Decision No 1/2022 of the EU-Jordan Association Council of 15 March 2022 amending Protocol 3 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation [2022/1476]

7.9.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 232/37 ACTS ADOPTED BY BODIES CREATED BY INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS DECISION No 1/2022 OF THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COUNCIL of 15 March 2022 amending Protocol 3 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation [2022/1476] THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COUNCIL, Having regard to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, and in particular Article 4 of Protocol 3 thereto concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, Whereas: (1) Article 28 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), refers to Protocol 3 to the Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (‘Protocol 3’), which lays down the rules of origin. (2) Article 4 of Protocol 3 provides that the Association Council established by Article 89 of the Agreement may decide to amend the provisions of Protocol 3. (3) Following the adoption of Council Decision (EU) 2020/2067(1)on the position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Association Council as regards the amendment of the Agreement by replacing Protocol 3, the Association Council adopted Decision No 1/2021(2)replacing Protocol 3 with a new text. (4) Protocol 3 contains, on the one hand, a dynamic reference to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin(3) (‘the PEM Convention’), making the PEM Convention applicable between the Union and Jordan, and, on the other hand, the transitional rules that have been applicable as an alternative set of rules of origin to those laid down in the current PEM Convention since 1 September 2021. (5) As part of the Union’s support for Jordan in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis, in July 2016 the Union and Jordan agreed to temporarily relax rules of origin applying to exports of Jordanian products to the Union under the Agreement. (1) Council Decision (EU) 2020/2067 of 7 December 2020 on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Association Council established by the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, as regards the amendment of that Agreement by replacing Protocol 3 thereto concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (OJ L 424, 15.12.2020, p. 37). (2) Decision No 1/2021 of the EU-Jordan Association Council of 15 April 2021 amending the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, by replacing Protocol 3 thereto concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation [2021/742] (OJ L 164, 10.5.2021, p. 1). (3) Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (OJ L 54, 26.2.2013, p. 4).L 232/38 EN Official Journal of the European Union 7.9.2022 (6) Consequently, the EU-Jordan Association Committee adopted Decision No 1/2016(4) to amend the provisions of Protocol 3 as regards the definition of the concept of originating products’ and to supplement the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in the territory of Jordan and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status. (7) In December 2017, Jordan presented the first annual report on the implementation of the rules of origin scheme established by Decision No 1/2016 and made a number of requests for further relaxation of the scheme. In December 2018, having examined Jordan’s requests, the Council, on behalf of the Union, considered the requests justified and agreed to further relax certain requirements of the rules of origin scheme, for example by abandoning the zone requirement, setting a requirement that for each production facility 15 % of the total workforce be Syrian, and extending the duration of the scheme until 31 December 2030. (8) The EU-Jordan Association Committee adopted Decision No 1/2018(5) to amend the provisions of Protocol 3 by relaxing the rules of origin scheme further and extending the duration of the scheme established by Decision No 1/2016 until 31 December 2030. Decision No 1/2018 entered into force on 4 December 2018. (9) Decision No 1/2021 does not maintain the derogating measures introduced by Decisions No 1/2016 and No 1/2018 in relation to the temporary relaxation of rules of origin applying to exports of Jordanian products to the Union under the Agreement. (10) To ensure the continued application of Decisions No 1/2016 and No 1/2018, it is necessary to link them to the transitional rules, which have been applicable since 1 September 2021. (11) It is necessary to amend Protocol 3 in order to maintain the rules of origin scheme established by Decision No 1/2016 by linking them to the transitional rules laid down in Protocol 3, as last amended by Decision No 1/2021. (12) Protocol 3 should therefore be amended by adding an Appendix B containing an additional list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for the products manufactured in Jordan to obtain originating status. (13) The application of Appendix B to Protocol 3 should be accompanied by appropriate monitoring and reporting obligations. In addition, it should be possible to suspend the application of Appendix B to Protocol 3 if the conditions for its application are no longer fulfilled or if the conditions for safeguard measures are met. (14) In order to ensure continuity in the application of Decisions No 1/2016 and No 1/2018, including the derogations provided for therein, and thus to enable authorised exporters to avoid incurring economic losses under Decision No 1/2016, it is appropriate to apply this Decision retroactively, from 1 September 2021, (4) Decision No 1/2016 of the EU-Jordan Association Committee of 19 July 2016 amending the provisions of Protocol 3 to the Euro- Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association ‘between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of originating products’ and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in dedicated development zones and industrial areas, and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status [2016/1436] (OJ L 233, 30.8.2016, p. 6). (5) Decision No 1/2018 of the EU-Jordan Association Committee of 4 December 2018 amending the provisions of Protocol 3 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in the territory of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status [2019/42] (OJ L 9, 11.1.2019, p. 147).7.9.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 232/39 HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 1. Protocol 3 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (‘Protocol 3’) shall be amended by adding an Appendix B thereto, containing the conditions for application of that Appendix B and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for products manufactured in Jordan to obtain originating status, where the manufacture of those products involved the employment of Syrian refugees as set out in the Annex to this Decision. 2. Appendix B to Protocol 3 shall apply until 31 December 2030. Article 2 For the purposes of the application of this Decision, proofs of origin may be issued retrospectively for exports carried out between 1 September 2021and the date of entry into force of this Decision.

