pri izdelkih, ki so del osebne prtljage potnikov.

Če so ugotovljene manjše razlike med navedbami na dokazilu o poreklu in tistimi na dokumentih, ki so bili predloženi carinskemu uradu zaradi izpolnjevanja uvoznih formalnosti za izdelke, to še ne pomeni ničnosti omenjenega dokazila, če se pravilno ugotovi, da ta dokument ustreza predloženim izdelkom.
2. Očitne oblikovne napake, kot so npr. tipkarske, na dokazilu o poreklu ne morejo biti razlog za zavrnitev, če te napake ne ustvarjajo dvomov o pravilnosti navedb v tem dokumentu.

Zneski, izraženi v evrih
1. Za uporabo določb iz točke (b) prvega odstavka 21. člena in tretjega odstavka 26. člena v primerih, ko se izda račun v drugi valuti kot evro, vsako leto vsaka od teh držav določi zneske v nacionalni valuti pogodbenic in drugih držav, omenjenih v 3. in 4. členu, ki ustrezajo zneskom, izraženim v evrih.
2. Za pošiljko se lahko uveljavljajo ugodnosti v skladu s točko (b) prvega odstavka 21. člena ali tretjim odstavkom 26. člena s sklicevanjem na valuto, v kateri je izdan račun, glede na znesek, ki ga je določila ta država.

4. Država lahko zaokroži znesek, ki ga dobi pri preračunavanju v evrih izraženega zneska v nacionalno valuto, navzgor ali navzdol. Zaokroženi znesek se od zneska, ki se dobi pri preračunu, ne sme razlikovati za več kot 5 odstotkov. Država lahko obdrži nespremenjeno protivrednost v nacionalni valuti zneska, izraženega v evrih, če je ob letni uskladitvi iz tretjega odstavka preračun tega zneska pred kakršno koli zaokrožitvijo večji za manj kot 15 odstotkov protivrednosti v nacionalni valuti. Protivrednost v nacionalni valuti se lahko zadrži nespremenjena, če bi preračun povzročil zmanjšanje te protivrednosti.
5. Skupni odbor na zahtevo katere koli pogodbenice pregleda v evrih izražene zneske. Skupni odbor pri tem upošteva zaželeno ohranjanje realnih učinkov teh vrednostnih omejitev. V ta namen se lahko odloči za spremembo zneskov, izraženih v evrih.

4. Če se carinski organi države uvoznice odločijo, da bodo začasno prenehali priznavati preferencialno obravnavo za te izdelke, medtem ko čakajo na izide preverjanja, morajo uvozniku ponuditi sprostitev izdelkov ob vseh previdnostnih ukrepih, ki se jim zdijo potrebni.
5. Carinski organi, ki so zahtevali preverjanje, morajo biti o izidih takega preverjanja obveščeni čim prej. Izidi morajo jasno pokazati, ali so dokumenti verodostojni in ali se izdelki, na katere se nanašajo, lahko štejejo za izdelke s poreklom iz pogodbenice ali iz ene od drugih držav, ki so omenjene v 3. in 4. členu, ter izpolnjujejo druge zahteve tega protokola.
6. Če v primerih upravičenega dvoma ni odgovora v desetih mesecih od datuma zahteve za preverjanje ali če odgovor ne vsebuje zadostne informacije za določitev verodostojnosti obravnavanega dokumenta ali pravega porekla izdelkov, carinski organi, ki so zahtevali preverjanje, razen v izjemnih okoliščinah, zavrnejo upravičenost za preferencialno obravnavo.
33. člen
Reševanje sporov
Če pride do sporov v zvezi s postopki preverjanja iz 32. člena, ki jih ni mogoče rešiti med carinskimi organi, ki zahtevajo preverjanje, in carinskimi organi, odgovornimi za izvedbo tega preverjanja, ali če se pojavi vprašanje glede razlage tega protokola, jih je treba predložiti Skupnemu odboru.
V vseh primerih se spori med uvoznikom in carinskimi organi države uvoznice rešujejo v skladu z zakonodajo te države.
34. člen
Kazni
Kaznovan bo vsakdo, ki sestavi ali povzroči, da se sestavi dokument, ki vsebuje nepravilne podatke, da bi pridobil preferencialno obravnavo za izdelke.
35. člen
Proste cone
1. Pogodbenici ukreneta vse potrebno, da zagotovita, da se izdelki, s katerimi se trguje na podlagi dokazila o poreklu in za katere med prevozom uporabljata prosto cono na svojem ozemlju, ne zamenjajo z drugimi izdelki ter da na njih niso opravljeni drugi postopki razen običajnih, ki so potrebni za preprečevanje njihovega poslabšanja.
2. Če se kot izjema od določb iz prvega odstavka izdelki s poreklom iz pogodbenice, ki imajo dokazilo o poreklu, uvozijo v prosto cono in se na njih opravijo predelave ali obdelave, pristojni organi na izvoznikovo zahtevo izdajo novo potrdilo o prometu blaga EUR.1, če je opravljena obdelava ali predelava v skladu z določbami tega protokola.

