(98/223/EC)
THE EC-TURKEY ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,
Having regard to the Agreement establishing an Association between the ►M1 European Community ◄ and Turkey,
Having regard to the Additional Protocol to that Agreement and in particular to Article 35 thereof,
Whereas Article 26 of Decision 1/95 of the Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union ( 1 ) provides that Turkey and the ►M1 European Community ◄ shall progressively improve the preferential arrangements which they grant each other for their trade in agricultural products;
Whereas the resolution of the Association Council of 6 March 1995 considered it necessary to start negotiations concerning the granting of reciprocal concessions on agricultural products;
Whereas in order to take account of certain problems following the enlargement of the ►M1 European Community ◄ and the implementation of the Uruguay Round Agreement certain changes to the trade regime appeared necessary;
Whereas negotiations have been held between Turkey and the ►M1 European Community ◄ ;
Whereas origin rules have been also agreed between the parties;
Whereas it is appropriate to consolidate in a single document the trade preferences on agricultural products between Turkey and the ►M1 European Community ◄ ,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
1. Quantitative restrictions on imports and on exports of agricultural products and all equivalent measures shall be prohibited between the ►M1 European Community ◄ and Turkey.
2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not restrict in any way the pursuance of the respective agricultural policies of the ►M1 European Community ◄ and Turkey or the taking of any measures under such policies.
Article 2
The preferential regime applied by the ►M1 European Community ◄ to the import of agricultural products originating in Turkey is set out in Protocol 1.
Article 3
The preferential regime applied by Turkey to the import of agricultural products originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ is set out in Protocol 2.
Article 4
The rules of origin are set out in Protocol 3.
Article 5
Where either the quantities or the prices of imported products from the other party in respect of which a preferential regime has been granted causes or threatens to cause disturbance of the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkish markets, consultations shall be held as soon as possible within the Association Council. This shall not preclude the application, in an emergency, of measures provided for under ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkish rules.
Article 6
Decision No 1/77 and Article 2, Article 3(1), (3) and (4) and Article 4 of Chapter 1 of Decision No 1/80 are hereby deleted.

ANNEX 2
COOPERATION SCHEME ON HAZELNUTS
In order to encourage market stability and continuity of supply as well as stable market prices for hazelnuts, the following cooperation scheme in this sector shall apply.
1. Before the beginning of each marketing year, during the second half of September at the latest, an exchange of views will take place between the two parties which may include, from the ►M1 European Community ◄ side, the relevant European organisations for the product concerned and, from the Turkish side, Fiskobirlik, together with the relevant exporter unions.
During these consultations the market situation for hazelnuts including, in particular, production forecasts, stocks situation, expected producer and export prices and possible market development as well as possibilities of adapting supply to demand will be discussed.
2. If the import of hazelnuts from Turkey into the European Community takes place under such conditions that the European Community market risks being disturbed in the immediate future, the Commission of the European Communities will alert the Turkish authorities. Immediate consultations will take place with the aim of examining possibilities for market stabilisation.

