A new regulation is amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 to implement the transitional rules of origin. The transitional rules of origin are applicable in parallel with the rules of origin of the PEM Convention creating two distinctive zones of cumulation. Therefore, an indication of the legal framework used for determining the origin of goods should be made in the supplier’s declaration by the supplier, allowing the exporter to determine the originating status of goods under the correct framework for those materials that are fulfilling both sets of rules of origin.
The 23 Contracting Parties to the PEM Convention are:
- the EU,
- the EFTA States (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein),
- the Faroe Islands,
- the participants in the Barcelona Process (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey,