                                    PRILOGA I

                      Uvodne opombe k seznamu v Prilogi II

    Opomba 1:
    Seznam določa pogoje, ki se zahtevajo za vse izdelke, da bi se lahko šteli za
zadosti obdelane ali predelane v smislu 6. člena.

    Opomba 2:
    2.1 Prva dva stolpca v seznamu opisujeta pridobljeni izdelek. Prvi stolpec
seznama je tarifna številka ali številka poglavja, ki se uporablja v
Harmoniziranem sistemu, drugi stolpec pa vsebuje opis blaga, ki se v tem sistemu
uporablja za to tarifno številko ali poglavje. Za vsak vpis v prvih dveh stolpcih
je določeno pravilo v 3. ali 4.stolpcu. Kjer je, v nekaterih primerih, pred vpisom
v prvem stolpcu “ex“, se pravila v 3.ali 4.stolpcu uporabljajo samo za del tarifne
številke, opisane v 2.stolpcu.
    2.2 Če je v 1.stolpcu združenih več tarifnih številk ali pa je navedena
številka poglavja in je zato opis izdelkov v
       2. stolpcu splošen, se zraven navedena pravila v 3. ali
       4. stolpcu uporabljajo za vse izdelke, ki se po Harmoniziranem sistemu
uvrščajo v tarifne številke tega poglavja ali v katere koli tarifne številke,
združene v 1.stolpcu.
    2.3 Če seznam vsebuje različna pravila, ki se uporabljajo za različne izdelke
v okviru ene tarifne številke, je v vsakem novem odstavku opis tega dela tarifne
številke, za katerega se uporabljajo zraven navedena pravila v 3. ali
       4. stolpcu.
    2.4 Če je za vpis v prvih dveh stolpcih pravilo določeno tako v 3. in 4.
stolpcu ima izvoznik možnost izbire, da uporabi bodisi pravilo, določeno v 3.
stolpcu ali tisto iz
       4. stolpca. Če v 4. stolpcu ni pravila, je treba uporabiti pravilo,
določeno v 3. stolpcu.