TITLE II
DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF ‘ORIGINATING PRODUCTS’
Article 2
General requirements
1. For the purpose of implementing this Decision, the following products shall be considered as originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ :
(a) products wholly obtained in the ►M1 European Community ◄ within the meaning of Article 4 of this Protocol;
(b) products obtained in the ►M1 European Community ◄ incorporating materials which have not been wholly obtained there, provided that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing in the ►M1 European Community ◄ within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol;
2. For the purpose of implementing this Decision, the following products shall be considered as originating in Turkey:
(a) products wholly obtained in Turkey within the meaning of Article 4 of this Protocol;
(b) products obtained in Turkey incorporating materials which have not been wholly obtained there, provided that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing in Turkey within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol.
Article 3
Bilateral cumulation of origin
1. Materials originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ shall be considered as materials originating in Turkey when incorporated into a product obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided they have undergone working or processing going beyond that referred to in Article 6(1) of this Protocol.
2. Materials originating in Turkey shall be considered as materials originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ when incorporated into a product obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided they have undergone working or processing going beyond that referred to in Article 6(1) of this Protocol.
Article 4
Wholly obtained products
1. The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey:
(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 the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey by their vessels;
(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in subparagraph (f);
(h) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;
(i) goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in subparagraphs (a) to (h).
2. The terms ‘their vessels’ and ‘their factory ships’ in subparagraphs 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships:
(a) which are registered or recorded in an EC Member State or in Turkey;
(b) which sail under the flag of an EC Member State or of Turkey;
(c) which are owned to an extent of a least 50 % by nationals of EC Member States or of Turkey, or by a company with its head office in one of these States, 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 EC Member States or of Turkey and of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to those States or to public bodies or nationals of the said States;
(d) of which the master and officers are nationals of EC Member States or of Turkey; and
(e) of which at least 75 % of the crew are nationals of EC Member States or of Turkey.
Article 5
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 this Decision, the working or processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials. Accordingly, 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 % 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.
3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply except as provided in Article 6.
Article 6
Insufficient working or processing operations
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 5 are satisfied:
(a) operations to ensure the preservation of products in good condition during transport and storage (ventilation, spreading out, drying, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur dioxide or other aqueous solutions, removal of damaged parts, and like operations);
(b) simple operations consisting or removal of dust, sifting or screening, sorting, classifying, matching (including the making-up of sets of articles), washing, painting, cutting up;
(c)
(i) changes of packaging and breaking up and assembly of packages;
(ii) simple placing in bottles, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards etc., and all other simple packaging operations;
(d) affixing marks, labels and other like distinguishing signs on products or their packaging;
(e) simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds, where one or more components of the mixtures do not meet the conditions laid down in this Protocol to enable them to be considered as originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey;
(f) simple assembly of parts to constitute a complete product;
(g) a combination of two or more operations specified in subparagraphs (a) to (f);
(h) slaugther of animals.
2. All the operations carried out in either the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 7
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.
Accordingly, 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 8
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 9
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) good which do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.
TITLE III
TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS
Article 10
Principle of territoriality
1. The conditions set out in Title II relative to the acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey.
2. If originating goods exported from the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey to another country are returned they must be considered as non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
(a) the goods returned are the same goods 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.
Article 11
Direct transport
1. The preferential treatment provided for under the Decision applies only to products, satisfying the requirements of this Protocol, which are transported directly between the ►M1 European Community ◄ and Turkey. However, products constituting one single consignment may be transported through other territories with, should the occasion arise, transhipment 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.
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 12
Exhibitions
1. Originating products, sent for exhibition in another country and sold after the exhibition for importation in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey shall benefit on importation from the provisions of the Decision provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
(a) an exporter has consigned these products from the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey;
(c) the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent for exhibition; and
(d) the products have not, since they were consigned for exhibition, been used for any purpose other than demonstration at the 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 13
Prohibition of drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties
1. Non-originating materials used in the manufacture of products originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or in Turkey for which a proof of origin is issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Title V shall not be subject in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 or 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 7(2) and products in a set within the meaning of Article 8 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 Decisions 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 Decision.
6. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, when Turkey applies a higher rate of customs duty than is in force in the ►M1 European Community ◄ , Turkey may apply arrangements for drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, applicable to materials used in the manufacture of originating products, subject to the condition that the rate of customs charge shall not be less than that applicable to the same materials imported into the ►M1 European Community ◄ .
TITLE V
PROOF OF ORIGIN
Article 14
General requirements
1. Products originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ shall, on importation into Turkey and products originating in Turkey shall, on importation into the ►M1 European Community ◄ , benefit from the Decision upon submission of either:
(a) a movement certificate EUR.1, a specimen of which appears in Annex III; or
(b) in the cases specified in Article 19(1), a declaration, the text of which appears in Annex IV, 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 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘invoice declaration’).
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, originating products within the meaning of this Protocol shall, in the cases specified in Article 23, benefit from the Decision without it being necessary to submit any of the documents referred to above.
Article 15
Procedure for the issue of a movement certificate EUR.1
1. A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities of the exporting country on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the exporter’s responsibility, by his authorised representative.
2. For this purpose, the exporter or his authorised representative shall fill out both the movement certificate EUR.1 and the application form, specimens of which appear in Annex III. These forms shall be completed in one of the languages in which the Decision is drawn up and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic law of the exporting country. If they are handwritten, they shall be completed in ink in printed characters. The description of the products must be given in the box reserved for this purpose without leaving any blank lines. Where the box is not completely filled, a horizontal line must be drawn below the last line of the description, the empty space being crossed through.
3. The exporter applying for the issue of a movement certificate EUR.1 shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorities of the exporting country where the movement certificate EUR.1 is issued, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.