BORRELL FONTELLESL 232/40 EN Official Journal of the European Union 7.9.2022 ANNEX Appendix B ADDENDUM TO THE LIST OF WORKING OR PROCESSING REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED OUT ON NON-ORIGINATING MATERIALS IN ORDER FOR PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED IN JORDAN TO OBTAIN ORIGINATING STATUS Article 1 Common provisions A. Definition of origin 1. For the products listed in Article 2 of this Appendix, the following rules may also apply instead of the rules set out in Annex II to Appendix I to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin as referred in Article 1(1) of Protocol 3 (‘the PEM Convention’), provided that such products respect the following conditions: (a) the required working or processing to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for such products to obtain originating status takes place in production facilities located in the territory of Jordan; and (b) the total workforce of each production facility located in the territory of Jordan where such products are worked or processed contains a proportion of Syrian refugees equivalent to at least 15 % (calculated individually for each production facility). 2. The relevant proportion pursuant to point (b) of paragraph 1 shall be calculated at any point after the entry into force of this Appendix and on an annual basis thereafter, taking into account the number of Syrian refugees who are employed in formal and decent jobs and on a full-time equivalent basis, and who have received a work permit valid for a minimum period of 12 months under the applicable legislation of Jordan. 3. The competent authorities of Jordan shall monitor that the eligible production facilities comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1, shall grant to production facilities fulfilling such conditions an authorisation number and shall promptly withdraw such authorisation number when the production facilities no longer fulfill such conditions. B. Proof of origin 4. A proof of origin made out pursuant to this Appendix shall contain the following statement in English: ‘Derogation – Appendix B to Protocol 3 – [authorisation number granted by the competent authorities of Jordan]’. C. Administrative cooperation 5. When, in accordance with Article 32(5) of Appendix I to the PEM Convention, the customs authorities of Jordan inform the European Commission or the requesting customs authorities of the Member States of the European Union (the ‘Member States’) of the results of the verification, they shall specify that the products listed in Article 2 of this Appendix fulfil the conditions set out in paragraph 1 of this Article. 6. Where the verification procedure or any other available information appears to indicate that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 of this Article are not fulfilled, Jordan shall, on its own initiative or at the request of the European Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States, carry out appropriate inquiries or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out with due urgency to identify and prevent such violations. For that purpose, the European Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States may participate in the inquiries.7.9.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 232/41 D. Report, monitoring and review 7. Each year after the entry into force of this Appendix, Jordan shall submit a report to the European Commission on the operation and effects of this Appendix, including production and export statistics at 8 digit level or the highest level of detail available for the products covered by the scheme. Jordan shall also submit a list identifying the production facilities in Jordan and specifying the percentage of Syrian refugees employed in each individual production facility on a year-by-year basis. Jordan shall also report, on a quarterly basis, on the overall number of active work permits or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee. The Parties shall jointly review such reports and any issues relating to the implementation and monitoring of this Appendix within the bodies established by the Association Agreement, and in particular in the Sub-Committee on Industry, Trade and Services. The Parties shall also ensure the involvement of relevant international organisations, such as the International Labour Organization and the World Bank, in the monitoring process. 8. Once Jordan has achieved its target of facilitating a greater participation of Syrian refugees in the formal labour market by issuing at least 60 000 active work permits, or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee, to Syrian refugees, the Parties shall apply the provisions of this Appendix to all products covered by this Appendix without the requirement to comply with the specific conditions set out in point (b) of paragraph 1 of this Article. 9. If the European Union considers that there is insufficient evidence of Jordan complying with the conditions set out in paragraph 8, the European Union may refer the matter to the Association Committee. If the Association Committee fails to declare within 90 days of the referral of the matter that the conditions set out in paragraph 8 are met or to amend this Appendix, the European Union may decide that the specific conditions set out in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall apply. E. Temporary suspension 10. (a) Without prejudice to paragraphs 8 and 9, the European Union may, if it considers that there is insufficient evidence of Jordan or any specific production facility complying with the conditions set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, refer the matter to the Association Committee. That referral shall identify whether the failure to comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 is attributable to Jordan or any specific production facility. (b) If the Association Committee fails to declare within 90 days of the referral of the matter that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are met or to amend this Appendix, the application of this Appendix shall be suspended. The duration of the suspension shall be that identified in the referral of the European Union to the Association Committee. (c) The Association Committee may also decide to extend the 90-day period. In that case, the suspension shall take effect when the Association Council has failed to take any of the actions identified in point (b) within the extended period of time. (d) The application of this Appendix may resume if the Association Committee so decides. (e) In the case of a suspension, this Appendix shall continue to apply for a period of four months in relation to products which are, on the date of temporary suspension of the Appendix, either in transit or in temporary storage in customs warehouses or in free zones in the European Union, and for which a proof of origin was properly made out in accordance with the provisions of this Appendix prior to the date of temporary suspension. F. Safeguard mechanism 11. Where a product listed in Article 2 benefiting from the application of this Appendix is imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to European Union producers of like or directly competitive products in all or part of the territory of the European Union or serious disturbances in any sector of the economy of the European Union, in accordance with Articles 24 and 26 of the Agreement, the EuropeanL 232/42 EN Official Journal of the European Union 7.9.2022 Union may refer the matter for examination to the Association Committee. If within 90 days of the matter being referred to it, the Association Committee fails to adopt a decision putting an end to such serious injury or threat thereof or serious disturbances or if no other satisfactory solution has been reached, the application of this Appendix shall be suspended with respect to that product, until the Association Committee adopts a decision declaring that they have ended or until a satisfactory solution has been reached by the Parties and is notified to the Association Committee.