    Opomba 3:
    3.1 Določbe 6. člena v zvezi z izdelki, ki so pridobili status blaga s
poreklom in so uporabljeni pri izdelavi drugih izdelkov, se uporabljajo ne glede
na to, ali je bil ta status pridobljen v tovarni, v kateri se izdelki uporabljajo,
ali v drugi tovarni v Pogodbenici.
    Na primer:
    Motor iz tarifne številke 8407, za katerega pravilo določa, da vrednost
materialov brez porekla, ki se lahko vgradijo, ne sme presegati 40% cene franko
tovarna, je izdelan iz “drugih legiranih jekel, grobo oblikovanih s kovanjem“ iz
tarifne številke ex 7224.
    Če je bilo to kovanje opravljeno v pogodbenici iz ingota brez porekla, potem
je že pridobil poreklo na podlagi pravila za tarifno številko ex 7224 na seznamu.
Zato se pri izračunu vrednosti motorja šteje, da ima poreklo, ne glede na to, ali
je bil izdelan v isti tovarni ali v drugi tovarni v pogodbenici. Zato se vrednost
ingota brez porekla ne upošteva, ko se sešteva vrednost uporabljenih materialov
brez porekla.
    3.2 Pravilo v seznamu pomeni najmanjši del obdelave ali predelave in več
predelave ali obdelave prav tako dodeli status porekla, nasprotno pa manj
predelave ali obdelave ne more dodeliti statusa porekla. Če torej pravilo določa,
da je možno na določeni stopnji izdelave uporabiti material brez porekla, je
uporaba tega materiala na zgodnejši stopnji obdelave dovoljena, uporaba takega
materiala na kasnejši stopnji pa ni.
    3.3 Brez vpliva na opombo 3.2, če pravilo uporablja določbe “izdelava iz
materialov iz katere koli tarifne številke”, se lahko uporabijo materiali iz
katere koli tarifne številke (tudi materiali istega opisa in iz istega poglavja
kot izdelek), pri čemer je treba upoštevati kakršne koli posebne omejitve, ki jih
pravilo tudi lahko vsebuje.
    Seveda pa izraz “Izdelava iz materialov iz katere koli tarifne številke,
vštevši druge materiale iz tarifne številke...” ali “Izdelava iz materialov iz
katere koli tarifne števike, vštevši druge materiale iz iste tarifne številke kot
je izdelek “pomeni, da se lahko uporabijo materiali iz katere koli tarifne
številke, razen tistih opisanih tako kot izdelek v 2. stolpcu seznama.
    3.4 Kadar pravilo v seznamu določa, da se izdelek lahko izdela iz več kot
enega materiala, to pomeni, da se lahko uporabi katerikoli material ali več
materialov. Ne zahteva pa, da je treba uporabiti vse.
    Na primer:
    Pravilo za tkanine iz HS 5208 do 5212 določa, da se lahko uporabijo naravna
vlakna, prav tako pa se lahko med drugimi materiali uporabijo tudi kemični
materiali. To pa ne pomeni, da je treba uporabiti oboje, uporabi se lahko eno ali
drugo ali pa oboje.
    3.5 Kadar pravilo v seznamu določa, da mora biti izdelek izdelan iz določenega
materiala, ta pogoj očitno ne preprečuje uporabe drugih materialov, ki zaradi
svoje narave ne morejo zadostiti pravilu (glej tudi opombo 6.2 spodaj v zvezi s
tekstilom).
    Na primer:
    Pravilo za pripravljeno hrano iz tarifne številke 1904, ki posebej izključuje
uporabo žitaric in njihovih izdelkov, ne preprečuje uporabe mineralnih soli,
kemikalij in drugih dodatkov, ki niso izdelki iz žitaric.
    Vendar to ne velja za izdelke, ki so, čeprav ne morejo biti izdelani iz
posameznega materiala, določenega v seznamu, lahko izdelani iz materialov enake
narave na zgodnejši stopnji izdelave.
    Na primer:
    Če gre za oblačila iz dela 62. poglavja, izdelanega iz netkanih materialov, če
je za to vrsto izdelkov dovoljena samo uporaba preje brez porekla, ni možno začeti
pri netkanem blagu – čeprav netkano blago običajno ne more biti izdelano iz preje.
V takih primerih je začetni material običajno na stopnji pred prejo – to je na
stopnji vlaken.
    3.6 Če pravilo v seznamu navaja za največjo vrednost materialov brez porekla,
ki se lahko uporabijo, dve odstotni postavki, potem se ta odstotka ne smeta
seštevati. Z drugimi besedami, največja vrednost vseh uporabljenih materialov brez
porekla nikoli ne sme preseči najvišje od navedenih odstotnih postavk. Poleg tega
posamezne odstotne postavke, ki se nanašajo na določene materiale, ne smejo biti
presežene.