5. The issuing customs authorities shall take any steps necessary to verify the originating status of the products and the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 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. The issuing customs authorities 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 16
Movement certificates EUR.1 issued retrospectively
1. Notwithstanding Article 15(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.

2. An invoice declaration may be made out if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 handwritten, 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 20 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 20
Approved exporter
1. The customs authorities of the exporting country may authorise any exporter who makes frequent shipments of products under this Decision 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, does not fulfil the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise makes an incorrect use of the authorisation.
Article 21
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 22
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 Decision.
Article 23
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 C2/CP3 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 ECU 500 in the case of small packages or ECU 1 200 in the case of products from forming part of travellers’ personal luggage.
Article 24
Supporting documents
The document referred to in Articles 15(3) and 19(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 the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 bookkeeping;
(b) documents proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law;

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 26
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 27
Amounts expressed in ecus
1. Amounts in the national currency of the exporting country equivalent to the amounts expressed in ecus shall be fixed by the exporting country and communicated to the importing countries through the Commission of the European Communities.
2. When the amounts exceed the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing country, the latter shall accept them if the products are invoiced in the currency of the exporting country. When the products are invoiced in the currency of another EC Member State or Turkey, the importing country shall recognise the amount notified by the country concerned.
3. The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the amounts expressed in ecus as at the first working day in October 1996.
4. The amounts expressed in ecus and their equivalents in the national currencies of the EC Member States and Turkey shall be reviewed by the Association Committee at the request of the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey. When carrying out this review, the Association Committee shall ensure that there will be no decrease in the amounts to be used in any national currency and shall furthermore 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 ecus.
TITLE VI
ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION
Article 28
Mutual assistance
1. The customs authorities of the EC Member States and of Turkey shall provide each other, through the Commission of the European Communities, 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 ►M1 European Community ◄ and Turkey 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 29
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 the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol.
6. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within 10 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 30
Dispute settlement
Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 29 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 Association 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 31
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 32
Free zones
1. The ►M1 European Community ◄ and Turkey 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 the ►M1 European Community ◄ or Turkey 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 EUR.1 certificate at the exporter’s request, if the treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this Protocol.
TITLE VII

Article 33
Application of the Protocol
1. The term ‘ ►M1 European Community ◄ ’ used in Article 2 does not cover Ceuta and Melilla.
2. Products originating in Turkey, when imported into Ceuta or Melilla, shall enjoy in all respects the same customs regime as that which is applied to products originating in the customs territory of the ►M1 European Community ◄ under Protocol 2 of the Act of Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic of the European Communities. Turkey shall grant to imports of products covered by the Decision and originating in Ceuta and Melilla the same customs regime as that which is granted to products imported from and originating in the ►M1 European Community ◄ .
3. For the purpose of the application of paragraph 2 concerning products in Ceuta and Melilla, this Protocol shall apply mutatis mutandis subject to the special conditions set out in Article 34.
Article 34
Special conditions

(1) products originating in Ceuta and Melilla:
(a) products wholly obtained in Ceuta and Melilla;
(b) products obtained in Ceuta and Melilla in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) are used, provided that:
(i) the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol; or that
(ii) those products are originating in Turkey or the ►M1 European Community ◄ within the meaning of this Protocol, provided that they have been submitted to working or processing which goes beyond the insufficient working or processing referred to in Article 6(1).
(2) products originating in Turkey:
(a) products wholly obtained in Turkey;
(b) products obtained in Turkey, in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) are used, provided that:
(i) the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 5 of this Protocol; or that
(ii) those products are originating in Ceuta and Melilla or the ►M1 European Community ◄ within the meaning of this Protocol, provided that they have been submitted to working or processing which goes beyond the insufficient working or processing referred to in Article 6(1).
2. Ceuta and Melilla shall be considered as a single territory.

TITLE VIII
FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 35
Amendments to the Protocol
The Association Council may decide to amend the provisions of this Protocol.
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 5 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 columns 3 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, this signifies that the rules in columns 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 columns 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 columns 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 has to be applied.
Note 3:
3.1. The provisions of Article 5 of the Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the ►M1 European Community ◄ or in Turkey.
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 states that ‘materials of any heading’ may be used, materials of the same heading as the product may also 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 No,’ means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.
3.4. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that any one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.
3.5. Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition obviously does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule.
Example:
The rule for prepared foods of heading No 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 material specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture.