    Opomba 4:
    4.1 Izraz “naravna vlakna“ se v seznamu uporablja za vlakna, ki niso umetna
ali sintetična. Omejen je na stopnje pred predenjem, vključno z odpadki, in, razen
če ni drugače določeno, zajema vlakna, ki so bila mikana, česana ali drugače
obdelana, vendar ne spredena.
    4.2 Izraz “naravna vlakna“ vključuje konjsko žimo iz tarifne številke 0503,
svilo iz tarifnih številk 5002 in 5003, kakor tudi volnena vlakna, fino ali grobo
živalsko dlako iz tarifnih številk 5101 do 5105, bombažna vlakna iz tarifnih
številk 5201 do 5203 in druga rastlinska vlakna iz tarifnih številk 5301 do 5305.
    4.3 Izrazi “tekstilna kaša“, “kemični materiali“ in “materiali za izdelavo
papirja“ so v seznamu uporabljeni za opis materialov, ki se ne uvrščajo v 50. do
63. poglavje in se lahko uporabijo za izdelavo umetnih, sintetičnih ali papirnih
vlaken ali prej.
    4.4 Izraz “umetna ali sintetična rezana vlakna“ se v seznamu uporablja za
sintetične ali umetne filamente, rezana vlakna ali odpadke iz tarifnih številk
5501 do 5507.

    Opomba 5:
    5.1 Če se za izdelek v seznamu navaja ta opomba, se za katere koli osnovne
tekstilne materiale, ki se uporabljajo pri njihovi izdelavi in če se upoštevajo
skupaj, ne presegajo 10% skupne teže vseh uporabljenih osnovnih tekstilnih
materialov, ne uporabljajo pogoji, določeni v 3. stolpcu seznama (glej tudi opombi
5.3 in 5.4 spodaj).
    5.2 Vendar pa se odstopanje iz opombe 5.1 lahko uporabi le za mešane izdelke,
ki so narejeni iz dveh ali več osnovnih tekstilnih materialov.
    Osnovni tekstilni materiali so:
    – svila
    – volna
    – groba živalska dlaka
    – fina živalska dlaka
    – konjska žima
    – bombaž
    – materiali za izdelavo papirja in papir
    – lan
    – konoplja
    – juta in druga tekstilna vlakna iz ličja
    – sisal in druga tekstilna vlakna iz rodu agav
    – kokosova vlakna, abaka, ramija in druga rastlinska tekstilna vlakna
    – sintetični filamenti
    – umetni filamenti
    – prevodni filamenti
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz polipropilena
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliestra
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliamida
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliakrilonitrila
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliimida
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz politetrafluoretilena
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz poli(fenilensulfida)
    – sintetična rezana vlakna iz poli(vinilklorida)
    – druga sintetična rezana vlakna
    – umetna rezana vlakna iz viskoze
    – druga umetna rezana vlakna
    – preja iz poliuretana, laminirana s fleksibilnimi segmenti polietra, povezana
ali ne
    – preja iz poliuretana, laminirana s fleksibilnimi segmenti poliestra,
povezana ali ne
    – izdelki iz tarifne številke 5605 (metalizirana preja), ki vključujejo trak z
jedrom iz aluminijaste folije ali z jedrom iz plastičnega sloja, prevlečenega z
aluminijastim prahom ali ne, širine, ki ne presega 5 mm, kjer so plasti zlepljene
s prozornim ali obarvanim lepilom med dvema plastičnima slojema
    – drugi izdelki iz tarifne številke 5605.
    Na primer:
    Preja iz tarifne številke 5205, izdelana iz bombažnih vlaken iz tarifne
številke 5203 in sintetičnih rezanih vlaken iz tarifne številke 5506, je mešana
preja. Zato se lahko uporabijo sintetična rezana vlakna brez porekla, ki ne
zadovoljujejo pravil o poreklu (po katerih se zahteva izdelava iz kemičnih
materialov ali tekstilne kaše), pod pogojem, da njihova skupna teža ne presega 10%
teže preje.
    Na primer:
    Volnena tkanina iz tarifne številke 5112, izdelana iz volnene preje iz tarifne
številke 5107 in sintetične preje iz sintetičnih rezanih vlaken iz tarifne
številke 5509, je mešana tkanina. Zato se lahko sintetična preja, ki ne
zadovoljuje pravil o poreklu (po katerih se zahteva izdelava iz kemičnih
materialov ali tekstilne kaše) ali volnena preja, ki ne zadovoljuje pravil o
poreklu (po katerih se zahteva izdelava iz naravnih vlaken, nemikanih ali
nečesanih ali kako drugače pripravljenih za predenje), ali kombinacija obeh prej
uporabi, če njihova skupna teža ne presega 10% teže tkanine.
    Na primer:
    Taftana tekstilna tkanina iz tarifne številke 5802, izdelana iz bombažne preje
iz tarifne številke 5205 in iz bombažne tkanine iz tarifne številke 5210, je mešan
izdelek le, če je bombažna tkanina sama mešana tkanina, izdelana iz prej,
uvrščenih v dve različni tarifni številki, ali če so uporabljene bombažne preje
same mešanice.
    Na primer:
    Če bi bila ta taftana tekstilna tkanina izdelana iz bombažne preje iz tarifne
številke 5205 in iz sintetične tkanine iz tarifne številke 5407, je očitno, da je
uporabljena preja iz dveh različnih osnovnih tekstilnih materialov in je v skladu
s tem taftana tekstilna tkanina mešan izdelek.
    5.3 Za izdelke, ki vsebujejo “prejo iz poliuretana, laminirano s fleksibilnimi
segmenti polietra, povezano ali ne“, je to odstopanje pri preji 20%.
    5.4 Za izdelke, ki vsebujejo “trak z jedrom iz aluminijaste folije ali z
jedrom iz plastičnega sloja, prevlečenega z aluminijastim prahom ali ne, širine,
ki ne presega 5 mm, kjer so plasti zlepljene z prozornim ali barvnim lepilom med
dvema plastičnima slojema“, je to odstopanje pri traku 30%.

    Opomba 6:
    6.1 Če se v seznamu sklicuje na to opombo, se tekstilni materiali (razen vlog
in medvlog), ki ne ustrezajo pravilu za izdelan izdelek, določenem v seznamu v 3.
stolpcu, lahko uporabijo, če se uvrščajo v tarifno številko, ki je drugačna od
tarifne številke izdelka in če njihova vrednost ne presega 8% cene izdelka franko
tovarna.
    6.2 Brez vpliva na opombo 6.3 se materiali, ki se ne uvrščajo v 50. do 63.
poglavje, lahko prosto uporabljajo pri izdelavi tekstilnih izdelkov, ne glede na
to, ali vsebujejo tekstil ali ne.
    Na primer:
    Če pravilo v seznamu določa, da mora biti za določen tekstilni izdelek, kot so
na primer hlače, uporabljena preja, to ne preprečuje uporabe kovinskih predmetov,
kot so gumbi, ker gumbi niso uvrščeni v 50. do 63. poglavje. Iz istega razloga to
ne preprečuje uporabe zadrg, čeprav zadrge običajno vsebujejo tekstil.
    6.3 Če se uporablja odstotno pravilo je treba pri izračunu vrednosti
vključenih materialov brez porekla upoštevati tudi vrednost materialov, ki niso
uvrščeni v 50. do 63. poglavje.

    Opomba 7:
    7.1 Za namene tarifnih številk ex 2707, 2713 do 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 in ex
3403 so “specifični procesi“ naslednji:

aktiviranim ogljem ali boksitom;
    g) polimerizacija;
    h) alkilizacija;
    ij) izomerizacija;
    k) samo za težka olja, ki se uvrščajo v tarifno številko ex 2710, razžveplanje

vodikom pri tlaku nad 20 barov in temperaturi nad 250 °C, z uporabo katalizatorja,
razen obdelave za razžveplanje, kadar vodik predstavlja aktivni element v kemični
reakciji. Vendar se nadaljnja obdelava olj za mazanje iz tarifne številke ex 2710
(npr. končna obdelava z vodikom ali razbarvanje), še posebno takrat, kadar se želi
izboljšati barva ali obstojnost, ne obravnava kot specifični proces;
    n) samo za goriva, ki se uvrščajo v tarifno številko ex 2710, atmosferska
destilacija, če se manj kot 30 vol.% izdelkov, vključno z izgubami, destilira pri

3403 enostavne operacije, kot so: čiščenje, dekantiranje, razsoljevanje, vodna
separacija, filtriranje, barvanje, označevanje, ohranjanje vsebine žvepla kot
rezultat mešanja izdelkov z različno vsebino žvepla, katerakoli kombinacija teh
operacij ali podobne operacije ne podelijo porekla.
